Lunch at Hafner's for Joanie
Axel Seefeldt and Judy Gault Bourg
We
LOVE to get together with out-of-towners that
come back to visit the Q-Cities. On April 16th a
group of locals and not-so-locals gathered for
lunch at Hafner's prompted by a visit from Joanie
Axel Seefeldt and Judy Gault Bourg.

February 2009, some of our Q-C

living in Florida. Here are a few photos shared

We
had a surprise addition to our Maid Rite
gathering on January 19th. Jim Widdop just
happened to stop by for lunch while in town. We
hope he and his wife, Linda (Elzey) '59 will both
join our informal Monday gathering some time.
If you would
like to join us, call Nancy Ross Polios, Leatha
Defebaugh Boyer, Dave Tanner, or Lee Wassenhove
for time and location. The Maid Rite on 4th
Avenue in Moline has been one of our favorite
places, but we move around. Always check with one
of us before you go.
Pictured above at
the "guy's" table on Jan 19th, are Jim
Widdop, Lee
Wassenhove, Dick Boyer (MHS'58), Al Larsen, and
Dave Tanner.

"Mr.
Thanksgiving" does it again!
Our MHS
'59 classmate, Bob Vogelbaugh, also known as
&ldquoMr. Thanksgiving&rdquo in the
Quad-Cities, held his 38th annual dinner Nov. 27
at SouthPark Mall from 4-6:30 p.m. An article
appeared in the RI Argus/Dispatch on November
14th, making a call to the community to help with
monetary donations.
Bob is
hoping to complete two more yearly events before
he "retires" from this volunteer work.

Argus/Dispatch article about Bob

Congratulations on another successful
event, Bob!!
Our Class of '59 is proud of your efforts!
The two photos above were taken at the
2008 Thanksgiving event at SouthPark Mall.

October
10th, 2008 MHS Homecoming Parade
For
the second year, our Scholarship Committee
participated in the annual homecoming parade at
MHS. This year, we went "hog wild" with
our float entry. A lot of group effort went into
the planning and building because we were
representing the class AND following the Grand
Marshal of the parade who was our own alumni
group President, Tom Seitz.
To
see more photos from this event, follow this Parade link.
