Dear@ReneeFergusonGuder and Tom Guder




I thought your Dad, George Ferguson, was so calm and looked like a famous Beatle; I bet he still does Renee Ferguson Guder, as your Mom was a few years smarter, and I had someone to look up to! Times were more fun back then, with rock music and parties on beaches after you’d been up all night partying, and your parents always partook in all of the beach party games on @Lake Erie. I remember staying out late after an almost all-night party on FIFTY RD. We were all drunk, and my sister-in-law Carole Siemko Hinchliffe made me drink tequila shots with lemon wedges. Wow, we took turns puking in the toilet and bathtub…I was so embarrassed, but we got along with it. We went to the car and the only one driving, after all of his passengers puked on the tires, I arrived home alive. Dennis was uninvited to the Pearce Reunion picnic because of the foregoing; he was sent home to sleep all day and I was forced to go after no sleep and wasn’t allowed to sleep. My wonderful Dad said there, “There was no rest for the weary, I grabbed a horn and pots and pans in my room and tossed cold water on my sleeping head!! I went, came around by swimming and chatting to my cousins. But to make a long story short, after 49 years last month, Dennis and Gail Pearce Siemko are still happily married!
