Well, yet another meeting was held with the reunion committee and we’re really close to the goal we anticipated on for the reunion, only a few shy and you still have time to send in your invitation and picture for the memory book, today is the last day to send in all that information. I received a phone call 2 days ago from Mr. Lynch, looks like he and his wife will be attending our reunion. We the committee thought it only fitting to invite Mr. Lynch as our Yearbook, (has anyone looked at that lately), was dedicated to Mr. Lynch, it should also be noted that Mr. Lynch still remains the favorite teacher in the Favorite Teacher category for the memory book. I’ve been noticing too the references to music as well as others and need to mention that our Wilkes Barre Arena will be featuring Nellie (not too sure of the spelling) on August 30th, the same as our VP night, I don’t know who this is but I’m sure your kids might know, he’s (think it’s a he) is suppose to be a leading rap singer or heavy metal, anyway, he’s supposedly a very big act, but I guess Wyoming Valley is still behind the times, as opening day, he only sold 20 tickets in our area. Our 1st. Union Arena, if you haven’t seen it, is awesome, I personally didn’t attend any of the Arena Football games, but I did attend some of the Penguin Ice Hockey Games, they’re definitely a fun time. I also had the opportunity to go to the Gateway & Narrows Shopping Center recently, let’s put it this way, the Gateway is 85% closed, it looks like a ghost town, only a few stores left, the rest are all closed up, the narrows, definitely different and a must see, there’s a new Price Chopper built, and part of the Narrows was torn down, it will definitely be different once you see it, as there’s now a Blockbuster, Staples and where Vispi’s was is the making of a new Chinese Restaurant, I can remember when we hardly had any chinese restaurants, now there’s several, where the Stop N’ Go was is now empty, there’s also a book swap place as well as a nail salon and, come to think of it, the only place left recognizable is McDonald’s. There’s one thing though that has not changed, even when we were in High School, it’s the cruisers, they now have a mapped out way of cruising as the police enforce that they not go up or down Market Street as well as go around Public Square 3 times within a one hour period, well, some memories never change.
