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 Completes Circle of Globe

On Saturday evening, June 11, the Carolina Godiva Track Club finished its virtual race around the Globe.  Beginning on January 1, 2016, over the span of 162 days, 72 runners eclipsed a total of 33,646.4 miles.

Personally, I enjoyed participating in this virtual race.  Although I had been laid off from running for 6 or 7 weeks due to a couple health issues, I did complete 232.4 miles in the course of this race.  This event kept my interest up.  I was intrigued with each country that we were running through.  This virtual event provided me motivation to continue to add my miles.  I also enjoyed the online chat and encouragement.  My competitiveness surfaced as I sought to run more miles on a given day in order to surpass the mileage of the runner ahead of me.  This was fun!

I'm proud to add that my daughter Katie ran 830.4 miles during this period and finished in 13th place among all the runners.
