A Note from Mr. Kauzlarich

was received by JoAnn and Terry.  I will quote the message.....
"I know I am slow in writing, but I just don't seem to be able to do anything as quickly as I once would have been able to do.  I so appreciate  all the work you and all the other volunteers did to make the reunion such a success.  Thank everyone for me.  This is the first reunion I have been to and didn't know what to expect.  I was pleased with the reception I received and with the renewal of connections to such a number of people whom I had not seen in over 40 years.  You folks had everything so well planned and everything went really well.

I am sorry I didn't have the nerve to give a few words to the group.  I had some things planned and then all the other speakers seemed to be comedians with their comments.  I didn't have anything funny to say, I didn't think, so I didn't get up.  Actually, now I know I should have just gotten up and at least told the group I was happy to be there and to see everyone.

The weekend after your reunion, I went to a 50th reunion at Corning for many people I hadn't see in 50 years.  I remembered many of them but had to rely on the yearbook to identify some of them.  Last week end they had an all years reunion because it is the last year Corning Schools will exist as Corning, because they are combining with Villisca next year and will have a new name."

The Faculty

also came home for this reunion. I know they looked at name tags, do you think they remembered any of us?  I was thrilled to talk to the faculty. Several I see quite often, in the past I delivered mail to two of the faculty........for years....
I told Mr Olsen that he accused Mark and I of playing footsie in his class.  I told him about that event and that we were not playing footsie, we were passing notes..Mr Olsen said that his mother told him..........."What I did not know then........I don't need to know now"  what a great quote, especially from people that had some major problems with some of the teachers.
Anyway, it was a fantastic evening. Thanks to the class  of 66 for giving us the idea to meet up again before the 50th year. The Class of 67 will start to have monthly events very soon.........Heads up............OOH RAH OOH RAH........

left early to have dinner with the 50 year class of 63, this photo was
taken early in the evening.  Greg Lammert 66, Denny Evans 67 and Fred Cosler 67
