Gail Rast Class of 1960,

Still in "Entertainment"

As you may recall Our classmate Gail Rast was a vocalist in a band called "Tan lords Opera," in the early seventies. I did manage to see a few of her performances, at the "Country Tavern," in Farmingville, NY. Gail together with her sister Connie, and the Band, "Tan lords Opera," put on a performance that was second to none! I can still recall their presentation of a song originally recorded by the Fifth Dimension.; the "Age of Aquarius." Gail and Connie, together with the flawless musicianship of the band, literally "tore the house down!" The band was of such a caliber that they were invited to, and actually auditioned for the "Johnny Carson Tonight Show."

Gail, using the stage name "Gail Alexander," is still enjoying music and entertainment. She is currently a member of a band called "Sahara," that often plays in the Hamptons! A short audio clip of "Sahara," and a current photo of Gail, can be found at her band's web site!

Sahara and noted entertainer Prentiss McNeil, are also appearing together in their fabulous "Drifters Show." Check the links on Sahara's web site for appearance dates.

Gail managed to re-connect with our alumni group via a chance meeting with John Cassese.

Letter From Gail Rast Miner:

Thanks for the email. Yes, it was so great to see John Cassese.
I now live out east in Southold. Connie has moved to North Carolina and Rene also lives on the North Fork. I'm in Real Estate, a Great Grandmother and still singing! Not sure about publishing an "article" about my band - but you can visit the website. Tell all of your "classmates" we'll be at "The Riverview" in Oakdale Thursday April 26th - if you can come out on a school night- it would be great to see you. Better wear a name badge - it's been a l-o-n-g time.The best way to keep in touch is to email me at my husband's address fminer22@hotmail.com

Best Regards

Gail Rast Alexander Corwin Miner (whew - 3rd times the charm!)
