even more random photographs

Above is an picture of the group getting organized for the photograph. If you want to watch a great Youtube concert of an old classic from the sixties, then click the Link: Stand By Me
It is very uplifting and highly recommended if you are in need of an uplift, watch the whole video, even if your employer is watching you waste time on the computer.

I received these photographs from Joan Rees which I will share with you. All the lower photographs were taken indoors except the photo of Sholly (center bottom) which editted and cropped from the group photograph; she is exhibiting some serenity and coolness while everyone was trying to get settled for that large photograph--- who said class reunions need to be stressful? again if you click your mouse on the photograph it will enlarge.

thanks Joan for sharing these with us.

40th reunion random photo #3

Here is a collage of random "happy faces" photographs taken at the Sweet Arrow Lake Clubhouse. Notice how all the photographs were neatly editted. Photography sure has come a long way since the old photo booth at the Trailways Bus Station down at the corner of East Norwegian Street and Highway 61.

The Pottsville Club was the scene for the 30th reunion .

more football

Here is a football story:

One Friday evening a man walked into the Necho Allen Hotel and sat down at the bar with his pet dog. The bartender said, “Sorry buddy. No pets allowed. You will have to leave.”

The man replied, “This is a special dog. You have the Nativity football game on WPPA radio station, don’t you?”

“Yes I do,” was the response.

The customer said, “Watch my dog. Whenever Nativity scores, my dog does a flip.”

At that moment, Nativity just scored a touchdown and the dog flipped in the air.

“Wow! that is one hell of a dog you got there. What happens when Nativity wins the game?”

The man responded, “I don’t know. I only had the dog for four years.”

The photograph above includes young Joe Paterno at bottom left, Joe Namath bottom right, and, of course, the classic Peanuts cartoon - all memories of the 1960's.
