Dear Mary Ellen, Exciting to hear that you are concerned about the FHS stained glass windows. If you are talking about how the entire class of 1956 can help, the first way would be to spread the word about the '66 website address (www.fairview66.org) and the Windows Page information on the site. Secondly, if you have connections to your class representative who has your class contact list, the windows committee could send out information to your classmates if we had a copy of that list or we can give you specific information to send to your class. We can use all the help we can get. You may contact me directly at wishingstar@columbus.rr.com. Donations may be made from the windows donation page on the '66 website. I appreciate your concerns about the windows. Thank you for writing! Jeri Jones Bland, FHS '66 |

Hello graduates of Fairview High School. I'm with the Class of '65. Even though I didn't graduate with the class of '65, I grew up with all who were a part of the years from '61-65. In fact, some classmates date back to grade school, Fairview Elem. The "Steiner" family dates back to the late 50's and 60's. My brothers, Fred, '61 and Doug, '69 (I think) played football, basketball and baseball for many years. My sister, Connie, '59, was a cheerleader for 3 years and was always part of the Maypole dancing group. She was also a member of the Ace High club! I played the saxophone in the concert and marching band and attended band camp for 3 years. Remember Mr. Griep, our band leader? He led our Scotchettes, Majorettes, drill team and band to many years of marching formations during half-time of football games at "Welcome Stadium". One year, we were invited to Cleveland, to strut our stuff during half-time at one of the Cleveland Browns game! What an honor! (I forget who the opposing team was?) Good times!! I'll have to write more about Fairview and all that happened throughout the years another time. But this brings back many memories. Thank you! Anita (Steiner) Kinderman |

| You have an impressive website and it was fun to read about the "upper classpeople" with whom I was so impressed in my HS days. Our class of 1968 has had a reunion every 5 years since our 20th and we maintain communication with many of our classmates. Some of us here in Dayton still see each other frequently. Will check this site our periodically , as well as the site of '68, to see what's going on. | |||

| For all my classmates, you all have done a great job in capturing the spirit and the energy of the Class of 66. I've been away from Dayton since 1981 when I moved our family to Scottsdale, AZ, then on to Denver, CO in 1993. I have been back a few times to visit remaining family, but have never taken the initiative to make contact with any of the class. Sounds odd for the one voted "Boy with the best school spirit '66". But life is so full of twists and turns. The latest being the discovery of this site. I'm hoping to re-kindle some of the friendships from long ago. Thanks you all on the committee for making this possible. | |||

I'm delighted to have stumbled across this website - I moved away to California in 1964, so I did not graduate with the 1966 class. But I've often wondered what happened to the wonderful people I knew. Hope to hear from some of you. |

| This site is wonderful!! I am so impressed with all the efforts that you folks are making to keep your class and Fairview alive! I was in the class of '67 and had lost contact with just about everybody and thankfully have recently reconnected with several people. That reconnection and visiting this site has flooded me with memories. Thank you so much. | |||

I remember so many of you from band and other school activities. You have a great site and way to communicate. My long-time friend Bob Englert told me about this so I took the opportunity to check it out and I’m glad I did.
Best wishes always.

| What a wonderful tribute to my alma mater, class of 67. My dad, Jim Binkley, was an English teacher at Fairview. Dan Wolfe contacted me to find Dad. Sadly he died 5 years ago, but next week Dan plans to talk with my mom who is in Beavercreek visiting family. Dad loved FHS and he would be proud to be remembered. | |||

| To all- Does anyone else remember when we were freshman, and Jack Berkmeier did the morning announcements, and came on and said "Good morning FHS, Today is S-H-I-T, Sure Happy It's Thursday"- and the loudspeaker went dead. It was a great introducton the humor of FHS! Andy | |||

What can I say? Words cannot express the emotions I am feeling especially when I saw pictures of Mr. Bruggeman, my Beginning French and Etymology teacher. The students in the class of 1966 might have been some of his first students but I was one of his last at Fairview. Oh, the memories of trying french dishes prepared by fellow students and learning the Greek alphabet. Don't ask me to recite them now!! The pictures of the 11/11/2009 Field Trip brought so much joy and sorrow to me since our school is slated for the wrecking ball later this year. I wish I could have been there. There is only one thing to say: "Add a webpage with links to other Fairview alumni sites, i.e., Facebook's Fairview listing, etc. and a page for alumni and staff that are no longer with us". Other than that, my heartfelt thanks for letting me relive some of my fondest memories of the greatest high school in Dayton. |

Jeri: I have just finished catching up on all the additions that have been made to the site and it's content. Boy, my hat is off to you folks who have transformed the Fairview66 site from a vision to what it is today: a wonderful link to our common past. Please also pass along my thanks to Dan Wolfe for his great story of a visit with Mr. Bruggeman, a teacher who made a difference to him. I marvel at the talent, creativity and dedication that continues to pour forth from our classmates. It was an honor to attend FHS with you all and I'll bet Nancy Marker would be as proud of you as I am. My very best regards, Marc |

It is wonderful to hear from you and hope we can get more classmates to make an entry on this page. Having many entries would be an interesting addition for other classmates. It's a great way to keep in touch with everyone. Again, so good to hear from you and thanks for writng an entry! Come on classmates — let's hear from you! As Marlene said, we may be 61 but we are the "new" 41. So let's show it. Go Bulldogs!! |

Thanks to Mike Levitt - I just heard about the new website. It is really terrific. Thanks to all who have worked so hard to make this such a user friendly site. I look forward to checking in often to learn what people are up to. It is hard to believe that we are now 61 - but I guess since 60 is the new 40 - we are really only 41!!! |
