On April 12, six 1967 South Catholic graduates met at the First and Last on Maple Ave. The purpose of the meeting was to first enjoy some south end camaraderie but also to discuss the possibility of organizing something for our class's 50th reunion. Given our class's history of reunions, a 50th reunion seemed unlikely. One of the many difficulties of organizing reunions, is trying to assure potential attendees that their personal high school friends will attend. We all have heard the stories of people attending reunions only to find their favorite people weren't there.

Well we met again and laughed again, and our group has grown to almost 20 just by word of mouth.

So we are taking a slightly different tack. Before planning an event we are contacting 1967 graduates to gauge interest in attending. Our intent is to include on the South Catholic reunion site those who have been contacted and confirmed an interest in attending. So far we have contacted and confirmed interest from:

Jim Allen, Terry Borjeson, Alan Desmarais , Pat Droney Sandy, Ray Dyson, Tom Griffin,Donna Grillo Antaya, Michael Hoban, Camilla Donahue Hynes, Russ Leavitt, John Mulrain, Jerry O'Brien, Annette Landry, Annmarie Lavoie Veniscofsky, Emmy Moran Vasquez, Joe Palombizio, Marty Roy, Shirley Jacques Schoenholz, Susan Hynes Tevald, Dick Yuskevich Lawrence

The list continues to grow daily. We will be meeting again soon to discuss dates and the event itself. The group is thinking of an event where people would be free to mingle and see as many old friends as possible. If you think you would be interested in hearing more or attending the event please email Alan Desmarais at alanjdesmarais@gmail.com
