SENECA COUNTY FAIR

Hurry, Hurry Step right up. There’s only a few days left of FUN at the Seneca County Fair. I’ve enclose 3 links to sites about the fair. The first is a Quick Time movie of the rides taken in 1957. Anyone remember that year? The next on is the official Seneca County Fair site and the last is an article in the A/T newspaper about a new enteraninment center.

Last of all once again I would like to suggest and idea that I had several years ago. I think that the Alumni Association or someone should rent a small spot in one of the buildings or a kiosk to promote the Association and help fun scholarships etc. It would be ONE place that everyone knows and they would know the date too, since it is always on the last week of July. Say someone can not make and August reunion but wants to catch up with news, address’s etc., or to leave their new address. Does anyone out there agree? Also is anyone out there? My site numbers indicate someone is visiting the blog besides me. WHO ARE YOU?
One more small note, please forgive my spelling etc. my eyes are slowly going ARMD it makes it hard even to see what spell check is saying. Oh well at least I can’t see any wrinkles on my face.

MORE GOLF....INSPIRATIONAL

PART TIME WORK

I'm sure that many of us work part-time to keep busy and make a little money. I've worked at a local golf course for almost 5 years now. I have met a lot of friends there and have a lot of golf partners now. I work 2 mornings a week and sometimes fill in for someone on vacation or sick. The hours are good: seven am till 1pm and except for the summer busy is slow and I feel like the Maytag repair man.

When things are slow I have the golf course cat "Dudley" to keep me company. He is very affectionate. Everyone spoils him by bringing treats and petting him. He has got it made.

Now everything about the job is great except for one little detail: I hate the uniform I have to wear! Do you think it makes me look good, or silly?

see photo of my buddy Dudley and my uniform hat. (not really) You know you can send me stuff like this to publish also.....come on now!

August in Tiffin

August in Tiffin is always full of things to do and people to see. First of all there are school class reunions and there are a couple this August including class of 1954 and 1959. Go to the Alumni site for more details http://www.tc-alumni.org/2009%20Reunions.html

I know a lot of my good friends are coming to town just to spend some time together. Dick Kuhn will be staying at his house in Lake Mohawk. D. Wayne Weber and his friend Barbara (Wise) Ward will be with him. I have also learned that my good buddy Judy (Berezin) Whiteman is coming into town and visiting Judy Blust, Ann Ferguson and others I'm sure. I hope I didn't leave anyone out. Most of the above people will be in Tiffin on the 14th or there abouts. Look for them and say hello.

Say hello for me to everyone, since I won't be able to make it to Tiffin this year again. I really miss hanging around and visiting with friends.

Maybe you know of somthing going on that you would like to leave a COMMENT about.?

Of all the things to do in Tiffin in August there is ONE thing you can not foget! and that is a visit to JOLLY'S

Couthouse Update

Kay Heising Huss writes:

Hi, For you out of towners who are interested in the status of the courthouse, it is on the front pages of both the Advertiser and the Toledo Blade. A 3 hr presentation was made by The Seneca County Courthouse and Downtown Redevelopement Group Franklin Conaway. Read all about it at the following websites: Click on the bottom two sites. Drawings of a restored courthouse were also included in the presentation. The bottom line is that it will cost much less to rennovate than to raze and build a new courthouse. The Blade article is better at least in my estimation.
Here are links to the stories in
ADVERTISER TRIBUNE

TOLEDO BLADE

Thanks for the update on the Seneca County Courthouse

Hello Out There!

Hello Out There! I know you’re out there and I know that you are not all taking a nap, well again maybe you are. Wake Up!
I thought I would tell you a little about how this blog works. You don’t have to join anything although maybe some of you already have a google account. You can make comments to any photos of stories by clicking on the comment line under each blog and sign in as anonymous and in the text of your comment type you name so we know who you are. If you would rather email me at sarj@sarjbloom.com please do so. I will publish any story or photo about you, your children, grandchildren, the town, reunions, memories or just about anything that would be of interest to friends, family or classmates. I really think that once we get going this will be a place to share stuff and get to know one another.

Here is an example of a story in the Advertiser Tribune that Jim Wade wanted to share with me via email; so I decided to put it on my Navy Photo site and my Facebook page. Jim as many of you might know was a Photographers Mate in the Navy as was I. Click on the photo of Jim and Sylvia to read about their grandson who is becoming a photographer like his grandpa. Jim is so proud.
