LEE RIEGLER (September 29, 1944 - September 9, 2023)

We lost Lee on September 9^th. Lee was our Class Vice President. Over the years, he helped plan many class reunions, including our 50th Gala Reunion. He and Ruth, his wife of 58 years, had two children and eight grandchildren. I was pleased to attend his visitation with Roger Hartmann and Denny Nugent to offer our condolences to Ruth and her family. May Lee rest in peace!

THERESA MARIE SLATER (August 17, 1946 - October 13, 2023)

Terry was struck by polio at age 7. She was hospitalized for several months and not only went on to relearn how to walk but also how to dance. Then, she became an avid tennis player. 

In September of 1966, she married the love of her life, Dixon Slater. They raised two daughters - Wendy and Jenny. Despite her many family obligations, she still found time to serve others as President of her Parish Council, host many Bunco Parties, and was the organizer for a St. Jude School fundraiser. 

I was pleased that Dixon and Terry could attend our 60^th Reunion dinner in 2022. We will miss Terry, and our sincere condolences go out to Dixon and his family.

HOMECOMING 2023: 

Members of the Class of ’62 have attended all Bremen’s Homecomings since 2012. This year, Mary Lou (Daly) Pisone and I were the only attendees since we didn't have time to submit a Hall of Fame nominee. 

• Once again, we attended the pregame Pep Rally in the old gym and rode in the Homecoming Parade tossing out candy to the children along the parade route - what fun! :-)

• Then, we were thrilled to see Bremen's Varsity Football team dominate and beat undefeated Thornton Fractional North! This victory made Homecoming special for the staff and students -- well done Braves! 

I'm also pleased to report that we have a Hall of Fame candidate for next year, so I hope many more of you can join us in September 2024.
