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!

our 2018 reunion in Ohio

We all had so much fun at our recent reunion......thanks to all that Mike did in arranging everything so all ran so well.....very relaxing also......I did take about 500 pictures so I created a "quicky" slideshow which you can see below......with all the driving we did (again a great move to rent the van for us to travel together) the very next day after we got home, Donna did not drive more than one mile from our house when she came up with a flat and mangled tire since all the belts broke, and they told her that all of the tires were the same shape (so much for inspections), so I feel we were really being watched over.  I tell everyone at the Y that we actually had two buffets in one day in amish country....wow!!!! Tremendous friends who share so many common interests are very difficult to find, so I especially feel very fortunate that we do get together even though some of us only see each other every couple of years.  Maybe more can show up for the next reunion.  As we get older and hopefully have less responsibilities, perhaps that will become a reality.
