Newspaper Article from Deanna Giardina Mauch:

When I saw Mr. Cario's picture among Tony Perna's photos, I remembered that I cut out an article from the SARASOTA HERALD TRIBUNE which appeared about two years ago that I tucked away in my Sachem yearbook. All of us who thought fondly of Mr. Cario as a teacher and a coach will enjoy seeing this updated photo and newspaper article.

Comment from John Cassese.
I can't tell you how thrilled I was to see this picture. Sam and I still stay in touch, but I did not know it was his 50th. I will contact him and hope to connect him with the blog. He will love it. I spoke with Tom Paranelli...class of 60. he remembers you well and knew that your family lived on Ackerly. I brought him up to date on the blog and spoke to him about a possible reunion. You blog continues to knit the classes together and melt away the years.
Thanks

Comment from Ben:

Deanna deserves all of the credit for saving the photo! The Blog by itself would be just an empty book, without the contributions from our classmates. "Anyhow," it's fun to be a bookkeeper!"

Marylin and Maryanne have Mini Reunion at the Yellow Dog Cafe!

Hi,

April 3, 2009 I had the pleasure of reuniting with Maryanne Castiglione Bissett in Melbourne FL. My husband Don & I got together with Maryanne and her husband John Bissett (Gwen's brother) along with Maryanne's cousin Frank Locarriere (class of 61) and his wife Diane for a great lunch at the Yellow Dog Cafe which is on the river in Malabar. Then we had fun shopping in Melbourne.
Maryanne and I were good friends in high school and had not seen each other since the 20th reunion which was 30 years ago.
It is because of this Blog that we were able to find each other. Thank you so much Ben for all the time you spend keeping it current.
