35th Reunion              Nice job! Well I had a lot of fun, I assume I was a little obnoxious but it was not intended. So what happened after we left? Or what happens in Saddle Brook stays in Saddle Brook? · John Cerutti '70 What a wonderful evening! It was a dream come true seeing you all after 39 years. Barbara and I enjoyed  talking to you, and some of the things that were remembered, I forgot. Lots of laughs and a fun evening to boot. It will not be forgotten. Thank you so much, we love you guys. Let's stay in touch. · Ernie & Barbara Mendillo - Cambridge Thanks a million! I am sitting at my desk in the office listening to this fab cd and flashing back. I had a chance to look at the directory you put together for us and have already begun planning who I will contact. Just want to say again how awesome everything was. Thanks for making another very special night. Let me know when you want to get together with Ms. Lomangino. L&K · Julie Moscatello '70 We had a great time on Saturday, Hope we can get together in another 5 yrs, Sorry I couldn't make the brunch. Hope it was good. Diane, Joan and you did a great job.

Thanks. · Stephen Retkwa '70 Karen, Joan, Diane - Thanks for all your efforts for this wonderful night. I had a great time reconnecting with so many people.

Thanks again, · Lois VanHouten Pencinger '69 Frank and I had a great time at the reunion as well as everyone else.

It was especially great to see some of our class-mates that came to the reunion for the first time. You Gals did a GREAT Job!!! John and I have downloaded about 140 pics on CD's. You'll have to weed out some of the bad ones. I'll put them in the mail to you tomorrow. Thank you again! · Patti O'Dea Kackos '70 Karen- I just had to tell you how wonderful the whole event was. You guys really outdid yourselves. Everything was terrific and I had the CD playing all day. It was so good to see everyone and as the years pass it just seems to mean more to me than the last time. Thank you for doing this---------and now I want you to take some time to come down and just relax/ rest for a couple of days. No is not an option.  · Frank Fondo '70 Karen- I returned home on Tuesday night very saddened* but after looking at your web page, I felt a lot better. Looking forward to viewing all the pictures.

My thanks to you, Diane, Joan, and Frank for doing a great job. I had a total blast...my first time back at one...and intend not to miss anymore. My wife, Linda, was made to feel welcomed by all, and she had a great time...she had to...to keep her up till 2:00 am is a major undertaking. Everything was perfect. I hope Howie is not needing psychotherapy sessions after housing me for a week. I really love you guys and as the years fly by...it means even more. Love ya, · Gary Basilo '70 ...oh yeah, next time if we are at Howie's afterwards...I will be awake...not blasted out of my brains. You all did a wonderful job on the 35th reunion.  A lot of work goes into an event like this and it showed.  On behalf of Steve and myself, we had a very nice evening and were sorry we could not join you for brunch. · Steve & Andrea Rickett '70 Hi Diane and Karen, It's been longer than I had planned, but I wanted to thank you both for all you did to bring some old friends together at the reunion. I have worked on reunion committees in the past, and I know it is no easy task! It is time-consuming and it can be intense. Well, the location was perfect, the food was excellent (oh, those chocolate peanut butter cookies!!!) and the company was, of course, great fun. The little remembrances you included in the goody bag were great, too. Once again, thank you for dedication to the project. You were fantastic, and you are much appreciated! Blessings, · Donna Nardino Bolster '69 Karen what a blast!!! I thought everyone looked great. Now Manny thats another story it must be the fresh air. I was glad to see with the sea of grey that I'm not the only one aging gracefully. From riding around the hood to seeing Basilo drunk again was too much fun. I look forward to seeing you all again. To my dead beat class if you read this lets get something going I'd be glad to help. · Doug Bowie '69 Once again, thanks for the great reunion - everything was great. I have some pictures - do you want them to be a certain size? If they do need to be resized let me know and I'll save you some time. Take Care, · Larry Goldsholl '70 Thank you very much for all the hard work & time you put into making our "35th" class reunion so much fun. It was so good to see familiar faces & find out what is going on in their lives. As soon as I get my son back off to school I'll be back on the computer. I'll e-mail you when this occurs. Thank you again—you did a great job. Love, · Michele Mayurnik D'Alessandro '70 P.S. The favors were great! Hi, Diane and Karen: Thank you so much for tracking us down and for making me feel so welcome at the reunion. You ladies did a wonderful job and left no stone unturned. It was terrific to see everyone and even better to see that you have stayed close friends. Since this was my last visit with my mother in our SB house, the reunion helped cement the connection and remind me that home is always home, even when addresses change. Again, you did an amazing job and I know everyone was as impressed. Take care, keep in touch if you can, and God Bless. Sincerely, · Rose Ann Presti Eriov '71 Dear Karen, Thank you very much for the package you sent me from the reunion. It was really appreciated (The cd is pretty lame, but what the hell).
