A Reunion Committee was organized which included the following class members:  Jan Fanciullo Kane, Ruth Szczepanik Perrotti, Jane Hodlin Owen, Joe Segal, Bob Zdunczyk and Fred Marcantonio. Our hats are off to Jan, Ruth, Jane, Joey, Bob and Fred for their tenacity and perseverance in keeping our class together. Thanks, guys!

Even though there were only 41 of us - we enjoyed a very long and very social cocktail hour, a fabulous dinner and all night of open bar (Need I say more?)... The music was a special blend of oldies (but goodies...) and current with requests handled easily by the DJ since he had about twenty boxes of 45's with him.

John Folcik was pleasantly surprised by a special birthday song. 

Everyone was running around snapping pictures and a few yearbooks showed up along with newspaper clippings of our Senior Prom. I am so glad we all got better as we got older!

We did not have the normal reunion with door prizes, head table, a speaker as such - we just had one big party and all agreed it was great... since no one left until Cookes Tavern closed and then some...

For those who decided not to come and for those who could not come... you all missed "ONE HELL OF A TIME"...

One last note - Nancy Grizzel wants to have a reunion in two years at her place... California... I'm going - how about you?

Also, if anyone moves or knows where Bonnie Coffin Der-Torossian, Linda Comas Timms, Georgia Hart, Barbara Hurd, Nancy Johnson Smith, Jane Monsam, Mary Monteleone, Alicia Schmidt Russo, and James Rudolph are, please drop me a line so we can keep our address list up to date. I know I will be at my address for a very long time, so use me to keep current and anyone who wants to start the next reunion, just contact me.

A very special thanks to everyone who helped, Ruth Perrotti, Jane Owen, Joe Segal, Bob Zdunczyk, Fred Marcantonio, Chuck Venturi and Angie Lepore for the invitations. We just about broke even which was what we wanted to do.

Again, a thank you to all that came that Saturday... it was so good to see everyone again and catch up on our lives.

Love, health and happiness to all...
