Kathi,  Good idea for a card shower.  We only have 4 cards on hand.  Looks like we'll have to go to town to get more cards - a lot more cards !!

Danny,  There won't be any fans in the stands. Does this mean I have to find somebody who gets the Big 10 Channel? That's probably not a problem.  The problem is getting somebody to invite me over. 

To those who ask about #2 and the Oregon fires; Terry tells me he is out of immediate danger- for the time being.  The Archie Creek Fire is only a few miles away, and is 15% contained.  He says Thanks for your prayers and concern.

Sincere Condolences to Painer on the passing of his mother, Eileen.  Painer has become a welcome part of our mini gatherings and a friend of the Class of 70. His mother has touched the lives of some of our classmates who chose the nursing profession. May her family find peace through faith and fond memories.

A very happy birthday to Pam Chism Miller!!!

Frank Schickedanz

Marcene  -  Thanks for asking  -  My knee is actually Really Good -  I am playing golf (if you can call it that)  -  I've scheduled my Big Ski Trip for next March (my Doctor said I could be skiing by March), hopefully that won't be my only ski trip - My Boys and their Wives will be participating.  We have been to Colorado and hiked around (a little) so I am back to being active. 

To All  -  Do we have a date yet for the 50th Reunion  ???  Just curious  -  Better go to Work  -  Talk to you later.  By The Way -  BRONCOS WON  -  HALLELUJAH  -  just in case you weren't watching last night.

Happy birthday to Dave "Lefty" Carpenter!!! Still one of the most devious to ever walk the halls of KHS.

Glad to see your Broncos win a game Frank.We will see if your Yankees can beat Tampa Bay in the playoffs.2-8 against them in the regular season.

Frank Schickedanz

Tiger  -  Good Start for the Yanks  -  hope they can keep it up  -  I know that the Rays had their Number during the Regular Season (if you can call it that).  I watched part of the game talking to Garrelts #2 - he's sort of a Yankee Fan  -  he switched to the Dodgers because of Sandy Koufax (because he was left handed pitcher)  -  I went to sleep in the 8th Inning -  woke up and backed the game up so I could see the end  -  Nice Surprise in the 9th  -  Grand Slam.  Better go to work  -  GO BRONCOS -  talk to you later.

Happy birthday Schick...

It is also my sister's birthday,she is 50 today.Gee,we were already out of H.S.when she came along.

Your Bronx Bombers (Yankees) need to win tonight or your birthday won't be so happy.

Frank Schickedanz

Tiger  -  Thanks for the Birthday Wishes  -  You know  -  69 doesn't feel much different than 68.  We were in Northern Michigan to see the Fall Colors  -  first time we have ever been there.  If you haven't been during the Fall Season  -  Put it on your Bucket List  -  it's Friggin' Beautiful.  I'll try to figure out how to import some pictures onto my laptop and share them.  Unfortunately  -  My Yanks lost  -  what a shame. My BRONCOS Monday Night Game had to be postponed but I still wore all my Colors on the flight home and both of my Fantasy Teams Won.  "It's a Strange Strange World We Live In Master Jack"  -  Someone should make a Song out of those words.  Your Sister has a Great Birth Day  -  Just ask me.  Better go to Work.  Talk to you later.

     When you were in Northern Michigan looking at fall foliage did you hear anyone call you a "leaf peeper" or hear that used ?  I know in Maine they use that term for people looking at the leaves.  

      We have beautiful Fall foliage in Nebraska most years.  Going to the New England states in the Fall is on my bucket list !!!!!!!!

                I always enjoy your posts !!!!

Frank Schickedanz

Anna  -  If they used that term we didn't hear it  -  however  -  As we were driving down the road going  "OHHHHHH"  and  "AHHHHHH"   I'm sure the people behind us in traffic that were actually on the move either to go to work, trying to get to an appointment or going to lunch had a few choice words for Us Guys.  We rented Bikes  2  days  -  the first  day Regular Bikes and the 2nd Day  E-Bikes  (what a wonderful invention)  and we were on the Trails with other OHHHHHHers  &  AHHHHHers   and nobody was concerned how long it was taking us.   It seems like every State has it's own unique offering for Fall Colors and I have heard that New England is the Creme de Creme and if that is on your Bucket List  -  DO IT  -  I'm sure you won't be disappointed.  I could go on and on about several places for Fall Colors we have visited and have a few Facinating Stories about a couple of them  -  but it would take too long.  Bring it up at out  50th and as you know I can embellish them  (by the way  when is the 50th  -  Terry Garrelts says that Spring or Early Summer work best for them so they don't have to deal with the HEAT).  I better go to Work  -  that same old four letter word.  Talk to you later  -  GO BRONCOS.

 I talked to Dan Freese ( Rick's brother) today. He said Rick was in a nursing home from a stroke and had been there about a year. 

Dave Mills

Kathi Geiser (Wright) I hope you and your family are out of harms way from the Cameron Peak fire which is very close to Loveland with very high winds forecasted today. 

Kathi Geiser (Wright)

I am safe, but you're right, its hitting the foothills west of town,  and we can see flames from town.  Lots of friends evacuated.  The place I work for, Sylvan Dale Ranch, had to evacuate 70 horses!  My best friend has land up the Buckhorn that we spend lots of time at. It's probably gonna be scorched when we go back up.

We've had lots of smoke, ash, and bad air days.  Can't see the mountains for the smoke.  Yeah, it's bad.  

Thanks for checking.  Kathi

Happy Birthday Ron!!🎂  

Ron Smith

I read in the paper a few days ago that Jack Hurt passed at the age of 93.He was one of the nicest teachers we had in H.S. He taught typing,business law and accounting. The paper said his first teaching job was at Odessa High in 1958 as an English teacher. Rest in peace Mr.Hurt.

Thanks for the b-day wish Cindy.

Sue Wise (Divan)

I'm so sorry to hear about Rick's health.  I will say some prayers for him!  I read about Jack Hurt too.  I really enjoyed taking Bookkeeping from him.  He was one of the good ones and we were lucky to have several really great teachers.   I am getting ready to send out postcards for our 50+1 reunion.  Please update your proffile if you have moved in the last 5 years.  Reunion is set for August 27-28. 2021 and both nights will be at the Holiday Inn from 6:00 - 10:00.  I'm really hoping we will be able to get together by then.  Stay safe everyone!

Frank Schickedanz

Ron  -  Happy Belated Birthday  -  are you 69 or are you one of the younger ones ??  I figured out how to put a couple of the Michigan Fall Color pictures on my profile.  Sad to hear about Freese.  

Susie  -  August ???  it is what it is but if I would have known it was August I would have tried to stack the ballot box -  Maybe this Covid thing will be behind us  -  at least the non-stop negative political ads will be (hopefully).   Better go to work  -  I am still drawing a paycheck.  Talk to you later. GO BRONCOS

I got a text from Terry Garrelts (#2) with some sad news.  Dan Blanton's son, Ian, passed away on Sunday. All I know is that they found Ian in his apartment. Please keep Dan and his family in your prayers. If I learn any more details I post another message.

I talked with Seerly's mom, Barb the other day.  She is doing very well after her pelvis fracture and was in great spirits.

I remember Mr. Hurt well  . . . he was one of my favorite teachers at KHS.  Sounds like God blessed him with 93 years!   I hope I'm remembering this correctly but does anyone remember the adding machine room adjacent to his classroom.  There was one machine in there that if you divided 0 by 0 the adding machine would keep running until it ran out of tape. I don't know who did this but I think it happened several times. Mr Hurt was not amused.

Happy Belated Birthday, Ron.

Ron Smith

Happy birthday to you Vicki !!! You must be at least 40 by now.

Thanks for the info about Dan's son. So very sorry to hear that. Prayers for Dan and his family.

Jerry,is your conscience bothering you and you want to confess that it was you that divided 0 by 0 to keep the machine running?
