Attention All HixNews Readers!! Thank you, There seems to be some controversy about the mini tornado that Hicksville experienced years ago. The actual place where it touched down was in question. I just re-read Billy Fuchs' bio sketch and his comment solves the mystery once and for all... "My older brother " Mike ('59 graduate) was the first employee at Carvel on Jerusalem Avenue in Hicksville and happened to be working there when the tornado hit. This was almost directly across from the Allied Shopping Center. I remember visiting the Princess Bakery next to the drug store to pick up one of their strawberry cheesecakes. It was the best I've ever had. Even better than my own homemade. Well, here it
is almost midnight in AZ on 4/30/2010 and I just finished reading the
May newsletter. Another amazing job well done. (Gosh I wish I
still looked like my graduation picture...I was shocked to see it as
I scrolled down the home page.) What a great team you all are.... I
look forward to working on our 50th reunion for the class of '61. Thanks
for giving me more wonderful memories and helping old friends reconnect. Lillian Manzo Ramirez Some Comments regarding the pictures from the mini reunion for the
class of 1961 held back in April on Long island.... plus comments about
the reunion plus some notes from alumni to alumni Thanks - great pictures. Regards Olivia Lepis '61 Great
Bob, Thanks for sharing. One of these times I am
going to make it to a reunion. Looks
like a wonderful event. Sorry I couldn't make it. Please let
me know when the next one is. Susan (Schwartz) Serlin '61 Hi
Bob If anyone from class of 61 wants to be included in mini reunions, please give them my email and tell them to get in touch with me. Doing it again in July. Also, waiting word from Diana Urena for a meeting about the big one in 2011. Men of 61 going out for a pasta dinner May 17th.

HixNews, thank you so much for the lovely anniversary card for Tony and I. Our long and happy marriage, another successful product of our HHS tenure. Also want to let our "fellow" classmates know that many on the reunion committee still get together. Since our 50th in Oct. Joyce Anglim, Betty Ann, Tony and I, Carl Probst and Joan Gabriel and Ghyll Owen Simoneschi, have gotten together for lunch and a gabfest. Warm and wonderful. Again, thank you for a job well done and much appreciated. Eileen Walter Toscano'59 The below hyperlink will take you to a reunion the Rascals had recently.

much for the birthday wish and for all of your hard work every month in
putting together the newsletter. You guys are great and much
appreciated! Keep up the good work. Hi BOB Editor Note...if you can get it to me,
I can do some scanning I
was excited to see Bob Leo's name in last month newsletter. We doubled for
our prom in '65 and were in homeroom together. Please pass my E-mail
on to him so that I can catch up with him. Thanks Mike Linihan '65 -------------------------- Dear Bob Leo, Your friend and former classmate Mike Linihan ('65) would like you to contact him. His email address is in the header of this email. Your email address is in the "blind" copy (Bcc), to protect your privacy. Mike's email message is included below. Best, Henry The
attached photo was in April's newsletter. I was able to identify a
few guys. They were from HHS Class of '67, except for Bob Kirsch who
I don't believe graduated with us. I knew him from Lee Avenue
Elementary. I recognize a few other faces but will have to go
through my yearbook again. Maybe Martin can help if he hasn't
already. Frank

One of the advantages of Dormont's News Letter is that it enables any school member to, DIRECTLY, communicate with any other Class Mate in the directory. Also, I thought that the School Photo of students is helpful, and would help in remembering other students, whom some Class Mates may not have seen in many years. Everyone will recognize the school photo of Class Mates. The address is WWW.DHS1963.Com. I commend the site to your attention. I am sure that they would be able to help you with information on Dormont's site. You are doing a fine job, but even excellence can be improved upon. Best Wishes Ken Foran ------------------------------ Dear Ken, Thank you for your note. It gives me the opportunity to clarify both the HixNews policy concerning communication between our subscribers, as well as my own role on the editorial staff. The guiding rule at HixNews is protection of our subscribers' personal information, principally our members' email addresses. Many, if not most of our readers do not want to make public their email addresses. We must honor such sentiments. Since we need our subscribers' email addresses for subscription to the editors' announcements (such as this one), we are honor-bound not to reveal our subscribers' addresses, unless we have their permission to do so. Nevertheless, our members have means by which they can communicate with other members. First of all, we have two types of subscriptions: subscription to "HixNews" allows one to broadcast messages to everyone who is also subscribed to HixNews; subscription to "HixNews2" does not (it is designed for those people who prefer to restrict their incoming email to the editors' announcements only -- generally, just the monthly announcement that our latest issue of the Newsletter has been published). Second of all, we keep a current online list of all our subscribers (both to HixNews and HixNews2) at: HixNews Members (which is accessible by all). Anyone can peruse this list of names, which is sorted by year of graduation and alphabetically by name. If you find someone on this list with whom you wish to communicate, send an email to the editors, and we will forward your request to that person. If the latter chooses to contact you, he (or she) will have your email address. As to my role on the editorial staff, I am actually the newest addition to the staff (I succeeded Pat Koziuk Driscoll), having volunteered to take on the tasks associated with maintenance of our subscription database. As such, I have a limited role in producing the Newsletter itself. Note from Bob Casale...In your note, Ken, you say, "Also, I thought that the School Photo of students is helpful, and would help in remembering other students, whom some Class Mates may not have seen in many years. Everyone will recognize the school photo of Class Mates." Easier said than done. We don't have access to every yearbook. I wish I had copies of all so I could include pictures. It would be nice if one person from each class who has a yearbook would be the designated scanner. This way, I can ask for a picture and it could be sent to us, then we can include a picture. Any
volunteers to become designated scanner??? Myra (Rosen) Fox, class of 1965, will have a solo
showing of her paintings at Jilly Lynn and Co., 66 Jobs Lane, Southampton,
NY 631-287-1001 " ART IN NATURE, thru my eyes" opening
reception June 19th 6:00 pm to 9:00. Jill Lynn and Co. is owned
and operated by Jill Lynn Brody, daughter of Mike Brody, class of 1964 and

It's called Hicksville High School Alumni Dear HixNews Thanks so much for the lovely birthday card. Linda Parrella Ruggierio '73 Dear HixNews Thanks for the birthday card. William Jakabek '71 Dear Classmates and friends, Our classmate, and a very close friend of mine,
Carl Margolis will not make our 50th reunion. Carl passed away on Thursday 22 April 2010. Ironically for a person with such an active mind, Carl died from a brain hemorrhage, brought about by incorrect dosage of the medication coumadin. Carl is survived by his wife Sharon, his son Cliff and his sister Lynn. While at Hicksville High, I believe it was Carl who got the highest score on the math SAT's. Not surprisingly Carl obtained a full scholarship to Cooper Union, a small but highly prestigious engineering school in NYC. However, he soon became restless and moved to California where he attended California State Polytechnic Institute in San Luis Obispo. He loved the sunshine and mild climate of Southern California. Consistent with his life as a non-conformist, Carl completed all but a very minor requirement for a degree in electrical engineering. He put substance above form and didn't want a piece of paper (his college degree) to influence what people thought of him. As you might expect Carl was not a fan of holiday newsletters and would often chide me when I sent one. After college, Carl worked for computer design firms on Long Island and later in southern California near his home in Costa Mesa. I had the honor of being best man at Carl and Sharon's wedding in Brooklyn on January 26,1969. Cliff was born in June 1976. While at Hicksville High Carl loved to debate virtually any subject, often after ping pong with Bob Schaal and me or over the phone with Jack Gould. He never lost his interest in tackling difficult subjects and was a shining example of a lifelong learner. His interests went beyond intellectual pursuits. While still in his teens he walked more than 50 miles in about 15 hours and traveled with friends in a small and leaky wooden boat from Oyster Bay to Ocean City, NJ. In the past few years he joined several "skeptic" groups to pursue his interest in learning and debate and would often debate with me by phone (I may have bested him on only one occasion). His intellectual interests included evolution vs. creationism, climate change (I'm the tree hugger), the case for nuclear power, human powered transportation vs. the auto and when computers would control the world. He had begun to tell me about his solution to the Israel / Palestine crisis just before he died. I suppose you could say that we are all unique, but Carl was far more unique than most. I will miss him very much. Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones, Henry (Hank) Landau We
mourn the passing of Josephine Carfora...Editors Josephine Carfora

YEARS YOUNG LIFE
GOES ON MY SON, BUT NEVER HAS IT BEEN THE SAME
APRIL 26, 1982-SEPTEMBER 06, 2006 Death
never looks back to see my tears or how difficult life has become
now for me. When death stops a heart, it doesn't understand that it beats
with another. I loved the boy with the utmost love of which my soul is
capable of and
he is taken from me-yet in the agony of my spirit in surrendering such a
treasure, I feel a thousand times richer than if I had never possessed it. William Wordsworth Hi Bob and Gang, How very thoughtful of you to send an Anniversary Card to us...May 1st was our 45th Anniversary and we took a 4-day cruise to celebrate the actual date! Thank you for your good wishes! Barbara (Di Bella) and John Dowd '62 Hi
Bob, Thanks for the anniversary card. My wife Renee and I were married 45 years on April 4. We met at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn where I got a BFA in graphic design and illustration (returning later for a MS in Package Design) and Renee got a BFA in Interior Design. Attached is a photo of us taken last December in Zurich, Switzerland. Those are the Alps in the background. We have a married daughter and three grandchildren in Switzerland and visit them several times a year. Our son-in law grew up on Long Island and works for a Swiss company. You and the rest of the staff are doing a great job with the Hix Web site. Even though I've lived in New Jersey for 41 years I've been a constant visitor to Hicksville since returning to the US after serving in the Army a long time ago. My mother lived in the same house where I grew up until her death this March. She lived in Hicksville for 58 years. I'm looking forward to seeing many classmates from the class of 1960 at our 50 year reunion this June. Please pass along my phone number and email address if any of my classmates want to talk about our high school days. Thanks.
Tom Phon '60 Tom and Renee, Zurich December 2009 Hi, Bob Monette '56 ---------------------- Dear John Hattenback, Your former classmate Bob Monette (Class of '56) would like to hear from you. His email address is shown in the header of this message. We have suppressed your email address in the "blind copy" (Bcc) of this message so as to protect your privacy. Best, Henry -------------------- Hi Bob I was sent an email from HixNews that Bob Monette wants to get in touch with me. I cannot get through to him using the email address you provided. Please send him my email address. I came full circle after 55 years back in Hicksville off Woodbury Road...10 blocks from Hillside Terrace where I grew up after 16 years in Florida. Ray Baninski and I never got to take Pat (Koziuk) out for lunch in Florida. She got sick before it happened. John Hattenback '56 Editor note...just sent a note off to Bob Monette...Greetings!! I was looking at some older photos I had taken and thought folks may get a kick out of seeing them since I do not have everyone's e-mail address. I will do the best I can on names in these two photos. Marilyn Bowles '66 The first photo was taken in 1980 when a few of the class of 65, 66, 67 got together:

Internet yet but will let you know. Dear Bob and
editors, As you know
the class of 1960 will be having their reunion this coming June 5, 2010,
and it will be the first reunion since 1970. A few on the planning
committee and myself were thinking that it would be nice to have a
compilation of short biographies from each classmate to share their
life experiences. Submission of these short biographies, via email, would
not be limited to only those attending the reunion. Since HIXNEWS already has the infrastructure, we were wondering if you would help to compile the electronic file and make it available for download as a PDF in one of the monthly newsletters. I know that we are a little late with this idea and your help would be greatly appreciated, however, a no is OK. Bios would be
brief (100-200 words). Kathy Corey is standing by with all known
email addresses ready to send the request for the Bio's to the 1960
classmates.
Ron Rocek '60 Hey Bob, Many THANKS for the delightful anniversary card! 14 years and as happy as day 1! Just goes to show that there can be a fabulous light at the end of the darkest tunnel! Doreen (Jakabek '65) & Rick Wittig --------------------------------------- Really nice. --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Thank You for the
birthday card !!! Bob, What a wonderful surprise! I was sitting at the computer feeling a little blue for some reason and I opened your anniversary card and it made my day! Thank you so much for thinking of us! I really look forward to the Newsletter each month and so appreciate the hard work you all put in to make it happen. Thanks again. --------------------------------------- Dear Alumni Does anyone have a yearbook and can you please scan a picture of Robert Rausch? Or does anyone have a picture from another source? I'm trying to put together a special presentation to honor those killed in Vietnam. Bob was one of those casualties. Thanks. -------------------------- Is that Robert Rausch class of 1956??? ------------------------- ...yes, it is. I heard back from Dr. Helen Penner Ackerman and she scanned and is forwarding the yearbook picture. Do you have, perhaps, another picture to share with our alumni? Thanks, ------------------------- -------------------------- Charlie I've collected quite a few shots and don't need any additional pictures at this time. Did you view the presentation? The link was on the note to you. You are not listed on the Hicksville Vietnam War Era Veterans. I'm going to have Joe Carfora get in touch with you. Thanks for your help. --------------------------- Bob, --------------------- ---------------------- Charlie, Charlie Regards Buffalo
Bob On
February 9th, 2003, the Hicksville Newsletter Mailing List had
410 subscribers. We had a note from Rosa Szendy Patterson from the class of 1961. Her son, Robert, Has a disease that is catastrophic. More detail will follow. This note is to advise there was a fundraiser to benefit Robert's disease. Many of our alumni had no idea that Rosa was under constant duress. Most of us had no idea about the fundraiser. Some did, however, and participated by attending and supporting Rosa. I questioned Rosa about Robert's affliction and Rosa was kind enough to let me know more about her dilemma and Robert's disease. It
has been a difficult few months. My son, Robert, who was never very sick and
never in a hospital was working 22 days straight in February to save for
his wedding (that will be in October this year). He had very bad headaches
for a few weeks, felt sick and began throwing up one weekend Feb 20.... he
went to the doctor on Monday...his blood pressure was 180/111...the doctor
sent him home with muscle relaxants...that night Robert threw up bile and
when he went to Stony Brook Hospital on Tuesday morning, his blood
pressure was 230/127... He was near death; by a stroke or heart
failure...his kidneys were failing. They put a tube in his neck to
do plasma transfusion and then dialysis. After a week in ICU, 4 days of
plasma and kidney dialysis and a blood transfusion, he went to a regular
room. By the end of the second week, he had had the tube in the neck taken
out and a new one put in his upper chest, a fistula put into his arm and a
kidney biopsy done. The doctors determined that Robert had a rare disease
RPGN Rapid Progressive Glomularnephritus. His kidneys were gone.end
stage renal failure. It happens within 2 weeks and as little as 2 days.
Robert has since had tubes put into his abdomen for dialysis (PD peritoneal
dialysis). This is so that he can do the dialysis at home ... 10 hours
every night instead of the 3 times a week with took up more than 16
daytime hours. He was thinking that it would be better so that he might
eventually go back to work. He
did not have paid time off at hid job and luckily he did have
hospitalization, but he did not have coverage for medicines. On April 10,
Robert's 32nd birthday, a fundraiser was held. It was wonderful to see so
many people there. Friends of friends and even some of my high school
classmates, who I haven't seen in 49 years, showed their support. Since
then, 9 people tested as kidney donors and all are good candidates. The
doctors at NY Columbia Presbyterian Hospital said that a kidney transplant
should be done as soon as possible.... tentative date is June 1st.
Robert has been so strong, never complaining, always saying thank you to
all the doctors and nurses even when getting shots and difficult
procedures. He has not been feeling well lately and we pray that he
will be strong enough for the transplant operation. We
ask that you say a prayer for him and his fiancée, Melissa... they are
going through so much. Also,
at this time, our daughter Alicia, who is 38, is expecting her first baby
by Caesarian section just a few days before Robert's operation. Alicia is
having a baby girl and she will be our third grandchild in less than 2
years. We
are counting our blessings and continuing, as we all must do in hard
times, with faith and hope. Love,
Rosa Thanks
for remembering me with such a lovely card! FLASHBACK ** 1969 **

a few weeks ago. We had a chance to have lunch with Pam Weickmann
Swanson '58 in Scottsdale, AZ. (The photo was taken outside of the
White Chocolate Grill--a great place that Pam recommended!). On our
way home, we met Roger Downey '58 and his wife Mary for dinner in
Albuquerque, New Mexico and had a wonderful time talking about our
high school years and beyond.

Vicky with Roger Downey Hi Bob
-------------------------------------------------------------- I apologize. Kathy McDonald must be going crazy trying to coordinate this reunion. Sending notes to a myriad of people can be confusing especially when trying to keep several different columns of records. I, too, am glad you're alive and kicking. I cannot attend either. I can't abandon Joyce, who has Alzheimers. We finally have a routine and to change that would be disastrous. Good to hear from you and sorry about your hubby. Life's a bitch, then you die. love yah

This is the Flag that Doesn't Fly. In the fields where the flag is planted, there are...9 plus miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. Seed companies grow the flowers. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg Air Force Base. Santa Barbara, California. The dimensions of the flag, as described in Executive Order #10834, are maintained to the proper flag dimensions The floral flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide. The flag covers 6.65 acres.
It is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5 pointed stars. The stars are comprised of White Larkspur. Each star is 24 feet in diameter. Each stripe is 30 feet wide. It is estimated that the flag contains more than 400,000 Larkspur plants with 4 - 5 flower stems each for a total of more than 2 million flowers. When you look at the flag, think about the freedoms we have because our troops fighting distant battles guarantee us those freedoms. While reflecting on the symbol the flag represents, say a prayer for our troops and wish them a safe journey home. My brother - Robert Nadell - Class of 1960 - has just passed away.

much appreciated. Karen (Malter) Coles '65 Dear Arnie (Gould) I saw you note in HIX news and had to write.
A few days ago I saw an opening for a new musical called "Band
Geeks" and the name brought back fond memories! I do remember the trip to Rochester for the music
competition. What fun we had in the bus, in band practice, Mr.
Pellerin, and all the trips we took with band at HHS. After your class
graduated in '64, band was never as much fun! I live in CT, have been married for 40 years, have
2 kids, one married and lives in Portland, OR and one is in grad school
