Mary Ann Seely Hurley I'm sorry to hear that. Jon and I were on prom court together junior year. We were also close friends through senior year, and then, regretfully, we lost touch. I remember Curt as someone who loved fast cars. I don't like this part of aging.

Bill Klaske Curt , Tom Delaney, and I enlisted in the Army on the buddy system in Sept. 1960. We stayed in touch all these years. Very sad day for me.

Margaret Fleming MacKay Jon is the one who taught me how to drive stick shift. I hated cows. So he made me go out in a field and touch a cow before he taught me. Good memories.

Sue Deschner-Davis I can't believe this - Wednesday when I was volunteering at Lakeland, Curt was sitting in the waiting room to see the cardiologist's . Guess it must have been his heart. He had been in the ER and ICU the week before.

From Sandra Thomas Niles

Hi! back!!! I have been in contact with one classmate only for years - Barb Willard Oehlke. I found her on facebook just before coming home last Sept for an impromptu family reunion at the Darien Corn Fest. It was a ball. Went to Nursing School at Swedish-American in Rockford and have been cross-country since and ended up here in Macon, NC as retirement site. My older brother lives in the Raleigh area to make it a little more friendly. We have a home on a feeder creek to lake Gaston on the VA border. I have 1 child- a son who is career Navy - and currently at Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, CA working on a PHD in applied physics. He has 2 beautiful girls. I continue to work on an as needed basis as an ICU nurse. I work maybe 4-5 12 hour shifts/month. I had to swear in blood to Barb that I would be back for the reunion.

A Note from Leonard

I am replying to your note about a potential reunion in 2011. I am definitely interested. I am currently living in Brown County, Indiana and am semi-retired. My wife and I have lived here, in same house since 1968. Keep me on the list. Both of my parents have passed away ('94 and '99), so I haven't had much reason to visit Wisconsin the the past 10 years, but we did stop in to Darien on the way through the area in August as we were heading out west on a 3 week vacation. We stayed in Petaluma one night and tourd SF the next day and then headed south towards San Jose and ended up spending the night in Bakersfield before visiting Death Valley. It's a little different out there than rural Indiana. We drive a large motorhome and pull a Honda CR-V behind it. You can't change lanes very quickly with a rig like that, so it was a little exciting maneuvering through traffic at times. Good to hear from you.
