House&Son Reunion Photos Are Up

At long last, we've discovered that the many photos that our official reunion photographer and classmate, Rick House, and his son Jeremy took on July 24-25 are now up and available for viewing. A lot of you had inquired about the site and the problems you experienced accessing it, but it seems to be working now. Any questions that you might have about particular photos, send them directly to Rick ( fotoman1985@yahoo.com ) or contact the Houses through the site and hope you get a response. It takes a couple of minutes to get used to navigating the site and the 275 photos, and you can do it by either establishing an e-mail log-on/password, or "as a guest." As Ellen Annunziata Van Skiver said, she spotted "pictures of people I didn't even know were there!"

Wasn't It Great To See . . . .

I know the answer is probably EVERYONE! But maybe there's a classmate you'd not seen for years - since graduation. Maybe there's a great buddy with whom you lost touch. Maybe its the person who could always make you laugh until Coke came out your nose, or knows some small secret no one else knows! Perhaps someone you weren't close to then, is closer than you could imagine now.
It was great to see Barbara Scales our friendship goes back to kindergarten at St. Joe's. I always feel the world is an OK place because Barbara is in it. She's like my reality check - always tells it like it is. Why beat around the bush? Barb's here? Yup, life is good.
I was so happy to see Amy Eckert Mian! She always made me laugh til my sides hurt. I still remember her describing sneaking out of detention in a musical instrument case from her previous Catholic school. French horn? Tuba? Cello? Can't remember, but you can imagine her in there being drug, Bugs Bunny fashion, down stairs by her conspirators.
It was so good to see EVERYONE! Class of 74 and friends, you look MAAHVELOUS!

This Started My Reunion Weekend

While sorting out and putting away reunion stuff, I came across this note, given to me on Friday in the high school parking lot, before the tour, from Tom Annunziata Giordano. I sorta knew right there that I was in for a few days of fun.
