Alumna Camille Pelliccia Had a Great Time at the Pine Grove Inn!
Ben Vitale
Members of the Sachem Alumni Group decided to have a spontaneous Mini Reunion, at the Pine Grove Inn. Our fellow alumni John Cassese was scheduled to play, at the "Pine Grove Inn, with the Lloyd Roberts Quintet.

Camille Pelliccia Class of 1960, and my wife Marie had a great time at that Summer Event.
It was a perfect "Cool Night." We were outside, near the Great South Bay, eating dinner, enjoying gourmet desserts, and drinking Margaretas; what could be better than that? The only thing that was missing was Jimmy Buffett! Ha! Ha!






During the course of the evening Andrew Cassese, got on stage, and performed for the group. Andrew then came over to my table, and talked with Camille, Marie, and I for about ten minutes. Camille was looking at Andrew with a puzzled look as if to say; where have I seen him before? Camille then told Andrew "What a talented family you have."Camille loved the Vocal Entertainment, but could not recognize Andrew Cassese! At that time Camille did not know exactly who she had just called "talented."

Often when a person is separated from his normal context, he often becomes a stranger!


Enough of the suspense! We all know Andrew Cassese! All we have to do is see him in his "Normal Context!" The photo below should help!

You see him almost daily on TV Commercials!
Andrew will be appearing on the David Letterman Show, in a skit about "Security in the Office."

Andrew Cassese is enthusiastic about his tentative return to Broadway!
If and when this happens, our next Reunion should be in Manhattan!

Ken and Louise Dance-up a Storm at the Pine Grove!
Alumna Ken Muzzenigro, and his friend Louise are hard to keep down. I was really amazed when I saw Ken and Louise dancing. They looked like professional dancers. Ken is really active with our Alumni Group; he actually attended all of our Reunions, which took place across the country!



John Cassese Sachem class of 1960 Playing with members of the Lloyd Roberts Quintet.
This event was not LRQ Reunion 2007; this event may still come to pass? The evening excitement was further energized by the vocal appearance of Phillip Cassese, John's older son who is also active in the Entertainment Industry. More details to follow.



Soundtrack of the Song, Sweet Caroline.
The lighting was too dim to take a video, with the camera that I had with me! I then decided to record a Soundtrack. It was just one of those magic moments! You really don't need a video in order to feel the energy! The room was full of people, and the band played "Sweet Caroline." If you listen carefully you could hear the audience singing,

"Sweet Caroline," Bum Bum Bum;" and then "So Good, So Good, So Good." Everyone had a great time! The high pitched voice that stands out is either Camille, or my wife Marie!
