Hi
Judy,
I
am unable to attend the reunion because I have a commitment to a wedding in
Vermont and obviously cannot do both. I was disappointed to find that
both events would be on the same day, but can't do much about it. The
wedding is actually a whole weekend of events, and we have rented a house,
etc., so no way to really combine the two. I would welcome the
opportunity to catch up with classmates after 40 (!) years (can this be
possible!) but it isn't going to happen this year.
Thanks
to all of you who work so hard on these events. Not an easy task. I
hope the event is a great success.

I have retired from a
school district job of 15 years as administrator of special education. I spent
15 years before that as a school psychologist. I am currently doing
"odd" jobs: teaching at a local university, training teachers in conflict
resolution and de-escalation, and training/facilitating schools and districts
on how to adopt schoolwide positive behavioral supports. And I am learning to
golf. So, that's my current obsession.

Hi Linda,
I'm not sure that I'll be
here on reunion weekend, but, just in case I am, sign me up for two
($100). I'll mail it in the next day or two.
My daughter just completed
her 3rd yr. of Vet. School, at Atlantic Vet. College, UPEI, Canada. At
the beginning of June, she's off to Arizona for a week of veterinary
volunteer service, on an Indian Reservation, then she returns to Canada.
Since I last saw her at Christmas, we've been trying to coordinate schedules so
that I can visit her in June, when she has a few minutes of free
time from classes/clinics, etc. It's going to be either the 2nd or
3rd week in June. Was hoping to have the time confirmed by now, but
it hasn't been, so if I'm not in Canada, I'll be at the reunion.
Hope it works out so
that I can attend the reunion.
Will check out the web
site, in the interim.

Hi
Linda,
Thank
you so much for your ongoing eforts with this over the years. My wife, Linda
and I will be there will be there with bells on-yikes, maybe not! but we will
be there anyway. I saw a few of the band people on the list- I'll see if I can
scare up a few others. Wouldn't an appearance by Floyd Lancia be a hoot!
Your
check is going out tomorrow. I hope all is well with you.
Best
Regards,
John Reid
Judy,
I receive the e-mails
from the 1968
with your class. I actually went to St Joe and graduated from there
in
1968. But I did go to Dawes in 5th and 6th grades
and South Jr High as you
did. I was in Ms Bakers 6th grade class with
you. Actually I lived at 33
Livingston Ave and
delivered the Eagle to your house for a couple of years!
I remember many folks on
that street...Yarmey, Drennan, Christophilis,
Atkinson, Jaffe,
Goldstein, Shaw, Stewart, Belland, Bullock, Sturgis, Roy,
etc. I could go on! It was a great street.
My son John actually was
in the last class to attend all six years at Dawes
and graduate. He had Ms. Baker and so did two of my
sisters. I ran into
her one day a couple of
years ago on the rail trail and she not only
remembered me very well
but my son and sisters as well. She was
great.
Whenever I am asked the
question...who was my favorite teacher...without
hesitation I say Elinor
Baker. She was the best.
I am trying to remember
those in that class. There was Mike
DiNicola, Steve
Cross, Maria Gasbarrone,
Bob Gellar, yourself...I know I was there.
Wish I
could remember more but
anyway it was one of my favorite years in school.
Regarding your search
for teacher names...there was a Mrs Prout 2nd grade,
wasn't there a Mrs Smith
also...I think 4th grade.
Anyway, nice talking to
you and glad to hear you are doing well.
I would
appreciate it if you
could keep me in your e-mail list.
Take care,
Dave

I am SO DISAPPOINTED to miss the re-union! We will
be in Chicago that weekend at a surprise 70th birthday party for a dear friend,
as well as moving our daughter out of Chicago. She is graduating from U of
Chicago the weekend before.
Please send my regards to everyone. I live in Williamstown and would love to
hear from some of my classmates. It looks like you have planned a great weekend,
and I am very sorry to miss it.
Joan Boivin Hunter
Just wanted to ask you to take my name off the
‘intending to come’ list since I can’t make it.
Please add my name to
the list of those who would love to attend and cannot. My oldest daughter
is getting married next month and guess who has to come up with alot of the
funds. I live in Los Angeles, so it's not right around the corner,
either.
I grew up way out West St., went to Pomeroy, across the street from the park
where the track was. I remember watching Mark Belanger fielding ground
balls....and late in his pro career, he joined the Dodgers, so that was a
thrill to tell everyone he was from Pittsfield.
I had a crush on Paula LeConte all the way through school and sat in front of
Karen Coy in HS history class and remember thinking how gorgeous she was.
Haha. I was always attracted to brainiacs.
Another memory was on the track team and I was fast, but how Paul Metallo
could just leave everyone in the dust. The high school football games
were so much fun. I always admired Tom Barry's athleticism and that he
was just a good guy, too.
Have a great time everyone. Someone should write a synopsis of all the
events and post it for all of us to read that can't attend.
Kerk Brown
It is with regret that
I am unable to make the 40th reunion but wanted to send my best along to all
who can and do. My calendar simply isn’t being cooperative around this date.
By way of update, 9
years ago I sold my physical therapy practice to a local healthcare system just
outside of Philadelphia and retired from healthcare. I have since been doing
commercial real estate development. I am the single Dad of 16 and 14 year old
girls and an 11 year old son. (Some of you just fell to the floor but I hope
were close enough to a phone to dial 911)
I have been just
outside of Philadelphia since 1974 and love it here. I still get back to the
Berkshires whenever I can. Best wishes to all who make it back……have a great
time!

Dear
It has been very pleasant reading everyone's remarks about the upcoming 40th
reunion. Amazing to think we have lived so long! Hopefully, all of you have
lived it well and are attending in good health.
I will be unable to attend this reunion, but send my very best regards. I still
have ties to
I live in
Perhaps I will make the 45th.
The very best regards to all.

HI
Paul and I will miss seeing our old friends at
Paul and I (Kathy Ferreira) married in 1971 and left
We have two children, Shane is 34 years old married with 3 children.
Our daughter, Karrie is 31,married and has 2 children .
Our life is blessed.
Enjoy, be happy and we hope to see you in 10 years.
Kathy Ferreira Mazur and Paul Mazur, class of "1968"
Gruntings
and Salivations. from Peter Nikitas.
Decided
that it was finally time to attend a reunion, and to join this illustrious
group. Re: groups; Groucho Marx once said, "I wouldn't want to belong to
any group that would have me as a member.". I missed the last reunion as
it was the weekend I cleaned the catbox. The one before that, I was stuck on
the International Space Station as a lab experiment. In the interim I've been
gainfully employed as a Crash Test Dummy and a Professional Clothesline
Stringer. Beginning on
I
did a quick read of all 3594 posts - right! - to the phs1968 site. Was pleased
to see the names of so many people I haven't seen, or heard about, in...40
years. Don't get out much, here at the monastery. Most recently, I saw Clark
Nicholls, when I was dragged - drugged beforehand - to the phs1967 reunion. At
that time, I told him I'd attend the '68 reunion. I thought I might not be able
to make it. My daughter, Tatiana, just completed her 3rd yr. at Atlantic
Veterinary College, UPEI, Canada. In early June she does a one week veterinary
volunteer program, on an Indian Reservation in Arizona, then she returns to
Canada for classes and clinics. Since I haven't seen her since christmas, we were
trying to find a "slow" time in her schedule, so that I could visit
her for a week. Fortunately, I saw her two weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was for
her grandmother's, my mother's, wake and funeral.
So,
we decided to put off Canada until later in the year, and I will be attending
the reunion.
Read
a post that suggested a golf get together. Great idea! I don't play golf, any
more. Quit playing when that Tiger kid kept beating me. To paraphrase Mark
Twain, "Golf is a terrible waste of a good walk." Rule out skiing in
June. Anyone for tennis? From the first mild days of spring until the snow
flies, I try to play just about every day; singles, doubles, mixed doubles,
Bosnian doubles.
Hope
to hear from each, and every one, of you.
Regards
to all.

I am sorry to say that I will not be attending the
reunion. I have not been able to make this happen. I really would love to see
everyone and truly appreciate the effort you have put into making it happen. I
wish that I was going to be there.
Send my best wishes to one and all,

Hi,
I've been planning to attend the 40th, but will not be able to make it to
Pittsfield that weekend. Please send my best wishes to those who attend.
I currently live in Nyack, NY, a small village about 30 min from NYC. I
work at Wyeth Vaccines as a Sr. Research Scientist in the Clinical Testing
Department. I've worked at Wyeth for almost 22 years, originally in
Rochester, NY. Before that, I taught German at a high school outside of
Rochester for 10 years. Been an interesting career!
My son Joe is teaching in Hong Kong on a Fulbright Teaching
Assistantship. He's been studying Mandarin and Cantonese. I got to
spend a week in December with him in Munich, Germany (where I studied for 2 yrs
way back when). He's flying back the 1st week of July.
My daughter Alyssa lives with me. She's just finished her 1st semester at
Rockland Community College and made high honors. It's great to have her
here, we do a lot of activities together.
I'm not far from the Berkshires, and make day-trips to see my aunts in North
Adams. Would like to meet up with some friends from
Best Wishes to All,

Dear Linda:
First, my apologies for the tardy response but I won't be able to attend our
number forty. I'm embarrassed to say that the last reunion I attended was
number twenty and that seems like it was just last year! There is hope,
however, for future events so keep the invitations coming. My sincere
thanks to you for organizing these get-togethers for so many years.
Our two sons, Seth and Scott, are in their mid and late twenties now so our
homestead here in northern California is maintained by me and Ellen, my wife of
36 years. A year ago we were blessed by the birth of our grandson,
Jeremiah, to parents, Scott and Heidi. We are fortunate that they live
only two hours away so we visit often.
Through various twists and turns, my career finds me currently working as vice
president of engineering for a high-tech startup company in Santa Rosa.
I'm fortunate to be working alongside friends whom I have known for many
years. I'm hoping that this will be my last gig and I'm looking forward
to retiring within the next five years.
My ties to Pittsfield are growing weaker. My mother, who was a widow for
thirty five years, remarried at the young age of eighty-five, believe it or
not. We sold the old homestead on Benedict Road a few years ago and she
moved to her husband's home in central Pennsylvania. I try to keep up
with Pittsfield news as best I can but the 3000 miles between takes its toll.
I've attached a picture of us with the two boys taken just a few years ago at
Scott's wedding. That's me on the left, and, yes, I have actually become
more handsome since the picture was taken.
The home address you have for me is correct. Here's some additional
contact info. (one of these days I'll update my contact info. on the

Take care Linda. Please give my best wishes to all my friends at the
reunion.

Clark,
Unfortunately I will
not be able to attend the reunion. I was
in Pittsfield last month visiting relatives but the timing on the reunion
doesn't work for June.
I live in Cary, NC and
have been in North Carolina for over 21 yrs with prior stints in Albany, NY,
Dallas, TX, Louisville, KY, North Andover, MA and Madisonville, KY. My 3 kids and 2 grandkids all live in the
area which makes us fortunate. I work
for a Private Equity company, managing their portfolio companies. Currently I am running an Aluminum extrusion
company with sites throughout the US and Canada.
Please give my best to
our classmates.

Hello all –
I am so sorry but I must
cancel our attendance at the reunion next weekend. We are in the process of
trying to start a self storage facility down here in St. Bernard Parish (

Hi Everyone,
I am sorry to say that I
will not be able to attend the 40th Reunion. It turns out my
school district is holding an Administrative Retreat this weekend that I
must attend. I was waiting for a response from my Superintendent whether
I needed to attend. I was holding off responding until I heard
back. Well, the superintendent just got back to me saying this weekend is
mandatory for all school administrators. I hope everyone has a fun time
and I will be thinking of you all. Tell David Chapman he will have to
give me a grand tour of the renovated theater sometime when I am up in
Pittsfield. My uncle still lives in Richmond, MA so I do still have
ties.
I hope we will be able to
get email addresses of everyone who attends. Make sure you post pictures on the
Web site too. I would like to keep in touch even though I can’t be
there. If anyone is in the Malvern, PA area please look me up. My
home is always open.
Thank you Reunion
Committee for working so hard to plan this event. Even though I can’t be
there, I know everyone will have a fantastic time. Best of luck and I
will make sure I attend the next one- 45th or 50th.
