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!

Fun Things to Do in the Metroplex (Dallas/Fort Worth Area)

Greetings from the Frozen Tundra of the Chicago Area

First of all, you can't believe EVERYTHING that appears in some of the comments in this blog site, especially after an "ancient mariner" (or is it marathon runner - Hats off to you, Tom!!) has had a beer or two.

Secondly,  as has been mentioned elsewhere in this blog site, Dan Clayton has been working on our upcoming reunion with much dedication and enthusiam.  There is much to do in the Metroplex region - culture, recreation, and dining.  Betty and I have twice visited the new Klyde Warren Park next to the Arts District, and near the catherdral, over an expressway in Dallas.  It is certainly worth a visit.  Grapevine is a cute old town with lots of charm, immediately west of DFW Airport and north of Fort Worth.  It has quaint shops, nice restaurants, a beautiful arboretum-type park, and a neat old train that runs into Fort Worth (but beware of a possible ambush on the train).

Hope many of you can join us in October.

Y'all Come!
