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!

Responses to Class Reunion Announcement

Response to our 2016 Class Reunion on the Outer Banks of North Carolina in October has been impressive.  In addition to Chris and me, those who've said they are planning to come are Don and Betty Wampach, Norm and Linda Hageman, Frank Fulkerson, Fr. Dan Clayton, Fr. Jim Koenigsfeld, Jack Park and Harry Tennery, Steve Lautermilch, Mike Heydinger, Ron and Sandy Langhals, Thad and Donna Kresho, and John and Loretta Dahmus.  Fr. Ger Knueven said he is working on a substitute to cover for him that weekend in October.  Mike Heydinger is talking with Fr. Frank Kehres about plans and arrangements for the reunion.  Kenny Stephens and Dale and Frances Schmitz replied they are interested in the reunion but are yet uncertain about plans.  I received regrets from Doug Kruse, Joe Mammola, and Bernie Rabik.  Chris and I are looking forward to a refreshing, invigorating time at the beach with all of you.  I will be getting more information out to you in the near future.
