Sorry we couldn't attend the reunion. I have had some health problems. I want to thank all of those who signed the wonderful card that Patty (Bush) Tippi sent me. I will be going in for a main valve replacement in my heart within the next month or so. Once again, thanks for thinking about me, and we will definitely be at the next reunion.

Hello there. I just received a phone call from Jack Eve. Zowie! He related what a fine time was had by all reunion attendees. I really regret not being there and hope to not miss another. Too many to list but some come to mind easily. There is Ann, the doctor's daughter. Virginia, who sat two seats behind me in home room. A pole vaulter, only Velma I have ever known, and Mahoning's Hyde's Drug Store Vivian. Further, there are Faith, Hope etc. Joan, go Baugh-Cobaugh, fingers Haims. Yes, then there's Humming bird Marilyn. AND MANY MORE!!! Can you identify yourself? PA and NV email address are the same.

Memories of the 55th Reunion: On my drive up to New Castle last Friday evening, I said to myself, "Why am I doing this?" On my way back to Pittsburgh after the brunch on Sunday, I said to myself, "Wow, am I glad I came !" There's something wonderful about seeing your old classmates, re-connecting with good friends, and enjoying being together after all these fifty-five years. I never had a conversation I didn't enjoy -- just reminiscing is great. The committee did a fabulous job of planning all four events -- perfect locations, good food and clever touches right down to the froggy centerpieces. Thank you very much for all of your organizational skills and for providing such a "fun" atmosphere.

Thanks to all who made this reunion such a memorable occassion. It was so nice to see people you haven't seen in many years. It would be nice if we could have an informal picnic for our 56th like we did for our 51st. I realize that many people do not live in the area but maybe a survey could be taken to see if people would be interested and if they feel they would actually attend. We are all aging (what a shame) and in 5 years many of us may not be able to travel that far to attend. Thanks again to the committee who made this possible and to the people who attended from far and near.

We just got home from a fabulous weekend. Thanks, to all who made it so special. Everything was outstanding, from the food, the people, the memories and the trip to the high school. It was one of the best. I hated to see it end. Wishing you all a great year ahead.
