Class of '58 50th Reunion
Saturday September 20, 2008
(with optional events planned for
Friday, September 19 and Sunday, September 21)
Holiday Inn, Plainview, NY
215 Sunnyside Boulevard at Long Island Expressway Exit 46
Reservation Deadline Approaching for Class of '58's 50th Reunion
If you haven't sent in your registration for the Class of '58's 50th reunion, do it today! The deadline is Friday, July 18. The September 20 event will be at the Holiday Inn, Plainview, where our class marked its 25th! Tickets are $68 per person and includes a cocktail reception and dinner. Dress is casual. The festivities start at 7 p.m.
Completely rebuilt and refurbished, the Holiday Inn, Plainview, offered the best price and best-priced accommodations that made it the committee's top choice for our 50th reunion site. There will be plenty of time to catch up with old friends as you mix and mingle over drinks and appetizers and then partake of a sumptuous buffet dinner and dessert. (Cash bar). In the background will be soft music from the 50s provided by a local DJ.
A reservation form was included with the invitation and must be received by reunion committee treasurer Janet Wilson Moeller by July 18. A letter of confirmation will be sent to you in August along with details of optional events on Friday and Sunday. If you have not received your invitation or know of someone whose invitation got lost in the mail, drop an e-mail to
If you're coming from out-of-town and need a place to stay, you'll find the Holiday Inn, Plainview's special reunion rate of $129 per night plus tax rate one of the lowest you'll find in the area. (that's quite a savings over the normal $173 per night senior citizen's rate--the normally lowest deal you can get).
Even better, it gives everyone an informal place to get together on Friday night for cocktails and music in the Holiday Inn Lounge and to gather for Sunday brunch. Dinner on Friday evening will be on your own. The hotel's Brunch on Sunday will also be at your option. We're working with the Hicksville School District which is planning a tour of the high school on Friday, followed by a ceremony at which we will be presenting a class gift. We have raised close to $1,000 already.
Hotel reservations must be made separately. The reunion rate applies from Thursday, September 18 through Sunday, September 21. To get that rate, you must make your hotel reservation by August 7. Information about the reservation process and the special code number you'll need to get the discounted rate are included in the invitation.
I am trying to get together the Greasers of 1960 who can still boogie with the best - Myrna Hessel, remember me - One of Dr. Moser's groupies- I live in Hallandale Beach, Florida where I have resided for the past 32 years- a native to the newcomers! I know many of you have relatives down here as well as condos for vacation so let's get together and see if we can still appreciate "In the Still of the Night" and the scream of the Harley-Davidsons in the front of the school. We can do it anywhere it doesn't matter to me but the weather is great and the beaches beautiful and more restaurants than you can throw a stick at on the same street. My e-mail address is
See you soon,

Attention Hicksville High School Class of 1968!
Barbara Hoosack Sarluco and Dianne Gunnigle Burkhardt regret to announce that the plans to have a 40th Reunion this year are officially cancelled. We investigated many possibilities, and the price tag kept mounting higher and higher. We are facing an uncertain winter ahead of us with the rising gas, oil and airline prices, so we felt postponing our event is the sensible thing to do. We hope to get a larger committee together for future reunion plans so the burden of all this work and expense isn't on just two people. Please keep in touch with us if you are interested in helping out.
Good bye for now, and Congratulations Graduates of the Class of 1968. Happy 40th to all !!!
Memories of "Camelot", the Senior Prom, the Senior Play, "You Can't Take It With You" and the Washington D.C. trip, The Comet yearbook, Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Feigin and our senior class leaders: Chet Schnepf and Andy La Grega and all the stories we could tell about those days at Hicksville High.
Remember to keep in touch with our fellow classmates through hixnews.com.
Have a nice summer.
Barbara and Dianne
Dianne Gunnigle Burkhardt and Barbara Hoosack Sarluco recently announced that the tentative reunion for the class of 1968 is not tentative anymore...it has been postponed for the time being.
Their desire is to have as many alumni from their class of '68, living in the metropolitan area, show up at one of Anton Mure's local Long Island gigs. Anton and his Mid Life Crisis Band play locally during the summer and into the fall. Their thought is that even a mini reunion with old friends is better than no reunion at all!!
It will be a totally informal get together. Most of Anton's gigs are on a Saturday night and usually last at least three hours. His schedule follows...
- Saturday, July 26, Callahans (East Meadow)
- Saturday, August 2, Charles Street Cafe (Hicksville)
- Saturday, August 9, Port Jazz (Port Jeff)
- Saturday, September 6, Port Jazz
- Friday, September 12, Callahans
- Saturday, October 4, Callahans
- Saturday, November 8, Callahans
If you see a date that appeals to you, please send a note to either Diane or Barbara or to the
Warm Regards
Bob Casale
