Dear readers,

We still have hundreds of names without a state of residence. No we don't mean nursing homes, just HX, L.I. (other towns besides Hicksville), NYC, NY (places other than L.I.), FL, Germany - you get the idea. We don't need your snail mail address because we can't afford the postage. ;)This is used when compiling annual statistics.Thanks for your cooperation.

What is the significance of this license plate? Notice the year the plate was issued? So??!!

Well, this is to announce the Reunion of the Class of 1959.

Plans are well underway for a 50 Year Reunion to be held later this year. The time and place will be determined.

The reunion committee, consisting of Mickey and Joyce Anglim, Gene Yetter, Mike Sherin, Ghyll Owen Simoneschi, Joan Gabriel, Tony and Eileen Toscano and Carl Probst, is presently updating the class address list. Many former students have already been contacted.

We ask the help of all alumni in notifying any members of the class of '59. Let them know a reunion is ongoing.

A note from the webmaster about changing email addresses.

Each month we get notices from some readers who are changing their email addresses due to having changed their Internet Service Provider (ISP). All that hassle is completely unnecessary. There is no requirement that you use the email service provided by your ISP. There are a number of places where you can get very good email service for free that is not tied to your ISP. If you get an account there, you'll never have to notify everyone about a change again. It's bad enough that you have to notify everyone in your address book, but there are always a few places where you've registered for something that get forgotten. The worst case is a site where you've registered with a login and password and then later need to recover the password and can't because the email address they send the new password to no longer exists.My personal favorite ISP-independent free email provider is Gmail.com. My wife and I have been using it almost since it started. It's got excellent spam filtering and a plethora of very useful features including the ability to have it read your other email accounts so as to aggregate all your email in one place. Further, if you are using an email program like OutLook or Thunderbird, you can set it to read your gmail with that, if that's what you're used to doing.. Other free email providers include, but are not limited to, Yahoo and Hotmail which I don't like as well since they are lacking some of the features of Gmail, but a lot of people use them and are satisfied with them, too.If you have questions about this, please let me know and I'll try to answer them, perhaps as a Q&A formatted article so the answers will help others.
