I received a message from Sheri Eatherton tonight asking for prayers for Dan Miller, her SO of 9 years. He was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and starts chemo treatment tomorrow. Please keep Dan and Sheri in your prayers!

Rest in peace Rick.

I used to see him in Hastings occasionally in the 80s as his wife was from there and I was friends with his father in law. He was on our Fireman baseball team in pony league along with Steve Eatherton. His visitation is 5:00 -6:00 pm this Sunday at St. James Catholic Church in Kearney. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend his funeral on Monday.

Our classmate Rich Larson died 41 years ago today Dec.6,1983. Thinking of him also today.

I hope you all were blessed this holiday season.
Do you believe 2025 is our 55th class reunion!

As I start the new year I reflect on our class, our classmates who made an impact on my life and those we have lost.

I hope you all have a healthy and prosperous new year!

Happy new year!

Hi Joann, You are definitely right on health and prosperity!

I have been thinking about Anna Sobotka and hoping she has a good birthday tomorrow.

Carol Dennis and I were both born at Good Samaritan on Christmas Day, That day, my Dad's car wouldn't start and Jacque Samway's Dad took time from their holiday to come over and get my folks off to the hospital!

This year, on Dec 23rd, I sat on my eyeglasses and broke the frame - so I am using my sunglasses for everything! I have long thought that I don't understand the "real" world, but now I am more in the dark than ever!

Alan, I always check the obituaries. I had to be the designated funeral attendee when I worked for attorneys years ago. I guess that's why I continue to check, habit and noticing I know more of those listed!

We used to get invited to weddings, then baby showers, high school/college graduations and now funerals. The times of our lives!

Frank, I know Danny made the comment that he's done planning reunions. I can help from a distance but otherwise I'm not sure anyone is heading things up!

Does anyone want a 55th reunion? If the Kearney group are tired of hosting do we want to have a reunion for the Lincoln/Omaha group? Private message me with your thoughts and include your email. Thank you!

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.

It sounds like there is some interest in having a 55th reunion.

If you would like to serve on the planning committee please get with Jeannie Anderson Stade or myself and we'll get a planning meeting scheduled. Please give some thought on what you want the reunion to look like.
Thank you!

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!
