Dear Editors, Below is a photo taken at Hicksville High School
Shop Class - 1944.
Back Row: (1.) Eddie Coleman
(2) Tony Miraval Middle Row: 1. ___2, Paul Divan 3.
Irwin Botto 4. ____5.___ 6. _ 7. Bobbie Watson 8. ___. Front Row: Teacher Ralph Thompson and
E. H. LeBarron, Supt. of Schools. I hope there is someone reading this article that
can fill in the blanks. I started at East Street School and graduated from
Hicksville High School 1945. There were about 80 students that
graduated in 1945. My wife and I are retired in a small-gated golf
community in Orlando, Florida. My wife, Margaret Reimels Divan, was
born in East Meadow and graduated in 1945 from Hempstead High School.
She had relatives (Reimels and Erb) attending Hicksville High School in
the 1940's. I have been in touch with Jim Valentine and his
wife Bernice Lehman Valentine and Emery Postenrieder. Also Edna
Giese Rusch, Jean Goettelman LaPointe, Karen Kreib Kaleita & Richard
Kaleita live in our community. My brother, Charles Robert Divan (deceased), his
wife Jean Shepard Divan, and my sister, Norma Divan Bischoff (deceased)
also graduated from Hicksville High School. We attended the Florida Hicksville High School
Reunion on February 15, 1998 at Ft. Pierce, Florida, arranged by John Uss. Keep up the good work. We enjoy reading the
HixNews on our Computer. Hi to the Class of 1945. Paul Divan, Class of 1945 Dear HixNews... I enjoyed reading Bill's bio and it brought back
a fond memory to me. I used to work in the office delivering
the absentee lists to the classrooms. Of course the inevitable
had to happen and it did. One day Bill was absent and his name
was spelled with a "k" instead of the "h" it has. It
caused quite a stir among those of us who had a chance to read the list
for that day. Maddy De Louisa '60 NEW READERI am a

anyone finds her, can you please let me know? Thanks Sheila Cohen Klein '74 NEW READERThis is Stu Orton, graduated in the class of 1954. I am living in sunny California. I wrote several times over the years about reunions, never got a
reply.... Great newsletter! Editor Note...there was a multi year reunion awhile back. Hey
gang, I
sent an invitation to Billy Joel to join the newsletter! I
told him what it is about, and directed him to the newsletter. Don't know
if he will join, but it would add a little flavor to have him as a
subscriber! Bob Gillette Bob, Editor
note...please check out the photos on the photo gallery page...
Henry: Editor Note...you can do it
either way. We will take care of the rest. Hello: Hi Linda, I'll be glad to help; you've
come to the right place. The problem is caused when your own computer won't allow your own system's email program to be launched automatically via a hot-link on a website. All you have to do in such
cases is to launch your email program yourself, and then type the email
address for the editors in the "To:" field. That should do it.
If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to figure out why not. Regards, Henry "Hi Bob, I just got signed into Face book yesterday so I am
trying to learn this new program. Thanks
for giving my message to Lew Fenigstein last month; Lew and I have been
emailing regularly since that time. Today
I bumped into Dennis Naso and we talked for about an hour; we live near
each other in Port Jefferson; Dennis is having trouble with Face book so
he wants people from HHS to know that he is NOT ignoring them on Face book
- and -that he is NOT a SNOB; he just cannot use Face book. Hope you are well. Best
regards Olivia Lepis Schmidt '61 Bob CasaleThis is a recent photo taken of me, winning a blue
ribbon for my" dogwood tree "specimen, at the Riverhead Garden
Club Show in June! Regards Judy Marcus Shivers '64 Editor Note...check it out at http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2436261240053453404HxpRdE There is another photo taken
in the 1990's. It's a picture of Judy and Richard with the World
Trade Center in the background. http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/2038949060053453404jdHOBI Dear Editors: This is just to let you know, that although I think your new policy of putting the yrbook photos of all writers to HixNews on the newsletter, you got it wrong when you put my picture (correct) next to that of Barbara SUE Cohen from the yearbook; my close friend of then and now was Barbara ANN Cohen from the same year; it actually confused Denny Tillman who was trying to get in touch with the latter. If you could possibly print this plus the correct pictures I'd be gratified. Plus, please continue to publicize the fact that Linda Zuckerman & Kathy Millevolte are looking for people interested in a 50th reunion of class of 60 for next year & send any interested parties to the appropriate email addresses. I'm keen for it, but can't make the arrangements from London! Thanks for doing a great job again, Lois Chaber '60 Editor Note....the correct picture now appears in
the September issue
Hello: Sorry--I didn't realize that Linda Zuckerman herself was looking for a reunion linkup Also, only just got to finish the newsletter entirely. Just to say I enjoyed the reminiscence about Leon Galloway, and interested to know that he was from a Quaker background!! (myself a recent Quaker attender). Finally, I saw that Toni Martin knows sister of Pat Brindley. I would like to get in touch with Pat, if possible, but as I live in London, I can't ask her to call me! But if Toni can get me Pat's #, I can call HER using Skype, which is not very expensive, even to call a landline; or, alternatively, if her sister uses email, perhaps you can get me in touch with her sister & I can send an email to Pat through her sister that she can pass on. Incidentally, I remember Pat's little sister though I can't recall her name..... Thanks very much--please do give my email address to Toni at your soonest convenience. Thanks, Lois Chaber '60 HixNews Thanks so much for the lovely card. It means more than you know to get mail or e-mail
when you live by yourself. It
was a lovely way to start my morning.
I'm even more grateful that it only had one candle (laughing), and
not the full total. Thanks again, Pat (Meehan, Kelly) Welles
'58 Dear HixNews Thank you very much for the lovely birthday card!! I appreciate everything you guys do at the
Hicksville High Newsletter month after month.

'64 Dear HixNewsThanks a lot for the beautiful birthday card! After being cooped up in my home for three weeks,
then going to the doctor Monday because of my foot, your card lifted my
spirits. It made my day! Best regards. Shelly Heyman Baron /61 Hi Bob... Thanks so much for the card. It was the 1st
one we received! How is everything going with you? It seems
like time is going by so fast, a sure sign of getting older I guess. Karen Hubner Jenkens '62 Bob Did you ever get the picture I sent? What did you think? Your friend here at home. Chris Andersen '67 Editor note....check out the next note... Hey

Hi Bob. I want to thank you for the great job you
did with the photo's I sent to you. Also, I misplaced your address. I want to send you an obituary notice on a
Kevin Smith from Hicksville. Do you think you could send me your address again.?This time I'll write it in my book! Judy Marcus Shivers |
I'm glad to be able to do that
and we've already had almost 1,000 views of the photos that were posted
on websites and that would be your album and the one from the class of
'67 birthday bash.
Love yah bob
Bobby Flanagan was a friend of
mine. He owned a house in Hicksville on Newbridge Road across from the
shopping center where Wickers is on the corner of Old Country Road and
Newbridge...I think it was 109 Newbridge Road. I rented the rear
apartment from him and lived there for almost a year.
Plus, he owned TJ Courtney's
restaurant that was located on the same spot that used to house the
Shady Maples Bar on Route 107 (Hicksville Road). The place burned down
years ago and Bob opened a smaller place on the corner of Hazel, South
Street and Hicksville Road. I think that place is now a dog-grooming
studio.
He popped into my store about two years ago but never came back.
Thanks Bob.
It's a very small world. I haven't spoken
with Bob in about 25 years. I am not sure where he is now or if he
ever married. It sounds like he lived just a few blocks from my old house
on Albany St. I'll send you the info on Kevin Smith who just passed away.
I am sure someone knows and remembers him.
THANK
YOU SO MUCH. |

Hi
Bob,
Thanks so much for the great card and birthday wishes. I'll be busy this
week helping to plan a walk-a-thon to benefit homeless children. I
can't think of anything I'd like more for my birthday than to help make
a difference in the life of a homeless child. Please go to my web page,
at: www.brighthorizonsfoundation.org/Fundraising/tinaspage.aspx
Read about what we are doing and then simply click the
"donate" button and you are on your way to partnering with me
to give children and families hope for a healthy future. No amount is
too small.

Buffalo Bob Casale
1969 - day of
the Lunar Landing found me quite a nervous wreck. You see, I was the
first woman to work on the LEM with such notables as Dr. Werner Von Braun.
Sperry-Rand loaned me to the team to take all the notes for the specifications of the LEM. We were sequested for two months - had to beat the Russians to it. We worked til midnight every weekday and 2 am on Sat - Sunday everyone slept.
My case of nerves came as the team consisted of Engineers from Switzerland who spoke Swissfrench, Swissitalian and Swissgerman, as well as Engineers from the US. The foreign members would get so excited they would forget to speak English and I thought if I get these notes wrong, we have a problem. Dr. Von Braun spoke English and had a great sense of humor.
The Swiss Team went home one 4-day weekend each month. When they came back they presented me with a huge box of candy - gummie bears. Had never heard of them in the early '60's and thought they were a box of erasers!
I missed the landing as I had my eyes closed. I could not watch. When it landed my Husband said to me "well it didn't fall apart, so I guess you took the right notes".
Many fond
memories of my experience with that team. When I got back to my
Sperry Engineers they had so many questions about what they called
"The Brain Trust Team". I will never forget my time spent
with them.

Dear HixNews...
Below is a photo of 5 senior girls from the class of 1959. The date, November 8, 1958. We were given the privilege of modeling at the Arnold Contstable store. We are all decked out like grown up ladies and our job was to walk around the store, for what reason, I cannot remember?!
We are: Jeanette Martello, Peggy Cornelius, Barbara Beck, Francine Frankel and Sue Krex. I surely did get placed with some fine company, didn't I?
What this photo reminds me of the most is Ray Rusch, who I admired tremendously. Back then, he was teaching Social Studies. I was taking the Jr. class as a senior because I didn't pass the year before nor did I pass the class in summer school. My teachers were terrible. But it was a different story with Mr. Rusch. He was a part time assistant principal. One of his jobs was to locate kids who were cutting class. That's where I came in. I always smiled when he found me at lunch when I was supposed to be in class. I was always hungry! A problem arose when I consistently did well on his tests. He even asked me how come I got such high grades and seemed to answer the questions exactly how the book was written (in other words, how was I cheating?). I had to tell him the truth. I liked the class so much, I just memorized everything.
He made the choices for the Arnold Constable
assignment. I was flattered,
especially to be chosen with these other beautiful girls.

Hi Jeanette, thanks for the photo!
All of you girls looked great, so I don't know what you are apologizing for, as you certainly belonged in that group! Your note caught me, because I too thought most of my teachers were terrible, except for Frank Mulzoff, who was great, and went on to become head coach at St Johns. Also Mrs Beam, my 6th or 7th grade teacher who was an old woman but taught me great math! I too had a few subjects I failed which kept me out of the class of 60, and so when I turned 18, I joined the Air Force which turned out to be the best choice for me! In your description of the girls, I assume the names correspond to the photos, left to right, is that correct?
For the editors,
BoB Gillette
To The Editor Hixnews:
The class of 1975 is making preparations for their 35

Dear Editors,
I would like to add my brother's name to the Viet Nam era veteran's list. Robert Charles Tillman was 6 years younger than me, so he probably graduated
from HHS around 1966 or '67. He went right into the Navy and served on and off different ships. Bob died five years ago in a Veteran's Hospital in Nashville
of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Cancer. It was really the cure that killed him, he said at the time.
That's Bob with our mother.
We were six Tillman brothers, three of us graduated from HHS. Me in 1960.
My three youngest brothers moved to Florida when my father retired from
the NYPD in 1968.
Denny
Tillman '60
Bob:
Newsday reported that Billy Joel was awarded his HHS diploma at the Class of 1992 graduation. He failed gym and English as a senior. They waived the gym and credited him with English based on his published works.
At our recent 60th birthday party for the Class of '67, I got a laugh when I pointed out that, because the 1967 graduation on the football field was rained out, in fact, Bill Joel was the only member of that class to have actually graduated.

Hi
Bob,
Enjoyed reading the August Newletter. I don't often get the time as I am busier now than when I was working. It was fun seeing the picture of you and I, signing in for the "Mega Reunion in 2007, (seems like yesterday). It was a very nice event. I am still singing and am doing a show for the Veterans in Northport in September. I've done a few shows for the Vets and I love singing for them. I did a show for them back in May and sang my new song that I wrote, I think I sent it to you but if I didn't here it is YouTube - I've Got A Smile - DivaAnnFisher - Besides singing I am taking care of my daughter who had open knee surgery and her three babies (youngest is 4 months). I work at St. Edward's church part time at night, and all of that has taken up most of my time. I have two children and six grandchildren who are all the love of my life. Life is busy but really good!
I still have my best friend from Lee Avenue School, Anita (Foster) Zino. I am also very good friends with Tommy Farrell's widow Kathy. It is so nice to see the people from Hicksville and follow there stories. I spoke with Linda Piccerelli not too long ago and enjoyed our conversation. Thank you so much for putting all this effort into bringing all our classmates so much enjoyment My hats off to all of the editors.
Hope to see you all some time soon. Let me know if anything is going on locally and thanks again.
Best Wishes

Ann's note to you and am interested in contacting her regarding helping
us with a fund raiser for the Hicksville Vietnam War Era Memorial Project.
Tommy Sullivan (Brooklyn Bridge) has already offered to entertain at this
yet to be planned event and I'd like to line Ann up too, especially
since her note, reprinted below for the Team's benefit, shows she's
been entertaining Vets for some time.
Can you
please send me her email address, so I can contact her? If not,
please pass this on to her, so she can contact me if she'd like.
Thanks!

Hicksville Vietnam War Era Veterans Memorial
The List of Names now totals 448! With 23 new names added in September, following 27 in August, the past two months have been our slowest in terms of name growth in quite awhile.
So once again, for your part as a HixNews reader and HHS Alumnus, please see our update in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter. Qualification requirements appear just before the complete List of Names. Please look over the list and let us know the names of people we are still missing.
In addition, you can also help by letting us know information we are missing and by clarifying uncertain information for a number of names we already have (shown in red with question marks).
Since we estimate there could be between 2 and 3 thousand Veterans with Hicksville ties who served our Armed Forces around the world during the Vietnam War Era, the Project Team still feels it has a long way to go to complete this effort. Your help is needed now as much as ever before!
Thanks!

Hi Bob;
More info on
the Tempos band.
The only really interesting thing about that band is that we had an
audition with the Ted Mack show.
We didn't get
on because we weren't unique enough.
It was
exciting at the time to go into the city and play for those people. My
father and I took the Count Basie arrangment of April In Paris off
the record and wrote it for us. I've
had a pretty interesting music career which is still going.
It's
interesting to me and my students and I don't know how interesting it
would be to anyone else not involved in the business.
It was good hearing from you, let's keep in touch.

Hello Bob,
Just wanted to drop you a note to say that although you and Ted did not make it to Maine, my best friend from High School, Aileen O'Campo Dixon and her husband Steve will be docking in Portland Oct. 3. They arrive on one of the largest cruise ships to come into Portland Harbor. I read that it can accommodate over 3,000 people.
When cruise ships dock at the Maine Pier they dwarf everything in site. It makes my ferry look like a toy. Buses and taxicabs line up to take people to L.L. Bean and to the various light houses in the area.
I plan to be Aileen's taxi. We will spend the day touring lighthouses, eating lobster, visiting my island and enjoying Hicksville memories. I am so looking forward to this day. I have been trying to get her here for a few years, but family obligations prevailed. I have the feeling she will want to come back.
We will send photos to the newsletter. It will truly be a "micro-mini" reunion.
