Hi All old dear Friends-
It was great seeing all of you last year, and I wish I could make a lunch get together. If we plan one over the holidays that would make a great present for all of us as well as for me being in NY anyhow.
The 70th birthday party - what time of year next year would you all prefer? Would you all like to go back to Danford's in Port Jefferson or do we have another suggestion?
Our reunion committee is starting work on this - Roy, Ellen, Susan, Loretta, Billy and myself- but please be part of the committee, lets get our ideas together and have fun with it.
By the way, the class of 69 just had it's reunion a few weeks ago.
Here is a report, according to my sister (class of 69), who attended both:
On the upside they raised $10,000 for scholarship purposes and donated it to EMHS. They hired a singer from the group "Brooklyn Bridge" to entertain them. They also had a bigger turnout, actually a bit too big for her liking, like 150 people or so.
Some of them marched in the parade that we could not logistically do last year, as their reunion was held much closer to Elmont, I forget where, a Marriott or something..
They had Kenny Geils, who was at one of our earlier reunions, and Mr Goldstein, one of our Art teachers who is in his early 80's (who told my sister she remembered me- which was nice for me to hear)
The downside, according to my sister, was that our place (Danfords) was much nicer, their music was way too loud ( I guess they had a DJ along with the notable performer) their's more expensive, our's much more fun, she had better conversations at our's - which surprised her but maybe you couldn't hear the other guy over the music, and last but not least- our food was a lot better.
Well maybe she was a biased witness but I know one more thing we did that topped anyone else. Our cheerleading squad put on a great performance which will stay one of my favorite memories of our fun night!
