Sue Freidinger (Falzone)
TO THE CLASSES OF 1961, 1962, 1963 ( our 60th ), &1964
Don Gillfillan, Sue (Freidinger) Falzone, and Sarah (Kunkel) Ferrero have formed a committee to invite the class of ’63 to return to Watseka for the WCHS Homecoming Weekend which is the last weekend of September 2023 (September 28 - Oct. 1). We agreed that it would be fun to include other classes and hopefully create a nice sized group.
Beginning on Thursday, September 28, 2023 we will have dinner at The Old Colonial Inn in downtown Kentland, Indiana which is 13 miles from Watseka. Festivities will begin at 5:30 pm with a social hour ( open cash bar ) and lots of “catch up” chatter. Dinner will be served sometime between 6 and 6:30. Each person attending ( see registration form) will need to choose from one of the below:
English Cut Prime Rib at $35.00
Salmon at $32.00
Walleyed Pike at $30.00
All prices are per person and include a 20% tip. The meal includes a baked potato and tossed salad. The cost of the meal must be prepaid. See attached reservation form for details.
On Friday evening, September 29th, we will gather at the Watseka Elks Club between 5 and 5:30 pm with dinner at 6 or 6:30. The meal will be catered by the Copperpot Coffeehouse and will include pulled-chicken sandwiches, pulled-pork sandwiches, and a variety of salads. The cost for this evening will be $30.00 per person which includes the rental of the room and the meal. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening. We will have time after the meal for class presentations such as memories, etc., limited to 15 minutes per class. After that our room will be open to anyone you may wish to invite to join us for the rest of the evening.
These two functions are the only group activities we have planned. We invite all to gather with friends as they choose. Shewami Golf Club is open for play ( tee times required). You may remember The Topper on the North side of Watseka: John Martin, Jr. has remodeled the old haunt with the original neon sign shining like new! The fully remodeled “watering hole” has recaptured the friendly atmosphere of years gone by. Last year’s reunions found it a great place to land after all other events were closed down.
We are aware that the WCHS Alumni Association is working on having their annual banquet on Saturday night, the 30th. This is a good option not only to have dinner but also to see other classes that may be in town. This event is TOTALLY SEPARATE from our activities, but we do encourage attending this banquet. Invitations to the Association’s banquet will be done in a separate e-mail or mailing which will have pricing information. Again, our committee is totally separate from the Association Event.
