Lynbrook Senior High School
Class Of 1963

Welcome to the Lynbrook High School Class Of 1963 web site. This was been created as a way to remain in touch and find classmates enabling us to build our 50th Reunion which was held on Saturday, May 18, 2013, at the Lynbrook Elks Lodge. Please help us find other classmates and visit periodically for updates. John Tedaldi will be putting togehter our next reunion in the spring of 2018 with help from Mike Galgano (and anyone else who volunteers).

Below are two poems: one Wally wrote on the plane returning to Seattle and the other is the  poem Jerry wrote for the Reunion.

Welcome.

Jerry Tuckman and Wally Parsons

 

Reunion

 

I wanted to kiss the girls

and dance.

It was nostalgia

not lust.

 

Room buzzing with stories

Bees with no sting

just honey-

coated versions

of past exploits.

 

Beyond the words

spoken and not,

though,

was the hum.

 

Like the background radiation

from the big bang.

Evidence of past energy

and feelings

filled the room…

and me.

LHS ’63 50th Reunion Poem

 

What we say together is in “italics”

 

 

Wally:

 

Callow youth

Few knew the truth

With Dylan and Beatles

Soon to come.

Lost Bobby & Martin

& JFK

Yet made our way

Though somewhat numb

 

We have aged

And have lost classmates

While St. Helens spewed

Her ash

Celebrated a centennial

As we all made and lost

Cash

 

 

Jerry:

 

The Supreme Court

Got a black justice

And a woman followed soon

Woodstock happened to the north

And Neil Armstrong

took the moon

 

But sad to say

AIDs had its day

And the Challenger

lost in the sky

As we cheered the fall

Of the Berlin Wall

And we all managed to get by

 

Together:

 

We started off together

Often clique-y, not all friends

Now we live in many cities

See the world through our own lens

 

As we gather back in Lynbrook

Greeting folks we haven’t seen

Let’s appreciate the moments

And the places where we’ve been.

 

 

Bob:

 

Its now 50 years later

and Zanettis is long gone

Early birds now at 5:30

we at 10 begin to yawn,

Stagger Lee and Bye Bye Love

Seem far into the Past

We danced to “Shout”, Now some are stout

But certain mem’ries last

 

 

Steiger was our math guy,

hands covered with chalk

Syllogisms and geometry,

if you hoped to walk his walk

Arnie asked Dagnija out,

then found his wedding bell(e)

Everyone would drive, survive,

and love our Mister Mel.

 

Gail:

 

Florin was the President

Now he finds movies big

Sue Campbell secretary

Has a belly dancing gig

The treasury’s Tedaldi’s thing

Now he sits by a Florida pool

And Jerry’s old friend, Kenny F,

Did class scheduling for a NY school.

 

Howie Litvack gave us shoes

Ronnie Littenberg is a “shrink”

Mike Galgano did collections

Parsons made sure no ship would sink

Gelber became a dentist

Lewis, Weisburst each a doc

Sue G would have been your favorite nurse

Klasson ran concerts: hard rock

 

 

Ronnie

 

We soon spread all over –

to Florida, West Coast

Jobs and kids and military

occupied the most

Left behind old Breakwell’s songs,

Hodnett and Wagner’s plays

Powell’s crazy physics

and games that Jaeger plays

 

 

 

Together:

 

We started off together

Often clique-y, not all friends

Now we live in many cities

See the world through our own lens

 

As we gather back in Lynbrook

Our reunion quickly nears

Let’s appreciate the moments

Valuing past and future years

 

Ronnie:

 

So Schiller is a music prof,

Rob Lebow to Microsoft

Kampe to Big Tobacco,

Shaw to his Tribeca loft

Mady Stone wrote songs, Gail Greenstein sang

Many others taught or teach,

Lawyer, Longshoreman, Ranger, Techie

All things within our reach

 

 

Jerry:

 

We know we have lost classmates

As we moved along our way

Some to illness, some to accident

Over years or in a day

Now we hold them in our hearts

As we catch up, drink and dance

Thinking how they played their parts,

Knowing what we owe to chance

 

Where does all this leave us?

Rich or Poor,

Gay or Straight.

It leaves us reminiscing

50 years after the date

That we put LHS behind us

“rear-view mirror” if you will

But there are some things we’ll always share:

We are classmates still.

 

Together:

 

So tonight we come together

As old classmates and old friends

We view our past and then, at last

See where each path now bends

 

As we gather back in Lynbrook

We joyfully greet our peers

Let’s appreciate the moments

Valuing past and future years.

 

Jerry 5/17/13
