Danny,  How long does it take to "detox" from Sturgis? I see they have rules there this year. Good luck with that...

Doubt we'll be allowed to have a mini here.  Maybe if we call it a riot ??

I like the idea of a riot ( protest )!!!!!!  

It's been a few years since our class did that !  What grade were we in when we had the SIT DOWN in the hallway by the music rooms ??  What were we protesting ????

I just remember when I left the building I was a naughty girl !! I pulled the fire alarm and set the arlam going !!!!  I guess that is my only claim to fame for my high school days !!!!

Dick Garrelts

Way to go, Anna!  Always the rebel.
I didn't participate in those peace riots back in the day. Ended up being on the receiving end of the insults. C'est dommage. Never once have I ever regretted my service in defense of our country, our allies, and the Constitution.

Dick  -  I was in the same boat as you  -  defending Our Country in Germany  -  Making sure the Communists didn't come over the Berlin Wall and all.  Going to the Beer Fests and chasing the Frauleins  -  Going to the 1972 Olympic Stadium in Munich  -  Did I mention going to all the Beer Fests.  I better go to work and tell everyone about the World as We Know It. 

Susie / Cindy and all the Class of 70 Reunion Planners  -  I know that it has been a hard time for scheduling  -  I don't know about others but The sooner the better would be better for us  -  Like in the Spring or early Summer.  August is an A _ _  Whipping.  Just my opinion.  Thanks for all you guys efforts putting it together. Talk to you later.

Happy birthday Cindy!!! I baked you a cake for your birthday,but I ate it. It was a spice cake which happens to be my favorite and I thought of you with every bite. OK,I am a crazy old man who lies.I didn't really bake you a cake.It is the thought that counts.

Cindy Wilson (Rasmussen)

Thank you Ron for the words and birthday thoughts😂 

Cindy Wilson (Rasmussen)

Thank you  Dick !   You have one coming up in a few days.   Happy birthday to you also.   Hope you have a great day.

Happy birthday kids!  I'm headed to NM for a week to be with my younger sister, Susan.  She fell and broke her hip and a rib.  She and her hubby just bought a really nice camper so she could go on his business trips with him, that's on hold for now.  "Best laid plans"...

Seize  each day for sure!

I would like to acknowledge the passing of Kris (Nelson) Blaschko.  She was with us in school up until some time of her Senior year.  The '69 Log has her listed as a member of our class.  I think she was at Emerson Elementary with me during  one of my two enrollments.  There are several other former classmates that I recall due to various circumstances didn't formally Graduate with us in 1970 that I feel are still part of our class.  I don't know if we have any policy on the subject (Class of 1970 membership) but in the Age of Inclusion to me at least, she was a member of our class.

We have lost another classmate.Monte Anderson died yesterday Aug.13 in Grand Island.Monte's cousin Gale Epp(69),called me this afternoon and gave me the news.Monte's family moved out to Imperial Ne. in 1963.Sid(Monte's dad)went to work for Smith Brothers land leveling and surveying.On June 30,1963 Sid took Monte fishing at Ender'sDam a few miles from Imperial.They were on a cement slope and Monte fell in.Sid jumped in to save him and drowned.

Im for including any of our past classmates Dick.  When I setup the site I used our graduation program to add the names.  We do have a couple of "guest" members who either contacted me or another classmate and ask to be included.  Most attended elementary with some of us or even as far as junior high.

I've moved Monte to the In Memory section and will post his obituary when it's available.

Our daughter Lindsay got married 8/1 so we gained a son-in-law and 2 beautiful  granddaughters, 11 & 6.  The weekend was perfect.  Then on 8/5 I tested positive for COVID-19!  Fortunately only one other person at the wedding tested positive and I had no contact with him so not sure where I picked it up since I always wear my mask.  I have been lucky to have a mild case, high fever for 36 hours, bad cough and headache.  Now it's like a bad summer cold. I'm stuck at home for another week and then off to do some camping around NE!

I remember Monte as we attended kindergarten together at Glenwood.  There were 3 of us, Monte, Gary Baer and myself.  Monte's dad worked for Carl Weber so they lived just across the field from us then we moved so we were at the west end of the section and the Anderson's were on the east end.  Since we moved we were then in another school district so I went to Riverdale instead of Glenwood.  He had 2 older sisters.

Ron Smith

Happy birthday to Dick!!! Hope Mimi is extra nice to you today.Also,remembering Rich Larson today on his birthday.

Ron Smith

Gale Epp sent me an e-mail about Monte's funeral.It will be next Friday Aug.21 at 10:00am at All Faith Funeral Home in Grand Island 2929 south Locust. Anyone from Kearney wanting to go could ride over with me.

Vicki,how could you have possibly remembered that Monte's dad worked for Carl Weber? That is amazing. My dad and uncle also worked for him at that time.Carl lived on 8th ave.across from Pioneer Park on 20th st.a block east of Bill Lynn. Monte's 2 older sisters were Connie and Bonnie along with sister Debbie. When his dad drowned,his mother was pregnant with another girl. They were neighbors to Marcene on 1st Ave when they moved back here.Monte was a prankster and I remember going to their house  in about 6th grade.Monte and I went down stairs and he called his sister Debbie to come down. He had peed in a 7up bottle which was dark green and asked her if she wanted a drink.She did. Every time I drink 7up I think of that.
