Homecoming parade made easier this year

You might want to forward this information to the class of '65.
This year's homecoming parade is Oct. 2, 2010. If you are a walker, you don't have to register. Last year the class of '65 had two (2) walkers.....I believe it was Obert & Drexler. (Yes, that's the dynamic duo below) Class of  '67 had six. Class of '68 had eight.
We found out last year that the walk from the fairgrounds was a little hike in itself, so this year I have roped my husband (non-alum) to drive his restored 1976 Silverado pickup in the parade, that way several of us can ride in the back on the way to Broadway. We had a banner made for the grill that just says JHS Alumni. 

In the pickup box will also be two members from the class of '41. Alan Grundei usually drives ahead of us with his mother's class in his '57 chevy.
We usually have a great time and Broadway is packed. The shirts are red, with the class year on them. ($5) Can't beat that with a stick!

(Stan's note to classmates. If you wanna be in the parade, let Obert know. Jeffhi1965@gmail.com. If you want to see what happened in all the previous homecoming parades and our marvelous Class of '65 participation levels, type "parade" into the search box above and you'll get all the stories . . . like "Cardinal wore nothing but handcuffs" and a lot more.)
