Hey Jerry,

We missed you, and seriously wish you a speedy recovery. It sounds like you have really been up against it.

As one who has unergone both hips and a revision along with a knee and shoulder replacement, I commiserate with you. I am currently awaiting my penal tuck, and after seeing some of our classmates, I think we all can apply for a package deal. It was graet seeing all the "boys", and especially for me "Little Dickey Murphy"out of Mahwah, New Joisey.

Hi Brother,

Ed Farrell told me you were hurtin, I knew about Curtie. Glad she is doing better Since you weren't there I'm going to tell you about my 50th. You'd do it for me...no doubt!

Friday I show up with Billy, Clark,TKE and Dave for a TV round table discussion of "What it was like to to be a PMC Cadet" I understand it will be on U-Tube.

Next I went to the Alumni Building., saw General Tilelli's uniform and History of PMC, I was impressed.

Right outside on the football field where we played...The ROTC Cadets were putting on a skills contest for us. Of course Dave Irons,TKE, won.

Saturday I went to the Tailgate party at Quick stadium. Next,the football game and Broom Drill...We lost.

That night I went to our 1966,50th reunion dance. I had a great time. Saw Zippy,TKE.... Kevin,TKE, said he was in great spirits. That was my highlight of the evening and the weekend.

PS Missed some events but you were on the 50th committee, so you know about them. Thanks for the effort.

Col. Bill Usmc (Ret. ) Symolon

Jerry,  I was looking forward to seeing you again, but such is the luck.  Most important is your wellness and same for Curtie.  Hope you both get back on your feet and restored to full health.  We will meet again, so stay well.  Semper Fi,  Bill

Hi Jerry, I am so sorry to hear about the problems you are having relative to your surgery. The reunion was great and I was so much looking forward to seeing you and Curtie. I hope to get back to Bethlehem next year and I will be sure to call. I hope you have a full and successful recovery. God bless.

Hey Guys, take a look ay Kevin Kislings profile page.  Some great pictues of the reunion.  Anyone else with pictures PLEASE share.  Put them on your profile page or enter them in the photo gallery.

just because the Reunion was 2 weeks ago, don't forget to check the site.  We also need to get more people to sign up.  There were many reconnections of classmates at the Reunion.  This site will stay up for at least the next 6 years, so 'keep those cards and letters coming'.

WHO'S THE BEST CLASS

"66"

Hey Col Bill is that one of your BIRTHDAY PARTY buds?  Looks a little INTENSE to me.  Maybe next time I'm in FLA we could call upon her to sit next to Boltz and keep him calm!  Be Well and remember your friends in New Jersey!

Hey everyone, Frank Pellegrini and Joe Carter visited with Jan Zarkin this week. 

Zip wanted to wish Everyone and their Family's a Happy Thanksgiving.

If you get a chance, drop Zip and Email.  The Reunion was special to him, and to everyone else. Jan's Email address is jzarkin@gmail.com .

I'll add my wish to each of you and your familys' for a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving.

D. Clark Wonderland

Dear Classmates,

I have sad news to report.  Frank Pellegrini called to let me know that Jan Zarkin passed away early this morning.  Those who attended the Reunion remember that Jan was there and was thrilled to be able to see so many Classmates. We don't have many details of possible arrangements.  Jan's obituary will appear in the Philadelphia Inquirer tomorrow or in the next few days.

We all need to keep his wife Joann in our thoughts and prayers as she deals with her loss.  We have all lost a classmate, friend, brother.  I am sure many of us have stories of Jan as we knew him.  Those are the things we need to remeber now.  That was who Jan was, not the man afflicted with ALS over the last 1-2 years.

God Bless

Jeffrey Travers

Clark,

What sad news.  Jan was a friend to all  he loved life and all our classmates.

Let's try to remember the good days and how "Zippy" brightened them.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to his wife and family.

RIP my friend.  May you sit at the right hand of God.

With tears of sadness,

Jeff

W. David III Eckard

Very sad news.   His courage in the face of his illness was truly remarkable.

The following appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer this morning.   It shows another side of the man we knew as Zippy!

RIP my brother until we meet again!

Jan Zarkin is dead...I knew it was coming..but still it hurts.

Kevin W. Kissling

Just learned of Jan Zarkin's death. I spoke to Jan early this year. He seemed upbeat given his ALS diagnosis; and he was - "hell bent" - on attending our Class Reunion in October. We all enjoyed the time we spent with Jan and Joann at the dinner on Saturday evening. He could not speak; nevertheless, he showed great courage and he maintained his exceptional sense of humor (using his cell phone to text jokes back and forth). You will be missed brother Zip!

Charles L. Eichenberg, Jr

My sympathy to Jan's family. I lost a family member to ALS so I know what Jan went through. He is no longer suffering and is at peace. I am glad I saw and spoke with him at the reunion. Jan is now with our classmates who have gone before him.

Charlie

Edward F. Jr. Farrell

My Deepest Sympathy to Joann, just seeing him at the Reunion made it worthwhile.  Zip, Peace be with you my old friend.  My you be greeted by our Classmates on the other side.  Zip, until we meet again!

I just got done watching the HC Voices of Freedom which Bob Grosch posted & I must say that the 4 classmates who provided great memories: Bill Symolon, Clark Wonderland, Dave Eckard & Bob Grosch were superb. Thks for the memories, Pete Rohana

W. David III Eckard

Thanks, Pete...  It was a fun thing to do and I am humbled to have been chosen to participate!

Theodore R. Zak

Thank You to the Homecoming planners and all that attended a once in a lifetime weekend.  I am extremely proud of all those who attended.  For those who could not attend for many reasons I implore you to try to attend in the future.  I cannot believe how I was transported back to the old days of the cadet experience and how I felt no time had passed since 1966. (Mentally, not physically) .  To all our classmates who all no longer with us I felt your presence during the the  weekend as we recalled of our past experiences at PMC.  Hopefully this will be a start to many future Homecomings.  May all my classmates have a healthy and Happy New Year..

Peter J. Jr. Rohana Esq

Sadly, I am reporting the death of one of our reunion committee members, Jim Walls. I saw his Obit today. He died on 1/6/17. Go to www.carrfuneralhome.net for details. Jim was a valuable member of our committee & will be greatly missed.
