ALL CARDINAL INFORMATION
THE ANNUAL ALL-CARDINAL IS ALWAYS THE
THIRD WEEKEND IN JULY.
WHAT
IS THE ALL-CARDINAL
.....Starting in 1994, members
of several Cardinal Classes started meeting on the third
weekend of July to enjoy the Fayette area and to socialize.
.....The first All-School Gathering was in 1999 when any
Cardinal class or individual was invited to return to Fayette
on the All Cardinal Weekend. An agenda developed that
was flexible enough to meet everyone's needs. Future
All-Cardinal's remained similar, encouraging classes to
utilized the All Cardinal Weekend for their class reunions.
.....The All-Cardinal Agenda is intended to be simple
and self-perpetuating and thus can be a base for classes that
would like to schedule individual reunion
activities.
.....The All Cardinal Weekend is not designed to be an
organized event, but rather a set weekend for Cardinals and
Fayette folks to make their own schedule of activities.
.....Pass the word and invite any Cardinal or Little Peacock
you communicate with. The All-Cardinal will be an
enjoyable weekend. If you cannot make it back this year
perhaps another time, but stay in contact.
.....The All-Cardinal is a trip back to the Valley you grew up
around, the area where you attended school, and for many
Cardinals, the area of their ancestors. With
Cardinal classes being relatively small there will generally
be only limited numbers of schoolmates that you will know or
recognize, plus the village has so drastically changed that
one must adjust expectations.
.....The All-Cardinal is what you make of it as an
individual. You will like the ALL-CARDINAL!
THE
ALL-CARDINAL AGENDA
FRIDAY
AFTERNOON
...Early arrivals
play golf
or socialize at Big Rock, or do some site-seeing/visiting.
FRIDAY
EVENING
...There is generally
informal gatherings on Main Street or in area homes.
Saturday
...Everyone
is expected to plan their own day; sight seeing, visiting,
golfing, fishing, loafing.
...Nancy.Wulfekuhle will be arranging a Golf 'Mixer" at
Big Rock for Sat morning. A possibility will be for
golfers to simply show up at a given time, draw names and play best ball.
Information will be posted and emailed as the Golf outing developes.
"THE
MAIN EVENT"
SATURDAY EVENING
An ALL-CARDINAL/LITTLE PEACOCK GATHERING will be going on anytime after 5pm on Main Street of Fayette at the Old Opera House, PrimeTime/Downtown Lounge and Shiners. The main time for socializing at the Opera House is generally between 5-7+ pm.
THE OLD OPERA HOUSE (the central All
Cardinal gathering location for Sat. evening)
...The
Old Opera
House
(Masonic/Eastern Star Lodge) has been refurbished and is wheel chair
accessible with a ramp into the side door and new steps in front. The outside, main floor
and basement have been gorgeously restored. It
is air-conditioned. An evening
meal will be available at the Opera House for
Cardinals and Fayette Citizens, Saturday,
5-7pm, the evening of the
All-Cardinal. Cost is $10 for Pork
Sandwich, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, Fruit Salad,
Brownie, with Lemonade (sugared), ice tea
(unsweetened) or water. Plan to arrive close
to 5pm so as not to miss any of the Cardinals in
attendance. Please put on a name tag at the
door with name, class year, present hometown.
This is a
'walk-in' meal/social put on by the Opera House
committee;
no
reservations are necessary. Dress
is totally informal; whatever you are
comfortable wearing. Anyone is welcome, not
just former FHS students. We encourage
town/area people to visit for the meal or just walk
in to socialize awhile between 5-7+pm.
..We
urge classes holding reunions to use the Opera House on
Saturday evening for their group gathering. The Opera
House contact person for information and to reserve a class
table is Arlene Klatt
aklatt@iowatelecom.net It has been obvious
this is an important few moments in time. It is the
only opportunity to get to know or visit with Cardinals from
other class years. Friday evening is a
good time to plan an individual class gathering, but it is
important with the small class numbers and membership to
gather and re-acquaint at the Opera House on Saturday
evening between 5 to 7+ pm.
...The old
Opera House was the site of many early FHS
graduations. In the late 1800's/early 1900's
graduation was usually in late March before spring field work
started. In the late 1800's up to 1920 and beyond the Opera
House was used not only for stage and movie performances, but
also for community activities, socials, etc.
SUNDAY
Most people are on their way
home.
NOTE: We only communicate Cardinal info by email and the internet. The email address book continues to become smaller all the time because changes are not sent to me. I need email address changes and I need email addresses of Cardinals not on the list. I do not 'hunt' down addresses, and only rely on information sent to me. Please continue to send updates and new emails for anyone in your family or anyone with a Fayette connection. Try to use a stable email address such as hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc.
Anyone working on Fayette related genealogy? I would like to look at any pioneer descendent trees available to see if I can plug them into my master file for the Fayette Co. area, which has grown to about 50k individuals thus more and more family interconnections being made. I would also like to take or be sent digitals of old Fayette Co. areas/people to eventually use on Fayette web pages or to upload to the photo site. I may have resources uploaded to the photo hosting site or saved on my harddrives which can by utilized by others.
NOTE: You will need to watch for area code changes on the phone numbers, i.e., The eastern side of Iowa was split and 563 is now being used for the towns of Decorah, Fayette, Manchester, Davenport Clinton, and others, while the 319 code is retained for much of the old region. I will not be making immediate/rapid changes in any of the area codes so most listed are from 2000. If your spouse or other data is incorrect, or you have additions of other other FHS Cardinals, please post to me. If you want any or all of your data eliminated, please post. We would like to add the demographic information for any former Fayette student to the database, so if you know of someone that was a class member and not listed please post me the information, iowaz@swbell.net
Save and donate important books, manuscripts, notes,
pictures, living historyr to the Fayette County Historical Society Museum at
West Union.

most efficient way to keep reps and others linked and posted
on current developments. Try to keep your Cardinal
contacts informed.
CARDINAL ADDRESS DIRECTORY
Cardinal
List from 1886-1986 We
continue working very hard to collect addresses, phone
numbers, spouses names, e-mail addresses, deceased
information, etc., for a complete database. There are
still address gaps, especially in the 70's & 80's.
Living members in the classes from the 30's are also needing
located. Faculty names, subjects, years, addresses, etc.
are needed! We would like to add any Fayette resident
that would like to be on the list, disregarding of whether
they attended the Fayette schools or not.
A WINDOW INTO HISTORY
1849--The Indian's are run off
for good. The 'White Tide' starts.
1850--Robert Alexander moved from the Wilcox cabin 2mi south
& builds a 1st generation mill on the SE edge of
'Klock's Island.'
1851--Westfield village is beginning to form around the
Alexander mill area. Fayette does not exist, yet.
1851-52---The first school in the Fayette valley was a log,
12"x18', structure, in the woods to the SW of the Clark/Mechanic
St intersecton.
1857---The school was moved into the Seminary (College Hall,
limestone main building) for a short period.
1859-67---The first brick grade school building constructed, on
the SW corner of Clark and King Streets (the 'Grade School').
1881---The addition to the west side of the grade school was
added (the 'platform' behind the Grade School).
1900---The first high school was occupied (and would be
incorporated into the southern portion of the 1916 High School
(addition).
1916---A new high school was built and moved into mid Feb 1917.
1917--The eighth grade moved to the High School building.
1920--Consolidation with area country schools.
1921--Sixth and seventh grades moved to the High School.
The remainder of the H. S. land was acquired.
1922---Bob Pond, a high school student wrote the school song,
"Crimson Always Stands for Courage."
1934---May 15, early morning. The west side of the old
elementary school burned (the foundation/basement remained to
form the 'platform'). It was said that Swede Wilson,
living nearby, saved the rest of the building single handed,.
Professor Morse (teacher & superintendent) was quite
unhappy, as he wanted a new building, so the story
goes. Loss set at $10k.
1946---The mascot was changed from "Little Peacocks" to
"Cardinals", and the school song to "On Wisconsin."
1950-51---A 'new' gym was built to the south of the High
School. The old gym in the H.S. basement was used until
the early 1940's, when the college gym would be used for
games. The old gym would become an auditorum. Fourth
& fifth grade classes would be moved into the two 'new' gym
classrooms.
1984---Fayette High School closes and consolidates with North
High in West Union.
1986---The High School is demolished during the winter and
following spring.
1994---The first All-Cardinal Reunion started with
classes of the late '50's and early '60's.
1999---The sixth annual All-Cardinal Gathering became the
first all-class
weekend.
2000---The seventh All-Cardinal involving
all classes was successful with perhaps 200+ people in
town. The agenda was the same as last year and will be the
same in the coming year, and every year thereafter
assuming no change in accommodations.
2001---The eighth All-Cardinal weekend attracted about
the same number of former
students as last year. The undefeated football team of the
Fall of 1955,
where only 19 Cardinal "Ironmen" won the conference under the
leadership of Coach George Richards, had a very nice gathering
in the
Primetime. Don'63 and Dayna'62 Dummermuth Timmerman
produced a very
professional eight minute tape, "The Miracle of the 1955
Cardinal Football
Team." As of July 2001, a copy of that tape is still
available for
$15, which includes shipping. I would strongly suggest
anyone with
connections to that season immediately contact Don and Dayna
Timmerman, Box 210,
Denver, Iowa, 50622. The Class of 81 had a hog roast
picnic at Klock's
Island and invited the classes of '79-83. The '61
Cardinals had 10 of
their remaining 26 members present. The Class of '56 met
at the Trailside
Inn. The Downtown Lounge was full of FHS folks both Friday
and Saturday
evenings.
2002---The
ninth All-Cardinal saw many Cardinal's socializing around
the area during the weekend, playing golf,
visiting, site-seeing, etc. On Saturday evening
activities then
clustered around socializing at the Downtown Lounge on Main
Street. Three
classes grouped up early in the evening for their five year
reunions at Big
Rock, while one class met in the Prime Time. The
Arlington Day's Car
Cruise came through town. Cardinals encouraged about 25 of
the old muscle
cars to do some entertaining burn-outs directly in front of the
Downtown.
The Downtown had a pizza, chicken, salad buffet available.
Many former
Cardinal's stayed in town at the new AmericInn. A group of
Fayette area
residents are working very hard to totally restore the "old
Opera
House," which will become a Community Center, available for
activities.
Make plans to visit Fayette for the 2003 All-Cardinal.
---The Classes of 52, 57, 62 met together Sat evening at Big
Rock. The
Class of 82 held a reunion in the PrimeTime. The Class of 72
gathered at the
West Union County Club.
---Jack Wenthe posted: Class of 67 held our 35th
class reunion on
Saturday night of the All Cardinal. We had 18 of the 33 in
our graduating
class present for the diner at the Sportsman south of Oelwein.
Some of us
gathered in Fayette on Friday night and after the diner on
Saturday night.
We had a great time and are planning a 40th in five years, Cathy
(Alshouse )
Wilson will be in charge, with Cindy(Alderson)Hansmeier and me
as helpers.
I am in the process of writing an article and a picture for the
Fayette paper.
---Paul Adams posted: The Class of '77 had an informal camp out
at Rick &
Becky Denburger's place north of West Union on July
20th. Three families, (ten people) camped out and others joined
us for
fellowship. We made a trip into Fayette that evening to talk to
others at the
Downtown Lounge. A good time was had by all. I will keep you
posted about the
plans for next summer; we anticipate another camp out &
picnic for the Class
of '77.
2003---The tenth All-Cardinal was not only hosted by the
PrimeTime/Downtown Lounge on Main Street but the old Opera House
held a community fundraising meal to assist in the restoration
of the Opera House. The project is well under way and will
be a major asset to the community, not only for historic
purposes on Main Street but also as a community site for
gatherings to include family reunion, weddings, town activities,
etc. The building was constantly full of Cardinals and
Fayette residents all evening. The class of '58 held their
Reunion during the meal. Many Cardinals continue to gather
at the PrimeTime/Downtown during the evening, socializing and
telling old stories, some of which are now highly stretched
along with much of our anatomy. Big Rock is now an 18 hole
course and as usual saw a number of Cardinal looking for another
kind of birdies but generally finding 'no-see'um's and weeds. We
again experienced another good Cardinal gathering and will be
back if not next year, soon.
2004---The eleventh All-Cardinal was hosted at the Opera
House on Main Street Fayette. The restoration of the main
floor of the Opera House was completed with work continuing on
the basement and other area. Several classes met Saturday
evening on the Main Floor of the Opera House in class groups to
hold their reunions. The Opera house committee again
arrange the evening meal for the All Cardinal, with the seating
being pleasantly full but not crowded. A couple of other
classes utilized the All-Cardinal Weekend to hold their reunions
in the Fayette area. Big Rock Golf Course had the back
nine holes open, thus becoming the only 18 hole gold course in
the immediate area. Golf and other area activities were
utilized by visiting Cardinals, with both Friday and Saturday
evenings finding Cardinals at the Primetime/Downtown and
visiting on Main Street Fayette.
2005---The Twelfth All-Cardinal for the third year was
hosted at the Opera House. The restoration of the Opera
House is progressing nicely with the upstairs completed and a
showpiece. Work continues on the basement/kitchen
area. The All-Cardinal agenda is basically set and
following the same schedule as in the past several years.
We are holding stead fast to that time/schedule so that a
tradition is set which everyone can count on in the coming
years. The numbers attending in 2005 were down
slightly. Generally between 100-130 meals are being served
the past three years at the Opera House, with 2-5 classes also
setting their five year gatherings at the Opera House meal time.
2006---The Thirteen All-Cardinal was again hosted at the
Opera House. Restoration continues, with the basement
kitchen area being the last major project. The numbers
attending for 2006 were up, with about 145 being served Sat.
evening at the Opera House. The hard work of Sharrol'56
and her brother Doug'61 Fay setting up their reunions brought
back a good turn out for those two classes. we still are
not seeing very many people in the 'younger' classes of the
1970's to mid 1980's, but continue to welcome them to use the
weekend for their gatherings. Merle Thompson'39 Sternberg, a
distant cousin, accompanied me, and may have been the oldest FHS
grad in attendance. Faculty included George
Richards, accompanied by his son Marshall'71 and George Capell,
who is always in attendance. Friday evening saw quite a
crowd at the Downtown Lounge, to include some of the 'younger'
classes. There was not as many at the Downtown on Sat
evening but still a nice gathering. UIU's Sat. noon picnic
at Klock's Island was very well organized with great food and
nicely attended. UIU plans to host a similar picnic for
2007. There are numerous village upgrades around Fayette,
ram-rodded by Christie Dennis and the City Council, including
new Main St. sidewalks and light poles which look just like
those of the 1920+ to 1940 era. Klock's Island is getting
a modern restroom facility. Several other projects are in the
works. Numerous Cardinals played golf all weekend at Big
Rock with was in fantastic condition. Again, we invite any
class and/or anyone who attended Fayette schools, has lived or
lives in Fayette, or just has interest in Fayette, to utilize
the All Cardinal Weekend to revisit the village and enjoy their
own activities and schedule, to include the Sat. evening meal t
the Opera House and gatherings at the Downtown Lounge.
2007---The Fourteen All-Cardinal saw an increase in
attendance with an estimated 180+ being around the Opera House
on Saturday evening. Four classes, 1957, 1962, 1967, 1972,
held their Reunions at the Opera House, which along with a
consistent group of other Cardinals that return every year,
produced one of the higher attended All Cardinals. Once
again, Merle Thompson'39 Sternberg, a distant cousin,
accompanied me, and may have been the oldest FHS grad in
attendance. Faculty members in attendance were George
Capell, Dominic Grasso and Jim Redel. Florence Lease, who
is 101 years old and still lives in Sumner during the summers,
was planning on attending but did not make it over. There
was also good attendance at the DownTown Lounge on both Friday
and Saturday evenings. The Opera House basement kitchen and
group room is nearly finished. Theater lighting has been
installed on the main floor for drama and other
presentations. The restoration has produced a gorgeous
representation of the original building and can be used for a
large variety of community social events. The new
shower/restroom and hookup facilities have been completed at
Klock's Island, bringing increase use of the park. The
recreational trail from Klock's Island to Main Street Fayette
and beyond has been started. The ball fields and outdoor
basketball court on the north side of the Volga are in
use. We continue to encourage the use of the All Cardinal
Weekend as a gathering time for FHS classes or other village
events.
2008---The Fifteenth All-Cardinal numbers at the Opera
House were down to about 85 meals, but still remained a
successful Cardinal weekend. The numbers at the Opera
House depend on the Cardinal Classes gathering for their five
year reunion. We would recommend using Friday evening for
a class reunion but attending the Opera House gathering by
reserving a seating area with Cindy Carpenter. Pictures
from the Opera House and from a walk down the new hiking/biking
trail from the Main St area to Klock's Island, have been
uploaded to the photo hosting site. Several more annuals
were photographed and are also uploaded.
2009---The Sixteenth All Cardinal was a mirror of past
years with four classes holding gatherings in Fayette during the
All Cardinal Weekend. The Opera House served just under
150 meals. Fewer pics were taken at the Opera House
this year. Photos from the weekend are uploaded into the
2009 folder on the photo hosting site and can be downloaded
free, to a harddrive.
2010---The Seventeen All Cardinal evening at the Opera
House had a nice turn out. Plans for next year's weekend
remain the same. Any significant changes will be posted
and emailed. It is important to keep address and
email information updates. Classes with plans for 2011 may
send info for uploading as it becomes available.
2011---The Eighteenth All Cardinal evening at the Opera
House was utilized for the Class Reunion of 1951, 1956,
1961. The Opera House committee served 150+. With
three socializing establishments now available, Main St was line
with cars on Friday and Saturday evenings. The village is
planning new store fronts, sidewalks and completing a
recreational trail from the end of the Big Rock trail through
the Volga Lake area and eventually connecting to trails to the
north. UIU continues to add state of the art construction.
2012---The Nineteenth All Cardinal evening at the Opera
House was utilized for the Class Reunion of 1962, with twenty members
attending. The Opera House committee hosted about 155. Other
classes met at various locations. The three Sports' Bars hosted mid
evening. A number of Main St businesses are utilizing grant money to
improve the appearance of store fronts with some going back to a more
original appearance. Main St will be resurfaced. Business on
Main St appears to be holding its own or improving. UIU has completed
numerous new buildings and working on more to include a major stadium
upgrade. A trail from Fayette into the Volga Lake area is being planned.
2013---The Twentieth All Cardinal: The Opera House
hosted 110+ on Sat. evening. Several classes were
holding gatherings in the Fayette area during the weekend, which remains
fairly consistent with the past few years. Pictures from around
Fayette are on the photo hosting site. The 2014 All Cardinal weekend is
scheduled for Sat, 2014Jul19, with the web page updated. Please send
reunion info to post for 2014, plus any email/address updates.
2014---The Twenty-First All Cardinal: The Opera House
hosted about 80 on Sat. evening. The weekend gathering around
town was similar to the past few years. Pictures are on the photo
hosting site, linked near the top of the page. The All-Cardinal will
remain simply a weekend when former Fayette residents can return, to their
own thing, and likely run into some past memories.
Some past Class
arrangements for the
All-Cardinal Weekend for their five year and other
reunions: In 2001: 1953 will hold their 48th reunion on August 18, 2001 at UIU, in the Fayette Room of Garbee Res.

All of
my direct surnames were very early pioneers into Fayette County
entering northeast Iowa in the 1850's. Growing up in Fayette and
trekking the hills, prairies, streams throughout the county when
the small villages and farms were so active and functional
before the 1960's, the now lost history and memories of the
pioneer generations and lifestyles from 1840-1960 continue to
hold my interests. The Cardinal pages are a part
of that history and genealogy work. If you are working
on Fayette Co, Iowa genealogy, I have many resources stored or
run onto the photo site, to include burial listings, old plat
maps, histories, pics, ideas, etc.
