We have said goodby to the old Roosevelt Gym and the addition to the north. That area will be used for parking for the remodeled 'old school buildings remaining which will be Hobarts' Municipal complex. Housing lots of activities. ie court, police, offices and community activities,too I think.
The new Community Center is well into construction at Festival Park, the old building was to damaged by current years flooding and it was not that good of construction to began with, 'old Izaak Walton Club House' when we were in school. Anyone remember????
Thank you all for your messages of comfort in our personal loss.
Sincerely, Zeta and Bob

I am proud to be Zetas Grandaughter! She is such an inspiration to me. She is a strong women. I see that in her children... My Aunt Zeta is one of the most giving and caring people I know. She is as well as my Grandma are my my hero"s. To take care of her Mother with such Love is so wonderful. I hope that my genes are not that diluted and I can be as healthy as my Grandmother has been thru out her life.

The power of this site is world wide.
My mother, Zeta Wittman is now on the SUPERCENTENARIANS site. It refers to this site as it's source.

Hi, Zeta! Your mother is 110 - what wonderful news! Thanks, too, for your memories about my family. My Grandfather was City Engineer, but I wasn't sure of the dates. My dad, Gurdon, Jr., died in a car accident when I was 10, so I don't know all of the places he worked. I appreciate the stories and write them down as you think of them. Happy summer in Hobart to everyone! Sandi

Happy Birthday Mrs. Wittman! And congrats on 110!

Hi Zeta and Bob, thanks for updating us on your mom and her birthday!

Jackie and Frank

Happy, happy, birthday to your Mom, Zeta. So nice to have a wonderful mother. You and your husband are great people who take good care of your Mom. My parents were so wonderful, too, and I envy you and I wish mine were still here.

Hello from a Brickie in Hobart,
A Happy Note for the Day, My Mother is 110 years old today lives with us most of the time. For those who might remember her. Mrs. Wittman (as elders were called in our era) enjoyed being a Girl Scout Leader, Religious instructor and Fund raiser for various project at St. Bridgets, Voting at all the elections, as well as, 'working the polls', loved playing Bridge and mostly being a great Mother. She is Hobart's oldest resident and a Super Centurion.

Hi, Danny, from a fellow '56 classmate. Hope all is well with you and your family. Hope everyone has a great summer. Sure wish I could get to Hobart soon but that will have to wait until my new knee gets better.

Enjoyed your site! Dan Beres here, HHS Class of 1956. Hello to all you 'Brickies'.

I recall that your grandfather, Gordon Huntington, was the City Engineer for years in the late 60's or early 70's. My father-in -law was on the city council at that time.
Ward family - You had a number of siblings if I remember, Your father worked at NIPSCO the same time that I worked there, I think.
Hobart is a lovely place to live and a great place to raise a family.
Best regards,

Great website! Thanks for all of the work you did on it and for sharing it. My grandparents, Gurdon & Dollie Huntington, lived in Hobart for years. Does anyone remember them?
