Shirley Wehr (Quastler) (1964)
Posted on behalf of Roger Dickerson & Maggie Vestal Owen, 1964 Reunion Co-Chairs
KUDOS
Well-deserved appreciation goes to these 1964 - 50th Reunion committee members.
Shirley (Wehr) Quastler has been a strong leader for 7 years and the driving force for: (1) our reunion picnics, (2) our October SMW ‘all school’ 50th anniversary celebration with the first 3 classes, and (3) the easy-to-use SMW class website. She is taking well-deserved step back but has continued to serve as an invaluable mentor and advisor to the committee.
Susan (Pelton) Miller spearheaded the time and resource consuming task of making all the photo nametags for each event. Also, Susan provided website input, updates and other services.
Art Miller is a valued long-term member of the committee, offering good ideas, and was our contact with the class of ’63 since he also co-chaired the October 12, 2013 all-school reunion event.
Bonnie (Angerman) Gwinn was the liaison for the Camelot Ballroom venue and headed our decorations yet again, doing a superb job on both events. She was lucky to have Val (Anderson) Marker assisting with the July event. She really pitched in too.
Steve Renz, despite knowing that he might not be able to attend, contributed his time, ideas, his home for a meeting - and he donated the bottled water and paper supplies for the July party.
Cheryl (Dufur) Tyrrell served in the demanding role of our secretary during our lively, talk-filled meetings. Her notes and comments were very useful as references on decisions and finance.
Charles Laundy didn’t wear a green eyeshade but he did a great job as our Treasurer and was always there with the financial details. He didn’t hesitate to pitch in wherever he was needed.
Nancy Hagemann put in a lot of legwork by being our contact person with Hayward’s, bringing food samples to a committee meeting, staying in contact with Phil Jay about our music choices, and handling the order for our desert cookies. Earlier this spring, Nancy and Carol (Noble) Massieon tried out some cupcake options but the production and timing became unmanageable. Nancy also introduced us to the beer named after our class by the Miller Brewing Co., Miller ’64, which was discovered by Jean Kaye (Jennings) Cook.
Don Osborne served as co-emcee, organizing and overseeing some of the details of the party such as helping with our music selections. Don has shown great expertise with the grill and cooking duties at some of our previous picnics.
