DENISON ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION
DENTON LUNCH BUNCH
Meeting Notes
January 11, 2012
Gene Gohlke opened our meeting with prayer.
Lots of tasty food, many great folks to visit with, new members,
door prizes, and several informative announcements—describes our
first meeting for 2012. Oh, I forgot to mention, any meeting with
the ladies present, is a great one!
Two of our best members, Don Newby ('50) and Barbara Cunningham
('51) were back from their cold northeastern home. Welcome home, Don
and Barbara, we certainly missed you. Don brought copies of old
newspaper articles from our high school days that he gave to several
members. Some of them were from the 40's and 50's—nice to remember
those days.
Donna Hunt ('53) will have knee surgery January 24 in Denison. Also,
Curt and Chris Stogsdill were assisting Senior Citizens in Denton
and could not be with us today.
Joann Cravens sent a "Thank You" note to the group expressing the
family's appreciation for the nice memorial gift sent to the Alumni
Association in Joe's memory. Joann is at their home in Nederland.
Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
Martin Wineinger gave a brief summary of the meeting he attended for
planning the Spring Fling for 2013. More information will follow as
2013 approaches.
The door prizes for January were won by Nelda Perdue and Jerry
Duggan.
We were honored to have Paula Clark Blind ('60) and her husband,
Walter. Paula has been an educator for many years in Denton.
Welcome, Paula and Walter.
