Hi all ---

As near as I can tell, we have 5 years to wait until the 50th, which may be a stretch for some of us. Summer will be here soon and it sure would be nice to see all of you while you're still able to hold a beer mug or cocktail glass.

Now, I realize that this takes some of the glamour out of the shindig that we'll have in 2014, but as Carlene said in the song, "another five years is too long to wait".

Doesn't have to be big or fancy - just dinner abd drinks somewhere.

Linda:

Thank you for being so active in keeping the THS Class of 1964 connected. I agree with Michael, we should have another 1964 reunion. The last one was great. Would not mind going back to Lake George!!! Anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Our class will be having an activity at Grafton State Park on Saturday, August 22nd. Please make sure that I have your current e-mail address so that I can send you details as they become available. (If you didn't get an e-mail with this information above, it means that I don't have a good address for you.)

The best way to help right now is to offer to call some classmates and find out current e-mail addresses. You can pick out your friends and call as many or as few as you would like. I do have many phone numbers.

Memory Walk with Assistance Needed -

Bus Trip to Stratford, CT. to see King Lear - English class rode trip - Jr. Year

The memory of some of this is clear--a very long bus ride, dinner at a large restaurant ? name.
I do remember the play, I did stay awake,
Sitting next to my friend Karen Wright on the bus ride back and talking to Jim Herrod and Rick Snyder (two former School 14 classmates) who were sitting behind us.

What else happened on that trip? Does any one have a story?

Carolyn,
I remember the trip - vaguely. I remember sitting in what seemed to be a very large and dark theater. The restaurant may have been Patricia Murphys. I don't where I pulled that name from but that is what came out of my head. I remember this as also being huge whatever its name.

I enjoyed an outdoor performance of King Lear last summer. I'm sure I understood and appreciated this second performance much more, but maybe the first show helped to warm me up to the whole theater scene. I'm an avid theater goer these days.

I am glad to find some of my old friends here that I know and was very sadden to see two of my friends past on. They where two girls I dated and one I went to the prom with. Glad to hear some of you have made it out in the real world. My chapters in life are many with good and sad but I am still here and can hold a can of beer in my hand.

Well I and the family survived this most recent Christmas(Xmas to the PC's out there) with a most modest financial burden because with time we are learning that it is not the many gifts that are bought and then returned that count but Christmas is all about family, friends and giving thanks for what you've got. I have been preaching that for years and the ladies in my family are gradually seeing my point. As an added bonus there will not be any large credit card bills in January either! Speaking of Christmas and PC's, this country needs to lighten up. We take ourselves way too seriously. We need to get back to the "All in the Family" era when we could laugh at ourselves but still learn a lesson from each episode. Sorry, I am getting carried away. I hope everyone is doing well and yes I am still working at Verizon with retirement on the near horizon. Forty plus years is enough. It is time to walk the dog more and bet some horses! Hey, anyone got a hot one? Bob Ishkanian

 I didn't know anyone checked out this message forum, but if you do: it is now February 2011!  Do I have your current e-mail address?  Make sure I do, or you will be unlikely to hear about anything the class does.  You never know, maybe someone will organize something.  Maybe it will be you!  You can write to me through this web-site.  Go to classmate profiles and click on my name, or get brave and join FaceBook.  I'm listed as Linda Chesman Byard and I like having THS class mates as friends.  Or there is always LindaByard at gmail dot com.

Mrs. Errara, algebra teacher, for many died recently.  I thought she was an excellent teacher.  Although I seldom use algebra these days, if I think clearly at all, I would have to give her some credit for this.  Who remembers, "We come in, we sit down, and we keep our mouths shut."

Here is my contribution to the message forum for 2012: It's early May now and beautiful in upstate New York.  The leaves are already out - not exactly how it was when we were in high school, leaves were probably still a few weeks away.

 Many of us are now collecting Social Security but there was a time when we got "allowances" from our parents.  

Many of us are on Medicare and we may stand in line for flu shots.  I remember standing in line for a polio shot at Troy High School.  I thought it was very cool to be in the high school even for just a short period of time when I was actually attending School 14.  

Occasionally I get a discount for being 65.  When we were kids, we used to pay less to get into the movies if we were younger than 12.  And so it goes....if you chance on this forum, do write, and let us know what is going on in your life.  

Make sure I have your e-mail address.  (LindaByard@gmail.com)  In the event that our class does have an event, I'm sure you will want to know about it.  Remember envelopes and stamps and all that?  We don't seem to be using them too much these days.

Be well, give hugs, and eat your veggies.  Linda

Here I am 65 on medicare and social security disability and reading about my classmates. To one classmate I have to say sorry for my past actions and she knows who I am. But in time I have been married 3 times and very happy. I remember the proms we had and the dates after the dance. I remember our classmates who ran for class president. The one that sticks in my mind is Karen in her rocking chair. Going to the movies then I remember taking bus to get my date. Oh yes, Mama's pizza was the best. My favorite place was Charlie's hot dog and his special sauce.

Thanks for reading this

Fellow classmates (class of '64) I am now retired and being very opinionated and with a lot of time now, I am now on Twitter at,  @HRoberish. In my earlier years I wrote many letters-to-editors, laid low for a while while raising 2 daughters but I am back with a vengence via twitter. I am not happy with the direction of the country (I miss the old simplier days of our era) and I make my thoughts known on twitter. My comments are thought-provoking but they are like a Slim-Jim. You are either going to like them or not. Why not give it a try and join the conversation. It is YOUR country's future too!
