Reunion Concert 2007

Fellow Alumni John Cassese, is working along with the other members of the Lloyd Roberts Quintet, in an effort to make their "Reunion 2007 Concert," become a reality! They hope to again hold their concert in Farmingville NY.

An undisclosed source has revealed that the second annual Lloyd Roberts Quintet Reunion Concert is now actively being considered. The first Reunion Concert was such a success that the proprietor of the Flaming Hearth has already given his approval, to again hold the concert at his establishment. I will publish the date as soon as my undisclosed source, pilfers some more information.

Sachem Alumni might want to try and schedule their annual visit to long Island to coincide with the tentative concert in 2007. For four hours I was transported back into the seventies at concert 2006; The 2007 Reunion Concert is a "must attend." What price can you put on "Time Travel?"

I will be there for sure! See you there!

P.S. Camille Palleccia also said that she will be there!!

When at Sachem, Gail had the the ability to bring out the best in the people around her. She was always a very positive person; and had the ability to turn negative energy into positive energy through her keen perception, and sophisticated sense of humor! Gail would always focus on the funny side of any bad situation!

Dear Ben and John,

I rec'd with much pleasure your newsletter and it certainly sent me into a "blast from the past". Especially seeing "Stu", my old pal, Marian Stuart Eskijian.

Tony Holland, my husband, and I visited my dear old pal Gail Tierney Griffith and her husband, Hoyt, at their home in Hendersonville, North Carolina last year. We had a wonderful time.

Tony and I live in Buckinghamshire, England. Here is some of what happened to me. In 1974 I came to England on a working holiday. I sent along my credentials and asked whether I could get a teaching job. I got a job in a primary school on the outskirts of London and spent the next 32 years teaching , which was wonderful. This enabled me to travel all around Europe. I married Mervyn Kelly who worked for British Airways and we settled down near Heathrow Airport. Sadly Merv died in 1996 and then after 8 years, I met Tony and we have been married for 2 years . Tony was also widowed , so we two old recycles got together and have happy times hiking, biking, playing in the brass band (trumpets) and in the concert band (Tony, trumpet, me, French horn), microlight flying and travelling as much as possible. Between us we have five children and 6.5 grandchildren. Life is very good.

My sister, Judith Johnsen Donovan, Class of 63, lives near Hartford, Conn with her husband, Russ. They have a son, Glen , and married daughter, Kristie, and two grandchildren. Her e-mail is DONRDJJ@aol.com .

Thank you so much for your time and effort and contacting the alumni and I shall look forward to hearing from you again.

(Another letter from Gail)

Hello Ben,Yes, it is alright to leave the contact numbers - who knows, someone might come to "Jolly Old" and it would be fun to meet up - we are 50 miles from London and on train lines.Regards, Gail (Johnsen) and Tony Holland

My address is :

14 Denham View, Granborough, Bucks, MK18 3NW, United Kingdom, and our phone is 01296 670 266 . We live between Milton Keynes and Aylesbury, Bucks.

Email Address: tgholland@hotmail.co.uk

Cheers!

Alumni Vacation Report

Pat Perkins Hits Caribbean!
Cruise Line Goes Wild!
In April 2006 our fellow alumna Pat Perkins had all good intention to have a restful vacation by going on a caribbean Cruise. As it turned out, the "party side" of Patty, took over, and the R and R was thrown out of the Porthole. It's party time and Patty showed the cruise line, exactly how it's done. At the "Island Party" Patty was the defacto event director; she soon found herself coaxing her fellow passengers into doing the Conga! That's right folks, one thousand passengers doing the conga across a deserted island, and patty was the ringleader!

The cruise line soon noticed that Patty was indeed doing a better job at creating a party atmosphere than the Cruise Director! The deck manager instructed the bartenders to take good care of their most valuable passenger!

Now it's time to "hit the Water," and swim with the animals! Our fellow Alumna was an instant success with the animals. Animals such as Sting Rays, and Dolphins have a sixth sense, and have the uncanny ability to sense a persons emotions. Even the fish knew that Patty was "good party material." Just for the fun of it Patty Kissed a Sting Ray, and a dolphin. As you can see, the Dolphin knew where the action was, came back, and then kissed Patty back. It is reported that these events transpired mainly because of our alumna's spirit, with a little help from a pitcher of Margaritas.

Patty also kissed a Frog. This time prince charming didn't materialize, but the cruise line is already soliciting Patty for a position of Entertainment Director. Who knows maybe prince charming will show up on the next cruise!!!

We Love You Patty!

A Few Words From George La Corte

Life has been good since graduation, some bumps and curves along the way, but today I find myself in sunny Florida working at Kennedy Space Center for the last 21 years. I will stay here at work because I enjoy it and will try to find time to retire someday.
Jill and I have been married for 42 years; have 3 married Sons, with 7 grandchildren.
We look forward to the class reunions these last few years that we have been able to attend in Florida and Arizona. Missed out on the cruise last year because I was owner/builder on our new home and could not find the time to join them. Hopefully next year in upstate NY, we may meet you all there.
Like most of you, we have moved around and selected new email accounts and if you want, email me at [geomims@yahoo.com]
Looking at some of these pictures that you have sent to Ben to be posted on these pages, has rekindled memories of each of you.
If you ever plan on a vacation and decide to go to KSC to take the tour, email me and let me know. Maybe we can meet for dinner after your tour the center? One question to all of you; why can I pick out all those beautiful women in these pictures, but only recognize some you “Older Guys”?

George La Corte and Pat Prince Rath at the Prom

Prom Photo
Ever since I received your first email I have been looking for an old picture from high school to send to you. Well I finally found this one of Pat Prince [ Rath] and me at the Prom and were wondering if you could add this to "The Sachem Blog page class of 1960" Hope to see you next year.

Marian Stuart Eskijian

Marian Stuart, may very well have been the most active person in our entire school! Marian belonged to, and participated in so many school activities, that it is a miracle that she had the time to do anything else!

It is apparent that our fellow Alumni, Marian is just as active as ever!

Dear Ben, --------------- Thanks for sending this "blog" out to us. It was a great "blast from the past"!! My husband and I travel a lot, but Long Island is seldom on our itinerary anymore. Tomorrow we are flying to California to visit some of Greg's family. My Mom died in 1986 and Dad passed away here in Jefferson City in 1996. My brother Earl and his wife live in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We visit them is February and usually do a Caribbean cruise with them while we are there. I have two children and three grandchildren. As you say, they are my "life" now. Many thanks for all the information. Please keep in touch and I will come when I can. Marian (Stuart) E.
