Class of 1964 Fifty
Year Dear Class of 1964 Many have said they would be interested in a Fifty Year Reunion. Maureen Uss created a page on Facebook asking who was interested but has not had much response. This note from me is to ask who would be interested in a reunion? Who would be interested in forming a committee and serving on such a committee? Because of the internet, it doesn't really matter where you live. Anyone who can communicate is a candidate. When should the reunion be held? Where should the reunion be held (location)? What should it include??? Sit down dinner??? Buffet??? Open Bar??? And anything else that might be relevant to a reunion. Please send a note back to bufbob@juno.com and I will act as a temporary contact. Below is a list of notes I've received from other classmates... Thanks buffalo bob casale Most Important...if you are in touch with other 1964 classmates, please send me a list of their email addresses. Unfortunately the note I sent out yesterday had 15 emails thrown back as not valid. Please help me expand the email list for the class of 1964. This
is what has been compiled so far for the Class of 1964 Fifty Year reunion. Please
give me some additional feedback. Who
wants to be the Chairperson that will coordinate the (see
the following note...) Added on Monday 24 March 2014 If no one else wants to
volunteer, I'm willing to be chairperson of reunion committee. Sincerely John Maniec 917-750-7842 I'd
(Buffalo Bob Casale) like to do a presentation for the class of 1964. Please
look through your photo albums and find me some pictures of when you were
attending Hicksville High. Especially neat would be pictures from your sophomore
hop, junior prom, senior ball, sox hops, parties you attended with friends, the
Senior Trip, school functions, plays, musicals, sports, the innish dance, Sadie
Hawkins day and any other photos that would highlight that special time of your
lives. Send them to me electronically if you can. If you need to send via snail
mail, I can give you my address and I guarantee to return them as soon as I get
them scanned. I
would like to open a website for your reunion but don't want to jump the gun.
Check out the following that we set up for the class of 1963... Also
what would be neat is to fill out a sorta biographical sketch that consists of a
form with questions about you. For example... Where do you currently live?
Known In Spouse/Partner...
Were you classmates at HHS?
Where did you meet?
How long ago?
Married How Long? Date Married: Children (names) Grandchildren (names) Occupation/Trade/Profession: Military Service: Hobbies/Pastimes: Now, the hard one. Tell us
what we need to know. Give us 50 years in the space below: Finally, if you had to do it all over again, I
would...

Donna Alu 1964 Donna Please do. Would you attend a 50 year reunion??? I went to mine and so glad I did. Lost two more alumni after the reunion. Thanks buffalo bob casale Hi Guys, I was just taking with my brother
(Jack Gould, 1960), and he asked if I had heard anything about a 50th reunion
for the class of 1964. I said, "No", but that I would check in
the latest HixNews newsletter. Unfortunately there was nothing there to
report. He had a great time at his 50th, and I was hoping that there might
be one for my class. Any word out there about one? Thanks,
Arnie Gould Class of 1964 Arnie We've had no information from anyone in your class about a reunion. I'm posting your note and we can see if anyone responds bob A follow up note by Arnie... Dear Bob, p.s... just found another 1964 classmate...Jeff Altman Last I knew he lived in Albany, NY.
Don't know about Gail. I was also
wondering if anything was going on for our 50th reunion? I created a page on
Facebook to see if we could get something going. Me and a few of my friends
organized and put together our 10th reunion. So, 40 years later with people
being all over and not really knowing what to do. Any suggestions? Thanks. Hope
all is well with you and your family.
Maureen Uss Bensen 1964 Have you seen this Facebook page: 50TH
REUNION CLASS OF 64 ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING? Mike Wallach 1964 Follow
up from Mike on the 24th of March...
Buffalo Bob- Thanks for the response and in answer to your questions-- It
doesn't matter to me where or when nor the format. I will get on a plane
and fly a few hours to get there. I won't be of much use in arranging
anything but should a reunion come about, I will attend. Bob, I
don't know the whereabouts of Gail Schaal. As far as our fiftieth reunion I
can't help with that either. The last reunion I recall was in 1989 which was our
25th. Guess we haven't done a very good job staying in touch. John Ciarelli was
our class president. Sorry I can't be much help. Peace!
Santo Carfora 1964 I'm very sorry however I do not
have any information about Gail. There are several Gail Schalls on Facebook. I
have not heard of any plans for a 50 year reunion, I would be interested
if you hear anything.
Deborah...thanks for mentioning the reunion issue. I'd be interested in knowing of any plans, as well.
Bob Karen 1964 Buffalo Bob After graduation I attended and
graduated from the Univ. of Colorado (The Buffalos) and then kept going west
where I graduated from the Univ. of Calif. Hastings College of Law in 1971 and
have been a criminal defense lawyer in San Mateo County (just south of San
Francisco) ever since. I am married (my wife is an RN) with
2 kids and a couple of grandchildren and very much enjoy northern California.
I live in San Carlos and still play ice hockey, work part time, and keep
busy. Henry Lichtenstein was a classmate of my brother's (Jed Schaiman
1959) and I remember him as tall and quite thin. I would hop on a plane
and get back to Hicksville in a flash if a reunion was taking place. I appreciate all the work you and
others do to keep us informed via the newsletter!!!!! Thanks,
Steve Schaiman '64 Buffalo Bob- Thanks for the
response and in answer to your questions...it doesn't matter to me where or when
nor the format. I will get on a plane and fly a few hours to get there. I
won't be of much use in arranging anything but should a reunion come about, I
will attend. Follow
up from Steve on 23 March 2014... Buffalo Bob, Since I have
been back to Hicksville about twice in 50 years, (I have lived in Northern
California since 1968) I would probably not be helpful in helping with the
logistics of a re-union as many of the places I remembered no longer exist!! I think Larry Senn who remained
in New York, would be a fountain of information as to email addresses for many
classmates, including Rob Roehrig, Joan Lawlor (Rob's wife) and Rick Cierski,
the latter of whom would still be the life of the party. Sorry to hear about Jeff Altman
who was one of the smartest and likeable people in our class! I have not
kept up with classmates due in large part to my being on the left coast all
these years. I'd love to attend a 50 year
reunion for Hix High 1964
Peggy Maier 1964 PS...I don't know where Gail is
at this time. I think the reunion could be in October, on Long Island somewhere
with open bar & buffet. I would be interested in being "part" of a committee
not running the whole show. Let me know where
and who to begin with. I just joined Facebook so I can look for Maureen Uss Bob and my 1964 Classmates I'm
willing to help organize that reunion. Would be nice to have some help so
hope others respond as well.
John Maniec 1964 Hi Bob, Both my husband and I graduated
in '64 and would be interested in attending a reunion.
I was sort of invisible in high school and don't know how many people
would remember me, but I do remember quite a few of the people I went to
elementary school with at Old Country Rd. School, as we moved as a class and spent
6 years together. In fact, another
grad, Sid Weiss, was instrumental in my husband and me getting together. I
would try to help if needed.
Claire (Claramae Gross) Ceravino
1964 & John Ceravino 1964 Bob & I would like to plan to
attend. We live 40 miles north of San Antonio, TX. Maureen Uss Benson and Bette
Harrison Germain try to get mini-reunions for lunch when we drive up. Thanks for all you do to keep us
informed.
Lorraine Kirwan Cheeseman 1964 Hi Bob,
Arnie Fox '64 Hi Bob, I'm interested in helping out but not until June when my time is more available. Also, I'm not a Facebook user so if that is the only means to find people, you may miss some, or a lot!!! Give me a head up... Regards
Roy Eismann Dear
Bob, Where
did 50 Years go !? Your
email got forwarded to me. Here's my email address -- I'd enjoy hearing about
plans for a Reunion.
Jesse
Treu 1964 Does
anyone have an email address for the following classmates??? Gerard
O'Brien * Donald Werkstell * Sandy Klausing * Mary Haas Thanks Buffalo
Bob Casale Bob Arnie mentions Jeff Altman. He was a
gynecologist, living in Albany, NY. He died of colon cancer last
year. Bob Jeff Altman passed away about a year and a half ago. He had been living in Albany. Please pass on to others. Thanks. Harvey Landress 1964 Seminole, FL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Altman Class of 1964
Altman,
Jeffrey, M.D. GLENMONT Dr. Jeffrey Altman, 65, of Glenmont, an obstetrician, an
avid and accomplished musician and photographer, and a devoted husband and
father, died November 5, 2012 at St. Peter's Hospice after a long illness. Dr.
Altman was born in New York City to the late Murray and Frances Altman. He is
survived by his loving wife, Karen McCann; his three daughters, Abigail (Antoine
Canonne) of Paris, France, Sarah (Eric Sloat) of Troy and Cassandra (Chad Caplan)
of Albany; his son, Gabriel, of Gainesville, Florida; and his sister, Judith
Davis, of Maui, Hawaii. He was predeceased by his stepmother, Barbara, and his
siblings, Robert and Jill. Dr. Altman attended Hicksville High School, graduated
from the NYU Film School, and received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Albany
Medical College in 1983. He specialized in obstetric medicine and served at St.
Peter's Hospital, Albany Medical Center, and the Whitney Young Health Center in
Albany. He was well known as a sole practitioner, with a patient-centered
philosophy that challenged more traditional practices. Jeff was a tinkerer and
hobbyist who relished each new project. He played saxophone professionally in
New York City and Albany with several bands and jazz groups. Most recently he
returned to his original artistic passion, and was recognized as a skilled and
creative photographer, winning several honors in regional shows. One of his
greatest joys was sharing his photographs of family and friends. He was an
excellent golfer and cyclist. Being a lifelong Mets fan contributed to his
already sardonic sense of humor. In his medical practice and in all of his many
other interests, Dr. Altman made hundreds of long-lasting friends who benefited
from his care, compassion and insight and who shared his enthusiasm and joy in a
creative life. The family wishes to thank friends, colleagues, and patients who
expressed their warmest wishes during Jeff's illness, and St. Peter's Hospice
for their care and support. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Jeff's
memory may make a Thanksgiving donation in his name to Capital City Rescue
Mission capitalcityrescuemission.com A memorial service will be held at the
Levine Memorial Chapel, 649 Washington Avenue, Albany, on Thursday, November 8,
2012 at 11a.m. Friends and relatives are respectfully invited to visit with the
family at the chapel on Thursday commencing at 9:30 a.m. and all are welcome to
remain for the memorial service. For directions or to sign the online guestbook,
please visit, www.levinememorialchapel.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob I, too, would attend if at all
possible. That would depend on when it is held and my teaching/research
responsibilities here at The University of Texas at San Antonio. I've talked
with a few other friends from the Class of 64, and some indicated the same
willingness to attend if possible. I will let them respond to you individually.
Unfortunately, given my full-time work and family responsibilities here in San
Antonio, I can't help organize...thanks, though, for getting this started.
Gerry Dizzino 1964 Dear Bob, Thank you so very much for your efforts on behalf of our Hicksville Class of 64. Joe Platt and Mark Seybert recently contacted me regarding our 50 year reunion. I will share your emails with them. I would like to help in some way with the planning. I look forward to reconnecting to our friends and classmates. As Sam Goldberg always reminded us "Tempus Fugit" Regards,
Harvey Goldstein 1964 A note from
Neil Barrocas... Werkstell is on Facebook Bob... September
would be good for me as well. I
agree a long buffet and appetizers would work well.
Other clicking begins etc....I've stayed touch with just a few and mostly
old neighborhood and church youth group friends.
Tom
Larkin 1964 Port
Hueneme, CA. I would be interested if it is held near an airport and held in the summer so we don't have to deal with snow, ice, etc. Should be very interesting...would there be a chance of a multi year reunion like last time? 62-65?
Dear Bob, Keep me informed what is going
on. I still live near Hicksville. I would be happy to attend a 50
years reunion. Thanks
Gerard "Gerry" Alfani,
1964 Bob I agree
that Facebook may not be a great vehicle for contacting the class of
64...considering that there were over 800 of us it would be great to have some
sort of reunion...but Pam Baker's attempt at forming a multi class reunion died
the quick death of apathy...I too would be interested in attending but I have no
contact with any of my class of 64 classmates...we had a reunion in 1989 that
was well attended...hopefully one this year will get a good response
Larry
Senn 1964 Follow up note from Larry on 23 March 2014...Bob,
you might want to touch base with Pam Baker (65) who tried organizing a multi
class reunion...as I recall she had a list of several people from class of 64
who were interested in a reunion and they are not on the current list of people
that you just sent to me. Hopefully Pam has their contact info...please
keep me on your list of people that can receive updates on the possible
reunion...as always...thank you for the outstanding efforts you put forth on our
behalf...YOU ARE THE BEST!!! Buffalo
Bob I
saw Sandy Klausing on Classmates or Facebook...it was a while ago.
Linda
Gund Agers 1964 p.s.
had a note back from Sandy Klausing Smith...thanks for the information. Bob, I can find nothing on Classmates
or Hix News concerning a class reunion. Do you have any information. Thanks
Judy Obrist 1960 I received an email requesting my email address for any interest in a 50th class reunion. Please forward this email to Maureen Uss. I would be interested in attending a reunion. Thank you...p.s. I would like to
attend a reunion but will not be able to serve on a committee. I think a
fair weather date would encourage more participation. Thank you for helping with the
alumni search.
Paulette Paul Murphy 1964 THANK
YOU SO MUCH BOB.. I WILL KEEP IN
TOUCH.. I GUESS YOU GOT MY EMAIL
ABOUT BILLY LOMNICKI'S WIFE.. DOES NOT END THERE. HIS DAUGHTER'S
FIANCE
DIED OF A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK.. 2 DAYS AGO.. A DAY AFTER NANCY'S

MAUREEN USS BENSEN..
AKA MOE Bob, Buffalo
Bob, Thanks
for the updates on the interest in a Class of '64 reunion. I now live in West
Point, Virginia, where I retired in November 2012 after serving for more than 40
years as a Protestant clergyman. I keep busy these days with writing (working on
my third book) and riding around on fire trucks as Chaplain
of our local volunteer fire department. My wife, Carolyn, and I have been
married 45 years and have two daughters and four grandchildren. I still keep in
touch fairly regularly with classmates Ron Wencer (in Toronto), Rich Garcia (in
Boston), Maureen Uss Benson (Long Island and Florida), and Dolores Radov Murphy
(not far from us in Virginia). I regret to report that our classmate Steve
O'Brien succumbed to a stroke just a few weeks ago. I'm curious to learn where
my classmates' paths have led them over the past fifty years and hope we can
have an opportunity to share our stories--if not in person, at least in a forum
such as HixNews.
Bill
Palmer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi
Bob: Depending
on the time of year, I have interest in attending a Class of '64 reunion. Would
you please pass along my e-address to the planning committee. Thanks,
Charlie
Henningsen 1964 Dear
Bob Yes,
I am interested in a 50 year reunion and would be willing to help out. Add
