Joanie Lalla Gerson:

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the storm picture. We did get the rains from Hurricane Bill up here in the Poconos.

I am confused. Fern said that Mama Lombardi's had to be booked a year in advance which brings us to August 2010. John said something about looking into music for the event. All we need is to have an organizer to secure a motel or hotel for us out -of- towners. A Long Island reunion would bring more people than some of the others, so it makes sense to have a small committee rather than just one person as long as they keep in touch with each other. It also makes sense to have a year to plan for it and spread the word. I was excited about the idea, even though it would be later.

I am also anxious to get together as are Marilyn and Bill so if there is a Florida contingency going out to Montauk this year, I will definitely make an effort to be there. By the way, the Poconos are very nice in September too!

There are several people from the class of '60 that we are missing. They are Eileen Flynn, Ann Dolan, Gwen Brantley, Arthur Busch and Ken Brady, Jean Johannsen and Marge Kirchner.

Anyone know where these people are.

Hi Everyone,

September 1st is only a week away and it appears that we still do not have anyone taking the lead in organizing our reunion. I am sure it seems overwhelming to plan a week of activities. It might be better if someone from Long Island could arrange a one night reunion event and those of us coming in from out of state could make our own arrangements to get together. Some of us would love to spend time out East in the Hamptons. One thing I would love to do is spend one evening at the Casa Bosso in West Hampton to see John Cassese. I looked at some hotels in the Hamptons on line and found September to be a good month because of less crowds and lower rates especially after September 15th. (Bill Monteverde had suggested a September reunion earlier in the Blog). We could then push the deadline to October 1st for someone to start planning.

Class of '60, I would hate to see our 50th anniversary go by without some sort of get together.
