Just got clued into this site.  Was in shock to see how many have passed away.  That's a huge proportion of our group.  Stunned.

Hi Everyone. I was so upset and saddened to learn of Jonathan's Herman's passing. I spent most of 9th grade at his home, hanging out with him. He was hilarious! I will miss him even more so. Does anyone know how and when he passed?

Best, Best, Marilyn Reisman

Thank you to the amazing committee who brought us all together. I had a great time and appreciated each event that you planned. Thank you also to everyone who came and shared their stories with me. It was very meaningful to me to connect with you. Please stay in touch!

Maxine Ahearn (Veduccio)

Bravo to the whole committee who gave their time and energy, (which was enormus) for the Class of 65 to have such a wonderful reunion.  My husband and I only made the Saturday night event but, it was incredible!!! Remember, you all brought so much joy to so many, and didn't make a dime! Ha Ha.  Hope to see you all again at the 60th.....Maxine Ahearn Veduccio

I join in the previous comments thanking the committee for their good work. Louise and I had fun touring the school, meeting folks Saturday night, and--taking advantage of our rare presence in New England--meeting separately with a few classmates that weren't at the evening event. This was our first reunion, hopefully not the last!  

Richard Lord

To All My Classmates:

I am Richard Lord, and also speaking for one to whom I beloing, Dr. Nancy Lord Zearfoss, we enjoyed our reunion with you. I was pleaed to again meet with old friends, but I was also pleased to meet amd make new friends with classmates I did not know. This was a great and joyful surprise for me.

Someone needs to say this about us, our generation, and so at this time it shall be me.

Tom Brokow said our parents' generation was the "Greatest Generation" and the "Generation that Saved the World." However, I belive we are the "Greater than Greatest Generation" as we are the "Generation that Changed the World. " Our parents left us we a lot of "Stuff" They left us a ton of garbage to clean up. They left us with a lot of "isms" as in racism, sexism etc. to address and resolve, we did just that, and we have much good that we did to reflectt upon.

Review what laws we had back then and look how far we have come and where we are now. We have come a long way, but we are not there yet, and we have not yet reached the moutaintop of justice, equaility, and oportunity. I know this as the Chaitrman of the Southern Maryland Tri-County Commuinty Action Committee - ww.smtccac.org now as a retired federal employee and now volunteer.

My first job when I got my undergrad degree in 1969 was as the director of a Boys' Club of American in an African American community of Trenton NJ. Hardest but best job I ever had. The reason I went this career path of public service was because at a civil rights march I organized in 1967, Julian Bond said to me, "Richard, if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem" and "If you are going to talk the talk you have to walk the walk." So, I went from marching to walking.

Our generation not only chaged the world, but we turned it upside down. Look at tecnology, medicine, and our music, yes, OUR great music in addition to the social progress we initiated. I love our generation. I love us.

And, we are not yet done. We shall not go silently into that goodnight. We shall go out kicking and screeming but also singing and dancing.

Love you all,

Richard

And one last thing, try to change heart today, and tomorrow, and the next, for that is way to clearing a path to the mountaintop.

Richard Lord

Love is the answer, love you all, and if you ever are down my way, please stop by

Sally Gleason (Sciretta)

James Holicker (Holicker)

Jane Shuman (Pollock)

Delightful to catch up with so many classmates. Hope to hear from some of you going forward. Thank you, reunion committee, for providing the forum for a wonderful weekend! 

Linda Stadtman (Knox)

My heartfelt thanks to all who put this wonderful reunion together!

My only regret is that there was not enough time to greet and talk to everyone.   To those I was fortunate enough to see and talk to......Thanks for the memories.    And to those I didn't,.....maybe at our 55th or 60th??????

I would love hearing from anyone, anytime.  The booklet shows my email incorrectly.   It is lindasknox10@gmail.com.  

To All.......stay well and be happy until we meet again.

Wonderful weekend of activities, I add my many thanks to the committee for all the work in organizing the reunion, and hope you had as much fun as the rest of the class, and had time to kick back and enjoy our 50th events.  Ginny Kosmo

Virginia Kosmo

Well, Richard, perhaps Tom Brokaw's Greatest Generation--our parents--left us with a lot of "stuff," but, if our generation was able to get beyond the "isms" and correct some wrongs, I believe we were able to do that because of the education, wisdom, upbringing and love that our parents gave to us.  They played a part in what would become our future accomplishments.  So, I'm still on the Brokaw side.  Ginny Kosmo

Responses are rapidly becoming a chorus, but everyone appreciates earned appreciation and the Reunion Committee earned it. What could have been a proverbial thankless task transformed into a triumph of camaraderie. I add my voice to the chorus thanking the Committee.  Richie Ryan especially -- he unexpectedly bought me a drink on opening night and lubricated the proceedings thereafter with good will and good cheer.

Robert Borteck

I echo the kudos accorded by so many to the Reunion Committee for doing such a great job in both organizing and executing such a wonderful get together for all of us to enjoy.  I thought it was just great.  I very much enjoyed seeing so many friends (all at one time and in one place) that I haven't seen in decades, some of whom I had not seen since those treasured years at Ward School.

Upon reflection, one realizes how special and important we are to each other.  We are the (only) people that constitute the friends of the most formative years of our lives. We are relatively few and unique for one another. We can not be replaced. We are each other's permanent memories, brought back alive for a few hours every 5 or 10 years. Those hours, orchestrated by our Committee, are nearly as precious as the memories themselves.

Great to see you all.  Best, Rob.
