Join Your Classmates and Friends

HAFNERS — A Moline institution where the food is excellent and the fellowship even better--especially at lunchtime when members of the MHS class of '65 gather. Come say hello to your classmates as you share memories as well as news, tips, a joke or two, and talk about football and local sports today. 

All are welcome--join in on Wednesday, November 5th, at 11:30ish and every first Wednesday of the month in the future. Mark your calendar today and ask Alexa or Siri to remind you, too.

Classmates Helping Classmates

On both Friday and Saturday preceding our class reunion at Cityview, MHS ‘65 Classmate Cheryl Cooper, 1st Sgt, USAF Retired, and Veterans Service Officer with the American Legion, along with her husband David Castiaux CMSgt USAF Retired, will be available to speak to fellow Veterans about VA Claims and VA Healthcare.

If anyone needs help with VA or Military Pay & SBP issues, they can also answer questions or offer advice. (SBP is the Survivors Benefits Program for Retirees’ Spouses & Dependents). You can contact Cheryl at 405-642-1047 or email her at cheryl.cooper4@va.gov or vso.cheryl@yahoo.com.

Additionally, Patty Sedlock is bringing John Sedlock’s scooter to gift it to another veteran in need or to a Veterans Organization like the American Legion. 

You'll find them generously offering their time and expertise at a table at Cityview both Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4, at 6:00 pm.

Our Foreign Exchange Student -- Nazek Fahmy Habib

It's been far too long (50+ years) since we've heard much from our class exchange student, Nazek Fahmy, but Mary Parsons Caisley, her Moline host, recently met up with her in Alexandria, Egypt. It looks like a joyous reunion.  And we've been given the okay to post these pictures of them now.  Hopefully we can get a little more information later.
