He will be dearly missed by many. A Private Celebration of Eddie’s Life will be held at the convenience of the family.

Scott
Bennett has recently faced some significant
health challenges including a stroke. He is on on a very long
path to recovery. I'm sure all his class mates wish him a
speedy recovery. To aid in that recovery, a GoFund me page
has been set up for Scott. Whatever you can spare will
be a big help. Here is the link to the GoFund me page for
Scott:
Louise
Botsford's husband, Neil has passed away. Many of you that
know Louise knew Neil. Some of you knew Neil as Don Fritz's
uncle.
A big Thank You goes out from the class to John Vandermark
for his generous contribution to The Flower Fund.
That brings our Flower Fund balance to
$792.99.
Gerry
Wormuth has made a significant donation to the Flower Fund.
His generous donation has allowed us to keep the Class'
$2,500 CD in tact without an early withdrawal penalty. We
were at a point that we could not honor this year's
Lester Award winners without cashing in the class of
'64 CD at SFCU. Incidentally, Gerry originally contributed
half of the money to allow us to acquire the CD in the first
place. Bill Alberta contributed the other half of the $2,500
endowment. Since then, Gerry has made several generous donations
to the Flower Fund to keep it afloat. Thank you Gerry!
The class has sent Mrs Lester a Mother's Day Bouquet. It
should be delivered to her Thursday or Friday. The card
reads," From all of your kids in the class of 1964".
We
have learned that Charlie White passed away on March 13. He
has already been buried in St. Paul’s Cemetery, Hancock, NY.
While
at the class reunion Sept. 20, 2024, Dan Stormer made a nice
contribution to the HCS1964 Flower Fund. Thank you Dan!
Rolland
Bojo’s wife, Sally Ann has passed away. Her viewing is Oct.
3 at the Henderson Biedekapp Funeral Home in Hancock.
Viewing is from 2pm-4pm and 6pm-8pm. Funeral services will
be on Friday, October 4th, 2024 at 11am at the East Branch
Community Church.
The
60th Reunion for the Class of 64 will be held at the
Starlight Inn, 298 Starlight Lake Road, Starlight, Pa on
Friday, September 20, from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
Tom
Kulezas band, The Lantern's will be playing at the
Nurnberger Bierhaus, 2136 Lake Ariel Highway, Route 191, on
Sunday, June 9, 2024, from 4-7 pm. Don't miss him!
Louise
Worzel Botsford is back in Lourdes Hospital again. This time
she managed to break some ribs and gain an infection.
We all wish Louise a speedy recovery. 
Punki
Makowski has made a generous donation to The Flower Fund.
Murmurs
and rumors of our 60th reunion are taking shape. Led by Lee
Woodmansee, Bill Alberta and a group of classmates it looks
like our 60th reunion for the class of '64 will take place
in September at The Starlight Inn. Details will be announced
later. If anyone has questions they can contact Lee
directly.
The
class of '64 sent a bouquet of flowers to Mrs. Lester for
Mother's Day. 
We
have learned from Dale Whitmore that Sue Baker Davis died in
Florida, where she lived, on February 26, 2024. We are not
aware of any funeral arrangements. I'm sure we all give our
condolences to Sue's family and remember her fondly has one
of the class of'64. The picture to the left was taken during
the Washington Class trip. This is the last address we have
for Sue if anyone would like to send a card of condolence;
Edward
A. “Eddie” Thiele, 77, passed away after a brief
illness on Saturday, January 13, 2024.
