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!

Holiday Treasures

Left to Right: Fr. Dan, Tom, Chris, Betty, and Don
Chris and I planned to meet Don and Betty Wampach for lunch at Bar Louie in Oak Park, IL, on December 26, 2012, and we were surprised by Dan Clayton's presence at the restaurant.  Fr. Dan is covering a parish on Chicago's southside for two months for a pastor who is on sabbatical.  We cherished our friendship and enjoyed our meal.
