I have the sad news of reporting that Stephanie Diamond Papas passed away Monday, March 18th 2013 with her family at her side. Stephanie put up a brave battle up to the end. We will all miss her, her smiles, her energy and her love.

Sorry I missed what looked like a great time.  I remember a lot of people I saw photo's of.  You all look fabulous!  Best to the committee for a job well done.

I was in Georgia, where I bought a house, in Douglasville.  Me and my husband Jack are very excited. We've made some new friends and have family there as well.

Hope to see you all at the next reunion, God Willing...

This is me, my oldest son Walter, my youngest daughter Nicole and her daughter Sabrina.

I am putting this under Jan Willem's name and have posted a video and its transcript on the Tiger Tales page due to the amount of text.  Have a look at a great 4 minute video.  Neal Z.

Jan Willem said thanks on Oct. 24.

The link that Jim Giannini posted was a perfect synopsis of what was going on throughout the decade of the '60's.  It brought back memories and helped me recalculate events in time.

Thanks.  Challen Armstrong

Jim Giannini sent this in months ago and Neal Z. forgot to post it.  Worth a look, a decade in about 8 minutes.

We came from near and far, seemingly with enjoyable memories, leaving not so pleasant thoughts and experiences behind.  We came together and brought our own sunshine.  Many smiling faces I knew or recalled while many others shared common experiences of being teenagers in White Plains circa late fifties to early sixties.  

I am unashamedly proud to return to the soil on which I and many kin folk before me were planted, cultivated and bloomed.

Thanks to the entire Reunion Committee for making sacrifices to provide a golden weekend filled with plenty enjoyable memories and reflections. Saturday night was especially electrifying.  The dance floor filled quickly and continuously with moves that were ‘out of this world’, literally. Lol.

I thank my husband for ‘hanging in there’ with me and genuinely enjoying another chapter from my life’s story. We have reunion pictures that will be sent to add to the memoires as soon as he recovers from a ‘bug’.

Thanks Class of 1962, especially those hailing from Rochambeau (“Ever onward, ever upward, on our way we go, as the thoughts of Rochambeau will grow….”) and Post Road.  I am grateful for schools, family and community that taught me to choose what to focus on, expected the best and provided opportunities to ‘keep on keeping on’.

Dear Neal and committee members,

I would like to thank all of you for putting together an amazing weekend.

From the Friday night cocktail party, (with name tags, thank you!!) to the very moving memorial service and arranging the home football game to the Saturday night dinner dance, the weekend was SO very, very special.

I will treasure reconnecting with all those classmates and I look forward to the next Reunion .....perhaps 5 years ??

My very best to everyone always,

Michele  'Mickie' Mycek

Thanks to all the classmates who attended and brought such spirit to the weekend. 
 
Your smiles and enthusiasm where the real reason the weekend was great and the payback for me.   Regrets to the classmates who were unable to join in with us and share in the celebration of ourselves and our lives.  I missed you even if I didn't know you.  Most of all, thank you whether you were at the weekend or not for the many cherished memories I have of high school.  I unabashedly admit I loved high school.  I had such a good time and strongly believe it was because of being able to be there with all of you. 
 
Nicki
 
    What all of you should know, is that Nicki and Barbara Trencher Obrentz were my main "go to gurus" to wordsmith a LOT of what you read in the reunion emails and on the web site.  Nicki's thoughts express my own perfectly.  Many many thanks to them and to all the others on the committee whose efforts I will relay again soon on the web site (in case you didn't hear the awarding of the diplomas on Saturday night).
 
     I can only reemphasize that it is ALL of you who helped make it such a FABULOUS weekend.  Sometimes words get overlooked, but without a great bunch of classmates like you, there just isn't a RE-Union.    Neal

Neal and the Committee......I am sure by now you have come to know how very much each and everyone enjoyed themselves at the BEST reunion yet thanks to the dedication, hard work and great organizational skills it takes to put it all together....many many thanks for the memories!  Mary
