Hyder Park on June 14th.  Looking forward to seeing classmates--it's been a long time.

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

I am like that other Schaefer person (who forgets to put an e in his Schaefer name) I need to firm up my plans in June.  My husband is starting radiation therapy soon but it is not scheduled yet.  Would depend on how he is doing with it.  I will let you know, I hope, sooner than later.

I'm so glad classmates are getting together on June 14. I plan to be there. 

Walter Huebner

Thanks, Marty, for setting this up.  It's on my calendar!

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

Merl, the more vowels the better the chances.  

Merl Schafer

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

Merl,  Need to be able to guess consonants.  Is there an L?

Merl Schafer

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

Merl,  I think I got it Scha-fer.   Anyway, no matter how you spell it Schaefer or Schafer are good folks in my book.   :)   I should have gotten a picture of you pretending to steal the e off of our Schaefer sign.

It is with a heavy heart that I report the death of Rod Krebs in February of this year. His wife was my roommate at UNM and we spent many hours enjoying our college time together. Rod went to Medical School at Tulane and we both eventually ended up working in the pharmaceutical industry.  You can imagine our surprise when we ended up at the same clinical research meeting.  It is a small world, and our class always seems to be at the hub.

Walter Huebner

Cheryl.  Thanks for posting about Rod Krebs passing.  Very hard to take.  Rod and I worked together at Piggly Wiggly for several years in our teens.  Great guy!  Do you have any more information about the circumstances or liink to an obituary?  Thanks.

Craig Meyers

Reyna and I are looking forward to attending the picnic on the 14th at Hyder.  We will be in Albuquerque making a "chile run".

Betty Myers (Schaefer)

Keep Merl and Kati Schafer in your prayers as they are both fighting Covid-19.  Merl was in the hospital and has a worse case but Kati says after two weeks he and she seem to be on the mend.  He says he is now in the recovery process and he wants everyone to know he will be back with those birthday wishes as soon as possible.  Best wishes to both and prayers for a speedy and complete recovery.  

I had to edit because I automatically spelled Schafer like my name Schaefer. lol 

Steve Komadina

Sorry to hear about Rod.  He had been fighting health challenges for several years.  Must live every day to its fullest.  No guarantees at our age.

James (Jim) Nohl

So sorry to hear about Merl and Kati getting Covid-19. I will keep them m in my prayers also. Ask for a monoclonal antibody infusion if you haven't already receved it. Hope you guys have a speedy recovery.

Tomorrow is the first meeting of the HHS Lunch Bunch in about 15 months!  And I picked a predicted scorcher!  Perhaps a wet t-shirt would be appropriate....or not.  Let's be creative. Maybe we can have a contest for the most resourceful cool pack!  Bring your lunch and a chair as well.  1:00, Hyder Park.  RSVP is NOT necessary. Surprise us!

George Boyden

Neal,    Start time ?  Will be great see all classmates available ! !   Vaccines & masks wouldn't be a bad idea & I bet there will be lots of smiles (with or without).    Does city have glass or alcohol issues ?  See you tomorrow !

I will not be able to make it to the picnic I am sorry to say because my husband, John, has his last 3 radiation treatments this week in Las Cruces.  Hope that will be it and he can start to recover from it all.  

Have a good time and I will be there in spirit.  Maybe next lunch at one of the breweries that has a big outdoor seating area with trees?  

Merl is slowly recovering but is still on oxygen.  Kati says the brain fog is the worst for both of them.  Keep them in your prayers.  Betty

Susan Suknot

Sorry, but it is too hot for me for outdoor lunch. maybe next time.

Helen Stambaugh (Williams)

Thank you, Marty for putting this together.  Even in the awful heat, it was great to see everyone.  Hyder Park

was nice & shady, so the hardest part was the drive to and from there---HOT!!!  Take care and be well all.

Steve Komadina

It was great!!!!!!  The only frustratng thing was not getting a chance to talk to everyone and catch up.  I got stuck solving the world's problems with Mike Wartell, with inpiut from Neal Kloepfer, Cliff Blaugrund, Steve Brooks, Helen Stambaugh and George Boyden who was fashonably late.  

What a great group and there were no fights, guns fired or cars vandalized!  

Lets do it again soon.  It was very pleasant and heat was not a problem at all.  

Prayers for all our classmates and their spouses and families undergoing medical challenges.  

Pam Richardson (Williams)

Ron and I had I had a great time at the picnic at Hyderabad Park yesterday. I posted several photos on Facebook. A big thank you to Marty and we look forward to "whatever" is planned next by Marty. 
 

Martha Glantz (Farmer)

I am so glad to have such positive reports!  It's been a long time since I've picnicked! I will report later and reveal our next destination for the second Monday of July.
