Wildcats Class of 1968

LATEST GATHERING NEWS 

Gathering for Lunch at Chicken on the Run:  NOON at MVP in Silverton (Plainfield Road) on Monday June 23^rd.  Although the temperatures outside were hot (mid 90s), we were all cool inside at MVP for our occasional classmate luncheon on Monday June 23^rd.  We had thirteen classmates and two spouses in attendance.  Just for your enjoyment, I am including three group photos thanks to our regular photographer (Doug Erbele).  Next time, we will attempt to remember to have one of the ladies take a picture of the guys, so that all the guys will be included in one photo.  The guys in attendance (1^st photo below going L-R) were Ron Asbury, Alan Lord, Mike Hammer, Steve Crowe and Gary Hoffman.  Ron took the second photo and Doug is standing to the right.  In the third photo, (again going L-R) is Jim Edrington (spouse of Linda King-Edrington), Linda King-Edrington, Linda (Vance) Buken, Ozzie (Greenberg) Foreman, Mary Jo (Langhorst) Davis, Martha Turner (spouse of Alan Lord), Carol (Morin) Toms, Becky (Prather) Herman, and Elaine Booso.  We were pleased to see so many classmates because it improved the discussions about the possible class field trips.

Cincinnati History Bus Tour: We have scheduled a private tour for our group on Monday August 25^th from 10 a.m. until about noon. The website for the tour is:  Cincy Tour Bus in Cincinnati, Ohio (www.cincytourbus.com) so you can look at the information yourself. Please refer to "Emails from Alan, 7.1.25 Special Event" on the menu bar for the details.

CONDOLENCES

We extend our deepest condolences to Mike Sutterfield and family.  Mike let us know that Marie (Menke) Sutterfield passed away early Wednesday January 15, 2025.  Visitation is at the Don Catchen Funeral Home on Tuesday January 21, 2025 from 10-12 with services to follow immediately and burial at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery North.  You can read Alan's latest email for an address to reach out to Mike or Maries' family.    Marie's obituary link. 

VISIT TO RAPTOR INC.

We have been discussing a visit to RAPTOR INC.  You can visit their website at: https://www.raptorinc.org/. Read Alan's latest email on the left menu bar for more information. This sounds like a fun activity.  If you have any suggestions for activities, please let us know.

WE'RE AD FREE!!

This made my day.  Thanks to everyone who gave their opinion, we listened and we are finally ad free! You also asked if there was a way to put a shortcut on your smart phone.  Why.... yes there is.  And it's not that hard.  Check this link if you want to add a shortcut to your phone.  

WEBSITE IMPROVEMENTS

We recognize that our “old” website address (which will still work) of https://www.classcreator.com/Deer-Park-Ohio-1968/, was difficult to remember, long and definitely “clunky.”  At our last class gathering at Chicken on the Run (11/9) the group agreed to change our website address.  It's dphs68.com
