Yes! Attending Reunion
School Story:

I firmly believe that the education I received at Teaneck High School was excellent and allowed me to perform well in both college and medical school. I had good friends and found my classmates to be good people. I was a very quiet and introverted person then but had to come out of my shell to be a functional physician. I still tend to be quiet among those whom I do not know well.

If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would have done differently at Teaneck High School?

First, I would have been more adventurous in course selection. Second, I would have tried to expand my circle of friends. Third, I would have tried to be more outgoing.

Comments:

I am a family physician who has practiced most of his career here in the Reading, PA area. After 25 years of running my own practice and devoting too much time to the practice of medicine, I sold my practice to a local hospital and then moved on to my current line of work in the field of occupational medicine (care of the workforces of local companies). I now have an 8 to 5 job with no call or pager and provides a much needed respite for both my wife and myself. I have remained in good health although I ignored crushing chest pain in December of 2011 and had a stent place in January of 2012. Fortunately, my foolishness did not lead to heart damage or death and I am fully functional. I ran for years after high school graduation but now walk due to sore knees. I love reading about military history and gardening in season. I am involved in re-enacting at the Danial Boone Homestead and my wife has made most of the period appropriate cloths I will need.

I recall Nancy fondly as a soft spoken kind person who was always impeccably dressed. She demonstrated a personality which was a lesson for me so blessed happy birthday in happiness and good health

Sad to lose another classmate whom I recall as a superb member of the bowling team. May he rest in peace

It took me a while to image Roger but then it all came back to me.  A red haired goalie for one of Bill Powley's excellent soccer teams.  And now I image the classic match up against Hackensack in our senior year.  One goal only by Hackensack.  Heaven has yet another 6T9 classmate.  We will all meet him there in time.  Let us live each day the best we can in the memory of those who go before us.   Jon Dreazen

Hello after many years having probably crossed paths in honor English with Miss Shelby and her in the edges writing with her mechanics pen and well as French. I attended med school at the U of R just after you left the Eastman School. Eastman has recently had a lovely expansion of their facilities. My good friend from medical school took organ lessons during his medical school years with the head of the organ department. I would often accompany him (as a spectator) while he practiced. I cannot read or play music but I revere organ music as well as the complexity of a true tracker organ. Best wishes and hope to see you at our 50th reunion if possible. JRD

I, as with all others who have shared, will miss Jeff and remember him fondly.  He was my first friend when we moved to Teaneck in 1956 as we were only 2 blocks from each othere.  I remember sitting on the stoop of the back door of the house pretending that we were pilot and copilot of the Starship Enterprise as we were both "Trekies".  I remember when Jeff was with me at the Whittier School field, saw a rabbit and let go with a fastball that hit the poor thing in the head and did it in!  He did have a wicked fastball back then.  Unfortuantely, as the years passed, I allowed our relationship to become minimal as I did with so many others.  Now, I must mourn the loss of a friend from my past with whom I did not keep in contact and therefore missed being part of the life of the wonderful man and doctor he became.  A lesson learned I hope.  May he rest in peace and may Dianne be embraced by the love of those around her.  Jon Dreazen

Greeting from Reading, PA. My wife is a breast cancer survivor of 15 years. She found the offending lump herself so I am an advocate of breast self exam speaking both as a husband and a physician. I always tell those with cancer to never look at statistics--each of us is unique and all statistics are wrong since they reflect treatments that were used 5-10 years ago. Best wishes and blessings for your ongoing treatments and recovery. JRD
