To All: 

Maybe we can figure out when the Homecoming Football game is and center out around that  -  maybe we can do a Mixer Type before or maybe a Tailgate before the game.  I googled Kearney High School website a couple of weeks ago and at that time they had not posted the 2025 Football Schedule.  I'm talking Low Key and very little up front work.  I may or may not be around for that venue  -  I have committed to a trip overseas  but don't have the dates cast in stone - trying to get commitments from our traveling friends.  But that could be something that work with.  Talk to you later.

Thanks Joann for posting about the 55th. I have been so busy with my mom that I have not had time to do anything for a reunion. We are in Arizona right now and will be back in Kearney sometime the end of February or early March. The school board does not usually approve the next year calendar until January or February so I will keep an eye out on that date. I am willing to help but cannot take the lead. I will be happy to work with Jeanne. It means more coffee dates with her!

Sue Wise (Divan)

With our 55th reunion coming up, I want to remind everyone to please update your address and email in your profile.  If you know a classmate who is not on our website, please email me their contact information.  Click the "Contact Us" link in the menu on the left.

I sent out emails last night with dates for our 55th reunion.  They are August 22-23rd.  I had the dates wrong on the email I sent out last night!  I can no longer multitask so watching BB won over an accurate email!  The committee is working on finalizing venues and activities and will send out Save the Date cards in April.  If you would like to donate towards expenses, send a check to Kathy Loschen at 607 9th Ave, Unit 79, Kearney 68845 or Venmo to @Susan-Divan.  Hope to see you in August!

Our deepest sympathy to Sheri Eatherton on the passing of her fiancée, Dan Miller. Several of us met Dan at various class gatherings.  He was a wonderful man and made her so happy again. His services are on 4/18 in Holyoke, CO.   https://www.osrfh.com/m/obituaries/daniel-miller-57/  Hugs and prayers for you Sheri!

LET'S GO!      Registry now open for  "Come as You Are" casual morning coffee with all the fixings. We need Fun and crazy people that can remember old stories. 
The Hoop-La starts at 9:00  on August 23 at 5816 6th  Avenue. All Classmates, and their Spouse or Guest are Welcome. It's free but let us know you are coming so we have plenty. Be sure to mark your attendance in the registration form. It's going to be a LATTE fun. (If you are there!)

Gary Martin

Jeanne - Vickie and I are looking forward to the breakfast and fellowship. Still remember the 45th at Danny and Deb's house...it was so much fun! Like Kathy L. said, it's special and comfortable and in a home setting! This one will be fueled by caffeine instead of alcohol 😊  Don't know how many stories we can remember but am sure we'll come up with something. Thank you in advance for opening your home up for our classmates.

Jeanne Anderson (Stade)

Let's Rumble!       Remember that COOL Rock'n Roll Band that played at Dances in the late 60's. They had lots of brass.  
So glad you are coming to the 70's celebration.  It is going to be a good weekend in Kearney. On Saturday we will reflect on the past and celebrate the future. 
Ann Pierce (I love her so much. She is a pure classy Lady) and Kathy Loeschen (She feels so passionate about 1970) will be doing the catering and trust me THEY ROCK! So grad your hippy beads and Let's Rumble!

Sue Wise (Divan)

Thanks Cindy for posting about Mom's passing.  It's been a rough spring and now we are doing lots of sorting and getting rid of things.  Sure wish she had shared more with us about some of the very old pictures and other things we are finding.  It's like a treasure hunt and we never know what we are going to find.  

I could have sworn I saw a post with pictures from Lois Tatum and was going to comment on them.  Congratulations on your 50+ years of marriage Lois and Leon!  Not many make it to 50 anymore.  Sorry you're unable to make it to the reunion.  It looked like you have a great Christmas with the Tatum family.  It was good to see Glen in a few of the pictures!

The reunion is fast approaching so find your tie-died shirts and plan to jjoin us!  It's going to be a low key enjoyable weekend.  Hope to see several of you there!  Stay cool!

To All:

We have not had a lot of interest in the Golf Event but it is still on  -  we have a few signed up but could always use more  -  As I said on my 1st post  -  we have the 1st  5  Tee Times on Saturday morning (which will accomodate 20 Golfers) but I will let the Golf Course know within a couple of weeks before so they can go ahead and book the ones we do not need.  We'll post the Golfers and choose a format  - Thanks for your patience  -  Talk to you later

Regards  -  FLS

Kathy Loschen

Just a reminder to all of the KHS Class of 1970We would live to hear from you all by August 15 so the reservation at Cunningham's on the Lake can be confirmed and paid.

The coffee on Saturday morning at Jeannie Stade's home will feature cinnamon rolls, breakfast casseroles, fruit, and coffee.  So please come hungry!

I hope to see  all of you on August 22 and 23.

Kathy

To All:

Just a heads-up  -  As the weekend comes closer to our 55th Reunion I have cancelled the last 3 Tee Times at Awarii Dunes  -  we still have the   8:30  and   8:40  available to us  -  As we speak we have  6  Golfers and that will give us  2  extra Slots with the Tee Times we have.  It was just better for the Golf Course to be able to book the rest and not loose the revenue  -  As always  -  I'll talk to you later.

Regards  -  FLS

I am so ready for PICTURES of the FUN and FROLICKING!

I hope Jeanne broke out her trumpet!

Sue Wise (Divan)

I'm going to work on getting some pictures posted of the reunion.  We had a great time but missed so many who were unable to attend. Everyone wants a 60th reunion so plan on it in 2030!!

Jeanne Anderson (Stade)

Hey Alan:

I did get my trumpet out. I played two rounds of "Hold That Tiger."(I still remember every note because we played it over and over.) No one noticed because they were laughing hilariously at all the old stories, pranks, and shenanigans from Junior and Senior High. We had such a good time! If laughter is good for you, we should all live longer after the weekend. We even had an impersonation of Miss Ogle and reminisced about Mr. McClure and Chet Marshall. No wonder they had to tear down Longfellow after we moved to "The Hill."

Alan- we should be proud to say we are Kearney High Band Alumni. Let's keep blowing our horn. 
That's my Jam!

Ron Smith

You missed a great time Alan. See you at our 60th !!!

Condolences to Emily Carranza Aldinger and family with the passing of her mother.

Sue Wise (Divan)

I finally got Karen Ohlmann's pictures uploaded to the 55th Reunion photos.  Hopefully I've spelled names correctly with no duplicate pictures. We've been camping since the 26th and have had weak cell service.  We moved to a new campsite today and we have 1-2 bars of 5G!  Good enough to upload 1-2 at a time!  Thanks Karen for taking so many great photos.  Enjoy the photos and we will hope to see all of you at our 60th in 2030!!
