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!

CGTC Still in Run around the Globe

Since my previous post on January 31, 2016, the Carolina Godiva Track Club has amassed an additional 15,000 miles in its pursuit to complete its virtual run around the Globe.  Since leaving China, club runners have eclipsed miles that have taken them through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Cameroon, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, and Ghana.  As of today, the running club has completed a total of 22,435.1 miles.  The person with the most miles has run 896.5 miles since January 1.  Our daughter Katie is in 12th place having run 609.5 miles.  My running has been significantly curtailed over the past month and a half because I had a pacemaker inserted on February 26 and underwent prostate surgery on March 29.  (Needless to say, I will not be in shape to run the half-marathon in Louisville, KY, on April 30.)  When club runners reach the West African coast, we will traverse the Atlantic Ocean.  Our next landing location will be the East Coast of Brazil.  There is a total of 70 active runners participating in this virtual run around the Globe.
