 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).

News from Classmates

Arnie Gould, Class of 1964, is now living in South Dartmouth, MA, enjoying the scenery and sailing. 

In April 2024, Stefanie Cedar Shames (an editor of HixNews)  and Eileen Goldstein Scherzinger (wife of a HixNews webmaster), both from the Class of 1977, met for lunch at Thai Thani, a restaurant in Orlando, Florida, during Eileen's recent trip to Stefanie's adopted home state.
