The
Memorial Prayer Service listed from our class the following: Arriaga,
Juan Calzada, Ema Garza, Gustavo Judge, Milton Buster Mooney, Steve
Tellez, Danny Please notify me of deceased members of our class.
There was something for everyone to do and everything was so very
nice & well attended. Hats' off to the Reunion Committee: Nancy (Corbin)
Deviney, Sally Foster, Marilyn (Birchett) Moerbe, Rose Mary (Brooks)
Sheldon, & Cyndi (Chesser) Walker, for planning such a wonderful weekend
of activities.
The profits from the silent auction and left over from the weekend
activities benefited the Kleberg County Heritiage Foundation to help
furnish the newly restored Kingsvile Railroad Depot & grossed over
$7,000...very thoughtful for them to think to do this!!!
Many stayed to observe the big July 4th Centennial Parade with the
60's Decade having a processional of classic cars from our era. Our
representative in the parade was Bobbie (Beyer) Ryan, our Homecoming
Queen, rode in Bernie (Red) Klassen's 1966 red convertible Mustang.
Bernie is Mary Ann Klassen's dad and they used be neighbors to Bobbie
& her family. Also, I noticed Carl Korges riding with Spider Nix in
his '57 Chevy...he looked the part with his close-cut hairdo!!
Many from our class sang in the choir with Mrs. Millicent Wiley for
the dedication ceremony & ribbon cutting of the Kingsville Railroad
Depot. Overall we were well represented and had a grand old time celebrating
the first 100 years of Kingsville, Texas born on the 4th of July 1904.
We are planning on having our Class of 1969 40th Reunion in 2009 so
plan on attending. We will need your new email address or your new
home address to let you know our plans.
Please make contact with others from our class that you are in contact
with so we can find the majority and invite them. Many of our addresses
are invalid today so we need your help to make contact with old classmates.
For more information contact, Carol Gerwick: 361.595.5677 or carger@davlin.net
Hope to see you in Kingsville 2009."
