1963 NORTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

INTRODUCTION:  Over the last four months, North Siders have contributed to the web page, and the newsletter committee appreciates your participation.  We have received class pictures from the past, responses to where many of you spend the winter, and comments to share with fellow classmates.  The newsletter is averaging 70 to 80 hits over a 30 day period, which is quite impressive.  Please continue the communication by sending  any ideas, school pictures, or questions you may have to Steve Heine, heine4019@hotmail.com or Pat Lewton Horoho, phoroho@comcast.net.   This is your newsletter, and the committee looks forward to your input.

MARCH 15 DINNER:  24 people attended the March 15 dinner at Hall’s Guest House.  We announced the Sweet Breeze River Cruise (see below).  We opened the floor for future tours such as Auburn-Cord Duesenberg, Electric Works, and Sweetwater Sound.  Other ideas include touring downtown prominent churches, the Courthouse, and the Landing.   We also talked about touring downtown Fort Wayne during the 60th reunion. 

Also, we discussed the grand opening of the Promenade Park on June 21.  The Riverfront Development is divided into three phases with Promenade Park as phase 1.  Click on the link below.

SWEET BREEZE RIVER CRUISE:  Several classmates have arranged for us to take a Riverboat cruise on June 17, 2019.  Following are details about the trip:

  • It will begin at 10:30 a.m. and last 1 ½ hours.
