Auld Lang Syne

This Class is your Class, this Class is my Class
From California to the East Coast sea grass ...
California, Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Maryland, and every part of New Jersey from top to bottom.

We came from many a corner of the land
to share an old-time feeling, to shake an old friend's hand ..

.. and what a feeling it was ...
surrounded by the friends of our youth.

No one was disappointed. Did we have a good time ?? .. yes, but it was more, so much more than that. It was a life-enriching experience.

It was a grand out-pouring of Classmates, 90 of us came, 90 who stopped all they were doing, interrupted busy lives, and came to share a memory that each and every one had a hand in creating.

I cannot find words expressive enough, phrases grand enough to describe the skill and talent displayed by the Committee who organized this event. But you didn't need words if you were there, just a glance at the faces; smile after smile after smile, warm, glowing faces, the glowing eyes of folks having an intense experience.

What you see here at the moment is just the beginning of what will be an expanded presentation; more pictures, some sound clips and other mementos of a wonderful Reunion are coming. Check back again in a week or so when I will have more of the material organized for presentation. For those not on FaceBook, there will also be direct links to the excellent presentation work that Ed and Marion are doing on our Class Page on FaceBook. Anyone with Reunion photos or stories to share should send them to me for presentation here and / or Marion for presentation on FaceBook. Here are the first few photos, just to get started -


A delicious cake !  It had a canoli filling.

A Presidential address.

Our Master of Ceremonies got things going.

C'mon, let's Stroll.

We hadn't forgotten how to do it!

50 years? .. I still think somebody counted wrong.

Graduation Day !

Free at last, free at last, from teachers almighty, we are free at last. What a day it was. For so many years we had been carefully prepared, made ready, made bold, fearless and well equipped to face the world. Now, it was just a matter of marching up, collecting our diplomas and flying off. It was a heady feeling. Yes, that was a while ago, wasn't it? Let's see if we can recapture just a few moments of the sights, sounds and feelings of that momentous day.
