Bill Monteverde:

Dear Classmates,

I believe that all of us are contemplating a Long Island reunion but this is not likely to happen? At twelve months out we do not have a "Leader, Owner" to direct, manage and execute our 50th reunion.

We should all ear mark September 1, 2009 as the final date for a L.I. located reunion.

After this date, my hope is that a "Leader" will emerge from another State?

Sincerely,

Bill Monteverde

Pat (Prince) Rath:

Hi Everyone,

Ben, I got your mailing list. Another great job, thanks!

I agree with Billy Monteverde's comments. As an organizer for a past reunion, I know only too well that it is a lot of work. However, if someone doesn't step up and agree to be the "Leader" , nothing will be generated. I would think, that with all the enthusiasm we are seeing and hearing, many of us would agree to help out in various ways. Many of us from out of town who still work would need a date to plan a vacation around the reunion. I for one wouldn't want to spend a lot of money traveling for a one night dinner/dance and would want to spend more time in the area visiting or attending more than just one function. We found at the Florida, Arizona and Cruise reunions that the weekend gatherings where shorter than we would have liked, but it sure made for a great time when some of us were able to visit the Grand Canyon together and spend a lot more time just being together on the beach or at a bar-b-que sharing our stories of the past 50 years. I would be more than happy to work with anyone who would step up to be the Leader.
