Good evening, Classmates. I'm guilty of a dereliction of duty. Three relatives of classmates have passed away recently and I wasn't aware of the first at the time. Don Marchik, brother of Catherine Sloan, passed away on August 29th in Stanwood. The second was Leona Nation, sister of Irene (Reney) Falkner, who passed away on September 11th in Wyoming. Ron Belitz, father of Brenda Vacek, passed away today at Cedar Manor. Obituaries for Don and Leona can be found on Google, and I will post Ron's when it becomes available. His funeral will be at the Lutheran church in Tipton on Monday at 11:00, with visitation at 10. We send our sympathies to Catherine, Reney, and Brenda and their families.

Good morning, Classmates. Finally some good news! Mike Herring sent me these pictures of the 2 pavers at the Freedom Rock that our class decided to purchase in honor of: 1) our class; 2) two deceased veterans in our class. Mike checked with all families of deceased veterans, and these are the 2 who chose to commemorate their loved ones with pavers. The other 2 pictures are views of the greatly increased footprint, which includes an additional 175-200 pavers for future purchases and engraving. I'm sure more information will be forthcoming.

Thanks to the Freedom Rock Committee for the fantastic work they've done, and to Mike for suggesting this at our 50-year reunion. Oh...and let's not forget our classmates who voted to use our funds to honor the veterans. The class of '74 rocks!
