Ken Dabney,

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the 50th reunion. I will be out of town that week.

Would like to attend the events if there are any leading to it. Are there any events leading up to this summer. Yes?

Amy Freed (Humbert)

Ken, sorry you aren't able to join us!  There are no other activities being planned by the committee, but I have heard of small group "mini reunions" happening.  Maybe your message will prompt something!

Chiquitia Montgomery

Hello to fellow Moreland Elementary students.

After the most recent renovation of Shaker Library, (previously Moreland), a cornerstone was installed and a plaque listing Principals from the time the school opened to it's closing.

SAVE THE DATE, SUNDAY, AUGUST 4, 2PM

SHAKER LIBRARY

15600 VAN AKEN BLVD, (entrance and parking in rear)

Search library website for updates closer to the date.

There will be a dedication for both items and organizers from the library would love for former students and teachers to attend. There will be displays of photos and artifacts, plus a chance for former students to share memories. I'm a former Morelander and on the Planning Committee. Please plan on attending and spread the word about the Dedication. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, Chiquitia!  I actually went to Moreland for kindergarten and part of first grade, and both my brother and sister went there K-12.  Lots of fond memories!

Inviting our classmates to use this message forum for group conversations and to get excitement generated for the reunion!  (It is NOT for person-to-person messaging, please.)   

I'll get it started:  Who's coming from Onaway??!

Lee B. Janovitz

Delores Jordan (Perry)

I'll be there representing Ludlow. Come on...let's fill up this train with those coming from all of the Shaker elementary schools, and those who joined us after! It's all about SHHS '74 for our 50th year! 

Sarah H. Fitzsimmons

We're coming!  Team Onaway is looking forward to our 50th!

Amy, Robin, Ann, Alice Lisa, Sarah (Edie and Karen.)

I went to Ludlow all six years, Class of 68. That was the best school at that time in Shaker and maybe the world. Sorry other Shaker Schools, truth is hard. I am Shaker Class of 74. I march in Pride, think Black Lives Matter, am a membeer of Democratic Socialists of America,  and Ludlow got me started on this path. I'd like to be riding that Ludlow train at the reunion but I'm in Maine, people counting on me to do what needs to be done. The usual excuses. But keep me informed, maybe I can make a quick getaway if I haven't missed things already. (The photo is me doing Shakespeare's Measure for Measure last month. I'm in red.)

I hope I won't be the only Sussex person there.

Nancy Neustadt (Goldstein)

I'm a  Sussex person -- but went to Moreland grades 1-3.  Loved both schools.

Hey Lomond

This land of ours is full of schools, there are schools that are great and small, but when it comes to praising them.

Lomond beats them all. 

Cmon Lomond alums finish the school song

Lee - I am proud of my school

Is my school proud of me

What she needs is boys and girels

Trained in loyalty.

When we work

When we play

With out schoolfriends dear

Good citizens we will be

So I'll be proud, be proud of LUDLOW school

And I'll make her proud of me.

LUDLOW, not some other pretender. LUDLOW!!!

Reading Laura's book now (in between performances of Titanic on the Jersey shore). It's fascinating, since we (our class) really lived through what she's writing about. So grateful we are using our reunion time to celebrate & explore our Shaker education & background (even legacy) on a deeper level. It was/is a brilliant idea. 💖

Leslie Gelb

Just ordered Laura's book! Look forward to the read...

Leslie Jane Burke (Wilson)

I read the book right after it came out and was fascinated by it. I was so ignorant of what was going on at the time, but recognized a few things and events. I enjoyed seeing sites and people listed in the book that I knew. Totally enjoyed reading it.
