--------INDIAN SUMMER 48--------

June 17, 2023

The picnic was great! The weather was perfect along with the food and friends! We had 55 attendees, 42 classmates and 13 guests. Unfortunately, there were 13 no shows or we would have had 68. Stu did a fabulous job once again! Think about it. Planning a meal for 68 people, the grocery list, the shopping, making the sauces, borrowing smokers, loading up the vehicle, coming early to get things going, cooking and timing the food, breaking down the smokers, cleaning up, packing up the supplies and smokers, loading the vehicles, getting home and unloading it all again and returning the smokers. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Thank you Stu. We are all unbelievably grateful for your expertise and enthusiasm for making this event happen for all of us!! We also need to thank Mike as well as he hung in there as Stu's right hand man the entire day!

Don Abbott came the farthest from Seattle, Washington and Don Travis came from Slatington, Pennsylvania.

Thanks to everyone that donated to the class! We collected $150 in the jug for future events! 

We have one more "INDIAN SUMMER" before our 50th reunion coming up in two years in 2025!! Plan ahead!!

Be well and stay healthy friends!

"INDIANS FOREVER"

Our class Holiday get together this year at Whiskey River Pub and Grill on River St was a huge success with 40 classmates, spouses and friends attending. 

Jan Giovati's famous holiday lunch was also a fabulous time. Jan certainly out does herself and creates a wonderful experience for our lady indians! Every year we get a few more lady indians to join in the fun. Ellen Schindler, Nancy Sengle and Vickie Marzouk were the newbies this year making the luncheon total 22.  Our holiday fund raiser raised $215 and 10 bags of groceries! I was overwhelmed with the donations! We even had donations from classmates that didn't attend the lunch at Jan's. Thanks fellas!

 --------- Indian Summer 47 -------

We had a great time on Saturday June 18th 2022 for "Indian Summer 47" at the Acorn Lodge In Durand Eastman Park. I think this year's picnic was the best attended reunion/picnic we have had thus far.

The food was great: pulled chicken sliders on King’s Hawaiian rolls and maple glazed salmon. Thanks to Stu Chait for bringing a portable restaurant and doing all the work cooking the main course. The dishes that classmates bought were also above and beyond. Thanks to y'all!

IN MEMORY

"Death can show us the way, for when we know and understand completely that our time on this Earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing when it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had.
Life is so fragile; EVERY DAY IS A GIFT . . ."
