Barbara Helgesen (Van Schaick)
I was really surprised to hear that Tom Block was also a renowned author. Delightfully surprised I might add. I will admit that since my high school years I have not been an avid reader. I have this little problem ., reading puts me to sleep, When I decided to go back to school it became a HUGE problem. I used a lot of tapes and I had a high school student help before exams. When I finished my training I was very relieved. Even now, I want to read a news article or a magazine article and nitety night. So the computer makes it easier. Caffeine helped in the old days but now I enjoy my sleep too much. What a class we turned out to be. Tom Block; Nelson DeMille;Howie Kanner; Marty Ecker and come on classmates who else? Ahhhh...Danny Barbiero; Ann Ryder travelling the world and our own Sharon O'Neill...what would we do without you??????? Here's another little tidbit; Ronnie Pfuhl married my cousin Dee Helgesen after meeting at my house. He was my brother Harry's friend. Ronnie's nickname was "LEGS" Harry was "EARS" and if I remember correctly Gene Blum was "BUBBUS"...I have no explanation except for Harry...his ears were somewhat out there. Now that he is almost 70 years old, he's filled out , a whole lot, and his ears seem quite normal to me. I also have a funny story to tell about Ronnie Rolf.I'll tell that one next time.Someone else has to write first!!!!!!
Go Class of 1962!!!!!!! Barb Helgesen VanSchaick
