Just a quick note to inform class that Jerry (Frank) Golden passed away in Virginia Beach, VIrginia in February 2021.  Bob Kaplan

Bobbie Hatoff (LaFronz)

So sorry to hear about Jerry Golden.    He was a great guy and always had a joke or a pun to send me.  We stayed in touch a few times a year and I will miss his corny jokes and  his great personality.

Thanks Bob,   That is sad news.  I agree Bobbie, Jerry had a great, always sunny personality and sense of humor  He always looked as young and fit as he was in high school at the reunions, right through #50.   Good memories.    John

Ditto to your comments, John. Gerry was a really fine person and I'm sure he'll be missed by his loved ones. He never seemed to age. He was always easy to recognize as the reunion years went by.

I was saddened to hear of Jerry's passing.  I remember him very well.  He was a gentleman in every sense of the word.  I remember snapping a photo of him and Ellen Travolta at one of the Reunions.  The Lord rest his soul and comfort his loved ones.

Linda Stein (Poskanzer)

So sorry also to learn of Jerry's passing..  He was really one of the good guys!!   I remember him buying me a drink at a recent reunion.  So let's drink a toast to him when we gather for our 65th next year.

John Hermos

Hi all or whoever still uses this website,

     I was thinking (bad idea I know), that if we were to have a 65th class reunion next year, we do it via Zoom. This could certainly include more out-of-towners, for whom travel may not be so easy these days, and the expenses of a reception and dinner.  During the pandemic, I've participated in quite a few Zoom-celebrations, they work quite well and give a chance for everone to see and hear from everyone else who attends.  

     It certainly wouldn't be the same, seeing our pretty faces in little squares rather than in the flesh, and missing all those nice hugs and kisses, (Ginny Kiss as well) but it may be the most practical way to get together, stay connected, and share our great memories.  

    Hope to hear from you,  Hugs and kisses,    John

Hi John  -- and anyone else who's reading and responding to these messages.  I think a Zoom reunion is a good idea.  Of course I'd rather see everyone in person, but if Zoom would make it possible to see Guy Scandlen and Mike Gregg and a few others who used to show up but don't make the trip anymore, it would be absoutley great.  So I"m in!  Love ro all, Linda

Bob Krehley

Great idea John! With the "new normal" it might be the only way to have a reunion.

Hugh Fullerton

Yes, I'd go for that.  If it can be in-person, I'll plan to be there as well.  We may have the best of both:  My Rotary club, now that things have opened up some, uses a hybrid style.  The club meets in person for lunch, but has the meeting on zoom as well, so that those who might not come (or sometimes away) can participate.  Awkward, perhaps, but it works for our relatively small group.  IMHO, the big reunions were great (I connected with people I had not heard from in years), but we could scale it back to, say, just one night, renting a venue with a bar, not making hotel arrangements.  The organizers have done a geat job -- better by far than people I know who went to other high schools 60+ years ago, but let's not ask too much of them -- just say thankyou.

Wishing Leonard and Stanley Sinowitz boys a very Happy and heathly Birthday.  Bob Kaplan

Leonard Sinowitz

I will take this happy and sincere wish for my Brother Stan and I, and look forward to the same wish for our 100th Birthday Celebration as well.  Thank you.  Stay well by dear Class Mates.

Lenny Sinowitz

Hugh Fullerton

The twins and I practically grew up together, as our houses adjoined back-to-back.  They were among my earliest friends, and I have many great memories of times we shared.  Yes, a very happy birthday to both.

Bob Krehley

We certainly need not wait for 2027, to have our next reunion. If we did another Zoom or Skype, which I prefer because Microsoft now owns Skype, it would be a lot of fun to meet. If anyone is still checking  https://www.classcreator.com/Englewood-New-Jersey-Dwight-Morrow-1957/class_response_form.cfm?whattodo=Add

let us hear from you!

I was very sorry to learn of Barbara Meyer's passing. She certainly was a Ridgefield stalwart. While we were not close in school, she always did a great job on the reunions, and I enjoyed chatting with her. She will be missed!
