CHS class of `61 together again

July 20, 2011

Culver High School’s class of 1961 held its 50th reunion last month on a Saturday afternoon and evening at the VFW Post (6919) in Culver. Members, of course, swapped stories, laughs, and remembrances of deceased members. Gary Dillon, emceeing the evening’s proceedings, listed those members, which included Everell “Corky” Walter, Jerry Kimmel, Pat McFeeley, Leo Lojewski, Lance Overmyer, John Hook, Sharon Spahr, Chris (Croy) Whitmarsh, Bobby Sherwood, William and Roger Sheppard. Stories of Overmyer, who passed away shortly before the reunion, were shared by classmates and teachers alike.

If these walls could talk: 203 and 117 S. Main

We continue our series of semi-regular journeys through Culver’s past as we look at the lives of historic buildings in the Culver area.
This week, besides the fact that this series is back after a bit of a lack-of-space-induced hiatus, we’ve reached a bit of a milestone: we’ve concluded our stroll down the east side of Main Street in the downtown area (maybe someday we’ll look at houses or other buildings on Main, south of the downtown area). Instead, we’re doing an imaginary 360-turn as we cross the street and begin a walk northwards on the west side of the street.

Culver is hopping this weekend!

It's Lakefest weekend in Culver (!), but there's a great deal else happening as well. From the Moonlight Serenade to the Sunfish Regatta, from a VFW sale to the Kiwabis golf scramble...plenty, plenty to do on the shores of Lake Max in coming days!
