Jerry I am so sorry, it is a terrible thing. Even when we have the vaccines. Take care, thinking of you.

Jerry, this makes you the "poster-boy" for every reason to get the shots. I felt like I won the lottery when my name came up for the Publix vac.   

Get well and keep us posted Jack

Caryl Gardner (Broaderick)

Dear Jerry, I am so sorry that you have covid.  I have heard that the best defense against covid is the immunity a person has if they have had it.  I am praying that you feel better y and that you feel comfortable about coming to the roundup.  I can honestly say you were one of the people I was most looking forward to seeing 😊🐴😊🐴Caryl

Thank you Caryl, Vinny, Bill and others for your faithful leadership of the HHS Class of 1964 and, in particular, your planning and preparation for the upcoming Roundup.

Unfortunately Carol and I will not be attending.  We have had plans for nearly a year to travel out West and the Roundup date falls squarely in the middle of them.  Those plans just have too many parts, including confirmed reservations, to change.

I hope we will be able to attend the next one.

Meanwhile, we had a lovely visit last Sunday with Suzie Bopp Lovette at her pretty home in Charlotte.  She is getting ready to move to St. Augustine, and one of her sons, Shawn, was there with his wife Lala, helping her sort-through and pack-up.  (Suzie makes a great peach cobbler!) 

Suzie, Carol, and I keep in touch via an on-line Bible Study on Sunday mornings.  (It is open to all.)

We will miss seeing everyone!  Let us know when you are ready to round-up in Austin. 

Regards,

Paul

We made our reservations for the Round-up today, and I am looking forward to seeing some new "old" faces I haven"t seen in years!  I've attended the ones in Ormond and Port Orange and we always have a great time and I'm sure this one will be the same.  Thank you Caryl and Bill for putting this ts ogether, and to Artie and Caryl for opening their home up to all of us!  Thanks to Vinny and Nancy also, for keeping this website active so that we may all reconnect.

Paul, if you want one in Austin, just get it going and we"ll be there!  I think it's a testament to our good times at Hialeah that so many people are willing to travel to places like Miami, Ormond Beach, Destin and now to Atlanta, just to see old friends.  I'm sure a visit to Austin would be great now that we're all retired.

Nancy Lundblom (Blizzard)

Obviously, typing wasn't one of my better subjects at Hialeah...

Genevieve "Dev" Perkis (Steffen)

Hi '64 TBreds!  Sure wish I could attend. Sounds like it's going to be an awesome time getting together with the great Class of '64!  I will be traveling for the dates so will miss it this year. Hopefully for next year I can make it as it seems more and more classmates want to get together. 

Have FUN!!!

John Givens

Please sign me and my wife (John and Donna Givens) up for the Atlanta Roundup.  Due to prior commitments we will only stay for a few hours at the restaurant but looking forward to the time we will have.  

Nancy Lundblom (Blizzard)

I'm so excited to see the great turn out for the Georgia Round-Up!!  I dislocated my shoulder 3 weeks ago and will see the doctor tomorrow to see if surgery is required.  I am hoping it won't interfere with our attendance, as I am looking forward to seeing everyone.  By the way, Bill, Tim & I will be staying at the hotel and already have our reservations.

Toni Canonico (Nasco)

So sorry about your shoulder, Nancy!!!💔

Bill Coffeen

Toni ... get on a plane ... I will pick you up at the airport ... it would be nice if you still got $10 passes !

Nancy Lundblom (Blizzard)

Thank you for the well wishes, Toni.  Saw the doctor yesterday and no surgery required, although I still have to stay in a sling for the next week, and start physical therapy on Monday.  Doctor says I will be good to go for the Round-up!  I agree with Bill and wish you could attend.  It's always a treat to see your smiling face.

Caryl Gardner (Broaderick)

Hi Nancy,  So thankful you don't need surgery!!! Can't wait to see you both❤️❤️❤️Caryl

Donna Thacker (Baro)

So glad you won't need surgery Nancy.

Unfortunately I must cancel the post luncheon celebration at Caryl's house.  My daughter is flying in for weekend visit arriving early evening.  I still plan on making the luncheon at Houch's.  Sorry for the last minute cancellaiton.

Toni Canonico (Nasco)

Bill, thank you for the Airport Pickup offer! Best “pickup offer” I’ve had in a lonnnng time! LOL!! Unfortunately I am unable to attend the “peachy” gathering due to a previous commitment...my neighbor and I have had conflicting Andrea  Bocelli tickets since early this summer! (I know! I know! You guys will be much more fun! :-) ) But I’ll be staying tuned for the next “Hugfest”!! Hugs and blessings to all of our Classmates...and don’t forget to have one...or 7 :-)  for me!! Toni

Melvin "Jack" Krouskroup

Congrats to the Georgia organizers.........Looks like you have made the first step toward a annual event. To all the Ga. attendees ENJOY the reunion. We now have 2 locations......A few new Round-ups, probably in the central US and the west could really allow us tto generate a registry of old (don't read OLD) friends, it's easy, just use this format. 

The Ormond Beach 6th round-up, time and date is coming soon.   Jack

Pam Yorba (Sigband)

Hi Everyone!  You have no idea how badly I wanted to come to Atlanta, but I had a wedding scheduled on Friday and my annual Halloween party on Sunday....here on Balboa Island we get at least 2500 TrickerTreaters so it is quite insane. My son thought I could still do it all but I finally decided that it was too much of a stretch timewise coming from CA. Be assured that I will be thinking of you and wishing that I was there. Hugs to all..Come visit if you get to the West Coast. See you at the next get togetherPam Yorba (Sigband)

The First Annual North Georgia Roundup took place last Thursday (October 28th)  and is in the books. For those fortunate enough to make this Roundup, now is the time to post the photos you took on our class website. To do so, go to the left side of our home page, scroll down and click on "Local Roundup Photos NEW, and then click on "Georgia Roundup 2021."  Upload as many photos as you would like to. Since a few of us have changed a bit since high school, and this Roundup included members from the class of '63 and other classes, and there were spouses and guests who attended but did not attend HHS, it would be helpful if you would use the editing feature on the website, either at the time of posting or later, to add the names of the people in each photo at the bottom of your photos. Looking forward to seeing the photos of this event.

Georgia Roundup

James Voyles (HHS 1963)

My wife Penny and I just returned from the Classes of ‘63, ‘64 and ‘65 Georgia Roundup 2021 in Roswell, Georgia. What an experience! It was really great to see those of you who attended, and if this becomes an annual event I would strongly suggest that if you weren’t there you should make every effort to be a part of it in the future. Before we left Houck’s Grill we stood and sang the Hialeah High School Alma Mater, and I’ve been thinking of the qualities mentioned in that song that we all knew and sang so often almost sixty years ago. Honor, duty, loyalty and faithfulness might seem like corny, or even sappy emotions today, but for me at least, they really meant something, and had a strong impact on the way I thought, and still think, of our commitment to society. I don’t know if other schools made their students feel that there was something special about themselves and their school, but I think Hialeah High, in the early 60s, really did. What a great set of memories, not only about the “good old days” but for the opportunity to renew old friendships, and I want to thank Caryl and Art Broaderick for the generous offer of their house for the evening festivities, and Bill Coffeen for all his work in organizing nd providing nametags for us.  What a rush!
