Gathering. This note
from Linda Quezada-Freshwater:
Hello CHHS 73 alumni,
Hope your summer is going
good so far. Well its our
annual summer gathering of
the DSO concert at
Kensington Metro Park this
year which will be on Friday
June 25 at 8 PM. So bring
your lawnchairs and coolers
to this free event (there is
a charge to get into the
park unless you have a state
park sticker). I will be
heading out to the park
right after work to secure
an area for us. I will have
a yellow & blue balloon
tried to my chair so you can
find us. This event in the
past has always been a great
get together. If there is
anyone I might have missed
sending this to please pass
this along to them.
I look forward to spending a
nice evening with friends,
music and enjoying the
outdoors. If you have any
questions just let me know
or call me at home

8/5/09 Today we regret
to report to passing of our
classmate
Russell Ward.
From his sister, Marilyn
Ward-Schmidt '76, we received
the following: "I
wanted to inform you that my
brother, Russ Ward passed away
on July 29, 2009 very suddenly.
He had a stroke about 7 years
ago and had recovered pretty
well from that. He was living
in Pinckney with our mother
since the stroke. He was
delivering pizza's for a living
since the stroke. Anyway,
even though he was on high blood
pressure medicine, it was not
really under control. He died
on the way to the hospital, we
think it was either another
stroke or heart attack. He was
53 years old. FYI. The
funeral has already taken place
on 8/1/09. If you want
more details, let me know."

2/13/06 Bob's Big
Day An email from
Nancy Langeneckert (Bob's wife,
I received this after many
forwards) says our Mr
Langeneckert is the Grand Prize
Winner in a Meijer contest.
Tune into ESPN at half-time
during the Michigan - Michigan
State Game on Saturday, February
18th. It starts at 4:00.
"He gets 45 seconds to
try as many times as he needs to
sink the ball. First a
simple lay-up. After he
does that, he's moved to the
free-throw line. With
whatever time he has left, he
keeps shooting until the ball
goes in. If there's more
time left, he goes to the
3-point area for another shot,
each shot worth more than the
last. No matter what
happens during this time, the
buzzer will sound after the 45
seconds, and he moves to the
center court for one shot that's
worth. ....quite a bit!"
Mr. Langeneckert also gets to
have lunch with the Spartan team
at the Kellogg Center first.

Linda
Quezada-Freshwater is excited
about her mortgage approval
today, she is buying her folks
house in Inkster. In her
recent email she said "Its
really very exciting for me."
She expects to close the deal at
the end of this month for a move
in January. Her excitement
was followed by the comment "to
move in January will be the pitts", no doubt referring
to Michigan weather.
Congratulations Linda!
