John attended Nappanee High School and was the last surviving member of the graduating class of

John and Dorothy had two girls, Barbara (Mrs. Jim Moore) and Jill (Mrs. Bill Rex) and were blessed with five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. They lived their entire married life, 73 years, in the Nappanee area and wintered in Sarasota, Fla. John always enjoyed a good joke, a good game of cards, a good laugh, and a round of golf. John lived on the edge several times crashing his airplane in a lake, sinking his boat in the Gulf of Mexico and being drug through an orchard tied by his leg to a cow. He was a farmer and had a dairy herd (said he had nightmares 60 years later of the milk inspector), and last but not least a car dealer. He would often say that he had a wonderful blessed life and that every day was a gift. His family loved and respected him, and now along with his friends, wull miss him dearly.

History, from front since third grade." Indiana History makes up most of the social studies program for the fourth graders' school year at Woodview as well as state-wide, so much time is given to that period and the events that led to Indiana's becoming a state. Native American groups are studied all the way to current times. Part of the entire fourth grade enveloping themselves in the lessons involves activities like: an old-time spelling bee, taking a field trip to the Gathering of Five Medals in New Paris where students can learn about and envision the lifestyles of pioneers and Native Americans and to Connor Prairie where they see reenactments or dressing in period attire. "They aren't assigned a particular attire or role, but we give the students some ideas to go off of," said Hostetter. "We have a prize for the best-dressed pioneer boy and girl. Longer dresses and skirts and blouses are some suggestions for the girls. Boys can wear jeans, bib overalls, and buttondown shirts." Even dancing is part of the lesson plan though some students are less than enthused with the idea. "Some of the students complain about the square dancing," Hostetter said, "but deep down, they really love it. It gives our music teacher an opportunity to be involved as well." Also involved is guest speaker Kevin Stonerock (www. kevinstonerock.com) who shares basic historical information. "He does different reenactment things, but he will come to our school with a program that centers on the life of, 'Andrew' Amonett, a true-to-life frontiersman of the Indiana Territory.’" Hostetter explained. "He will touch on topics like trapping, militia service, Native American affairs, tools, weapons, and frontier clothing. It gives the students a good idea of what life was like between 1770 and 1810." Hostetter said that giving students "close-to-real-life" examples is a great tool for enhancing the learning process. "This is my first year at Woodview, and it's a great school to be a part of," Hostetter said. "The students and staff are great and I love every minute of it! ... Having grown up here in Nappanee, and going through Wa-Nee Community Schools, this is something that I remember from when I was in fourth grade. I'm hoping our current fourth graders will feel the same. v . 1 know that our trip to Five Medals was really impactful for our class and getting a chance to see, smell, taste, hear, and touch the things from that time period is a memorable experience. Hopefully these will be the things they looked back on fondly as adults."
