Saginaw Supes Walk-Up Reunion-2023

The annual Walk-Up Reunion Rite continued with 35 Saginaw friends getting together this Sunday at Woodholme Country Club for some gab, some grub, and lots and lots of laughs recollecting those good old days from Oxford, Pennsylvania. 

Once we got through the task of registration, payment of the walk around fee, and the always humbling task of trying to get the stick-on name tags to adhere, we were ready to rock n’ roll.  Next year we are requesting a budget increase to pay for laminated name tags we can hang around our necks.

Like all Jewish festivities we had some light drinks to begin followed by fresh cut fruit appetizer plate and then a choice of a delectable omelet, the healthy salad with grilled chicken, a hearty turkey club sandwich, or a juicy burger  from the Woodholme grill.  A fine Black and White Sheet Cake with the original Saginaw Logo was the dessert chaser.

Hank being as convincing as ever…even without a lanyard and a whistle

There was a nice intro from his Zeus-ness acknowledging the work of Peep and Maddie in capably organizing the affair and thanking Jack Wilen for sponsoring our presence at Woodholme once again.

Peep Cohen making a point regarding the Saginaw Supes Website

This was followed by a Saginaw Supes Website Primer/Review from Moe explaining how to reach and navigate the website successfully as well as a pitch for more content to sweeten this pie. 

We miss Lillian Cohen who passed this year but this couple has been reunited and I am sure Herb and Lillian are keeping a watchful eye on all of us.

We had a respectful moment of silence to commemorate a number of our friends whose presence is dearly missed and are now residing in that celestial cloud hovering above Upper Field.

But most of the afternoon was about kibbitzing with friends and making fun at each other’s expense as is a long standing Saginaw tradition. 

BTW, the outcome of the 1958 Boys Color War is still in doubt,  a festering controversy among certain counselor team captains. 

Here is a bit of “Then and Now” staring Karen Spigel Bralove, Barry Greene, and Jim Korman.
