Dear ’67 Classmates,

Thanks to those of you who participated in our recent planning survey for a 2023 reunion.  And if you haven't yet responded, don't worry - the survey is still active (until May 31) and we'd still like your input (go to "2023 Reunion Survey" in at the top of the yellow ribbon at the left). 

As it appears that we have a solid critical mass of people interested, your responses will be helpful for the planning committee as we draw up plans to gather next year.  We hope to be able to announce plans for a specific weekend soon, and intend to solicit your ideas for reunion events that will entice you to meet up with your old friends, so please keep watch for announcements, via e-mail and the class website, Seaholm67.com.

See you in ’23! - The Reunion Committee

In Memory of Scott Klinger

Dear Classmates,

We recently received the following message about the October passing of Scott Klinger from his widow, Nancy.  While the family chose to not publish any news, Nancy graciously provided us with the following illuminating notice (including a touch of gentle humor, to which we can relate):

“After HS, Scott spent one year at Michigan Tech studying engineering. During that time, his parents relocated to Mesa, AZ. When Scott visited them here for the first time, that was a firm farewell to the frigid MT.

“Scott retired with 35+ years of service with the General Motors Desert Proving Ground, Mesa AZ, where he was the maintenance supervisor. GM sold the Mesa Property in 2005 and were moving operations to Yuma, AZ. Shortly thereafter, he created KSW LLC Consulting and contracted as a consultant assisting them with the construction at the new location. He did that for about 7 years before finally retiring.

“His passion after retirement was anything Wi-Fi. The house runs itself from his phone. Blinds open and close, lights go on and off on their own. I'm tired of the pool pump APP telling me what's amiss. He could even start the barbecue from his phone. His hobby has become my nightmare.  

“Scott and I were together for 25 years, married for 20. He has two daughters (ages 40 & 38) that he was very proud of. His sudden, unexpected death was devastating, but we are healing with the grace of God. 

Take good care,

Nancy Klinger”

Thank you, Nancy, for providing such rich detail of Scott’s life, rekindling our memories of our classmate, and for reminding us that we need to regularly reach out to our friends. We invite you to add comments to Scott's page, if you are moved to do so.
