WELCOME to this blog for the JOSS Class of 1968. This blog is for us, members of this class. It celebrates all of us, all that we are individually and as a group, and honors those who have died. Each one of us is uniquely graced and gifted.

Most of us first came together in 1956 at a little-known place in Central Ohio. Others arrived later. Whether we left the Josephinum before ordination or were ordained in 1968, we all followed uniquely individual calls.

We have journeyed through significant historical times - "Camelot", Vatican II, the Vietnam War, exploration of space, the civil rights movement, advances in communication technology, sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, growth in and loss of relationships, terrorism, medical/surgical breakthroughs, "Arab Spring", and much more.

The vision for this blog is to connect anew, share our stories, support one another.

Greetings! Jump on board! Peace and Shalom!

"Super-Fun" Exercise Invite

OK, Class of '68, here is a "special opportunity" that YOU can enjoy at our reunion next month!  But I need to know whether you are INTERESTED before I confirm this.  Susan DeGregory is the daughter of Frank and Judy Fulkerson; she lives in Calistoga, California.  She is a fitness guru.  Knowing that we will be in her "neighborhood," she has offered to lead a fun-filled exercise experience for US.  Below is her email to me describing the EXPERIENCE.  Off hand, I'm thinking we could have this activity some time Saturday afternoon/evening after we return from the Napa Valley Wine Train at the vacation house in Cloverdale where the Wampach's, Hageman's, and we are staying.  However, this is not definite yet.  After you read Susan's email, let me know whether you're interested.  Then, if you're interested, give me your thoughts about time and place.  Subsequently, I'll contact Susan again.  Here is her website: https://www.zumba.com/en-US/profiles/240619/susan-degregory/.  I look forward to hearing back from you.         Tom

Hi Tom! 

I teach a fitness class called Zumba, which is an easy-to-follow Latin
inspired dance class. I teach to all ages including adults (ahem, my
parent's age) and one class I teach is even geared towards individuals with
Parkinson's. I've also led classes after dinner parties as entertainment!

My vision is a simple, low-impact, fun, energizing, upbeat, 45 minute
"class" (imagine a wedding reception). I would need a space where people
could comfortably move (preferably hard wood but not necessary - even
outdoors is fine) and I would bring my own music and boombox. 

I'm open to Saturday, Sunday or Monday and any time of day is good. I would
really love for everyone to at least see it in action, even if some people
don't participate, so in the evening when everyone gets together might be
fun too. I don't want it to be too formal of an exercise class as I think
that might deter people.

In case you didn't gather per my mom's email it is SUPER FUN!!! Thank you
for this opportunity!

Xoxoxo Susan
