    newHickLogoWe are reprinting Ron Wencer's article about Mary Keller, Part 2, which includes new information about a photograph on page 6, along with a fascinating footnote.  We are pleased to include another episode of Where Are They Now?, featuring Hal Blackman from the Class of 1977. We think you will find his story fascinating and helpful! Last month, we asked those who served to email us. Our webmaster created a new section under Honoring our Vets, where you will see Our Veterans' Stories. Please continue to send us your information so we can add you to this section. Or, if you are already a website member, you can create your story as a Personal Blog. Email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Roe Marchese and Tony Genovese

Category: Class of 1961 - Jan8
Hits: 808

Tony and I were classmates in high school 50 years ago. We began dating and after graduation got married in 1963. We have 3 daughters and two grandchildren.

Originally, Tony dropped out of high school and joined the air force. That was back in 1956. He was ultimately discharged in 1960 and returned to Hicksville.

Through the efforts of Mr. Galloway, Tony returned to school and was part of the graduation class of 1961.

We currently live in Florida. Roe is into real estate and Tony is a watchmaker. We enjoy golf and travel.

I don't think either of us would change a thing in our lives if given that opportunity.
