Thanks Janet. You too. All the best,
Mark

Thank you for the beautiful holiday card! (I'm so bad about sending cards, since I got hooked to the internet!) Your girls are so gorgeous, and we loved their New Year's Resolutions :-) Hope you and Heidi and the kids have a great holiday season!

~Janet & Steve

Mark-
So glad to reconnect. Would love to see you. I remember the time you and Heidi stayed with me in my first apartment in Boston which was near Fenway Park. I think you were interviewing for internships, maybe?

When I think of you and Edward - I think of us at kids. So strange that were are all now parents.

You may not know this but my grandmother nad mother passed away. My mother has been gone for 9 years. She had diabetes and many of the complications that go along with it - kidney dysfunction, legally blind, etc. She ended up having issues with her heart (valves) and had to have valve replacement surgery. She had a stroke during the surgery and never recovered, Very Sad.

My grandmother died 2 years before my mom. She was unhappy in life and just sort of gave up. They were living in Forest Hills at the time.

So, it's just me and my family. Lifei s strange.

Come to Boston!

Hello Mark-

Sheldon invited me to this web site. What a trip!

How's life? Dave and I are well. Benjamin is almost 15 - oy!

I have been back in the old neighborhood - sometimes I even walk on 72nd Crescent and ring your folk's door bell.

Hope all is well. Drop me a line.

So good to hear from you. I also think of you often usually in a medical sense or as a suffering Met fan (which gives me some perverse pleasure). I am out of the country next week but want to call when I get back so we can catch up. Looking forward to speaking to you soon.

Great choice for a screen saver. My kids loved it too.

Take care,
Mark

Hi Mark - 30 years goes by really fast! The picture of our 4th grade class is now the screensaver on my computer at home. My kids are getting a big kick out of it. Sounds like all is going well for you....same for me! Say hi to your brother.

Hey Mark,
sorry it took so long to answer. I was away and now I am in Miami visiting my parents. Your family looks beautiful and I am thrilled you are doing so well. I have wonderful memories of hanging out, playing tag, bike races around the block and coming to your house when Jeff was there. I always wanted my kids to have that but it seemed that everyone was always running in different directions. I am married to a cardiologist that works locally. I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. (boy girl twin 15 and a 10 yr, old girl)thanks for getting in touch vivian

It's so nice to hear from you Janet. If you look on the class photos page, check out 4-4, 1973.

I've sent out E-mails to everyone I still know how to contact in our class, but it would be great if we could somehow contact the rest.

Take care,
Mark

Hi Mark!
I get Heide's holiday cards every year. You all look terrific! Glad to know that CT is agreeing with you! Please tell Heide that I send my regards. I'm terrible about writing cards. I'm spoiled by email! I just joined this site, tonight. Still trying to figure out how to navigate it. It's a great idea, though. (Thanks Patricia Weppler!) Take care! Janet (Perlmutter) Schwartz

I don't think anyone from my class has joined. It was fun to read your essay! I wish some of my students could write as well as you did in 4th or 6th grade, whatever it was!

That's great. I'm really enjoying touching base with all our old friends.
Mark

Hi Mark, good to hear from you. I remember bumping into you in nyc a few yrs back. I still speak to Elliott & Corey. I see Vivian Strauss Gold, she live in the same town & our kids have been in school together & we have some common friends in town.

Hi Mark,
Thanks- my son, ethan, looked exactly like howie, as a young child. Rediscovering my passion for music has been so wonderful. My life is a bit crazy between working full time, going to school, and taking care of the house and my kids, though they are pretty self sufficient now.

hi Mark.
thanks for the good luck wishes. things are busy but it's all good. i look forward to getting together with you soon. i hope all is good by you too.
regards,
Corey

Hi Mark,
