Thanks to Muffy for providing these images.

Sorry about the gutters going through some faces.

And Now for An Enigmatic Interlude

There hasn't been a gathering of classmates when someone hasn't asked,

"Hey Mike, do you know whatever happened to Ray Reichert?"

To my knowledge , no one has the answer.

Unless....

This One Will Knock Your Sox Off -- Radburn Sixth Grade

Mufffy has sent me a bunch of pictures that I will be posting over the next few days.

How many of these classmates can you identify?

Thanks Muffy.

Thanks to Gwen Berdy for this Photo

Is anyone looking at this blog?

I have gone through the Jackie Fand Collection and chosen images I thought would be enjoyed by classmates. At the birthday event some of you have promised to sent me other photographs. I will scan them, post them and mail them back to you. If they require retouching and restoration, I will do what I am able and will send the photographs back to you along with a DVD with the retouched files. And if you know how to post to the blog, go ahead and do it.

There haven't been any posts or comments since the birthday party. You do not need pictures to add your thoughts, experiences, ideas, whatever you think would interest classmates. I hope for this to be a group experience and a place where we may stay in touch with each other.

There are older posts on the blog including some images from the 50th reunion. My shots of the birthday party are not so good. Perhaps some of you took photographs and would like to share them.

8 Dancers

This image was cracked and stained.

I did the best I could to restore it in Photoshop.

But I could not fix Judy's nose.

Ralph Pine, Joel Gold, who are the others?

From The Jackie Fand Collection

Ten Classmates

This group shot was a little scratched and blurry.

I retouched it as best I could.

However I think it is worth appearing on this blog.

As far as I can tell

front row: Anne, Jackie, Joan, Leanne.

back row: Stewart, Ralph, Jolene, Bob, Gerry Nichtern, Gwen.

Senior Prom?

I went steady with Cynthia Weiner from Eastside High School

during our senior year.

Notice the wristlette and crinolines.

Bergen Avenue School

Thanks to Linda Shortman who took this photograph.

I am amazed at how photographs are able to jar my memory.

The closest corner was Mrs. Nichols first grade classroom.

I can see the desks with ink wells in my mind's eye.

We attended the Bergen Avenue School from K-3.

Mike Summers and Jeannie Benson

I have very few photographs from my childhood.

My parents did not take many photographs.

I reckon this is between 1943 and 1945.

I have no idea who the child in the car may be. 

Jeannie lived a few houses away on Fifth Street.

At that time it was a dead end street.

I believe we are looking at the home of our next door neighbors named Gillan.

Cub Scouts - Lincoln School

That is the great Charles Lyons outside of Lincoln School

with his arms around Joachim Deetlof Jonker and Jerry Greenwood.

I cannot name the other boys. Any help?

I am not in the picture.

Just in from the Nancy Meekins Coker Collection

Bob Shechtman was my first friend. I lived on Fifth. He lived on Sixth.

We were two years old when we met.

Bobby. You are missed.
