Memories from 1985-2006

2006

Marcy,Sorry we don't have the picture of Frank and you when you had the layover in Phila. I realized that the quality of my scanner wasn't so good. Well, to tell the truth you both looked great to me. A little tired, but then, that's how you tell how great a vacation was. Enjoyed your Vegas tales, only wished I could have been there with you. But, you did bring me a little bit of it back. Thanks.
So where's the next trip? This time, maybe, you and Frank can pick me up in Phila.
Keep the faith.
Toni

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.

Hi Marcy,
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,

I had a visit today from Jeff Katz LMHS of 62. Jeff was in town for his fortieth reunion at SUNY New Paltz. I saw the 62 Echoes for the first time and he saw his brother's (class of 59) yearbook for the first time. We had much to talk about with two schools in common and he gave me two old pictures to scan into my computer that I will put in the way we were section. As always the time just flies when you talk about old times.

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..
