Ron likes to fish. They will be living between two
daughters so they will see a lot more of the grandchildren. As we know, you never retire from the
Lord’s work but we can retire from the message
planning and some of the counseling and hospital
visitation.
Not being able to see our grandchildren several
times a week would really upset my dear wife.
We have one daughter that only lives two houses
away so we see her two children a lot. The middle
daughter lives about 40 miles away in Denver,
Pa., so we see her two about once a week.
I am still looking for information on where Ron
Kramer is located. Dave Andrew noted, George
Patton had contact with Frank Torpey, but no
news came from George or Frank so I have nothing to report.
I understand the following members attended
the “George Patton Open”: Dave Andrew, Rick
Plewa, George Patton, and Sam Ray. I never got
a written report, but this is what I remember. If I
missed anyone I’m sorry.
As a side note to Ron Rhoads, I lost your phone
number. Please call/e-mail/write so I can get it.
To all the others, please contact me with news of
your life so I can pass it on to the others. Please
also remember in a few years we will be having
out 50th reunion and I would like to be able to
contact all surviving class members to try to get
them there.

By the time this is mailed, Augie will probably have returned from his retirement cruise to
the Caribbean and will be getting ready to take
on an Alaskan cruise. If so, send me info to pass
on to the rest of the class; maybe a picture or two.
Again with the benefits of writing these articles
over a period of several weeks: Augie plans on
attending our reunion in the fall, but wants more
info. All I know at this point is the date: Oct. 27.
I’m sure the school will be sending out more info
as the time gets closer.
Ron Miller let me know he’s looking forward
to the reunion and that he misses the ones we used
to have on our own. He and Jerry Johnston did
a bang up job of organizing them for all those
years. It’s just a shame the interest wasn’t there.
I heard from Ken Landis also, but that news
made it in time for the last Williamsonian. I also
heard from Ron Westbrook via e-mail. He, too,
has begun to wear the retirement hat. It appears
he and his wife are into making trips on their
Honda Goldwing. Ron plans on taking some consulting work just to keep himself busy.
That’s about it for now, here’s hoping all is well
with everyone and, hopefully, we’ll be seeing you
in October.

Gentlemen:
Hello to all of you. Hope you are well and enjoying this very warm summer. Received a couple
of updates that I would like to share with you.
From Tom Turnbaugh (tturnbaugh1@verizon.
net): “Just a short note to let you know I retired
from education. I work a few days a month for
the Pennsylvania Builders Association coordinating their Secondary and Post-Secondary Endorsement Programs. Takes me back to technical
education in schools across the state. I have been
very fortunate to have been in public education
and nearing social security with the hopes funding will be in place when I file next year. Recently
spoke with Joe Selgrade who just retired from a
CTC. I am healthy and still with Marianne. I live
in Lebanon, Pa.”

“Thanks to your editorials, I got in touch with
Fran Monahan. We spoke for an hour one evening
just trying to catch up on 44 years. It was great
hearing all about his life adventures. I’m sure we
will hook up sometime before the grass covers
over us. You mentioned an informal Shady Maple get-together later this year. Count me in, my
friend. I love that place although it’s getting more
expensive. Years ago, the furniture surrounding
the fireplace was an inspiration to my mother-inlaw. She loved that big couch so much she bought
one just like it for her home in Nottingham, Pa.
The delivery people were not very happy since
there was only one door it fit through! Well, Ed,
my honey-do list is growing by the minute, so
I’d better cut this short. Keep in touch and let
me know when the Shady Maple deal comes up.
Also, remember West Chester is not too far from
Wilmington, in case our paths cross!
Friends, as I had said in the last Williamsonian, I would like to see if those alumni living in
the area of the Shady Maple, Honey Brook, Pa.,
region are interested in a get-together for a great
lunch on a weekday in October — maybe Friday
the 19th or 26th? Send me an e-mail or call me, if
you think you can attend and which date is best.
I hope you get your Williamsonian before those
posted dates.
Take care and stay well, Ed

Hi guys,
As many of you may already know, on June 2,
2012, our classmate Atlee Rhinehart was honored
by the school with the Distinguished Alumnus
Award. I talked to the individual who nominated
Altee and found out he perceives Atlee as an individual that truly epitomizes what a Williamson
graduate is: hard working, diligent, honest, involved with his community, God-fearing, a good
family man, and any more good attributes you can
think of. Congratulations, Atlee, you deserve it.
