Judi Belden Lloyd, Nurse, Programmer, And Loves to Work With The Scottish American Community.

Hi, this is Judi (Belden) Lloyd. I've been in touch with some of the alumni through Joan (Whitty) Stawicki. We went to Arizona to one of the '59-'60 reunions. I am living in Raleigh/Cary, NC, and am a software developer (my second career) after nursing for 30 years. I have one daughter, Erika Ross, who married a Canadian she met while working on her PhD at the University of Toronto. They still live in Toronto and the PhD is on temporary hold since she is a stay at home mom to my two grandchildren, Dorian - age 3 and Sylvia - age 16 months. Whoever said at this age children and grandchildren are the main thing in life is definitely right. My second passion is traveling within the Scottish American community and setting up exhibition tents at various highland games. I am, in fact, heading to Dunedin, FL this weekend to do the games there on Saturday. I went to the Sachem Gala last year and saw Fern (Coste) Spies, Tom Sabatelle, Joan Knapp, Walter Dunham!!!!!, and several other Sachem alumni. I believe somewhere I have pictures of that reunion.My sister, Linda, is semi retired and living in Bradenton, FL with my youngest sister, Marsha. My brother, Ron, Class of '63 lives in NH, is married and has two grown children, and a granddaughter. My other sister, Barbie, also live is FL.

Marylin Giove Chion, Class of 60, Celebrating Her 44th Wedding Annaversary This Month!

Hi Everyone,

I loved getting this email!

I have a few pictures to share, but only found this one for now. It was 3rd grade at Lake Ronkonkoma School (n/k/a Gatelot). Mrs Stegaman was our teacher and aren't we adorable.

Now for my memory:

If any of you are in this picture and I misspelled your name or gave you the wrong name, I will welcome your corrections.

My name is now Marylin (Giove) Chion and I have been married to my wonderful husband Don for 44 years this month. We have two grown and married children Donny and Lauren and two granddaughters, Alex 12 and Hayley 8. We all enjoy doing things together as a family and go on vacations together at least once or twice a year. We live just outside of Orlando Florida.

Now I am going to go crazy until I find the other pictures, but I am sure I will and will send them later.

My email address is marylinc@cfl.rr.com

Ben Vitale, Class of 1959 is Still Enjoying life!

I worked for Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1960 to 1970. For the next 36 years I have been and still am employed by The Geoscioences Department, at Stony Brook University, in New York. I work on Electronic Equipment such as Mass Spectrometers, and high temperature and pressure equipment; I also design and program, Computer Control Systems!

Class of 59. Ben Vitale has three grown-up children. He enjoys playing Polka with his Grandchildren.

Actually at this stage in my life my children and grandchildren are everything! If I had known that Grandchildren were so "great;" I wouldn't have had any children at all! Ha Ha!

Soon after all of my children have moved out of my house, I discovered that I magically had "a lot more money." With the funds from this de-facto pay raise, My wife and I travel as much as we can.

I no longer play with my Band, but I am still working as a DJ; Complete with a Light Show! I have "lots of fun," entertaining. Many of you may not realize that I am actually a "transplant," from Port Jefferson High School! I only attended Sachem in my senior year. My DJ business has allowed me to entertain my fellow Alumni from PJHS; I have played three Reunions so far, and plan on again doing another reunion in 2007. "Again" " a blast from the past." This Blog represents my "Sachem blast from the past."

I also gets along with animals "very well!" WOW! Double Left Click on the photo of the Bear! I met this Bear on main Street, in Anchorage Alaska; he seemed friendly enough. Please don't try this yourself; my Bear was a Harvard Graduate; and he also talked! Ha Ha!!!!!

I enjoy taking photos. The second photo was taken in Las Vegas, at the base of the Paris Casino Tower! I entered it in a photo contest and it did not win a ribbon! I still think it is a great photo, and display an enlargement in my office!

I can be contacted using "Netmeeting" at 129.49.95.192

Send an Email first so that I can turn on the computer.

Patty Lives in Florida!

Pat Perkins attended Port Jefferson High School, before coming to Sachem. From Cruises to "Space Camp," Patty is still "out there," having a great time! The age is not as important as the "spirit." As you can see, it's still there!

What Else Were Alumni Doing? Entertaining! Judy Erickson, Arlene Erickson, John Cassese, Ben Vitale, Charlie Lee, and Non-alumni Lee Adrian.

This comes as a big surprise to me! At the time of the show, we did not have a clue, as to who Lee Adrian was! If you read the article about the show, Lee Adrian, from the University of Rochester, also appeared with us, and was about to release a record. Through my research, I was surprised to discover that we actually played in a show with a "Genuine Celebrity!" The record label is different, but the year, artist, and group name, are correct!
