Class Gatherings

Since our 30th Class Reunion is a month past, several of us have had a few get-togethers at the Bakehouse. (I’m not the one having Reunion withdrawals, it’s Chuck Brennan that’s having them!) He tells us (Maryellen and I) at breakfast every Friday morning at the White House Diner which days he’s off from work the next week. We then pick a day, make a phone call or three and have plenty of laughs! Since, this is turning into a weekly thing, everyone’s invited.

Here’s my idea, if you’re interested in attending one or more, email me at fishfishr@juno.com and let me know. I’m going to start an email list so we don’t have to keep calling. I’ll just add you to the list and you’ll be notified weekly, then show up if you wish. If you’re going to be in town and want to join us, let me know and we can try to get as many classmates together as possible. The more, the merrier!

So far, we’ve had Mark Hession, Lisa Schwartz, Maryellen Finley Cusma, Joe Niznik, Joann Dula Post, Paul Reinert, Kathy Schultz, Beverly Yakus Cottle, Chuck Brennan, myself and our adopted classmate, Mark Kopicki in attendance. If I forgot anyone I’m sorry, no attendance is taken. We’ve had fun and stay until they have to clean where we are sitting (usually around 8:30 P.M.). Topics vary, for instance, we learned Mark orders “special bread” from New York for the diner! It’s good toasted!

No, joking now, if you think you might like to attend and join us anytime, email me and I’ll add you to the email list. We start arriving around 6:30 and stay until 8:30ish. The day of the week varies.

The “Three Stooges”, (as Chuck calls us) have breakfast at the White House Diner every Friday morning around 7 or 7:15. If you’re up and hungry feel free to join us! (Ask Mark for his “special bread”!) You can also see the picture of our Alma Mater that was presented to Mark at the reunion. (We are told Mark takes it down and cleans it every afternoon before he turns out the lights when he locks up.)

I think we had such a great time at the reunion we just keep meeting. We’ve shared a lot of laughs since the reunion.
