Also … if you want to take the Sat. afternoon stroll through Calvert, let me know. I’m kind of excited about that. I’m taking my girls and showing them where my young mind was formed.

Catching up with folks
Hi all …
I exchanged e-mails with Doug Kummer. (Well, actually, his wife, Chris.
They are planning to attend the reunion.)
Meantime, though, some of you may know this. Doug’s little girl, Colleen, (I think she’s 12-13 years old and certainly a cute kid) last spring was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.
She’s been through 30 treatments of radiation and a round of chemo and has about a year left of those treatments. She will be at risk for other cancers throughout life with the current diagnosis.
You can read about Colleen at www.caringbridge.org/visit/the_bean
Chris keeps the blog updated almost daily. (I make my living these days writing, but that’s some truly passionate writing.) The entry for Aug. 5 is particularly heady. If you’ve got kids, I suggest you read it. I about cried, and then went gave each of my daughters a kiss and hug.
Friends and family have been supportive, but I think they need more; if nothing else, a prayer and your thoughts. If you want to do more, there are benefit funds set up at KeyBank and FirstMerit.
If you’d like to reach Doug directly, his e-mail is dccb@bex.net.
Anyway, go kiss and hug your kids. That’s what I’m going to do.

CHS visit
I heard back from Tony Mass. We’re set to visit Calvert at 1 p.m. on Sat., Sept. 16.
Let me know if you’re interested, so we have an idea how many people might be there.

CHS visit
I’ve been away from the computer for a few days, so I’m playing a bit of catch-up on the blogging. (That Amy Clouse Recker’s going to start cracking the whip on me.)
Anyway … I exchanged e-mails with Tony Mass. He’s out til next week, but hopefully he’ll get back to me. I’m really hoping to set up some sort of tour/visit of Calvert.
I don’t know about anybody else, I haven’t stepped foot in ol’ CHS since graduation day.
I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Catching up with folks
I got an e-mail from Lesa (Riser) Pellittieri.
Sounds like she’s doing well these days. She’s an accountant in the Cleveland area. Married, no children, “just dogs,” and lives in Amherst — a long Par 5 from my home in Vermilion.
Lesa … hope you can make it to the reunion.
