Major Announcement;
Squirrel Nut Chews or "Squirrels"... peanut flavored chews.
Some of you remember them as Squirrel Nut Zippers.
They are actually the same but sold under a different
name in different parts of the county... I am not sure why.
Unfortunately the company that makes Nut Chews and
Nut Zippers recently went out of business.
There is a possibility that another candy
company will buy the brand and restart
operations but for now they are no longer available.
Please read on for news of Reunions, old and new.
more reunion details below, New Ones and Old Ones...
Several Reunions for this year please read on..
If you know of any of the ‘missing’ from the ‘list’ please notify any of the emails
listed. If you want to join Classmates you can do that but if you don’t want to
go public with your info, just send an email or call Diane Jarvis.

and Don writes...early May, 2004
There is no doubt that this medium has been a gold mine for
those of us who are anxiously looking for old friends. I have
been blessed many times over through the Classmates message
board and on through the evolution of this group.
I don't want to rank any of the my old friends that I have found.
I have found some of my truest friends that we just lost track of.
Most of my friends I lost as I went into the military or began
a married life with children. The reunions have been utterly fantastic.
I have also witnessed others finding old friends that they have not
seen or talked to in years and they magically both appeared in this group.
We had one girl who found the best friend of her recently deceased father.
I have also made new wonderful friends like Glen, Glenn, Oliver, Sherry,
Phil and John and I could go on but space is a premium.
There are the new friends that I haven't ever seen but I still
consider them friends (I am not exactly sure how I am considered by them but....)
like The Other Mike, Dru, Jean and now Cari.
There are many more that I haven't named but it is not because
they are cared for any less it is because I am OLD and have the
memory of a doorknob. We can discuss anything that we want
and when the dust settles there still stands all the friends
with all the friendly smiles.
Anyone who has not attended one of the various Thingies do not
know what they are missing. We have had "mini-thingies" in Florida
when only 2 or 3 would show up and they were still rewarding. It
is fun to talk about Mrs. Thorton driving bus #37, Pete & Chris
slicing bologna at Steve's Market, Gabe scooping out burger at
Gabriel's, the big cow at Richardson's, the unicycle riders
behind the mall, the weigh station on Dixie Hwy, all the
elementary schools that have closed, the stickie things at
the ends of loaves of bread instead of twistie ties and
all those things from our youth.
Or we can talk about our young adult life (or the current
life in Cari's case) and the military, weddings (my first
one was in Thessalon, Ont and the 2nd was in Dallas),
birth of kids and more. We can talk about the present...
Bush and Bush and Kerry and Clinton (and that guy she married)
and Bob Hope and Anna Nicole Smith. Above it all is the
companionship. See everyone in October!!!!

Contact Don Bova and Glen Bradsher about this years 2003 Reunion
in October. And don’t forget to contact Coni and Char or
Marsha Benedict below about the Reunion in Waterford,
just months away. August 23rd, 2003
WTHS class of 1973.
30-year reunion coming up August 16, 2003.
We will be at the Hilton

wths1973reunion@hotmail.com
following is a few bits and pieces from the 2002 Reunion in Florida.
Don’t forget there is another planned for October 2003, in
Daytona, see Don and Glen for more of those details.
Another is planned for October 2003, which is just
around the corner, so help get the word out.
Its either high tide or the guy taking the photo
is to heavy for this pier!
The 500 of you that were not at the 1st Annual
Waterfordian Florida Get Together Thingie will probably
grow weary of us kicking around this dead horse
(not to be confused with hayrides) but there is still a lot to say.
First....kudos to Brandy of Inlet Harbor Restaurant
(I thought her name was Brenda....I need to read name badges).
She was a terribly nice and very efficient waitress. I
think that everyone of us that was at the thingie should
write the Inlet Harbor a letter expressing our gratitude for her
wonderful service. Click Here to send a Thank you to Brandy!
http://inletharbor.com/email.html
Glen Briggs.....I had a great time talking to you. Next time
I get going and don't shut up like that just stuff a napkin
in my mouth. I did enjoy your wit, intelligence and stories.
By the way, Lisa will NOT forget your promise!!!
Dave & Jan...Good seeing you. I trust that you will
enjoy the portrait that you will have of me.
Don't be silent on Yahoo.
Jackie....If it were decreed that we could only have
one Captain you would be top on the list. You and Rick
(even though
he likes the Packers) are a great couple and a lot of fun....
even though we saw no stretch marks.
Oliver....What can I say. It was so great to finally
meet you and your wife. Thanks for helping Lisa
with the camera.
All of your wit and wisdom that I have been reading
the past few years do not hold a candle to you in person. I look
forward to our next meeting.
Dick.....You were so much fun...although I am not going to
be on the "lift Dick Walsh off the floor" committee any longer.
I will be forward Lauraine's address to you. Hope your run to
Disney was tons of fun. Book your Oct 4 & 5, 2003 now.
Pat...What a hoot. Love you, Lisa loves you and everyone
else there loved you. We will not have a thingie without you in
attendence. Thanks much for the gift!
Dave and Steph....You guys are terrific. Having an old ELEIA
pal there was the best. I can't tell you how much it meant
to see you. By the way, I still only have your Indiana address...
email me your Florida one.
John & Coni...I'm sure glad that I was there to tell you two who you were. You guys were so funny telling each other that
you would have never recongnized each other.
Glenn and Mike...Let me know when the Super Bowl gang is meeting.
Ann and Ardyth...DON'T MISS THE NEXT ONE....OCTOBER 4 OR 5 2003
I know I didn't mention to you all but you all made the thingie a REAL thingie!
Don Bova
WTHS 1966
The October 6th, 2002 Reunion was a great success and Don Bova
and Glen Bradsher will be presenting it again in 2003. Read over the
following to see what you may have missed and remember to stay
intouch so you can be informed of the details for the next Reunion
for all schools all years, this time next year.
OK! Mark your calendars. The 3rd Annual Waterford All School,
All Year in Florida Reunion will be held Sunday October 3, 2004.
It will be at the Inlet Harbor Restaurant in Ponce Inlet, Florida.
It will start at noon. Food and beverage will be their regular menu.
There is wonderful seating outdoors along the Halifax River however,
if the weather is, how do I say it, crappy, there is an inside section
with plenty of seating.
Remember this is for WTHS, WKHS and WMHS and for all graduating
years.(of course, if a Clarkston or West Bloomfield person or two comes along they are also welcome)
Looking for accomodations: Try these
“I just priced out a 1 bedroom suite at the "Cove of Ormond Beach" for 3
nights starting Oct 4 and was quoted a price of $57 per night. If I
were coming to the Daytona area this is where I would stay. They have
a website http://islandone.com/ When I checked this morning they had
3 of these rooms available. They also have studio units at a lower
rate and 2 bdrm units at a higher rate. I am not an expert on
handicap accommadations, but there are no stairs to navigate. All
rooms have oceanview balconies. I believe this is the best value in
the Daytona area. Online reservations are not available-the tollfree
number is 1 888 475 2626.
The "Bahama House" is another quality resort. It does have handicap
rooms, but the rate is about 2 times that of the "Cove". The price
includes a nightly happy hour and a continental breakfast. This would
be my second pick in selecting accommadations. The phone number is
1- 386-248-2001”

amberjack fishing to zoological parks and everything in

Q&A’s
Ponce Inlet is a suburb of of Daytona. There are plenty of rooms,
places to eat and visit. Glen and I picked October 6th,
2002 as the date because that is the lowest room rate
of the year, which means no special events.
There is plenty to do here,always!
Florida does not have casinos but they do have
what is called "cruises to nowhere". This cruises
are gambling excursions to International waters.
Daytona has an International Airport but it is
usually cheaper to fly into Orlando or Jacksonville.
I just bought a ticket for my son (MSU) pronounced
Ma-Soo and he is flying Toledo to Daytona.
It meant he had an extra half hour drive at
his end and we had convenience at our end.
I check Detroit to Florida airfares almost daily
and if I see something terrific I will be sure to post it.
My wife works at one of the better hotels in the
Daytona area and I just told her today to
inquire about rooms. http://www.daytonabahamahouse.com
If you type in Daytona and do a yahoo search,
there is plenty of info available.
There are plenty of Museums here.
Two of my favorites are the Hooters 7
Wonders of the World Museum and the
Miss Hawaiin Tropics Museum of modern arts. Glen Bradshere
Go to http://www.yahoo.com and do a
search of Daytona and the surrounding suburbs,
you will be overwhelmed with info, attractions
and other things to do. We would appreciate
receiving any more detailed information from
your 'searchs' so we can post what you find which will aid others..
