Great photos of the reunion, Susan! It was great to see you, on the 6th! Howie says that he is planning another occasion for us to get together (some restaurant in NY?). I can't wait!

Hi Susan! Yes, it was a great night!!!! Post your pix on here when you can so non-facebookers can see them. Definitely, if you'll be heading towards Saratoga this summer, let me know. Did I give you my #s?

Thanks Susan. Glad you and the rest of the alumni enjoyed the special night.

Great to FINALLY see you too. After a day down at Pier 17 with a frozen Margarita, I left Monday from JFK and had a surprisingly easy flight thanks to a good movie selection on board. Not bad - I should try this more often. I'm in NY often enough so let's do another 75'er get together soon.

HI Susan,

I leave Tokyo tomorrow for the reunion - see you Saturday!

Hi Susan..

talk soon

I found 2 pics from a birthday party in my house and I am thinking that you are in the one pictures. I can get it on to facebook but having trouble getting it on here but I will try again tomorrow. Are u on facebook? Sadly I am realizing that my parents did not take many pictures so i don't really have too many. I did ask my sister but she has less than me I think. Would love to see what you have.
I was looking at your pictures today and your daughters are very pretty. You are a good looking family. You have two going to Queens, what are they planning to major in? Brad my middle guy has a few friends who go there.I actually lived across the street from Queens college. Have you heard or seen anyone from 70th Ave?

Hi Susan, I just posted a couple of pictures of my family and myself. The one of me was just taken in Oct (it was Cheryl's sons wedding in Punta Cana) My husband, younger son and I just a couple of weeks ago in Vermont and then my 3 kids at my son's graduation. My older two are away at college.
My parents were Laura and Norman (he was a big man, everyone knew him). I will post a pic of them along with one of Cheryl. Sadly, both my parents past away. My dad is gone 23 years, from a massive heart attack in his sleep and my mom just passed away 3 years ago from cancer. As I said Cheryl lives in Pa but we really only see each other about twice a year but we talk on the phone. I just friended Ivy on facebook so we are catching up. It has been years. We moved to the other side of Flushing by the expressway when I was about 13 as I went to John Bowne after Campbell JHS. It has been over 35 years since I saw them. Wow do I feel old saying that. I just reconnected with Annette Irizarry on here. My Mom and Doris kept in touch all these years until her passing. I have to go thru my moms old pictures if I can find and see what she has there from 70th ave.
I just found out about the reunion but no one from my year is going. I have to see what is going on as my daughter is graduating college then going to Italy to work for a month and my younger son is also graduating. I have to sit and figure this all out. Are you going?

hey susan,
i will post pics, i have to get my camera and get some pics out of it. life is crazy right now. i was layed off and am now in a pre-apprenteship program. hopefully after this course i'll have a job in one of the trades. any wayi'll get the pics on as soon as i get a minute.

What a romantic way to spend Valentine's Day! I love looking at all of your photos. I'm looking forward to the reunion, too. Can't wait to see you there!

Hi Susan,

Yup, time flies. I'm glad the reunion is going ahead as planned, and I sure will be there. I am also planning to spend the summer in the US.

Your advice is the best I've had in a long time - thanks. Must remember that. I think the longest I can manage to stay home and be happy is 3 months - so I should get a move on it.

Winter is mild here, bright, sunny and dry. Might even be the best season in Tokyo. I'll post some pictures!

Of course I remember you! I know I have pictures of some of the parties and sleep-overs I used to have at the house, I will dig them up and when I find them I will post them- how funny, we used to have sleepovers and it was only a two bedroom apartment. I was looking through your posted pictures and I saw a picture of Robin Brown- I just heard about her---so sad. My cousin currently lives up the block in Queens, I thought of everyone when I was out there about a year ago. I am so glad to see that you are well and I can't believe you have kids who go to Queens College :-). Hope to see you at the reunion!

WHATS DOING SUE

Wow. Both of your daughters' b'days are on the same day?! Have they enjoyed that, their whole lives, or did it ever cause a problem? Did they used to compare b'day gifts? Did they share one b'day party, or did they each get their own? My friend Claire and her sister have the same b'day, but they are 12 years apart in age, so the dynamics are a bit different. Speaking of b'days, I was going to write to you, 22 days ago, and just didn't get around to it. Why 22 days ago? Because I had a dream, and you and Robin Brown were in it. When I woke up, I realized it was Robin's b'day. I don't think there was any coincidence there! Kinda spooky, though! How nice that you got to go to Florida for Thanksgiving! I'm so tired of the gray atmosphere around here. I can understand why elderly people move to Florida. The older I get, the more sunshine I need, on a daily basis! OMG! I just saw, below, that you got a message from Harvey Harris!!! Why isn't Jackie on this site??? I hope he gets her onto it.

Hi Susan,

This web site is clearly giving me an inferiority complex as it's always great to be best known for your younger pretty sister! Yes Jackie is my sister and I'm quite proud of her. She is an agent and VP at the William Morris agency in NY and is doing very well there. The two of us are planning to attend the reunion in June assuming it comes off. Will definitely send Jackie your regards.

Wow! Your girls look so grown up!!! Looks like you had a great vacation! We went to Hawaii with the kids. It was a celebration of our 20th anniversary. We had a blast. I want to move to Waikiki!!!!! (No joke!) But, alas, we are home now and have returned to the usual grind. Matthew started middle school and is having a tough adjustment; he came from a small Jewish Day School and is finding it hard to adjust to a large school with a bus ride and hot lunch line and switching classes every 45 min., etc. Sarah, on the other hand, just finished that same public middle school and has entered public high school. I thought she'd have a hard adjustment, but she is absolutely LOVING it! I'm so happy for her. Rachel is in her senior year in high school and is doing all the college application stuff. What a drag! I can't wait for it all to be over. I'm sure that SHE can't wait, either! lol! The autumn has taken a lovely turn, here. We went apple picking, last weekend. The colors of the leaves were gorgeous. The apples were good, too -- esp. the apple pie that they were made into! As of tonight, we are done with a whole slew of Jewish holidays and I can relax again!

Hi Susan,

Everything OK here. Left my job in July and am now taking a break before figuring out what I want to do next. In the meantime, I'm doing all the things I always meant to do but never had time to.

I sure will be at the reunion no matter what! Can't wait.
