Classmates Looking for Classmates
From Joyce Anderson Merzbacher: I'm looking for my friend Eileen Thornton Walsh, Class of 1968. Any information and contact information would be greatly appreciated. She married our classmate, Michael Walsh. I would appreciate it if you could please post this in the next newsletter. (Editors' Note: This was posted in the Hicksville High School Alumni Facebook page).
