DEAR CCS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS, still getting some wonderful comments about fall. Thank you so much for participating. Hope you have had the chance to go our website www.ccsindians.com and check out the fall pictures. Sure would like to see what fall looks like in your area. Not everyone lives among beautiful maple trees but we have our own fall themes. Please share!!!
Ken Gottry is always sending in such fascinating, interesting and noteworthy stuff about Cambridge so I decided to make another Ken Gottry inspired page . Hope to be adding more of Ken's pictures soon but what is up there now is interesting!!! I am also encourage you to comment on this page. Can't set it up like Facebook though....you have to click the email link I provided and send your comments to me. I will then put them on the page.
Douglas Wilkie,
Troy, NY and either
1964/65 This is in response to June Johnson Lawrence's email. We have a lot in common, we both have daughters named Krista (my daughter's name is spelled Christa) We will also be going to Germany the end of November but ours is a vacation. We will be taking a Christmas Market cruise on Viking. I will be revisiting the Munich Hofbrauhaus that John Davis and I met up together for the 1967 Oktoberfest. I will be sending John, hopefully, a picture of a very large beer from the Hofbrauhaus. Good luck on your trip. Say hello to Thure for me the next time you talk. Bob Inslerman; Saranac Lake, New York – Class of 1963 Colors are at their peak here in Saranac Lake with snow predicted next week. Some fond memories of fall in Cambridge include:
NOTE FROM PAULINE: The movie that scared me and my sister Susan was titled “Them” about giant ants. Had nightmares for months. Can’t watch a scary movie to this day.
Jann Thum
Smith, Class of 72, Florida: Debby Bowler Briscoe; Class of 1969; El Granada, CA Yes! The smell of burning leaves, after you raked a huge pile and jumped in them until they were pulverized. Bonfires, apple cider, doughnut holes from King’s bakery and hayrides. Cheering at football games, and Chris having to remove her “Free Huey” button.
Lots of
pumpkin peeking in Half Moon Bay, CA; and the 45th art and pumpkin
festival this weekend. Ted Presler Class of 1956, Hi
all and greetings from Silver City, New Mexico. Although we
are a desert region, we have 3.5 million acres of the Gila National
Park to our North. Normally we have a constant threat of forest
fires, but this year we have been blessed with record rainfall (but
not like South Carolina). It is now a southwestern Fall here with
beautiful Cambridge- like weather. Silver City is one of the busiest
towns in New Mexico--12K population with a blues festival, clay
festival, book festival, strings festival, fiber festival, stones
and mineral festival, the finest Tour of the Gila bike race and a
celebration of the Gila River that runs through 3 states (each time
this occurs each year I think about the wonderful Battenkill River
that my father, brother and I used to fish.) All the very best to my former classmates and the other members of the classes we had great fun with. Stay healthy!!!! Cheers. Comments about the passing of Retired Teacher, Barbara Sherman Peter Meerwarth: She taught English when I was in school. She was quite a character! I once saw her singlehandedly stop a student walk-out simply by standing in front of the exit and pointing her finger indicating to go back to class. Dave Thornton: Sorry to hear of Barbara's passing. She was a colleague for some years and a friend and history bud for many more. My world grows smaller with the passing of each such individual. Tracy Odell-Wooddell: She looked kind of scary when you first met her but she was a great teacher. She is why I love to read as I do now as an adult.\ Robb Kinnin : If you step back from her teaching manor-isms, you may have found that you came away with a great deal in terms of English. It wasn't until years down the road that I realized how I much I appreciated what she taught me. Memory Eternal!
