Classmates: It's me again! I want to let you know that Sharon Philpott Haugen's brother Mike Philpott, age 77 passed away last Saturday, 8/26/23 in Arizona where he lived. She said she does not want any phone calls but since he was quite an athlete and played with some of our classmates she wanted you all to know! I have no details about his passing other than in the last few years he's had many health issues! If you feel like sending her a card I'm sure she would appreciate it! Sharon Haugen, 2200 Filmore Avenue, Ames, Iowa 50010! Please keep Sharon and her brother and their families in your prayers. May Mike Rest in Peace.
Thanks for letting us know about Mike Philpott - I remember Sharon speaking about his health issues. She was so close to her sibling and am sure their family is grieving his passing.

Jerry Rees and other 1961 graduates I just renewed our website for another three years! I'm considering a ONE DAY reunion on a Saturday with a meet and greet get together and a dinner on Saturday evening in 2024! I would love to know if classmates have a preference as to what time of the late summer or early Fall! Please let me hear from you all! Happy Belated Birthday Jerry!!
I'd love to find that card! Carole and I are only 4 more days away. We will be in Naples Florida the week of Thanksgiving celebrating with our kids and grandkids. So will be loving it.
Sharon, Bill & I aren't sure we are going to be able to get back to Iowa in 2024. We are hoping to book a river cruise trip to the Normandy beaches late summer or early fall. We have postponed making this decision until I had anti-inflammatory injections in both hips last week and see if I got adequate pain relief.....so far so good and I am sleeping and walking so much better. I will be able to have the shots every 3 months, if necessary. I am trying to avoid double hip replacement surgery. We will be in touch if we are able to get to Iowa.
