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!

Wampach's in the Rockies

In addition to frequent excursions to Fort Worth, Texas, to see their young grandson and to Door County, Wisconsin, for get-aways, this summer Don and Betty Wampach ventured to our neighboring country north of us.  They thoroughly enjoyed an 8-day trip to the Canadian Rockies.  Don wrote, "We spent 8 fabulous days in the Canadian Rockies. Two were on the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Jasper.  While not the Swiss Alps, they are best we have on this side of the pond. Still: WOW.  Walked on the Columbia Ice Fields - 826 feet deep ice, spread out over the equivalent of Paris twice.

Yes, further testimony to the importance of loving and caring for our Mother Earth!
