This message from Doug Kalicki

Hey Fellow Classmates, Sorry I won’t be attending this year’s reunion. I’m too old to drive that far and it’s too expensive to fly for an evening meal. I’ll see you at our 60th Reunion where, hopefully, we’ll have a Friday social hour and weekend activities. Y’all stay safe and God Bless You all! Doug Kalicki

LOOKING FOR:

This is like ads you used to see in a newspaper (or at least our parents did). I really AM looking for anyone viewing this website that has any knowledge of The Jenks Family I remember a 'Marty Jenks' but don't believe she was in our Class, maybe a year behind us, maybe a year ahead of us? Maybe there were siblings?  I just remember the name so well.  A dear friend of Steve Carr's brother-in-law, Julian Atwater (who passed away this week at age 90) has been trying to locate the family for several years, having spent her childhood with them.  If you hanve ANY knowledge of Marty, any other Jenks, or the Jenks family in general, please let me know, here, or in a private message.  We thank you.

hi paul - i saw that you are looking for information on the jenks family.   martha (marty) jenks lived in our apartment on brunswick street in rochester just after we bought our house and was there till about 1978!   she was working at the eastman house in the archives.    she then married someone (don't remember his name), but i think he was the librarian at alfred university, where they settled.   i believe she had two daughters.  however, i haven't been in touch with her for years, and have no idea where she is now...maybe alfred? 

Margaret Ireland

p.s.   i think marty's brother, bill, was a musician and lived in ohio!

Hi Class Mates, I will not be able to attend because my daughter Kelly is getting married the day of the reunion.  Remember Cathy and I were in our 40's when she was borned.

Actually Art, it was me that posted the memory of a Mr. Magee at Washington School; the same one?  I don't know, but you certainly sparked my memory of Miss Shannon!  I was in the chorus, and in the middle of the year switched from one side of the aisle to the other as my voice changed from tenor to bass (deep base, Johnny Cash range) - must have been those raging hormones!  Drop dead gorgeous as I remember, the long black hair.  The thing I remember the most was listening to the World Series during Chorus practice because her home-town team, the Baltimore Orioles, were playing.  Windows wide open on a georgeous September day.

Thanks for the Memory......

Even after reading your messages, I could NOT remember either a Mr. Magee or a Miss Shannon. HOWEVER, my older sister recently returned to me all my Batavians from our junior high years (long story), so I looked them up. These are their photos from the 1960 yearbook (can't seem to rotate the first one. . .sorry)! Enjoy your walk down memory lane. . .I still don't remember them!

Susan Monaghan (Katz)

Thanks, Art. I had a great birthday. . .and I'm continuing to celebrate for several days! Susan

Art - those are beautiful words, thank you.

I love it Art!  Thanks for sharing, the words, and your thoughts.  I may have it on a CD I have.

Art and Paul, I was probably the biggest Kingston Trio fan in the class of '65.  I saw them in concert numerous times over the years (Bob Shane eventually hired several replacement musicians after the group's break-up in 1967).  I still perform in coffee shops and open mics, and I often sing their songs, including "Scotch and Soda," and lots of people remember and like these songs.  The Trio were almost singlehandedly the impetus for what many people to this day call "the Great Folk Scare."  Of course, in high school I was a fledgling singer and instrumentalist, but I've worked diligently on both aspects of this music for the last (gasp!) 57 years.  I spoke to  Mark Cherniack a few years ago and asked if he still played guitar, but apparently he accidentally cut off one of his fingertips at some point in his life.  Playing and singing with him and the girls who sang with us is my favorite memory of BHS days.

John: Still alive and still missing that goddamn finger tip!

John A Birchler

So the missing fingertip doesn't grow back, eh, Mark?  Sorry to hear that.  Hope your new year is full of good stuff for you.  John

Huge memories of CSN&Y

"Go, take your 'love' then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don't need us

And it's a fair wind blowin' warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
I guess I'll set a course and go"

and he went...

Hi Art, That was so honest and so true. Married 50 years to Cathy Gerace ( Notre Dame HS class of 1968),  We had 2 sons and one daughter and 7 grandchildren and one more on the way.  Remember we had our daughter Kelly when Cathy was 40 and I was 43.

Paul Minor

WELL spoke Art..... do we all get a Christmas Turkey too?!  Sorry I didn't ask your permission before posting.... last minute sort of thing; but as I said, I was really moved by what you wrote, and felt it the best Tribute to our Veterans.  And now you follow up with yet more words of wisdom and delight!  How would you like to be Editor of this little 'Jornal' of the BHS Class of '65 !
