We have a fun meeting planned for Thursday, February 17th. At 10:30 we will meet at the Southwest Franklin County Historical Society 3378 Park Street, Suite B, Grove City, Ohio 43123 614-871-0081 which is housed in the old Huntington National Bank building on Park Street. After we have had a chance to tour the museum, we will meet at Planks On Broadway right next door in the old Endres, bar and grill. Hopefully, we can choose the date, time, and location of our next reunion and a class 80th birthday party. If you cannot make the meeting, please let us know your thoughts on whether you can or will attend a reunion next year and how you would like us to proceed.

On September 1, 2021 a group of about 20 classmates met at O'Charleys in Georgetown Square for lunch, socializing and some planning.  We are hampered by the unknown, but the general thinking was to have a combination 80th birthday party and a postponed 60th reunion next spring.  We are going to meet again on November 10, 2021 at O'Charleys at 12:00 noon, all are invited, please let one of us know if you are coming.  (no more free pie Wednesday)

 

WE EXPECT (HOPE) TO HAVE THE REUNION NEXT YEAR AROUND MID APRIL

We had a great turnout at the February 5th meeting.

     

 

REUNION LIKELY TO BE IS CANCELED

Plans for our 60th reunion are moving along.  It will be held Saturday, October 3, 2020 at the Elks Club, 2140 Sonora Dr, Grove City.  This is the same location as the last reunion.  Directions.

We had a planning and social meeting at 12:00 noon, on Wednesday, Feb 5, 2020 at O'Charleys restaurant 1650 Georgesville Square Dr, Columbus, OH 43228 just off Georgesville Rd in the Columbus Georgesville Square center.  Directions.

The 55th has come and gone

(click for Banquet)

As the younger folks might say "Reunion weekend was Way Cool"!!!

Friday night, 35 plus members attended the tailgate party and saw the Grove City High
School band put on a fabulous display.  They performed their famous Script Dawg for the faithfuls.

Saturday night, 95+  folks attended the banquet.  Our honorary class member and teacher Jim Lester gave a rousing talk reminding us that we were juniors when he began teaching.  Seems as how he thinks we prepared him for all of the things that can go wrong with students.  Seriously, Jim is a favorite of the class of 60 and has been an inspiration to all of us.  Mayor Ike Stage a classmate slightly behind our class gave a nice talk and proclaimed our entire class honorary citizens of Grove City - although there was some talk about paying taxes as well.  Again seriously we have been privileged to have Ike attend our festivities.  Ike has done great things for Grove City.

Sunday morning, about 35 stalwarts assembled at the Golden Corral for yet another couple of hours of visiting and story telling.  It was clear no one wanted to leave and a great time was had by all.
