    Fellow Classmates
    Youtube Videos Taken at Sachem High School

    Same Building! Same rooms, halls, and auditorium. Different students! I enjoyed seeing the auditorium and hallways! 
    You were the actors, and I was the guy that controlled the lighting for a few of the plays at Sachem; I did feel some connectivity when watching the "Beauty and the Beast video. The videography is great! 

    I got a Feeling:

    Winter at Hollywood Beach Lake Ronkonkoma

    From Hollywood Beach, looking toward St Mary's Church. The lake is frozen and Tony Perna is waxing the blades on his Ice Boat. LOL. The patch of woods in the upper right hand corner of the photo is where another alumni went to sleep after a long night on the town. LOL.



















    Photo of Raynors Park Looking across the road from what we know as Hollywood Beach. Hollywood Beach is currently called Ronkonkoma Beach.


     
     

















    What was at the top of the stairs?




















    Comment From John Hall:
    Hello Ben (and Marie)

    Thank you for the outstanding work you do in keeping the communications going in our Sachem family.  I rarely comment on the blog and I'm not into facebook, but the blog brings back so many memories of the good times growing up.  I graduated academically last in the class of 1961; it was Mr. Sacks and Mr. Bellofatto who guided me in my life.  They were more than teachers; they were my male mentors since I was raised by a divorced mother.  Failing out of Suffolk Community College my first semester they continued to advise me when I was no longer in high school.  Years later I maintained a 4.0 average at the University of Maryland in Heidelberg, Germany campus.  Many of our teachers are gone, but will never forget them and their dedication to their profession.

    Regards John

    Teddy's Luncheonette
     
    Does anybody remember which store was called Teddy's Luncheonette, in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY?
     
    What was the original name of the Bar on the right hand side? "I have no idea!"

    Sachem Class of 62 Reunion 2012
    From: Brenda Sichenzia

    Hi everyone, I have to send these in two separate messages because the mail router refused to send because of size.

    Hi everyone, here are the pictures from our reunion. I'm sorry some of them are blurry. The ones at the picnic and on the horse ride are fine. I'm not sure this was done correctly, so please let me know if you got them. George, please forward these to Vinnie and Jane and tell them the last one is of their daughter at her restaurant in Austin. Unfortunately, it was very dark in there so they will not be able to really see that it is Jennifer and me. Ben, please post these on the blog. I was the only "scared-y" cat that wore a helmet. I'm not sure how to do that.
