Does anyone know of the Abfalter Family that resided in Calumet ?

My Dad used to have a boss at Detroit Edison named Ed Abfalter (down in Detroit, MI), and he was from Calumet.

Recently my Dad asked me if I knew anyone with the last name of Abfalter - so I am just curious (for him).

I believe he would have been and Electrical Engineer with D.E., at the time (like my Dad).

Greetings fellow Calumet Alumni and in particular classmates of 1983. This is a neat message board and a good way to catch up with individuals from the region.

I still make it up at least once a year. We had a really good turn out for our 20 year reunion last summer.

What is up with so many locals not making it? Come on you locals, I am sure the classmates that travel hundreds of miles to make it to Calumet would like to see you.

Best Regards to all, Mike

I would have been with CHS class of 67, but moved in 66. Anyone know where I can pick up a copy of a 66 or 67 CHS yearbook? Would be interested in hearing from some of the Florida Street bunch...or class of 66, 67.

I just got back home from spending the weekend in North Carolina - I attended the funeral of my best friend who was killed in Iraq last Monday. Staff Sergeant Paul Joseph Johnson - "PJ" or "Peej" - CHS Class of '91 was one of the best people I've ever met - a natural born leader and just a great person. Below are just some of the over 30 Medals and Citations he received during his time as a member of the 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division:

2 Bronze Stars for bravery under hostile fire
2 NATO Medals
3 Humanitarian Service Medals
2 National Defense Service Medals
3 Good Conduct Medals
French Parachutist Badge
Russian Parachutist Badge
Combat Infantryman's Badge
Ranger tab
Airborne tab
Senior Jumpmaster Badge
Purple Heart

He served in many places, many conflicts:

Haiti
Sarajevo
Afghanistan
Iraq

....and more that he couldn't tell us about

Please take a few minutes to remember this great man and all of our armed forces, please thank them - they don't hear it enough. Tonight, when you say your prayers, say one for his wife and 4 year old boy who really miss "Daddy"

God, I miss him...

By Marion Rosemergy /Ohio on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 11:42 pm:

Hi Clara from Texas,

I am Danny's sister and cousin to Billy, Roger, and Marilyn. What was your maiden name so I can tell Marilyn you asked..I just finished talking to her..She lives in L'anse. This is so much fun talking to people from our past..love to hear from you.


By Clara, TX on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 01:34 pm:

Marion, which Rosemergy family are you from? I went to school with Billy, Danny, Roger and Marilyn. We were all in the same grade. Clara


By Marion Rosemergy Zoellner on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 12:47 am:

To Barbara Bayles,
Thanks for the kind note. I am so glad that I was able to make you feel better at the dental office. I wish we could go back to those days..I loved working there and taking care of all our patients..(except for not having novacaine to fill teeth..things have really changed today in the dental field..thank goodness.) :o) What year did you graduate from school..I am trying to place you. Drop me a note sometime. I think of home often..I miss the U.P.and all the beautiful scenery.


By Barbara Bayles King Redmond ,Wa on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 02:59 pm:

Hi Marion Rosemary,
I remember you as the very sweet dental assistant to Dr Anthony when I was a kid growing up in Laurium! I can still see and smell the office so vividly in my mind. And at "50 something" that is pretty good! I remember sqweezing your little hand so tight when he gave me a shot of "novocaine"(sp), which he only would give you when he extracted a tooth. And I had a few. That needle was enormous! I never had a tooth FILLED with anesthetic as his patient, he didn't believe in it for fillings. My Dentist today finds that hard to believe! You were a sweet comfort to many terrified little ones that sat in that chair. Dr Anthony didn't make me afraid of the "Dentist" though. Maybe I have a high pain tolerance! No really, I trusted him. He did a great job........ I still have all my teeth! Hope to see you at the all school reunion next month!


By Mary RaisanenGoddard on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 10:48 pm:

So many memories from Charles Briggs School! Mrs. Rosemergy, 2nd grade, was my favorite teacher, I think it was about the late 40's. I remember how someone had to walk outside and ring the bell before school started. I feel so fortunate to have attended that little school!


By Marion Rosemergy Zoellner from Ohio on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 12:48 am:

Hi to Jim Anthony,

I am a voice from the past. Reading all of these notes from everyone has been so much fun and a great trip down memory lane. I remember the wonderful days of working as your dad's dental assistant..He was such a wonderful man and also the most courageous and "stubborn" man i have ever met. :o) I would love to hear from you and I hope you well and happy.

Nothing formal is being planned for class of 64 for this year, next year plans are in the works for the 40th.


By Patricia Landman on Wednesday, June 11, 2003 - 09:49 am:

Is anything planned for the class of '64 during
the upcoming all-class reunion?


By Gary Olds, St Louis MO on Tuesday, June 3, 2003 - 10:58 pm:

Like Peggy, I remember Mrs Bovee as my Morrison school kindergarten teacher. She had the patience of a saint. I recall vividly the tables we sat at and the little chairs. Amazingly I even recall the layout of the room...and playing with those great wooden puzzles. Fun memories of nearly a half century ago. If now I could only remember where I put my car keys this afternoon.


By Peggy O'Neil, Florida on Tuesday, June 3, 2003 - 11:47 am:

Mrs. Bovee was my Kindergarten teacher at the Morrison School more years ago than I will admit.


By Virginia Niemi, WI on Monday, June 2, 2003 - 02:49 pm:

Can anyone tell me where I can get a T-shirt that says American Made with Finnish parts.

Thank you very much.
Virginia Jurmo Niemi


By Anita Paskvan King, Michigan on Thursday, May 29, 2003 - 12:58 pm:

Will there be an all class reunion this year? Heard rumors it will be happening around July 18th? I plan to be in the U.P. around then. Hope to see a lot of classmates!!


By Tim R. on Tuesday, May 27, 2003 - 01:11 pm:

Mrs. Bovee was principal of Charles Briggs also. She used to start songs with her whistle to get the tune.


By Jim Anthony Negaunee,MI on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 02:00 pm:

Hello anybody. Is there a web site to find out who has registered for the all school reunion. I would like to see how many of my classmates of 1956 from CHS are registered. Thanks.


By Marion Hoganson Gilles Lake Linden, Mi on Wednesday, May 21, 2003 - 12:00 pm:

Hey class of 1963, looking forward to seeing all of you at the class reunion this summer. It will be 40 years for our class..where did that time go?
Anyone know the where abouts of Jackie Wuopio? We are still searching for several class mates, hopefully we can reach all of them either by e-mail or snailmail.


By Yooper in Indiana on Monday, May 19, 2003 - 11:03 am:

wasn't flora sandlin followed by lucy geirson (sp)?


By Virginia Jurmo Niemi on Friday, May 16, 2003 - 11:19 pm:

THE PRINCIPAL OF CHARLES BRIGGS SCHOOL WAS MISS SANDELIN. I DON'T KNOW WHO FOLLOWED HER. HI TO JIM ANTHONY, BARBARA BAYLES, AND TERRI TORMEN.


By Sandy GreifLeFevre, Phoenix, AZ on Thursday, May 1, 2003 - 07:08 pm:

By Patricia Landman on Wednesday, April 9, 2003 - 08:19 am:

Does anyone have an e-mail address for
Jerry Fosness?


By Tim R. on Tuesday, April 8, 2003 - 12:41 pm:

I remember Bullet and the other janitor Mr. Lucchesi (sp?) at Charles Briggs. Mr. Lucchesi always seemed to smile, Bullet was more serious (intimidating) as I recall.


By lk, MI on Monday, April 7, 2003 - 12:41 pm:

The last year that Morrisson school held classes, was the 1996-1997 school year. The 1-5th grades then moved into the new elementary school, (which is connected to the high school) and the kindergarteners, now go to school in Mohawk. The old Mohawk Elementary school. I was in one of the last classes in Briggs school. I went there in '75 and '76. Then, "Bullets" was standing by the radiator everyday when we went in. He was the janitor.


By EM,MI on Saturday, April 5, 2003 - 09:06 am:

Morrison School has been turned over to Coppertown and will become the new home of the museum.


By J LABONTE on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 08:40 pm:

TONY LOCATELLI IS THE OWNER OF THE CHARIES BRIGGS SCHOOL HAVE A GOOD DAY


By DC, MI on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 04:11 pm:

Hi all of you Charles Briggs kids, Did any of you go to John Duncan just a block north of Charles Briggs? I started school there then Charles Briggs and then on to Washington School and finished in the class of '52' at the high school. DC Florida Location


By Yooper in Indiana on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 11:19 am:

What was wrong with the teachers like Lucy,Flora,Hatti,Mrs Foster,Mrs Lobb,Lucy Lang,the Sullivan sisters, Ida Blum,,and others as well,,you must not have cared for the disciplin. It is too bad that there are not teachers that care today, like there were in the 40's and 50's,,,,maybe the kids of today would should more respect to others and to their country!


By Tammy, Oregon on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 11:06 am:

Morrison school was still in operation when I was there as a 5th then 6th grader in '68/'69 & '69/'70. Does anyone on this discussion board know what year it actually stopped having classes?


By Patricia Landman on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 09:04 am:

Morrison has not yet sunk! Can't believe they
were saying that back in the '40's. I went 1-6
grades there and that was in the late 50's. As
of this summer it's still standing!


By Clara, TX on Thursday, April 3, 2003 - 08:47 am:

I sure remember Miss Grierson. She used to line us up in two columns in the cloak room and walk down the middle sniffing to see if anyone was eating anything. I was terrified of her. I can't remember the principal's name. She lived next door to the school.


By tlm on Wednesday, April 2, 2003 - 07:59 pm:

I think the Morrison School was used for kindergarten thru maybe 6th grade all the way through the '50s. Then the kids all went to Washington School. Same with Charles Briggs. Beginning the seventh grade in Washington School, we had a bunch of "new" faces.


By Nadine/Vermont on Wednesday, April 2, 2003 - 05:14 pm:

Someone recently made reference to the Morrison
School. I attended kindergarten there during
1943-44. We were sent to the Washington School for 1st grade because the Morrison School was sinking, or at least that's what we were told.
To my knowledge it was never used for classes after that. Drove by last July and it's still there!


By GR on Wednesday, April 2, 2003 - 04:54 pm:

My memories of Charles Briggs are Lucy Gearson(sp)& Ethel Sullivan. Not Pleasant!


By Tim R. on Tuesday, April 1, 2003 - 12:50 pm:

The Charles Briggs fence is almost like a poured structure, seems like stampsand was used in the mixture the way the texture is. Did you play "rocks" where you sit on the fence where the steps go through at the school entrance and playground entrance and try to toss rocks into the pipes which come out of the ends? We used to play marbles in the alley by the fire escape. Not sure of the status of Morrison but it seems they are going to put something in there.


By tlm on Tuesday, April 1, 2003 - 11:38 am:

Tim R

Thanks for the info.

There was some talk of converting the old Morrison School in Calumet to apartments or condos. Anything more ever happen with that?

I also heard that there was a concern about the basic stability of the empty structure as it was reportedly sinking.


By Patricia Landman on Tuesday, April 1, 2003 - 08:26 am:

I attended Briggs only for kindergarten but I
have a vivid memory of it. especially the play-
ground and the brick fencing around. or was just
the building brick? then off the Morrison.


By Tim R. on Tuesday, April 1, 2003 - 06:58 am:

Charles Briggs still stands, lonely but proud. I believe it is currently owned by a local (Laurium) contractor, don't want to give his name as I am not positive. I walk past there quite often.


By tlm on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 10:35 pm:

Call me mixed-up but I'm pretty sure that the Charles Briggs School building was torn down some time ago. Maybe someone in Laurium can verify and post here?


By Barbara Bayles King Redmond, Wa on Sunday, March 30, 2003 - 02:28 am:

I still remember naps on little mats in Mrs Ronkinin's (not sure if I spelled her name correctly) kindergarten class. She was a sweet lady. Can we tour Charles Briggs during the reunion?


By Tim R. on Thursday, March 27, 2003 - 12:53 pm:

Charles Briggs still has the alphabet on the kindergarten room floor as far as I know. Last time I was in there was the summer of 1993.


By Terri - Lansing MI on Monday, March 24, 2003 - 07:28 pm:

Hi, Jack , Nadine and Virginia and the rest of Cal-Hi class of 56. Hope to see you all at the reunion in July. We will be at Laclabelle for the month of July at the old camp.

HI Virginia Jurmo Niemi,
This is that little pest who lived next door to you growing up in Laurium many moons ago!
How are you? Maybe I will run into you again at the reunion this summer.I am still out in the Seattle area. Our kiddos are out of the nest and we now have four grandkids. I tell them about attending Charles Briggs and the "Buggy Swings" your sister Vicky and I made on the swingset and enormous playground. Remember the recess bell? Wonder what ever happened to that thing?


By Nadine/Vermont on Monday, March 17, 2003 - 03:07 pm:

Happy Thanksgiving to all CHS alumni!
Anyone out there have fond memories of marching band with John Lehto? Check out www.mininggazette.com Local news for Nov 27th. Those of you still in the Copper Country why don't you stop in and wish him well. It would be nice for those of us that live far away to drop him a line. I'm sure The Country Squire, Sheldon Ave, Houghton, MI 49931 would be enough to get there.
You all have a wonderful Holiday Season.

This is a blast from the past! My husband, Phil Hart (Rev. Charles Hart's nephew)-(the Troll)is the one who keeps tabs on Pasty.Com and he was telling me about this site. Ron Mixon, what a treat to read your name. I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I don't even know when you lost your folks or how your sister Patty is doing, but my sister Jan said she checked this out and hoped to hear from you. We just, Feb 28th, lost our mom (Martha Hillstrom Hocking Bryan) in Fort Myers, FL. We miss her very much, but we know her suffering is over and she is with the Lord (it has been almost 32 years since we lost our dad, Simon (Bud) Hocking). We had some great family time. All four of the sisters (we lost our brother John in 76) were able to be together to celebrate mom with some of the grandchildren. For all of the class of 68 out there, my mailing address is 311 Rimrock Court, Grand Junction, CO 81503. I am assuming that Don Poshak is planning or at least part of the group planning the next reunion. Be in touch.


By Bob Forsberg on Wednesday, March 20, 2002 - 11:45 am:

Hey Ray--------

Happy to see some one else from the class of 55 is still 'above ground'. Only three more years 'till our 50th reunion. Were not that old, are we???

Just received mail from Don and Fay (Cook) Garon this morning. They are doing well. The next time I'm in God's country, I'll give you a holler.

Scroll down this list and you will find Ron Mixon.

Hi,

I will be in Hancock at the Heritage Center on Tue. April 9 at 1:00 o'clock for a talk on Finnish literature and the translating work I've been doing for several years now. And for an autographing session at the North Wind Bookstore afterwards. Can any of you make the long trek from Calumet -- if the topic interests you?

Hey!! Had fun last month at the Class o' '91 reunion. Glad to see all of you there who showed up. I was also pleased that nobody's appendages were replaced by penguins and none of you flung shoes of used macaroni at the walls. Walls don't need that kind of abuse. Neither does the macaroni for that matter. Perhaps I'll catch some of you around the holidays. Have fun!


By ROSIE CARLSON TEDDY on Monday, September 3, 2001 - 11:20 am:

Are there any "hams" in Calumet, Laurium, Keweenaw who would like to set up a sked with me. I am from Mohawk originally and started out as K8SXS, graduate of CHS class of '51.

I am now in Jackson, TN, my wife's hometown. My age is 67 and I am a retired CPO, USN, 1951-55; 56-72 (20 + years). My son John Jr is now a retired CPO living in Grand Bay, AL with his family. He retired in December '99 at age42.

I belong a net which meets at 12noon-1PM EST on 14.283Mhz on Tues and Thurs following the Pearl Harbor Survivor's net. If any ham from up there (especially Mohawk) would check in, I would gladly move off frequency and have a ragchew.

Thanks, John E Saari

By Martha Bergh-Lantz, Mishawaka, Indiana on Monday, April 23, 2001 - 07:20 pm:

I'll ask the same question as Don LaVergne did on February 4. Does anyone know if a 20 year reunion is being planned this summer for the class of 1981?? I figured that since there was a 10 year reunion, that there would be a 20 year reunion, but I haven't heard a thing and thought that I would have by now if anything was in the works.


By Lori Koski Mihelich - Kenosha, WI on Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 09:03 am:

Looking for class of '78 grads and future reunions - could'nt make the 20 year.


By Carolyn, Arizona on Monday, March 19, 2001 - 02:41 pm:

I was upset that not many of the kids from the class of 75 wanted a class reunion. Here they took all the time to plan it and then hardly anyone wanted to come. It would have been our 25th. I was living in Michigan then, but now I am in Arizona, and I don't know when I will be able to make it again. I hope the class of 75 will not forget each other.


By Naomi,East Lansing,Michigan on Tuesday, March 13, 2001 - 10:38 pm:

I would love to hear from anyone from my class 1996........Or anyone else I knew from Calumet High so e-mail me !
I would love to keep in touch~

By Don LaVergne, Monroe,MI on Sunday, February 4, 2001 - 06:17 pm:

Does anyone know if there will be a 20 year class reunion for Class of '81 Calumet High School this year?


By Ken Lassila Mohawk Mi on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 - 02:39 pm:

How many ou there remember the class of 44? Didn't
graduate with the class ( some Navy time ) but did graduate, a couple of years later.. Just wondering !!


By Pete Woon, Indiana on Friday, December 22, 2000 - 10:22 am:

Anyone know my Dad, Delbert Woon? He would have graduated around '44. His father was Norman Woon, Pastor of the Congregational church around that time.


By Ronald Mixon Sr. on Wednesday, November 29, 2000 - 10:37 am:

Hawaii here we come. My wife Helen and I are going to see Hawaii for the first time on Dec. 9-16. We will travel by air and cruise the Islands on the ms Patriot United States Lines vacation. Helen continues her life in spite of cancer, taking each day at a time. The Lord sustains her. Thanks for your prayers.

Hi to any members of SHHS class of 1937. Rita
(harter) and I are still enjoying our retirement
in the paradise of the Pacific (Hawaii). We had
plans to attend the reunion but our plane
reservations got fouled up. Also the Americcin
was not very accomodating. I check in on
pasty.com everyday. We always keep some in the
freezer torebake when the urge overcomes us. Hope
to hear from any of our classmates.


By Marge Therrian, WI on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 03:38 pm:

By Lucy Walman Hermanson, Texas on Wednesday, August 30, 2000 - 12:52 am:

Wow, how neat to see a name I recognize - Gail Hooker! I only attended school in Calumet for 6th through 10th grades (class of '74), but still have many fond memories. I would love to get in touch with anyone who might remember those days! I've lived out of the area for most of the last 26 years, so have really been out of touch. I'm really hoping to visit the U.P. next summer - I'm just too homesick to wait any longer!!!


By Ronald J. Mixon Sr. on Saturday, August 19, 2000 - 09:08 pm:

Had a great time at my 45 year class reunion. I graduated in 1955. Missed my old buddies Bob Forsberg and Bill Sincock. Would like all to keep my wife Helen in your prayers as we learned 08/14/00 her breast cancer has moved to her liver. She is in stage four with the cancer in the bones since 1997. The good Lord continues to sustain her.


By Gail Hooker Mills-Connecticut on Wednesday, August 9, 2000 - 03:07 pm:

Sorry I couldn't make it to the Reunion! I really had hoped I could. Family and committments made it impossible. Iwould, however, like to be kept abreast of any future events. I miss Calumet and always welcome an opportunity to visit.
(Gail Hooker Mills - Class of '74)


By Al Harjala on Monday, August 7, 2000 - 07:15 pm:

And Jay Rowe, it was great to talk to you about the geneology thing - could not make it Saturday night to the last jam session but will the next time. Anyone in my class who wants to chat, let me know. I can't believe that everyone from our class still looks the same as they did back then but they do! We must be special!!!


By Jack, Hawaii on Sunday, July 30, 2000 - 04:01 pm:

Ok, Phylis Locatelli...... Congratulations, and a warm ALOHA to Tony. Does he still drive that old Packard in the parades?


By Dave Smith, California on Sunday, July 30, 2000 - 02:54 pm:

YOWZA!! What a fabulous reunion! Many thanks to all who worked so hard to make it possible! Playing in the Alumni Band was a slice! I would like to urge all of you who used to play in the band to dust off those old instruments and "Just Do It" for the 2003 Reunion. (I hadn't played for 37 years...but it does come back to you with some practice.) Only problem with visiting the Copper Country: I ate too many pasties...again!
