Carol Pittelkow Fogel

I am looking forward to our 50th class reunion and hope many of you will be able to attend. Some of us have little get togethers when a classmate is visiting and this year we had a get together in Florida with those living there.
I spend 3 months in Florida and 5 months camping each year at Tri Lake Trails. We enjoy bike riding and anything to do with the outdoors. We own the Pittelkow family farm with brother Donnie and sister Alice. I am glad we were able to keep this in our family. We still enjoy taking care of the place, mushrooming, going on walks, and our camper is over there to use when we are not at the campground.
I have 2 grandchildren Zachary born in 2003 and Sarah born in 2006 that I simply adore and time spent with them is precious to me.
My sisters and I all camp together for a month each summer and go to a cottage in Indiana for 4 days in the fall. We have always had a lot of fun together. I enjoy visiting with relatives and our summer reunions. I worked at Falconer's Dress Shop my senior year and then I worked at State Farm Insurance until we started our family. After my boys were both in school I worked as a secretary, township clerk, and then retired from Tekonsha Schools in 2003 after 18 years as high school secretary. I am still involved in working at the elections as I have been for many years. My organizations over the years have included the G.F.W.C. Research Club, Youth of Tekonsha Club, Power for Kids Club, P.T.O., Summer Ball Program and also volunteering in the elementary reading program. Dick and I have for years volunteered to fold and label the hometown newspaper "The Tekonsha Idea". I also was the secretary for a group that built a new track here in Tekonsha many years ago. I enjoy every minute of retirement. It is so nice to be able to do whatever we want whenever we want.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at our 50th!!! I have always felt fortunate to have graduated with the wonderful classmates that we had.
April, 2017 Update---For the past 5 years most things have remained the same. All 4 Pittelkow sisters are now seasonal at Tri Lake Trails and they put us all together so there is always something going on. We go to Gulf Shores, Alabama each winter now and share a huge home on Mobile Bay. Sisters Marilyn and Judy also share the home with us. I still enjoy getting together with classmates who live nearby, family reunions, going to garage sales, trying my luck at the Firekeeper's Casino in Battle Creek and going to sporting events that relatives are playing in. Last year we helped remodel my son Dave's country home. We feel fortunate to be healthy and remain on the go all the time.
