ANNOUNCEMENTS
Danny Guttman posts this memory of a couple of Rec League Softball games back in 1964. There's apparently also a challenge for a rematch at the 60th! Wouldn't that be fun!
Also, as long as I have you all on this, mom saved everything-including the attached 1964 articles from the Reporter Dispatch (Distorter Repatch) White Plains (city) summer softball league from 1964
As i recall the team made of WPHS varsity (Mike Belmont, Alan Craven et al) came in first. Amazingly, the team i helped put together-the Darts- came in second--including Tom Uhlman, Barry V, Art Palmunen, Art Leffler, Richard Boyd.
Chuck Stogel and the Goulds were another team--see the articles
Barry and Tom suggested i post the articles to the whole Bill L group with note "we had promised the Stogel/Gould team an every 60 years reunion rematch--how can Don (Doug?) declines 60th reunion?
I remember, as does Barry V, the game written up in the attached where we played the Stogel/Gould team. I was pitching and giving up a big lead. Barry, my dear friend and teammate, was sitting on the bench and heckled me "He wants to get into Harvard, but he can't even hold a lead." (ask Barry)
WPHS 60th Class Reunion
Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024
Scarsdale Golf Club
$150 pp
Although the Reunion Committee has sent our numerous emails and Facebook posts containing information about our upcoming class reunion, it has occurred to me that we haven't reached out to the group on Classmates. So, forgive me if you have seen this information dozens of times but we don't want to miss anyone who may want to join in the fun.
Bill Langham designed a registration form online to make it easy to register. If you have not registered yet please do so as soon as possible using this link:
Hotel rooms at discounted rates are available at Hyatt House in White Plains and Baymont Wyndham in Elmsford. We are planning other events beginning with a gathering on Friday evening Sept. 20th. We will announce details later. It is our hope that as many classmates as possible will attend and make this our best and most memorable reunion yet. If you have any questions please do feel free to contact us.
Coronavirus Zoom Meet-up
Social Distancing at its best!
Hey Tigers - during this time of uncertainty and being in a most vulnerable group (70+), I wanted to share with you all what a few of us did Monday afternoon.
We had an hour-long Zoom meeting - it was fun, not too hard to do technically (you might want to talk to your kids or a grandchild if you need help) but we had a virtual face-to-face meeting. Bonnie Slavitt logged in from California, Vernita Jackson from Atlanta, Donna Rhodes Joseph from WP, me from Rye and a frustrated Betty Spence from Keene,NY up in the Adirondacks, which may lack some bandwidth.
It was great catching up with everyone. Most of us are "sheltering-in-place". Donna is in her second week of 'self-quaranting" so she can visit her new grandchild and we are all coping as best we can.
There will be another Zoom session next Monday (4PM Eastern Time). Please get the sotware (it's a free app) and join us. Tell everyone how you're coping. Share tips and survival stories. Bonnie suggests that everyone bring a joke to share. Also, BYOB.
The White Plains High School Class of 1964 will gather at Sam's of Gedney Way in WP on September 14, 2019. A combo cocktail reception with cash bar & dinner buffet with live DJ and dancing should keep us roaring throughout the evening.
Plans for Reunion Weekend activities are in process - possible Tiger Football game, walking tour of the high school, and a mixer Friday night (cash bar) at the Cambria Hotel on Main Street.
Per previous reunion feedback, efforts have been made to make the ticket price more moderate at $100 per person (was $150 in 2014). Watch this space for ticket purchasing details*. Also, please visit the WPHS Facebook Group for the lastest announcements.
And finally, PLEASE spread the word! See you in September!
Bill Langham, for the Reunion Committee
