The Zoom session went very well and was very, very enjoyable!

It lasted over an hour and a half, and during that time the group discussed many topics, including:

·         Confusion about how to reply to the greeting, “How are you?”

·         Everyone was surprised and happy to see Ҫağlar!

·         ICE agents in Minneapolis.

·         Lots of discussion about cruises and travel.

·         This website, www.hhs19963.org, is being revised.

·         Everyone was sad about the passing of John Mason.

·         Our classmates Mary Jo (Ridgeway) ??? and Van Bailey are in Assisted Living homes. They’re doing “okay,” but have trouble remembering things, like recognizing who is talking to them.

·         PBS’s recent article on Fort Wayne and discussions on current-day Huntington and Roanoke.

·         Lots and lots of discussions of Indiana college teams’ sports.

·         Anne’s favorite chainsaw.

·         We had the youngest and oldest classmates on the Zoom session: Bill (Jan 2946) and Paul (Dec 1948),

·         Ҫağlar told us how she came to Huntington from Turkey, and how much she enjoyed living there.

·         Anne told us of the time a wild turkey flew into the front grill of her car,

·         Dave described how he captured an iguana that fell from a tree near his home, and how many Floridians capture iguanas and eat them.

·         People asked if anyone had heard from Carol (Paoletto) McNeal, and no one had.

·         Bill mentioned that he has been in close contact over the Internet with Bill Priddy, and hopes he will be on the next Zoom e-Reunion.

I’m sure everyone in the session will agree with me when I say I now know these fellow classmates better than I ever thought I would. It was very inspiring.

The 2Q2026 Zoom e-Reunion is now scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, beginning at 9 p.m. EDT (Huntington) time.  I will send three official invitations to this meeting: one a month, one a week, and one a day before the meeting.

These invitations/reminders will have the details of how to join the Zoom meeting, and will be sent from my billsmart1111@gmail.com email account, not my webmaster@hhs1963.org email account, so it will be accepted by all email platforms.

I hope we will get more participants in June, so mark this down on all your calendars!

Your former classmate and forever friend,

Bill Smart
