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!

Class Reunion

Our Joss Class of 1968 will be gathering on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for our 2016 class reunion.  This four-day event will take place on October 19-23, 2016.  Chris and I completed our letter and invitation regarding plans, activities, points of interest, lodging, etc., last week and we successfully placed this informational letter in the mail this past Friday, January 29.  I sent this letter/invitation to all of our classmates for whom I have reliable addresses.  These number 59.

The Hampton Inn and Suites, a few miles south of Corolla, NC, will be home base for our reunion.  I have booked and have on hold 20 rooms at this hotel.  Class members are to call this hotel directly at 1-252-453-6565 to make reservations.  To be assured of a room at our special group rate, you must call the hotel before September 21, 2016.  The Hampton Inn and Suites is a lovely, well appointed, oceanfront property.

Our reunion will feature the sandy beaches and shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean, the striking ecology of the area, a thrilling safari in search of the wild horses living on the Outer Banks, the unique stories of the Currituck and the Hatteras light houses, enticing points of interest such as Wright Brothers Memorial and Jockey Ridge State Park, delicious food and drink for all tastes, and, of course, renewed friendships and camaraderie.

I am hoping that, when we all return to home our separate ways, each of us will be feeling joy and relaxation.  If you have any questions regarding our planned reunion, please call me at 1-919-475-9675 or email me at tmeyer@nc.rr.com.  Chris and I are looking forward to seeing you.
