Happy birthday to Cindy Wilson Rasmussen. It's good to have birthdays. Studies have shown that people who have more birthdays actually live longer. I baked you a cake but like last year I ate it.

Happy birthday Cindy R.  Danny one of my brothers in-law rode to Sturges. We were concerned cuz last year he had a liver transplant. Still having problems. Will take 30-40 pills a day for the rest of his life.  Again glad that you had a great time.  Marcene

Thinking of our classmates Rich Larson and Dick Garrelts on their birthdays.They both would have reached the magic number of 70 today.As Dave Carpenter would say "two of the most devious minds to ever walk the halls of KHS". Gone but never forgotten.

I was so proud of my home town for hosting the Nebraska Vietnam veterans reunion. They brought in the healing wall, I hope you were able to get out to Patriot Park to see it.
I saw Barb Jacobitz at Younes convention center. Suzy Fredricks Weister and her hubby came too for a little while. Julie Hunt Schmidt co-hosted the ladies lunch and did a great job.
If you were a veteran during that time period please plan on attending a future reunion. Dan Cavenee didn't make it! What's up with that?

Sorry Joann I was unable to make it to the Nebraska Vietnam Gathering in Kearney. I had to take care of some issue. Missed seeing the Wall of Heros . Later DC .

Joann Stengel (Tumbleson)

Dan, sorry you couldn't make it. You would have had fun. 3 nights of great bands. Thursday was Blackberry Winter, Friday was Taxi Driver and Saturday was Smoke Ring.
Wayne Garrelts and his wife were there. Didn't know he served.
Virginia Giffin Kearney was a major winner on Sunday during the raffle drawings. The Tumblesons won nothing.
All in all it was a great weekend. The Kearney committee worked hard and it showed by the results. Kearney as a whole came out and helped set up the wall as well as helped tear down. Thank you Kearney!

We drove to Kearney, picked up my mom & went to see the traveling wall. It was a solemn feeling to see all the names. I am trying to collect all the information I can & send to Washington for a remembrance of my brother. Trying to find his senior picture. The form from the school wanted his email. If votes pc weren't in existence then.

Welcome back to the website Terry Rayback!  You and Jerry Cummings have had interesting, adventure filled lives since graduation.  Hopefully you and Kathy will make it back to our next reunion.  Happy birthday to everyone reaching our magical 70!  It's not too bad!  Thanks Ron for posting a tribute to Rich and Dick.  They and all the others we have lost are missed.  We are off on another camping adventure, Ravenna's Buffalo County Lake.  Not far from home but camping with 4 other friends/family.  Should be a fun weekend!  Forum is pretty quiet these days!  Another thing Dick used to do. He loved to try to get a reaction to his posts and sometimes he did!  Have a great weekend.  GBR!

Hi, I just spent 7 hours at the final outside blues festival of my summer.  Yesterday it was over 90, breaking records.  Today I had to get out a stocking cap, it rained and didn't get much over 50.  I was proud of myself at 70, making it the whole show.  Josh Hoyer closed it out.  He's a Lincoln guy.  More soul than blues.  

Dick would smile...I'm wearing my flannel shirt.

Enjoyed the cooler weather yesterday and thankful for some rain.  Dick would be saying it is time to think about a weiner roast or Octoberfest.  Miss Him.

I think Dick would be saying after the loss Saturday that our taxes will be going up with the Husksters loss!

Ron Smith

You read my mind Joann. He would say that.

In fairness to Frost we have had only a few great players the last several years. The years when everyone wanted to play for Nebraska has long been gone.It makes it hard to get the best recruits.  No matter how great a coaching staff you have if you don't have great team personnel you aren't going to be a great team.The coaches don't miss field goals, shank punts,tackle,block,throw the ball, run the ball,fumble,etc. When we went to the Big 10 the rivalrys and tradition went too.Unfortunately,college football is all about the money and it is ruining the sport. That is why Southern Cal and UCLA are coming to the Big 10. Imagine those fans going to Rutgers or Penn State to watch a game. Just my thought.

Karolyn Krumland (Koogler)

Hello...happy fall
Just wonder what allyou Bronco fans think about Russell joining you🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

09/12/22 11:12 PM #9845    

 

Ron Smith

Karolyn,it just doesn't look right with him not wearing a Seattle uniform. Geno played well enough to get the W tonight for you.  Can't blame Russell going to Denver and making $245 million for 5 years. I am pretty sure I never made $49 million in any year of my working career. Xavier is also a big Seahawks  and Mariners fan after living out there.He is back in Nebraska now and lives in Hastings.

            Yeah classmates for the posts on the forum !!!!

Terry Rayback

Thanks for the Birthday wishes!   Reaching 70 is better than the alternative, however it is really difficult to claim "I'm not old" when the number is 70!  of course it is a nice pairing to gradulation year huh.    Life in San Diego is expensive but good.  I volunteer as a Docent on the USS Midway, so if you are heading this way let me know and I can get you some free tickets.   I love doing the presentations of how to launch and recover planes on an aircraft carrier. 

 I miss a lot of the things about Nebraska life and of course the people.  California is mostly loony toons these days.

Terry...

Nice to hear from you on the forum.I wonder if Bob Manning is still in San Diego?  Bob and Rich Larson lived together after their navy days for awhile. Rich came back to Kearney in about 1979 and bought his parents car and we drove it back to San Diego.They had a plane crash at the airport weeks before that in San Diego and there were body parts found on the runway. I asked Rich what it would cost to fly back to Nebraska. With Rich's quick wit he told me just an arm and a leg.

I looked at Kathy's profile and saw the pictures she had posted. What a great looking family you have. You married your high school sweetheart and you are still together. I asked one of our classmates for a date in high school and she politely said no and I said it's because I am too short and she said yes and I said I am taller than a lot of people and she said yes,but most of them are still in 3rd grade. I wasn't the shortest in our class. I towered over Kevin Hendrickson by at least a quarter of an inch.

Anna had a great idea about sending out a post for Dick. Dick always liked to hear about me and my dad's beaten and battered Husker flag. He must have gotten it in 1970, because it looks about that old, complete with notes he made with magic marker on it. Looks ok from the street, as long as you don't get too close to it. Anyway,Dick liked to hear about my tradition of running the flag around the front tree after a Husker win. And I did that after the ND game! I did it once at his farm too, when we had a mini out there one fall.A Good memory! Will I get to run around the tree a couple more times?

Time for Frank and Gary to post.....
