Hi all, Just wanted to thank everyone involved in organizing the 50th for a great time. The ultimate testament to your success was when a spouse of a class memeber came up to me and said she felt very much a part ofthe Class and was having a terrific time. Cudos to you all! 

Richard Ward

Marilyn and I thank you for all your all your positive comments ( no negatives other than not having water on the tables). Everyone on the committee were of great help! Next reunion is scheduled for June 15th, 2019.

We will forward, via email and on this web site, info on ordering videos and the picture books (for those who did not already pay at the time).

Stay Healthy-drink lots of water.

Thought I had posted Sunday morning. Probably went on some other Reunion site! I had the most wonderful time. It was great seeing everyone. I kissed so many people I lost count! How fortunate we were to be at Cheltenham HS in such interesting times. We were truly the lucky ones.

What an event.

Just now decompressing, between Friday's Football gathering, the Reunion, a Grandson's Birthday on Sunday and the Eagles on Monday night football.  Some weekend.

A huge thank you to all the folks who worked tirelessly to pull everything together and make it as wonderful as it could be.  It was a true "sensory overload" to see all the teriffic classmates we have, that made the effort and journey to come the the event.  I know that we missed all those who couldn't make the trip, but hopefully they'll find the site and catch up.

Very best to all!

Hope you all returned home safely with no obstacles along the way...

I keep hearing , " How lucky we were "   ashame it took us so long to realize that..

Fifty years...no rush !

Great to see you all, our pleasure to plan this reunion and keep it together..

Rick and Marilyn  "  High Fives all around    !    Penn St... Bowl bound now  ...

I was told early on...  Not too many people will dance.. they wanna sit around

and reminisce ...  " Yeah... not what I saw..". everyone was out of control...dancin' their

butts off...  what a frat party..  

Wishing you all good health ahead and praying for peace in the world..

See you real soon...   I'm hearing five years...  sounds like a plan..

" I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places,  that this heart of mine embraces

all day through..."

Warmly,

Stu Weitz

I had  great time with everyone that came on Saturday and Sunday. Just to know that everyone was well and having a great time was such an uplifting experience. Stu and I work Senior Residences and entertain and let me say that it will take a long time for anyone I saw Saturday to even approach that stage. You all looked "Mahvalous"...Dancing with some of the finest , smartest and best looking women around is a pretty cool gig. We have to do it again before I get out of breath.....AGAIN!

Thank you for just BEING. The world is a better place when you realize there are so many nice people still around . I was beginning to feel that nobody thought as i do and then I find all of you to play with. What a great "Playdate". Who needs kids at a playdate ? Not us ! How could so many feel so young all at once in one room...What a kick !

Stewart "Stu "Weitz

On Sunday, I posted this note under "Announcements" instead of here. Posting it again here because I want to keep saying it! 

To the organizers of our 50th reunion.

Thank you for the fantastic evening you created for all of us. The experience was not only great fun, I found it touching in unexpected ways, memorable, and important! The stories I heard (and maybe some that I told) going back to elementary school were priceless. The joy that everyone seemed to express at seeing everyone else - sometimes people we hardly knew in high school - was palpable. I left wishing we had more time together.

To those of you who weren't there, you were missed!!

With great appreciation and affection,

Alice

Oops, I posted to the Announcements page too.  Just wanted to thank the Reunion Committee for all of their effort.  They did a terrific job.  The reunion was a blast.  Looking forward to the next one.

From Louise Bodamer Horna;

Many thanks to the reunion Committe for all their hard work over the last year and especially for creating such a wonderful setting for the 50th.  I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see my long-time (not old) friends!  I am a hugger and I received many warm hugs and no surprised faces on Saturday night - good stuff.  The personal messages that were shared with me were especially meaningful.  I left the reunion feeling very touched and also younger than I have in a long time.  We are lucky to have such great classmates!

Ellen Canter (Greenberg)

Hi All~

Just wanted to add my 2 cents by thanking all those involved in putting the reunion together. Great job! It was most definitely worth the jet lag to see and experience everyone. Great to be 17 again for an evening, although second time around was so much better because there was no pretense. The reconnections were filled with warm and wonderful feelings. I laughed; I cried. Looking forward to June 15, 2019!

Susan Freedman (Varbero)

Started to write this since Sunday; been full of emotion and now I'm trying to recollect it in tranquility (English major, of course), but it's difficult...

First, heartfelt thanks to Rick, Mariiyn, and all CHS classmates who did yeoman's service as usual to make sure we had a fabulous reunion, way too short, of course, especially for us out-of-towners, but so greatly anticipated and appreciated.  I promise I will help next time, which I hope is in five years (or less)......

It's probably weird to tell you all that I have a great love for my fellow classmates, most of whom didn't know me back then and vice versa, but I don't care.  Was so happy to speak to many of you Saturday, too.  It would be great to get to know you more; we all seem very interesting people, don't we?  (I'm sorry I didn't realize some of you stayed on in the bar afterward and could have extended the night a little more.)

I regret I didn't leave much of a mark in high school but it has left an indelible mark on me----not a tattoo, of course, just in my heart.   (By the way, I killed at EP and Ogontz---in chorus, orchestra, and talent shows, but wasted my high school years, sadly, reading, smoking, and being a faux beatnik----I still read).Pure happenstance is responsible for my being able to attend junior and high school with you, and how lucky I am to have been a student in one of the top ten school systems in the country (especially then) and to benefit from a college-level education.

 Sorry for the long-windedness.......Anyway, attending reunions is a unique way to be in a room with people who are all the same age and have a shared history, and at at this point in our lives it's wonderful to have the sense of feeling simultaneously young and old(er). 

I'd be happy to see you if you're ever driving up the NY Thruway---I'm about three miles from Exit 18 (New Paltz). Call me (845-255-9662)!  Or if any of you ever get together before the next time, let me know.......  Everyone, stay as healthy as you can!   GO IGGLES!

It was a great reunion and so much fun to see everyone after so many years.  Thanks so much to the reunion committee for such hard work!  Nancy Kauffman Seigal

Paula Prane (Marian)

Thank you to those who volunteered to plan and execute the 50th reunion. What an awesome experience to catch up with old friends from more than 60 years ago. Now that I'm retired I look forward to reconnecting with some old and new friends.

A week later, and I'm still feeling the glow from our reunion! Seeing old(er) classmates and renewing ties was wonderful! What a perfect night!! Louise Bodamer Horna and I spent this past week at the beach retelling stories of our CHS glory days. How terrific to be able to revisit them!  A BIG thank you to Ricky, Marilyn, Sheri, Diane, Stu, Richard and all who worked so hard to make it perfect! It is a tremendous amount of work to plan and execute such a large event; it was appreciated by all!!! Have a great 5 years, everybody! See you in 2019!

Thanks to all who made our 50th reunion a memorable experience.  Even my husband liked it.  He especially liked the classmates doing their rendition of "My Girl."  I know it was a huge undertaking.  Thank you.

Cynthia Berman

Our reunion was beyond any of the expectations that I could have drempt up.  It was sooooo FANTASTIC!!!!

Of course i want to thank the reunion committee for such a stellar performance; that goes without saying.  

To my classmates; the love, openness, kindness, and acceptance was an experience to behold.  It didn't

matter whether or not we had connected much back in '64 or not.  We are connected now!!

I had such a wonderful time, and am so glad that I made the journey from the West.

Keep smiling,

Cynthia Berman
