I will be in Bedford on Oct 20th and will be having lunch with Joanie and Jim. Please consider joining us at Pappa's on Washington Avenue at 11:30 AM. Let Joanie or myself know if you will be there so we'll know how many tables to push together!
It was a great day... to see some that could not make it before. We need to pick a Saturday each month to meet and have lunch for those who can so we can all keep in touch.
LUNCH DATE NOVEMBER 17, AT 11:30 AT RUSTY RESTURANT. BRING A COUPLE CAN GOODS FOR A FOOD BASKET FOR THANKSGIVING BASKET. CALL AND REMIND THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE WEB SITE OR COMPUTER.
Joanie just contacted me and said that she just recieved word that they had just found Donnie Wykoff in in room on the floor, he lives alone in ST. Louis. She said they didn't think he would make it long enough for the family to get there. She wanted everyone that would keep him in your prayers.
The luncheon has been cancelled due to so many activities going on only a couple of girls thought they might be able to meet. So for November it will be cancelled. Please pass the word.
I really hated to hear the sad news about Donnie. We used to have such a great time together. Sounds as if his life was pretty tough. I'll be thinking of him and his family.
I just learned that Rick Bailey has been diagnosed with cancer. I'm sure he would appreciate words of encouragement - especially from those of who have faced the same challenge.
Hi everyone, I think I'm enrolled in the blog at this point. I'll give it a go at any rate. Just a note to all wishing you a Merry Christmas. Both my wife and I have had rounds with cancer. Like Steve, I would get a message to Rick if I had an address; I would like to lend support. So long for now. Am ready to see all of you at lunch, etc. Would love to chat with you. Kindest regards. Bill Brock
I can't believe I finally am posted to this blog! As some of you know, Donnie called me a couple of weeks before he died. I did not get back to him from a voice mail and am heartsick that I could have listened and been a friend to him again after all these years, and because I was so "busy" I failed to get back to him in time. Just a note to Steve Clark: one of the last mental impressions I have of the two of us is an evening at Papaw Graham's; we were trying to tune an old guitar and sing. What a howl that must have been for your patient, loving grandparents. And Pearl just smiled and encouraged us. Also, I remember the WWII vintage jeep that Cleetus kept running for us and those close calls with that wild machine in the ditches and ravines in Elmer's woods. It's a wonder we made it. I don't think we had a worry in the world in those days. (I'm sure we did; they just vaporized as did the time that passed with them.) I was saddened to hear of your Mom's recent passing. She and Thelma were two of my favorite people. I would love to sit down with any and all to chat, laugh, and remember. Love and kindest regards, Bill Brock
While I'm on a roll here. I want to thank all who sent Christmas cards. We have had a hectic couple of weeks. My sister, Leeann, had bariatric surgery yesterday, (Friday) at St. Vincent's (Carmel). She came through fine although she has a long road ahead. She had the gastric bypass (laproscopic) and her "meals" will consist of a tablespoon of ice chips and/or powdered milk mixed with whole milk (Yummy) Anyway, she needs your prayers and healing thoughts. Kindest regards, Bill
I had an informative conversation with Rick Bailey (thanks Joanie) he has prostate cancer. The treatment is radiation only at present. He has a positive outlook and physicians expect full recovery all very good news. I am going to try to get myself in position to see him before summer. Best to all of you.

I'm sad to report that Twila's Dad passed away Sunday, April 20th. Twila's sister, Teresa, is very ill. Please include Twila in your thoughts and prayers.
A good time was had by all at the July 26th luncheon and it was great to again see some who hadn't been to any of the others come to this one. New faces included Vickie Valdez, Debbie Williamson, Twila Terrell, Sonja Stevens, Bill Ray, John Fish and Dexter Roberts. By my count 24 different folks have shown up at the three luncheons we've had. I think it's great we've been able to get this many folks together--try and join us at the next one at a date yet to be determined.

Hello Everyone, I appreciate this site so I can see what is happening with everyone I know that we are all so very busy with our own lives. I just returned from a small vacation in the North West; Oregon and Washinton. It was great, the weather cooperated and everyone I set out to see, I was able to visit. I was having some health problems again, and I have been diagnosed by four well known medical doctor's at Southwest Medical School, that I have blood and bone cancer. I felt bad for a short time, and completed every test nd medical exam required. Funny, I don't feel like a dead woman, nor do I feel like I am dying. Maybe because I have endured so much before, I am toned up to the pain. OH well, please keep me in your prayers. Love and God be with each and everyone of you. Vicki Valdez-Allen
You hang in there girl. Doctors are great for diagnosis and treatments their prognosis are merely a statistical guess. It’s important to follow their advice and equally important that you “drive the truck”. By that I mean research, acceptance, lifestyle changes and prayer are as important.
My doctor and longtime friend refers to me as “the man who came back from the dead twice”. Today they can find nothing wrong with me (physically that is).
It is what it is but a strong mind and strong faith can make a world of difference (I remember you possess those). You are first in our prayers.
Warren Crawford's mother passed away last Friday. If you would like to send condolences, Warren's contact info can be found on the Class of 1965 website.

Friends may call from 4 to 8 p.m. on Monday at the mortuary.
TOM WYKOFF BROTHER TO ROGER WYKOFF AND UNCLE TO JOANIE FULLER MITCHELL DIED TODAY OF LUNG CANCER . HE PASSED AWAY IN INDIANAPOLIS AND THE SERVICE WILL BE GRAVE SIDE SERVICE AT 10:00 FRIDAY AT GREEN HILL CEM.
MITCHELL — Raymond “Buddy” Paledino left us on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2009. He left behind family and friends broken hearted and lost. To his wife and children, Cathie, Alycia, and Sam Paledino, he was fearless and indomitable. To us, he was bigger than this life. We will never see his like again. We love him much.
He was born April 1, 1947, in Alabama, to Joe and Jane Paledino. His parents, Joe and Ruby Paledino, preceded him in death. Left behind are sisters, Sally Covey Burton and husband Jack of Orleans, Cathy Paledino Horner and husband John of Indianapolis, and one brother Joey Paledino and his companion Regina Chapman of Bedford.
Buddy had earned Eagle Scout distinction in high school, he graduated from Shawswick High School in 1965. As a young man, he served two tours in the Vietnam War. He was a tool & die maker at GM Powertrain in Bedford, retiring in 2006. He was a member of UAW Local No. 440, and member of the Bedford Boat & Sportsman Club.
Family and friends may share Buddy stories at 9 a.m. on Nov. 10 at the Bedford Boat Club.
Arrangements are under the direction of Cresthaven Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Planned Parenthood of Indiana, 717 Lincoln Ave. Bedford, IN 47421.
Well the weekend is over and we have even more memories. It was fun from beginning to end, everything went smooth I thought. So good to see each one and catch up. Hopefully the girls will be able to get together once a month for dinner or whatever. Just to keep connected. Be safe and God Bless you all.
I think it was Thomas Campbell who said; :"To live on in the hearts of others is not to die". Just got the email re Steve Hignite he is in my thoughts though it seems too many of these types of emails lately. My wish is for Steve's challenge to become everything he and his family pray for it to be.
With age I suspect we must become accustomed to the frequency of such physical weakening s. The metamorphic wonder of the soul is eternal (I had to paraphrase that and I can't remember who said it).
I still want to wish everyone the very best of holidays and an absolutely awesome 2012
