55th Reunion

The 55th class reunion until Saturday, September 22nd.

The 55th class reunion was held on Friday and Saturday, October 9 and 10, 2009.

On Friday, October 9, 2009 at 7:30 pm there was an informal gathering at our classmate John Matrazzo's Grog Shoppe - 277 State Street (State Arcade on Erie Boulevard).

On Saturday, October 10, 2009 from 2:00 to 6:00 pm there was a buffet luncheon at Mallozzi's Clubhouse at the Western Turnpike Golf Course, 2350 Western Avenue, Route 20, Guilderland, NY. Ray Norris performed the master of ceremonies duties.

Vincey's Printing (Tony Lessner owner and son of Bob Lessner, our classmate) was kind enough to print our directory for us free of charge, and did an excellent job.

Who Does the Heavy Lifting?

Our "A" Team did it again. After so many years of planning our class reunions, the committee had wanted to retire. However, since no one else stepped up to the plate, they made our 55th class reunion a reality.

The Coordinator was Terry Morinelli (Madden), Chairwoman and Treasurerwas Shirly Pacelli (Tomasek), Communication Maureen Hanrahan (Norris), Publicity Rose MArie Ottati (DeLuke) and Beverly Rainone (Czub), while door duties were performed by Annette Zaino (Hughes) and the Friday night get together was handled by Carol Isgro (DiCerbo). The MC for the reunion was Raymond Norris. 

The Class Poet Laureate

We were at the table, just after we were all seated. I noticed that the guy next to me Lou DiCoco was writing. It looked like he was taking notes in a class. Taking notes at a reunion is a little bizarre, so I said "What are you doing?" I could hardly believe his response. He said, "I'm writing a poem." Sure enough he was; right on the spot. This isn't what I would expect from a former Marine! Here is our class reunion poem.

55 Years - Can It Be?

Memories So Vivid

* Friendships Endure

We rejoice in Being Here.

* Families Extended

So Many Thoughts Recalled

Our hearts Sing

* Can You Remember What Was?

* Is the Past The Present?

We Change But We Are Never Different,

55 Years -- It's Not ENough!

Today My Heart Sings

Thank You For This Everlasting Effort

-- Lou
