What a remarkable period of history we have experienced and what wonderful opportunities we have had! Our classmates have travelled all over the world to places we studied in history and geography classes. We have been to Europe, China, South America, Africa and who knows where else? Some of us lived in Eur- ope and one of our classmates, Peachie Schulman, has made her home in Israel. We have had wonderful careers in teaching, coaching engineering, soldiering, medicine, dentistry, law, business, accounting, banking, real estate, politics, insurance, and graphic design, to mention a few. We have been ministers, presidential aides, forensic scientists, airline pilots, rare book dealers, salesmen and women, homesteaders, therapists, college professors, physicists, builders, computer geeks, financial gurus, civil rights activists, stay-at-home parents, and much more. If there is one fictional character that defines us, it is Forest Gump. He is us, we are him and like him we have been there for the momentous events of our half-century. The years following our graduation were life changing. We suffered through three political assassinations and a war in Vietnam. We marched for the end of racial segregation and equality for all. We cheered when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, when the draft ended, and when the civil rights act of 1964 was signed into law. During our life time the the glass ceiling cracked, the Berlin Wall crumbled, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and apartheid dissolved. We have seen one president resign and another impeached. We have cried as the twin towers fell. Technology, too, has changed our lives. We went from vinyl records and reel to reel tape to 8 track and cassette tapes and from them to CDs and then iPods. We were in awe when we learned we could video tape our afternoon soap operas and watch them after work. We saw JR get shot and the rebirth of Start Trek. We witnessed the emergence of computers and the demise of typewriters. We went from three television channels to hundreds. With the advent of the world wide web the World Book became an anachronism and the USPS will soon follow. We no longer wait for the postman to bring us missives from friends and loved ones but check our email in the middle of the night when we get up to pee. Have a friend in Timbuktu, fire up your computer, iPad, or cell phone, open Skype and give her a call, for free! We are the embodiment of change. As Forest Gump is wont to say “Life is like a box of chocolates.” And we, my friends, have tasted them all. Enjoy the weekend! page 4 Seneca High School Class of '63 Susan Armbruster Mullen Spouse/Partner: Scott A. Barnaby 17 Wareham Court Scotch Plains, NJ 07576 H: 732-428-4882 Cell: 917-841-7329 [email protected] (Jun '13) Never having been much of a student, I quit UK in my junior year to move to NYC, where I lived for 39 years. I was a Typographer there for 23 years, then ran my own home-based graphic design/typesetting business. I finally returned to college at age 50, earning a degree in Corporate Communications, graduating with a 3.97 GPA! It was truly one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I then worked at a private country club in New Jersey as the buyer of the clothes in the golf shop. Not much money, but loads of fun and I was able to play golf at a beautiful course. Love to travel, most recently to Amalfi Coast, Italy, and Sonoma County, CA. My next trip will be a river cruise from Paris to Normandy in the fall. Divorced after 27 years of marriage. I now share my home with a wonderful man, a PGA professional, with whom I spend winters in Florida playing golf. In fact I recently bought a house in PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, so will be spending more time there in the future. I am active in my town home community in Scotch Plains, NJ, and served on the Board of Directors for four years. I currently administer the website for them. I am starting a new career in real estate, and just passed the NJ state exam in June. 1963: The Year Everything Happened Bob Dylan is a one-man band on "Folk Songs and More Folk Songs," Credit: Courtesy Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York page 5 Seneca High School Class of '63 Ronnie Arnold (Mary Lee) 8607 Nottingham Parkway Louisville, KY 40222 502-412-4855 [email protected] (Jun '08) After graduation, I attended WKU for two years. Served in the Air Force from 1966 to 1970 with a top secret clearance. Married (1st time in 1966). Went to work for Spalding Laundry in 1971 as Data Processing Manager. Was there for 19 years until they sold the business to National Linen. Purchased the Classie Car Wash in downtown Louisville and built a quick lube to go along with it. Sold it in 1997 and went to work for National Linen until 2005. Now doing consultant work for LG&E. Have remarried (1986) and we have a total of 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren. All siblings live in Louisville so we spend a lot of time at ballparks and school functions. Love to play golf and fish. Beverly Aron Tarbis (Gary) 5100 U.S. Highway 42, Unit 311 Louisville, KY 40241 502-553-8209 [email protected] (Jun '13) After graduating from Seneca, I went to business school and in 1966 married my high-school sweetheart, Jerry Koloms. We lived on Minot AFB, ND and Louisville, KY. After 35 years of marriage, Jerry passed away suddenly in May 2001. I remarried in February 2008, to Gary Tarbis. Our family has grown, my son, Scott (Louisville) – married with 3 children (Oliver (7) Sophia (5) and Ellie (3); a daughter, Karen (Stafford, VA)– married-no children, 3 Tarbis children inherited with marriage, Evan and Louis Tarbis and one stepdaughter, Kimberly. I worked as a secretary/legal assistant for the United States Attorney’s Office in Louisville; retired January 31, 2008. In 2010, started working again for the company Jerry had started before he passed away - our son is now running the business. Someday I hope to retire again, but I am not ready to go that route just yet. Hobby: Needlepoint and reading. page 6 Seneca High School Class of '63 Edward Harold Ashcraft (Margaret) 6391 Briarwood Ct.

Bill Bailey (Carole) 3012 Meadowview Circle Louisville, KY 40220 502 454-4800 [email protected] (Jun '08) I graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1967 with a degree in Industrial Administration, then spent several years in the Air Force Security Service (Communication Security) with tours in Iraklion, Crete (Greece) and Clark Air Base, Philippines, where I obtained my private pilot’s license at the base aero club. After my discharge, I worked at GE Appliance Park, York International in Madisonville, KY and Modine Manufacturing in Harrodsburg, KY. I am certified in lean manufacturing (UK ’97). I retired from Modine as Mana- ger of Manufacturing Engineering in 2005. My wife and I (+ four kitties) are in the process of moving back to Louis- ville from Danville, KY, as we continue to make upgrades to our Louis- ville home. We enjoy antique shows, especially ‘50s paraphernalia. I am currently serving as mayor of the City of Meadowview Estates.

  • Delivering Outcomes for Communities Training Participant Agenda | Sessions 1, 2 and 3 May-June, 2016
    DELIVERING OUTCOMES FOR COMMUNITIES TRAINING PARTICIPANT AGENDA | SESSIONS 1, 2 AND 3 MAY-JUNE, 2016 BACKGROUND President Obama has prioritized improving the way the federal government partners with citizens and local leaders. In 2009, the Administration issued guidance for federal agencies to develop a new and customized approach to working with communities. Today, federal experts increasingly work hand-in-hand with residents and community leaders to create solutions that are responsive to local ideas and concerns. Agencies across the federal government are better coordinated and interact with local government, non-profits, business and other stakeholders as one partner. This work now reaches over 1,800 rural, tribal and urban communities tackling challenges as varied as climate change to entrenched poverty. Using data to inform solutions and evaluate progress, these partnerships have led to new federal staffing models, greater focus and flexibility in federal grant-making and technical assistance—among other innovations—to promote collaboration across agencies and between the federal government and communities. These efforts are having real impact in communities. Mayor Swearengin briefed the White House Press Corps about the impact of this work in Fresno (one of the featured case studies at our training), and in April 2016 NPR’s Morning Edition explored progress made through federal partnerships with communities to help coal-mining communities in Southeastern Kentucky (a Promise Zone and one of the featured panels at this training). When asked why people continue to feel like the government isn’t doing anything for them, Promise Zone Partner Chris Green of Berea College responded, “I think it's because the government is not overt about it.

  • Position Overview
    POSITION OVERVIEW LOUISVILLE TOURISM SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT CONVENTION DEVELOPMENT (Louisville, Kentucky) ABOUT THE DESTINATION Louisville is the largest city in the state of Kentucky and the county seat of Jefferson County. Louisville is southeasterly situated along the border between Kentucky and Indiana, the Ohio River, in north-central Kentucky at the Falls of the Ohio. The Louisville metropolitan area is often referred to as Kentuckiana because it includes counties in Southern Indiana. A resident of Louisville is referred to as a Louisvillian. Although situated in a Southern state, Louisville is influenced by both Southern and Midwestern culture. Once referred to as “The Gateway to the South,” Louisville has its own unique brand of “southerness” and is sometimes referred to as either one of the northernmost Southern cities or as one of the southernmost Northern cities in the United States. Wherever you place it, it is Bourbon City, Derby City and River City all at once. Louisville is many things - original, eclectic, historic, dynamic, and above all…authentic. You could spend a lifetime getting to know our city, the people, the neighborhoods, the culture, and the history that make Louisville truly original. LOUISVILLE – A WAY OF LIFE… North, south, east, or west – Louisville offers a wealth of attractions and fantastic historic architecture in every direction. The striking local landscape includes six tree-lined parkways and 18 parks designed by New York’s Central Park planner Frederick Law Olmsted. One of only five Olmsted park systems in existence, Louisville is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The city’s public parks include playgrounds, swimming and wading pools, basketball courts, baseball fields, football fields, hockey rinks, recreation centers, horseback riding and more than 30 miles of bike lanes throughout the city.

We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons.
