I hope this note finds you and your family well. Thank you for another invitation to the SWHS 45th reunion which begins today. We held out hope until the last minute that our schedules would allow us to attend the reunion this year. Unfortunately things didn't work out for us. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and fun filled weekend. Although my family left Ohio at the beginning of my Sophomore year (in 1961), I spent the first fifteen years of my life in Fostoria and I have many fond memories of friends and family members left behind. As you might recall, I attended the 40th reunion with you all in 2004 shortly after my wife of 32.5 years lost her battle to Kidney Cancer. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you all during that weekend. In late 2005 I met Diana (from Denver, CO) who had also lost her spouse to cancer. We fell in love and were married in 2006. At the same time I sold my business in Indianapolis, Diana sold Amici's (an Italian restaurant in Denver) and I relocated to Denver. We began our retirement by remodeling our home in Denver and by closing on a new winter home in Bonita Springs, FL. I am attaching a few pictures taken in 2006. The color pictures were taken in February 2006. The black and white photo was taken aboard a cruise ship while on our honeymoon in Europe in August 2006. Between us Diana and I have nine children and sixteen grandchildren. As you might imagine, they keep us very busy. If any of you ever find yourself in Southwest Florida (December through May) or in the Denver area (June through November), we would love to spend some time with you. Our phone number in Bonita Springs, FL is (see below) and our phone number in Thornton, CO (a Denver suburb) is (see below). My cell phone number is (see below). I look forward to visiting the SWHS '64 website and viewing all of the new pictures as well as reading all of .. the news from the 2009 reunion. I know that Mike Marley passed away this year. Would it be possible for you to post any other obituaries from the class of 1964 on the website? Thank you for your help and please retain my E Mail address for future possible events. Take care and again.....Have a great time this weekend! Jerry (Magers)
