Dear Alumni...
I am on a campaign...not for election to the presidency... I'm on a campaign to find and get as many yearbooks as I can acquire. If you have an extra yearbook....if you have a yearbook that you want to give away....if you have a yearbook you'll sell to me...please let me know as time permits.

We love to be able to scan old pictures and the best vehicle is a Comet yearbook. Even if you are willing to scan some pictures that we can include on our picture page, that would be wonderful. Please let me know. Thanks.

Warm Regards,
"Buffalo" Bob Casale


The dedication of the John Bull Locomotive will be held at the John Kennedy Park in Hicksville on Saturday, May 17th. Everyone is encouraged to attend the ceremony that will begin at 10am. A great deal of time and effort went into the reconstruction of this famous engine. Bring the entire family. John Kennedy Park is located at the intersection of Broadway, West/East John Street and Jerusalem Avenue.

CLASS OF '58 REUNION IDEAS POURING IN, FORMAL INVITATIONS BEING READIED

What's in store for the Class of 1958's 50th reunion? Plenty. But you'll have to wait to find out. Long Island members of the reunion committee plan to meet for dinner later this month to review some of the many ideas and suggestions fellow classmates made when they returned a reunion questionnaire last month. Based on the response, the committee anticipates as many as 135 people will attend the event on Long Island on Friday and Saturday, September 19 & 20--and perhaps more--once the official invitations go out later this month or early June.

Members of the class have suggested numerous ideas for the main event on Saturday, from a sit-down dinner to a clam bake, barbecue or informal lunch or dinner reception at a Long Island winery. Members of the class were also polled on ticket costs, entertainment, even hotel arrangements for those coming from out-of-town. Among the other ideas: gathering for cocktails on Friday evening, plenty of 50s music, and an after-hours tour of Hicksville High School, capped by the presentation of a gift to the school from the Class of '58. The Committee also plans to issue a directory of the class, along with biographical material on each person, in CD format. Hard copies will also be available for those who do not use a computer.

The 36-member reunion committee was able to locate 227 of the 270 members of the Class of '58 and still hopes to find most if not all of others by the time final arrangements are made. If you did not receive a questionnaire, misplaced it, or think you may know of someone from the class who may not know about the reunion, go to the Class of '58 reunion site, hix58reunion.com. You'll be able to fill out the questionnaire on line and send it electronically.

Serving on the reunion committee are: Dr. Alex Althausen (SC), Matthew Callaghan (NY), Jim Cunningham (AR), John Cunningham (AR), Armand DeRose (NY), Kathleen Donovan Agiesta (NY), Steve Dunefsky (FL), Linda Frimmer Whitlock (FL), Henry Goodman (FL), Gail McClusky Abreau (CA), Patricia McGrath Melis (NY), Rita Mallett Papzian (CT), Patricia Meehan Welles (CT), Nancy Neglia Martirano (NY), Al Notaro (NY), Vicky Penner Whitaker (IL), Pat Rankel Losciale (NY), Carol Rocek Sigloch (NY), Marcia Rubinstein Pollack (NJ), Richard Sneckenberg (CA), Frank Parker (Canada), Carol Stillwaggon (NY), Jeff Vogel (NY), Anita Uhlich Basile (NH), Joy Watson Haller (FL), Pamela Weickmann Swanson (AZ), Janet Wilson Moeller (NY), James Wise (TX), Marilyn Zeiher Reinhardt (NY), Ed Zivica (OR), Phil Cotsonas (NY), Roger Downey (NM), Geraldine Visalli Ferri (CA), Al Magill(NY), Diane Schultz Bessel (NY) and Charles Glasser (NY)
