Morocco Homecoming Celebration a Big Success
The Town of Morocco and Beaver Township had a great turnout for the
Annual Event that was held Sunday, May 30th at a number of locations
around town. A good and fun time was
had by all who attended the many events, but the most important was likely
the dedication of the recently erected Morocco Military Veteran’s Memorial in
Recher Park. If you haven’t visited
it yet, the webmaster highly recommends you do. Ted Hayes wins Schricker Award!

Alumni Banquet Gets the Hotseat!
It was another great turnout for the Annual Morocco High School Reunion Banquet for all MHS Alumni. An unofficial count was given to me of about 230 people attending this year. The “hotseat” comes in with the unfortunate failure of the new air conditioning system for the gymnasium on the very day of the banquet. We may be destined to always roast at these events! Regardless, very many previous classmates, mates, and old friends mingled, visited, and swapped “old school” war stories to provide a remarkable time of rejoining and celebration. Everyone also enjoyed a delicious meal, promptly served. Thanks to all who attended to make this such a fantastic success once again. For more information, check back for the posting of the minutes of this year’s meeting. Grand Reunion

from Bonnie On
Morocco Buildings Dave, Our son, Tim, has completed a brochure
(two-sided) that describes their non-profit corporation, Renewed
Heritage. I spoke to you at one time
about highlighting their projects and letting people know what they were doing.
…their intent is to preserve Morocco buildings as we once knew them. I'm
attaching the brochure
and you can decide whether it could appear on the website. Here you go, Bonnie! If you haven't heard, there was no
remonstrance against the School Board's proposal to remodel and add on to the
Morocco School (along with some upgrades to the other schools. I am very excited about the prospect—the addition
is planned to house grades K-6, so the students will really be in a new
school! Groundbreaking is planned for
May, 2009--maybe there'll be a "hole" instead of a parking lot
for our banquet. The old part of the school will be used for special classes
and the administrations of both the school and the corporation. It is
exciting! Thanks for your consideration and all the
work you do to keep our Website going. You are
very welcome…thanks to you for submitting! -DD Bonnie Storey Thanks Expressed The
following was submitted by an Alumnus for publication. -Editor Many Thanks to
the MHS Alumni Website and the MOROCCO TIMES newspaper. I would like
to suggest to all you alumni out there; don't be shy or worried about
signing up for MHS Alumni website; it's safe,
and It's really a pleasure to check in on the what's happening with our
alumni. It's great to see and read what's going on in the old home town. Dave
(and from Tampa, no less) has done such a terrific job of putting it together
AND keeping it updated. We're all very fortunate that
someone's willing to provide such a rich and classy presentation -
- and at no cost! - - Come on in the
water's fine; the more the merrier; email Dave and get internet connected.
It's a kind of glue that can help us all stay up to date and linked together;
besides that; we really need to keep DAVE engaged; if he doesn't do it, who
will. He's even delivering back issues of the MOROCCO TIMES
now; courtesy of the link up with Gerald Boren. Speaking of
the MOROCCO TIMES, I'd also like to commend Gerald Boren for
his skill and efforts with his new Morocco newspaper.
He's put some real life back into old Morocco and refreshed us all with
his publication. Think of it; launching a newspaper in today's world; in
Morocco - - how risky is that! And, what a style he has; it's like many
of his readers tell him,"it's like getting a letter from home";
what a treat. I'm sure most of you can imagine the time, energy and
expense of doing such job today. I see that he is providing the MHS Website
with the back issues - - what a terrific thing to do. To all of us that
appreciate these efforts and those kinds of things; I suggest that we reward
those who toil for us, by subscribing to the MOROCCO TIMES - - it's only $25
a year - - and sign up for the MHS Alumni Website; think of
it as our patriotic chore and pitching in, when it needs it. As you all can
see, I really appreciate what these guys are doing and I hope you will too. Sincerely, Don DeKoker
