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!

Reunion Plans being Finalized

Ewing Mansion at Southfork Ranch
On July 10, Dan Clayton met with Star Swaner at Southfork Ranch, just north of Dallas, to discuss plans for a group lunch and tour at this location on Saturday, October 25.  You likely remember that this site's fame emanates from the hit TV series "Dallas."  I think this will be a spectacular experience during our reunion.

Lunch in Legends Ballroom
The Ewing Barbecue Lunch will be served within a Western atmosphere in the Legends Ballroom, 12:30-2:00 pm.  This will be no ordinary pork-BBQ-with-chips lunch.  Our lunch will feature Mesquite Smoked Choice Beef Brisket with Barbecue Sauce along with Southern Potato Salad, Creamy Cole Slaw, Southfork Ranch Style Beans, Garnish Tray, and Homemade Southwestern Cornbread Muffins, topped off by Apple Cobbler with Whipped Cream.  Does this lunch not excite your salivary glands and gustatory senses?  After lunch we will take a tour, guided or self-directed yet to be determined, of the Ewing Mansion and the museum.  Our event will climax at 4:00 pm.

Museum at Southfork Ranch
If there are any of you classmates out there still undecided about attending our reunion, this event itself should swing you over to coming.  Fr. Dan and I will be very happy to hear from you.
