For information on the Class of '63 50th Reunion, please visit 63.hixreunion.com

Here's a Class of '63 Reunion update: We're very excited to let everyone know that we'll be adding 1 or 2 more events to the Class of 1963 50-Year Reunion schedule in the next few weeks and the reunion is turning into a weekend that will be remembered! All 1963 classmates and their guests are encouraged to send in their ticket order as soon as possible so the committee can get a better handle on the total number of gifts, premiums and prizes to order. Also by replying early, we can give our tour "hosts" some idea of the number of participants and we can get additional and better "perks" from the Plainview Holiday Inn.If you received a printed invitation in the mail, an order form and reply envelope was included. Don't wait. Send it back today! In addition to payment by check, payment can be made by credit card or through PayPal. If you received an email, there is a link to a downloadable order form that can be printed. There is also a link on the official reunion web site: http://63.hixreunion.com We would also like to clear up some confusion regarding the dates of our reunion. The "one and only" Class of 1963 50-Year Reunion is happening the weekend of October 11-13, 2013, with the main event scheduled on Saturday evening, October 12th. There are a few people on the social media sites talking about multi-class reunions, rock-n-roll reunions, etc. with dates ranging from June through September. Don't be confused. Our reunion is definitely a "go" and is "on."We look forward to seeing everyone in October!

Hi,

Linda stasi class of 65 here. I am a columnist and critic at the New York Post and an on-camera co-host with radio host Mark Simone of "What A Week" the NY1 Time Warner news station.

Anyway, I have a new novel out, "The Sixth Station" and will be hosting a wine tasting and book signing on June 11th at the Revue Book Shop at 7:30 pm, 313 New York Ave, Huntington, NY 11743-- (631) 271-1442. I would love for my old classmates (and any Hicksville alum) to know about it and show up. Lots of good French wine!

Please feel free to contact me at this email or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. If you send an email out, please use the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. address if anyone wants to contact me.

Best,
Linda Stasi

Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial - PROJECT UPDATE

Three new names were again added to the current List of Names in May, for a new total of 1,815.  We're pleased that even at this late date in the Project's time line, new names continue to be added by HixNews readers! 

Gains continue to be made in completing information still missing for many of the people on our List, plus focus is being given to a second List of UNCONFIRMED Names that may qualify if we can confirm active duty service during the Vietnam War Era (February, 1961-April, 1975).  This new list was initiated a few months back, so you can review it without having to scroll through the entire confirmed list of over 1,800 names.  There are now 165 names on this second list and so far only 8 of them have received final disposition.  We expect to make faster progress on this list once a college student is hired for the summer to tackle the National Archives in Washington, D.C. as a reference in attempting to qualify these names.

Please keep up your efforts to review both the Confirmed List of Names and the newer UNCONFIRMED List.  Both are available via two website links located at the bottom of the full Project Update in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter.  As a HixNews reader, you can continue to be of significant help with the data we are missing, by reviewing both of these lists.  All missing data continues to be noted in red on the List of Names to make it easier for readers to pick up.

Also in the full Project Update, please read about the good progress being made on confirming the Memorial site location at the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School.

On behalf of The Project Team,
Joe Carfora, HHS '62
