Party? Did someone say PARTY? count me in! I sent Brian O'Rourke and email so he should check in soon and I'm sure he will contact Eileen. Anybody know the where abouts of Steve Mort?
Yes a Party!!! Nothing on Steve Mortenson, but we are trying to find as many people as we can. Please keep getting the word and website info out. See you in October.
I sent off a letter with the website info to Sharyn Iarkowski. My sister sees Chris and Carol Nevitt's sister and she said that she'll forward the info to them. Also, I believe Chris is married to Tracey's bro. so I'm sure she can get her the info. I'm very excited about this, and it seems everybody else is too. Hurry up October!
I'm so happy that is was not only me who wanted this reunion. I'm currently looking at five hotels any of which I think you all will really like. We do need to keep getting the word out so the numbers go up but I promise you there will be something in place by the end of April.
Thanks Patrice, Debbie and Joanie for getting the ball rolling on this...I think there are a lot of people excited about this!! If there is anything I can do to help, just ask...even though I'm not local, I may be able to help out!

30 Year Reunion...how did that happen?! Between here and Facebook I've reconnected with some old (face it, we ARE old!) friends - isn't technology great! Let's keep this thing going and see if we can reach the 80% attendance goal that seems to have been set! Hope all is well with everyone........1979 Rocked!
I have heard from Lori Totten and Cathie Andreyko so I will pass this web site onto them as it was passed onto me.See you on 10/24, just need to know when and what time.
Hey guys, I will have more details regarding the hotel and event information by the 1st weekend in March. Joanie will post all of it here at the website. Please send in any pictures that you want to share for the slideshow, she is updating things all the time for your viewing and listening pleasure.
As Sharon said, Steve Mort is married to Donna Pschar and they live in Manville; not sure why they haven't attended reunions in the past. I ran into Mort years ago (15 years ago?) when he was DJing a wedding my wife and I went to. He was great at it. I will contact Donna Pernini (Bernardo); her daughter Ashley and my daughter Natalie are juniors at Immaculata and best friends since kindergarten at CKS. I will also get in touch with Jim Sebes; he and I re-connected after our last reunion (10 years ago). We and our spouses regularly have dinner together. Rich Onderko and Sharon Keller are another couple who are married and live in Manville. I see Rich in church sometimes and he just ran for Manville Town Council (he didn't win). I saw Dave Kristopovich about 6 years ago in Staples in Bridgewater; haven't seen him since; I think he lives in PA. Mike Cordiano works for AT&T in Piscataway, NJ I believe (I worked for AT&T until 2002). I believe he lives in the Piscataway area. Haven't had contact with him for over 10 years. Chuck Magnani and Bruce Huff both live in Manville. Their kids went to CKS with mine. Ray Charneski and Sandy (class of '80) live in Manville; both their sons are classmates of both my daughters. I think Melissa Witt lives in Manville (saw her in church once). I'll also let Jackie Franzoso (Skorupa) know about the reunion; she's married to my cousin Hank (class of '78).
Get ready guys, I just found my copy of the 10 year reunion memory book and it's filled with some real funny pictures of us in "1989". I'm sending it up to Joanie for the slideshow.
If a venue hasn't been decided upon yet, I suggest we visit Lisa T. at her "Lost Reef Resort" in Belize, Central America. Would be intersting to see how many of us can fit into one of those cabanas. There are 5 of them, so there should be plenty of room for all of us! Thanks, Joan (and everyone else involved) for all of your hard work!
I have some more tidbits of info on missing classmates who haven't registered on the site yet, which I'm sure some other folks are also aware of, but I'll take credit for publishing it first. Rich Anderson lives around Hillsborough; his daughter and mine played CYO basketball in Hillsborough together a few years ago. Others I've seen around the past few years who I know definitely live in or around the Hillsborough/Manville area: Joe Vinchur, Cindy McGuire, Chet Leoszewski, Renee Dubicki, Susan Kaschak, Barbara Marsicano, the Zamorski twins, Lisa Polinski (Roginski), Nick Longo, Rich Drozd.
A few others: I don't know where they are today, but I might be able to get in touch with them via parent(s) who still live in Manville: Brian Collins, John Gubernot, Jim Klimek (where's he been?). I could ask Joe Tulner's brother Jules about Joe. George and Diane Pieros moved to PA about 6-7 years ago; my daughter Natalie and their son George, Jr. went to school together thru grade 5; we're kinda related too; his cousin Bob married my cousin Grace; I'll check with them. Finally, my ol' neighborhood pal, Mark Shaughnessy, alias "the Duckster". Heard he moved to Boston area around 8-9 years ago. Haven't heard from him since. I think that's it. The well is dry! (Sorry for trying to be such a know-it-all; I'd just like to see this reunion have a great turnout).
