BHS'56 girls meet on the third Monday each month at Bexley's Rusty Bucket to discuss the weather, local, national and personal news and anything else of interest.  Attendance varies.  In November there were seven local "girls" -Nancy Metzger Beck, Marilyn Varley Cherry, Pat Stebelton Hendrix, Peggy Hammersmith Kaplan, Lisa Weissenbach Perrin, Babs Jones Thorson and Anita Morris St. John.  As these seven arrived, surprise was evident as each one saw Bobby Cohen in our midst.  He was visiting his radio news reporter brother here and fortunately found the group.  Not only was Bobby more than welcome, but any other loyal 56ers are welcome when in town on the right Monday.  Our only official business on the agenda last month was the next class reunion.  Our rather casual decision was that having a reunion in the fall of 2012 would not only to give us more time to plan but also to have a 56th reunion of the Class of '56.  Is that at least somewhat clever?  It will be somewhat less spectacular than our 50th because we have less energy!  As soon as we have more information, there will be a mailing.
 

Graduated from Capital University, Methodist Theological School (Masters) and United Seminary (Doctorate).  I pastor a UCC church in Historic Tremont area of Cleveland and my partner and I live nearby with her two sons (Ethan, 11 and Phillip, 9).  In addition, I serve on the board for the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Agency Advisory Board of the Cleveland Food Bank, and am a part-time chaplain at Fairview Hospital.  Although most sports have become things of the past, due to age and arthritis, occasionally I get in a golf game and my hobbies have become home renovation and woodworking.  If you get to Cleveland, give me a call.  I’m looking forward to the 50th reunion this year.
 

Amazing.  Our 50th reunion this year!  I’m making plans to be there.  After spending thirty years as a Navy wife, living all over in great places, I’m settled in NC in a terrific golf community on the Coast between Myrtle Beach and Wilmington.  Being single has its rewards.  Still playing good golf, involved with Habitat and some other organizations.  Retired from nursing last year and enjoying life at the beach.  Y’all come down – door always open!!
