Thank you so much, Dream Team, Connie, Claire, Dan and Timmie, for your heartfelt efforts. You guys done good!!!

Thanks to all who attended. I am pretty sure everyone had a great time & enjoyed the casual atmosphere.

Marcia and Tony, I don't know if you had planned to be the "caterers" but you sure did a fine job of juggling all those nibbles. Thanks for putting up with it.

Brave spouses, we are so happy that you joined us, your crazy other halves. You made us complete.

Danny, Bob, Sylvia, we are so glad you've surfaced! I hope you stick with us. Skip, our prayers go out to you and your sweet Marilyn for her to get better soon.
More prayers for a speedy recovery for Bill Borrow who went kicking and screaming into surgery instead of to his reunion. Go Bill!!

Sorely missed were Mr. & Mrs. Stilo, who called several times but could not attend because of Mrs. Stilo's knee surgery. Speedy recovery to you! Also missed were Miss Price who called, Muggsie, Roy Crosby (you rat), Bill and Sheila Braddock, Dominik, Judy Kelley, Judy Hale, Judie Boettger, Dave Kent, Lester, Ginnie Apgar,Doug Austin, Theresa Butrico, Judiann Cairns, Dee Carovillano, Marian Friedman, Johnny and Pat Buczyk, Rocco Collora, Ann Graham, Jimmy Smith, Bill Colucci, Donna Grego, Loretta Hibbard, Betty Phillips, Red Dardzinski, Pat Orrico, Roger Mooney, Bob Peters, Pete Seiler, Tom Sumoski, Allen Tandyrak, Spaz and our other "lost classmates". I hope I have not overlooked anyone.

We hold closely in our hearts those who are no longer with us.

SPHS Class of '57 was a wonderful group, there is no doubt. Let's all try to keep in touch. There's safety in numbers!

Love to you all,
Pat

SAYING GOODBYE...DANNY AND BILL

Hi Pat
I know I speak for most everyone in saying what a great time we all had.
Of all the re-unions I went to this was by far the best for me. Theresa
and I thank all who made this event happen. What an unusual group of
friends. May God bless us all as we get older.
Thanks again
Bill & Theresa Luker
Pat,
First of all; excellent teamwork, A WOW WEBSITE, another great event of the lives of those '57ers and now there are more photos to share with all. We regret all may not have been able to attend and may we pray for them, but for those that did not want to attend that is another story - "sticks in the mud"!
It appears like we will have another reunion in Florida someday, many were talking about next year and some were saying every two years. I went to bed on Friday and Saturday evening with constant grins on my chubby face; why, because we all had an absolute ball; spouses included.
It was so special that with the small group and the informal setting, everybody got a chance to everybody else that was there; old friendships renewed and new ones started. It was interesting to see what direction peoples lives took and the importance of all coming for the reunion as if no time had passed.
Connie, thanks for doing the baskets. It is sitting on our counter-what a great remembrance.
We'll be setting up an album with the pictures with the names of all before we forget, the invitations that Pat made with comments on the memories of our special weekend.
Luv,
Fran and Dan
What a great time,  Thanks to all of you that worked on this. Great idea to have a reunion combined with a 3 day vacation on the gulf coast of Fla. Meeting everyone for the first time in 50 years was amazing.Although I didn't regonize anyone at first,( thank god for the name badges), it didn't take long for us to kid around and bust on each other like 50 years ago. Mentally we went back to the 50's for 3 days. It was great !  special thanks to Connie, Pat, Dan C.,Claire & Timmie, putting all this together. There was talk of doing this again over the next year or two. count us in.

Pat, Thanks again for all you did to make this reunion a success.  The badges were great and the booklets were a keeper

You looked so great and still could sit on your legs like you did in school.  I can remember what an up person you were and still to this day continue to  express a great personality.
 
The photos are great and I enjoyed so much growing young with the others.
 
I appreciate all of your efforts and those who you worked with to make this reunion a wonderful experience. If it were not the persistence of claire maggs and the constant correspondence from her I would have been one of those who was not able to attend such a wonderful weekend. I also want to thank connie, Marcia, timmie and gang for all they did to make this a wonderful get together.
 
My wife Ellie thanks everyone for making her feel part of the class and our extended lives.

Copied from a really nice card Bob sent:

Yo Pat! I want to thank you for all the effort you and the other helpers put into making the 50th reunion a memorable event. The informal gathering was a hit with all. Being a troubled young lad in school with an indiffrent attitude, it is my loss I didn't bond with all the students. Everyone in the class of '57 turned out to be successful, wonderful people and none went to jail-even me!

Bob & Arlene Olson

Thank YOU Bob and Arlene, and thanks for the acorns. I have looked up the correct planting procedure, and who knows? In another fifty years we may have an oak tree!
