I am totally moved...

...by the response, well wishes, and love expressed from classmates regarding my daughter's accident. Words cannot explain how I felt when so many of you emailed me or made a posting to Amy via Caringbridge.com. I am grateful for all the reconnections since our 50th reunion.

Amy is at Helen Hayes Hospital in West Haverstraw. She is still in the sub-acute care ward as she is not eligible for rehab until she has two functional limbs. She is healing from a variety of broken and shattered bone injuries. This will take several more months. She has been on her back in bed since 11/28. We are hoping that the cast will come off of her left arm in a couple of days. She may get a walking cast on her left leg in a couple of weeks. She is still in pain and receiving pain medication. Her spirit is good and she is determined to get out of the hospital and back to her life. The prognosis is excellent.

Girls of '57 December 2009

 

I just found these photographs on my desktop.

Better late than never.

Girls of '57 October Luncheon Photographs

Lois Lombardi Ciampo sent me these images from The Girls of '57 luncheon on October 27th. There is another set of pictures from December 1st which will follow. Here is Lois' note to me.


On Tuesday, October 27, ten of the Girls of ’57 met for lunch.  We now have 24 people in the area that we have contacted to meet for lunch.  Last time we had 13 girls and we are hoping that next time more people will be able to attend.  We are planning on having a holiday luncheon on Tuesday, December 1 and hope others can attend.  Attached are a few pictures for the website [since you mentioned that you were out of pictures].  This was the first time that Mary Lou Craft was able to join us.  She lives in New York City and just became a grandmother of a little boy two weeks ago.  I think you should know who the others in the picture are but let me know if you have any questions.  Following are the people who attended:

            Audrey Bauhofer
            Gwen Berdy
            Adrienne Camp
            Felicia Canger
            Mary Lou Craft
            Linda Kamerling
            Lois Lombardi
            Carol Szuhai
            Barbara Treistman
            Beverly Wightman

I am out of pictures

Here are the last four photographs related to the 70th Birthday Party.

These are from a pre-dinner cocktail party in Grayce Rosso Seitz' room.

This has to be the most comprehensive collection of photographs and memories

from any class in the history of FLHS.

I had a lot of fun compiling this visual class history.

But, alas, I am out of pictures.

If you have others that you would like to see on this blog,

send them to me via email or snail mail.

They can be anything from our first 18 years.

Posts to the blog do not need to include photographs.

If you have a story you would like to tell, write it, post it or send it to me and I will do it for you.

52 years ago in December - But who's counting?

One of the rarest mementos from our class history.

Grayce had the good sense to save it.

Remember to send all of your money to Grayce Rosso.

She will send tickets when she receives your payment.

What do you want for $3.50?

A roast beef dinner with all the trimmin's?
