I am forwarding
this to you as I thought it might be news worthy for the class. Due
to the travel distance I wouldn't expect anyone to come but all are
very welcome and we would be pleased to see them. The children

-----Original Message----- On Saturday, June 14, The Packer Family would like to invite you to honor our parents on their 50th Wedding Anniversary. As you can imagine, we hope to make this a very special night to honor our parents and grandparents who continue to inspire us with their love and devotion to one another and the solid foundation they have provided to us as a family. Next week you will be receiving a formal invitation, but since many of their friends now live out of town, I wanted to give as much advance warning as possible. Attached is the actual invitation. We hope you can make it! Best, Katie Packer P.S. If you are extended family, please feel free to pass this along to other family members as I may not have email addresses for all of them.

Hi Bernie,
You have probably already heard that Jim Roll was presented with an
Alumnus of the Year for Special Achievement Award at the Quaker
Foundation Awards Banquet last Friday night. Here’s a couple
pictures of Jim and Lolly for the Newsflash page. Hope you are
getting along well. You really looked great at the bash the
other day.

Hi Bernie: We sure need the class's prayers now. Frank
is in the hospital. His liver is/was failing. They are
working on the premise that an antibiotic is the cause. The
one (don't remember the name) is one that stays in the body longer
than any other. They are giving him two things and will check
the blood work daily. If the liver count goes down, they will
know that it the cause. If not lots of other things. The
doctors really scared me when they first told me and that it was
very serious. At least now, we have a more positive outlook.
He was supposed to go into
Thanks, Gloria |

I went to our monthly
luncheon today and was shocked to find out that our classmate,
Bernie, has cancer.
I know that the majority of
those at the luncheon knew this but I wanted those of you who don't
know to be informed.
Please pray for Bernie as
he is taking treatments and send him a card to let him know that you
care.
Bernie, has never missed a
luncheon other than when he was spending time with his family.

From:
Bob Hughes [mailto:htool@msn.com]
Hi Bernie,
We plan to attend the September Bash, our first one.
I sent an e-mail to the person who ran my last class reunion and
never got an answer. My class is dead. If it is Ok I
consider myself more a part of your class than mine.
Linda wants me to include a book review I wrote for for the Mended
Hearts news letter.
Book Review,
Recommendation “Younger Next Year”
by Chris Crowley & Henry S. Lodge, M.D. The subtitle promises
to turn back your biological clock. The book encourages
you to: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy --- Until you’re 80 and beyond. Chris, now 70 and
trying to implement his ideas since retirement at age 50, lives a
very active life which includes downhill skiing.
His focus is to show the importance of exercise his
consistent and sometimes hilarious experiences.
He will encourage you to exercise at least six days per week.
He shows the importance of stress training and recommends at
least two and better three of the six days include stress training.
He discusses the important of having a professional training
and working closely with your doctor. Dr. Lodge, Harry in
the book, develops a set of rules for us to follow.
He follows up Chris’s enthusiasm with medical observations.
He shows the biological reasons for exercise and being
consistent. The book was given to
me by a hunting buddy in The message to me was
I am too easy on myself and not consistent enough.
In conclusion “if you are not doing it (activities) today you
will not be doing it tomorrow!
Have a great day and we look forward to seeing
you.
Bob and Linda

BERNIE,
Yesterday our classmate, Julie Jarvis Parr, went through eye surgery
at Aultman Hospital and is recovering at the home of her daughter,
Ann McDonald, in Newark, Ohio.
Julie had a detached retina and came through surgery and now has a
recovery period to go through. At this point there is no way
of telling if she had any loss of sight.
Please remember Julie, and send her

Bernie, Team USA won the gold 5 to 2 and we are flying home but don't need an airplane. We broke down when the GOLD medal was hung around Madison's neck. It is hard to explain the feeling or express it. We were able to go down on the ice to congratulate her. It was over an hour before we left the arena. There were over 2000 Canadians and about 75 Americans. They heard USA constantly. I lost my voice. Later I talked to a Canadian coach and he was amazed at how good our girls are. I will have more pictures for you.

Dear Bernie:
That's right. Both nights 11-0. Last night they had 67
to 3 shots on goal and tonight 62 to 5.
My son-in-law was digging through all the stats, so proud of
Madison. Of the top four scorers in the tournament, 3 are Canadian,
only one is team USA, her name is Packer. They don’t have the stats
posted from today but he thinks based on today's games she will
still be one of the top.

Bernie, Madison had three goals and 2 assists against the Russians
and was named MVP and won 11 to 0. She was interviewed on Canadian
TV as well as the internet. We are sooo proud of her. When they came
on the ice Marianne and I lost it. Then after the game the MVP
award and the Star Spangled Banner it was very memorable,

I just felt like bragging as my 16 year old sophomore granddaughter
has been selected to the girls ice hockey Team USA. She is one of
twenty young girls chosen and is the youngest player. They play in
Calgary, Alberta starting January 7 against the Russians, then
Sweden on January 8. The gold medal is on January 12 and it is
expected to be between Canada and the USA. Needless to say We are on
our way, if I can get my head thru the door. As you know I was born
in England and my wife in Wales so we are doubly proud to have a
granddaughter representing the
USA.
