Dear Friends,
By now, you should have received the change of address notice for the
newsletter. That is, except for a few of you who do not check your mail and
delete stuff on a regular basis. The reason for the new address hixnews@atlantic.net
is that Netscape has changed again. I spent all morning sending out the special
edition because Netscape no longer allows me to send something to 100 people.
After some experimenting, I found that I could send to 30 addresses. Since there
were 369 (now 389) addresses on our distribution list, I had to send it out 13
times! That means 12 times I had to move the message (special edition) from the
sent folder to the drafts folder. Then I removed all the addresses and the
propaganda at the bottom that Netscape attaches. Then I waited for the address
list to open before I could select the next 30 names and send it out again.
I really have enjoyed the last 2-½ years of working on the HICKSVILLE
NEWSLETTER and thanks to a suggestion from Arline Barna (1956), I can now send
out the newsletter with just one click. So please keep the news coming!
Sincerely,
Pat Koziuk Driscoll

Hi Guys . . . . .I'd like to relate a story to you
about just how small a world we live in . I'm a grad of '60 and have gotten
around to becoming a bus driver in my later years. I was attending a defensive
driving class conducted by my new employer along with some other co-workers.
During a break, we talked about things like birthdays and hometowns, and come to
find out one of the people there was also from
Hicksville
, AND he graduated in 1960 also. His name is Phil Bowdler. I went home and got
out the old yearbook and sure enough, he was on page 20 and I was on page 18.
What a way to run into another classmate!! I'd also be interested in purchasing
a T-shirt or other item to help offset the cost of HixNews.
Maddy (Bianco) De Louisa '60

I want to thank
Phyllis Jackson
for finding me.
If
it were not for HixNews I wouldn't have been found. I guess It would be a good
idea to give a brief synopsis of my life since graduating in '64. I became an
L.P.N. and then went on to college to finish my R.N. I graduated
Stony
Brook
University
with my B.S. degree, and for the next thirty years I practiced nursing until
retiring. My husband and I live in Aquebogue, which is on the North Fork of Long
Island. I'm very interested in gardening, and became a Master Gardner a few
years ago through the Cornell Extension Program. I have three beautiful cats,
and for exercise I walk and swim. I'm an avid reader and occasionally take
adult educational courses in forensics, computers, and even taught English as a
second language for several years.

p.s... I'd love to hear from my old classmates and friends.
