GRADUATES OF THE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL CLASS of 1966 95 Known To Be Deceased
They came this way but once. Yet, they touched our lives in many ways while they were here. We shall remain eternally grateful for their friendship and for the influence each bestowed upon us.
As with any of our mail outs, there have been a number of letters bouncing back to me with a new address, and others listed as “addressee unknown“ or “unable to forward”. Those that noted a new address (about a dozen) were/are re-sent a letter, while the others sit in my folder.
I wanted to list some of the “unknowns” hoping one of you might know where these folks are, or maybe know someone else who could provide a contact lead. Here are those classmate names:
Attention: our August 2020 gathering has been CANCELLED
a RESCHEDULED Reunion Event will be held....
Saturday August 28th, 2021
Charles Knaeble (Crystall) VFW Post #494
5222 Bass Lake Road, Crystall, MN Start time: 4 PM
Though uncertainties surrounding COVID-19 forced cancelation of this year's event, it has been rescheduled for August 2021 at the Crystal VFW Post #494. Please adjust your plans, spread the word, and invite a classmate. Guests always welcome.
I apologize for being late on this posting and update on the Johnsons. I have been out of town for the last 3 weeks. Mike called me a couple times in early June to let me know he was cleared to go home to continue his rehab after 6 Covid-19 tests all coming back negative. I think all parties concerned felt it would be safer to rehab from home. So I'm glad to say Mike and Kathy Johnson are both now home in Maple Grove. I wish them both a speedy and full recovery. I would like to be the first to wish them a Happy Anniversary. Their 53rd Anniversary is July 8th.

Update: Wednesday April 1st, 2020 I spoke with Michael Johnson yesterday. He said to say HI to the Class of '66 and thank them for all the good wishes and prayers. He and Kathy are in lockdown and isolated from family and friends. Recovering and going through rehab from the accident. This will go on through June and possibly into July or August. He believes he and Kathy will recover. I pray that they have a full recovery. I can't for the life of me even imagine what they're going through In this difficult time we are all in. Their three sons aren't allowed to visit them and the only way they can see their parents is through the window outside their rooms. I asked Mike if they can receive any cards from the outside. He said that their sons can drop things at the front door of the building where they're at for them but their sons are not allowed to enter. So if there's any classmates, friends or family out there who would like to send a card or two. Cards can be sent to their Maple Grove address. Their sons will pick them up and deliver them. I could sense through the cracks in Mike's voice that this is a very difficult time for both of them and I do pray that they recover fully. Stay safe and we'll get through this difficult time together.

2018 reunion gathering / 70th birthday party.
Hi all......
I have confirmed an arrangement with the Crystal VFW to have our reunion gathering / 70th birthday party there on
SATURDAY, August 25th, 2018.
The near unanimous preference of a Saturday versus Friday gathering was the basis for the switch. We will work with the club to see about having a band in the house that Saturday.
Our next decision is about what time span to select for the gathering that day. I'm told the room will be ours for the day, so we need to consider a start time. I thought about a 4 - 11 time frame that would allow for early dining (for those wishing to do so), as well as an earlier end point for those who no longer favor late nights. Perhaps we should meet once more in October to settle this, then full scale promotion can begin.

The Altamont Free Concert is held at the Altamont Speedway in northern California. Hosted by the Rolling Stones, it is an attempt at a "Woodstock West" and is best known for the uproar of violence that occurred. It is viewed by many as the "end of the sixties."
Daydreaming out the classroom window on rainy days was probably the reason my report cards weren't in my favor. It didn't matter what year Columbus discovered America. What truly mattered was that it that very year of 1964, John, Paul, George, and Ringo discovered America.
I was, however, keenly interested in Lewis and Clark. Perhaps it was because the TV program "Bucky Beaver" made their history so interesting. We used to watch Bucky in school. The teacher would wheel in the TV on a tall stand, plug it in, and away we'd go into PBS history. Click here for more...
Wiesenberg-Neiman, Judith Rose (Sugarplum) 5/24/48 to 4/13/15 Judy is survived by her mother, Eva Wiesenberg, her mother-in-law, Dolores Neiman, her husband and daughters, Bill, Becky, and Maurine, and granddaughter, Emma Dryer Neiman, and step-grand-daughter, Frieda Kenyon Brown, and brother, Michael Wiesen-berg, as well as a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws. Judy was a woman whose inner and outer beauty were singular in this world.
She lavished love upon others, and that love was returned many times over. Judy's capacity to love provided her with the skills to be a beloved therapist for 27 years for hundreds of grateful and healing patients at the Aspen/ Allina Clinic in Bloomington. Judy's greatest joy and love in this world was for her family and friends. With her husband, Bill, Judy raised twin girls, Becky and Maurine (fraternal twins), whose inner and outer beauty as well as their accomplish-ments reflect their mother. Mother and daughters were the best and most intimate of friends. Bill and Judy were married 46 years. There were challenges, but Judy and Bill had a vibrant, loving, ever-growing relation-ship. Indeed, the last six years were so strong and vital that Judy and Bill often joked about the first 40 being the toughest. What best captures Judy's core/life affirming spirit was her response to her pancreatic cancer. Despite the discomfort, pain, and occasional hospitali-zations during this period, Judy told her best friend, Nancy, that this was one of the happiest times in her life because she had never been so able to give and receive love. And love poured in-from family, friends, doctors, nurses, and many others who crossed Judy's path during these months of challenges, great and small. Minnesota Oncology and the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute and the Abbott-Northwestern-Hospital as well as Allina Home Health Care nurses were kind, supportive, and skilled beyond words. Memorials should be directed, in Judy's name, to: Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, Abbott-Northwestern Hospital Foundation, 800 E. 28th St., 16509, Mpls, MN 55407. There is a gaping pit in the hearts of those who knew and loved Judy, a hole that cannot be filled. We have accepted that space and have pledged together to internalize both Judy's love for others, her commitment to self-develop-ment and growth, and her embrace of the present, all to fully live the balance of our lives.

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back -- wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? "Ma'am," the officer replies, you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two miles an hour! "The old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time, "the officer asks. Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119......... for more jokes click here
