Everlynnie:  Please realize that those who slammed people on this site and on Facebook know who they are.  It's ridiculous that we cannot discuss our views, disagree, and move on.  Slamming and belittling people who don't agree w/you is sad and in my opinion, wrong.  It truly is NOT you my friend.  People pulled off this site because they were so furious that their choice didn't become President.  Period.  I haven't liked the "other side's" President, but it doesn't make me mad at anyone nor not speaking to anyone  Just move on!  That's all.  I remember my parents having spirited discussions about the next President w/friends from "the other side", and they laughed, then ate dinner, and moved on.  What in the world has happened?  Why does anyone want to make others defensive about who they voted for?   I like everyone no matter how you vote!

Bruce McKelvey's wife, Marsha, is now in hospice care in Phoenix.  Keep them in your spiritual practices.  Drop Bruce a note through this website.

We have new "Where in the world are we?" submissions and I hope to get them up soon.  Just got my son out of MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland (a great place!) Tuesday.  He's fine and will be heading back to Phoenix Friday.  Meanwhile, we watch for fireworks on the deck.

Bruce McKelvey will be here in Ohio the week of August 14.  He will be at the Burntwood Tavern on Detroit Rd in River on Friday, August 16, at 6:00 PM.  He is inviting anyone who cares to join him.  Stop in for libations, dinner or just to say hello!

There will be a Celebration of Life for Marsha on Saturday, October 26th from noon until 6:00 pm. The event will be held at the Sun Lakes Community Center in the Navajo Room. The address is 25601 S Sun Lakes Blvd, Sun Lakes 85248. This is Sun Lakes Phase 1. A Bar will be available for you to purchase beverages if you like. Food will also be served. I will need an RSVP by the end of September so I can provide the caterer a headcount. If more than the headcount shows up..that's fine, however, there may be no food left. Please RSVP to or any questions you may have to my email address at ...rcpilot400@gmail.com This will be a nice event to pay tribute to an awesome lady...who just happened to be my wife....

Nancy Westerfield Depew was the enthusiastic planner of all of our minis when she was healthy enough to do so.  I didn't know her in high school very well, but certainly got to know her through our minis.  What a sad loss to our class.  Her attitude never waivered.  She always said, no matter how sick she was, that there were many more who had it worse than she did.  I will miss her and will pray for her family.

Nancy's Ceremony:  9/14  11 am   American Legion 22001   Brookpark, FP

Please keep her family in your spiritual practices.  They are a very close family.  Condolences can be sent to:  Don Collopy, 13800 Bennington Rd., Middleburg Heights, Ohio  44130   

Nancy loved Maria's Field of Hope Sunflowers and we went together a few times.  I was out near Cedar Point Rd recently and that field is starting to bloom.  I've been told that mid-September will be the best time to see them and I had planned to take Nancy this year.  There is another field at 35135 Chester Rd in Avon just west of the southwest corner of Jaycox.  The photos below were taken on one of our visits.  If you get a chance during September, stop by to see the sunflowers in either location and think of Nancy with a smile.  She would like it and will no doubt be there in spirit.

The picture is Larry "Gilbs" Gilbert. He is sitting in our first apartment on Detroit Rd in Lakewood.

Thanks for posting the pictures of Nancy, Ellen.  That's a great way to remember her.  She will be missed but looking down on us smiling.  She'll always be at our mini's......

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Thanks, Pat.  Now if we can get others to chime in on the next one cuz I think Pat's going to know them all.....If no one else IDs some of them, we'll call on Pat.  The photos actually came from Pat....

Nancy.....I was so blessed to see you two day's before you passed. You were an inspiration to me and a great Facebook friend to Marsha. You are a rose amoung thornes . Also...RIP "GATHERING OF GERIATRIC SILLINESS"  2008-2019.

I found this happy photo of Nancy, and thought I would share it here.  We miss you Nancy!  Our class has the nicest ladies!

Barbara Peate (Sabo)

The only people I can see clearly is Cartwright and Wentz (in the suit standing up).  Maybe Sally Little in the forefront?  Hard to see......

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Good choices, Barb.  I wondered if that was Sally Willey sitting with the long scarf?  And who is it with all that beautiful long hair?  Maybe time for Pat to chime in.....I bet he knows who all of them are.

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

From Pat this morning.  Thanks, Pat, for clearing up at least some of the mystery!

Larry Gilbert is on the side holding a cigarette.
Of course, Cartwright.
Not sure of the fella in the suit, originally thought it was Tom Kelley.
His wife, Janice is in front of him.
My wife, Mary Ann is next to her.
Not sure of anyone else. Don't think it was Sally Wiley.
Again, a picture from our first apartment in Lakewood.

Barbara Peate (Sabo)

Could the one in the suit in the picture be Tom Wentz?  The hair cut sort of looks like him from the back.  Is one of the girls Margie Seelbach with Cartwright?  Could the blonde be Sally Little or Binky George?  I can see Larry, so one of the girls he dated from Mag?  Really hard to see but fun to look at!

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Lots of speculation on the '69 photo.  Anyone else want to chime in?  Jan Soros thought she might be in it.  Larry????

Barbara Peate (Sabo)

Definitely Tom and Martha (Marty was when I knew here in high school) Wentz!  Unfortunately, Tom passed away, and Martha not long ago passed away also.

Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)

Yes, Barb, you are correct.  Will get another one posted soon.  Thanks for your response.
