So where's the next trip? This time, maybe, you and Frank can pick me up in Phila.
Keep the faith.

Ed Note: On our return from Vegas we had a three hour layover in Philadelphia before getting a flight to Newburgh. Frank Curtin and I live near one another and made the trip together. Toni Salometo met us in Philadelphia and we had dinner in the Marriott there. It was a perfect way to end the trip! Perhaps we'll find another excuse to get together again.

Gino and I just got back from skiing at Manmouth Mountain, California. What a beautiful place. We had a reat time and I enjoyed the skiing and the comradery. Looking forward to Murphy coming over this week to play golf for a few days. Glad all is well with Atticus. Get those East Coast slugs working on some mini-reunions. Speak to you soon.

I'm attaching a picture of our classmate Brad Crook (and me), taken when he visited me here in Jerusalem last spring. Brad and I spent a few hours catching up on 45 years (on Fast Forward) over a leisurely lunch. Brad spent most of his working life in advertising (my field too), before getting "the call" and becoming a minister. His church and congregation were in Suffolk county.
Unfortunately, Brad suffered a heart attack shortly after returning to the U.S. from Israel, but has since made a full recovery, lost weight and is taking much better care of himself. He and his wife Nancy just moved to Ft. Myers, FL, where he will continue with his Christian publishing work. Brad's e-mail is: Revbrad1@comcast.net
Regards to all,
Doug Greener

Brad Scott models his old jacket which he's kept all these years.
If anyone else still has theirs, send a picture and we'll post it.

Hi Marcy !!
Hope your holiday is going well and that you have a great "New Years"..
Last night 12/28/2006 Russ invited me over to his home for a small get together.
Out of the past there sat "Artie Clark" ! I always wondered what happened to Artie. We go back to the 8th grade (Artie can be found in the way we were section of the "all boys class" pix in the last row ) and I haven't seen him in 45 years. Needless to say we all had a great time. I worked with Artie's Dad at Grumman until he died in 1972.
Attached please find the four pix from the get together.. (see above)
Enjoy and I will talk to ya soon..

In February Brad Scott and Russ Mulroy and their wives made a trip to California to Jerry & Irene Murphy's home.
The following four pictures would indicate that everyone had a very good time!

Group shot of us in Jerry's Caddy Eldorado. Warren Hechinger & Gino Lynch came the last day. Gino's son Cameron took this shot.

Warren Hechinger on Saturday Night.

At Universal Studios: Jerry, Russ, Brad & a guy Brad picked up.

Karaoke Nite: me, Jerry & Brad doing our feeble attempt at karaoke which was setup inside Jerry's house. We proceeded to mangle 25 or so classic oldies. We had to let Jerry sing ... it was his house.
