Record numbers participate in Run For Jon
The 20th Annual Run For Jon on August 28th was a tremendous success with some 300 participants and $5,700 raised to support families with medical emergencies. Forrence’s orchard with its apples ready for harvest was a beautiful setting. Don and Shirley Evans expressed their thanks to everyone who played a role in the run’s success. Shirley said, “As always we had tremendous help and support from family, friends and neighbors - what we call The Run For Jon Family.” Don and Shirley’s daughter Johanna surprised her parents when she flew in from South Carolina. (See attached photos taken by Jaimie Devan Dowler). Mark Elmore returned to Peru for the run. Elmore and Scott Woodward organized the first run to assist the Evans family with expenses they were incurring caring for their thirteen old son Jon who was battling cancer. When Jon passed away the Evans family and friends continued the run to memorize Jon and to give the event’s proceeds to families facing medical problems. Over the years about $50,000 has been raised with more than one-half of the amount distributed to local families. Read more »

Class of 1960 enjoyed their 50th Reunion last weekend
By John T. Ryan
If you know any of the people in the accompanying photos (Click here) (photos are largest in Slideshow format) you’ll find it hard to believe that they graduated from Peru High School fifty years ago. The Class of 1960 held its 50th Reunion this past weekend. They gathered at the North Country Club for pizza on Friday night. On Saturday night they enjoyed dinner and reminisces at the Keeseville Elks Club. The class had 60 graduates. Forty-four classmates, spouses and guests attended Saturday’s dinner. One the most memorable aspects of the weekend was the class’s donation of $1,300 to the Leo Bourgois Scholarship Fund. Bourgois was their class advisor and the class dedicated their yearbook to him. Mr. “B” as he was affectionately known passed away on December 28, 2009.
The class was also honored by the presence of teachers Betty Hughes, John and Shirley Longware, Lucille Pascal and her husband Larry, Clare Rooney who was celebrating her 97th birthday and Mike Zerrahn. Read more »
