Marry in<br />
2008<br />
The <strong>Alumni</strong> Office received a phone call and decided this<br />
was one human interest story that needed to be included in our<br />
magazine!<br />
Marcelline Meyer Grassman Trares M49 writes….<br />
Here are some statistics about our relationship that led to my<br />
marriage to Bob Trares M49 on January 5, 2008.<br />
We never dated in high school but we were friends. He was<br />
our Class Treasurer and worked on all the class reunions and so<br />
did I. Consequently, we never lost track of each other. I knew<br />
his wife, Irene, and had been to his house for reunion meetings.<br />
Our spouses are both deceased — my husband, also named<br />
Bob, died in 1987 and his wife, Irene, died in 1994.<br />
Bob has belonged to the Knights of Columbus since 1950.<br />
He has been a 4th Degree Member since 1963. He is very active<br />
in his Monsignor O’Keefe Assembly where he is the<br />
Comptroller. When they were planning their 100th year<br />
Anniversary celebration in 2002, Bob called and asked me to<br />
attend the celebration with him. I was thrilled! It started with<br />
Mass offered by Bishop Sheldon at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Mary</strong> Church where we<br />
had attended many times as students. How fitting! During the<br />
mass, Bob took his rosary out of his pocket and I was instantly<br />
impressed. How many guys carry their rosary in their pocket<br />
these days (besides my 5 brothers)?<br />
We continued to see each other and just fell in love! Since<br />
this relationship started with the Knights of Columbus, it was<br />
only fitting that they should be a part of our wedding. They<br />
marched and formed an honor guard for us and some of the<br />
Knights were from Bob’s assembly and some from Monsignor<br />
Hannon Assembly in Wooster, Ohio where my brothers belong.<br />
We had asked our classmate, Fr. Zeisig to officiate during our<br />
wedding. Unfortunately, Fr. Zeisig passed away on the day we<br />
were married. The wedding was truly a family affair and a<br />
wonderful celebration.<br />
I have 7 daughters, 1 foster son, 26 grandchildren and 5 great<br />
grandchildren. One granddaughter and great granddaughter<br />
are deceased. Bob has 2 daughters, 1 son and 5 grandchildren.<br />
He didn’t get married until 1964 so he had a late start!<br />
Anyway, we have quite a group when we all get together. We are<br />
currently living in Wooster, Ohio and are both so happy that<br />
we found each other. We are looking forward to a wonderful<br />
life together.
