We hope you enjoy this month's newsletter. The founding Webmaster of Hixnews, Roger Whitaker, recently passed away so we are reprinting an article written by Ron Wencer about him and his wife. We try to follow postings on Facebook with notices to put in our Reunion, In Memoriam and Etcetera sections, but we don't always see them, so please send them along also.

Roe Marchese and Tony Genovese

Category: Class of 1961 - Jan8
Hits: 1372

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.
