We, it's over! The 40th Reunion was a big hit!
Thanks to everyone that attended and supported the Reunion!
The hall looked fabulous, the music and food was terrific!
Classmates came from Colorado, Massachussets, Maryland, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Montana, Minnesota, California, and Alaska.
The Class of 1969 had a nice turnout given the short notice mailing, to only a short list (about half) of their original Class. Ray Deluca and Charlie Grandi will be looking for help to continue to locate missing classmates for future and interim reunions. If you would like to help, send an email to cchsclassof70@hotmail.com
All total, we had 170+ attendees! For 30-40 minutes AFTER the music ended, and the bar was rolled away there were 30-40 classmates still lingering around! This Reeunion could have gone on for a few more HOURS!
The 45th Reunion, judging by the turnout at other schools will be a BIG Reunion.
We have directories printed, and after we catch our breath a little, we'll securely post online somewhere, or make it available by email to those that were not able to attend.
Classmates are already planning interim events, as this was too good of a time to wait 5 years again!
In fact, some are planning to attend the CCHS vs. Paul Vl football game, Wed. evening before Thanksgiving AT PAUL Vl High School.
And others are already talking about an ALL FLORIDA (IN Florida of course) Reunion for Classmates in the South-Southeast
Linda Schilling has created a photo album at Picassa. This has been updated with about 170 photos. Feel free to add to this album, and identify classmates in the "comments" section. We'll probably add tags to the pictures a little later.
Link to Linda's album Linda's Picassa Album Updated
I asked Jay Baccile, the Reunion photographer, to allow additional time for additional orders, before printing the 8 x 10 photos of the group pictures (Class of 70, Class of 69, and St Peters Merchantville Classmates).
So, order ASAP to ensure receiving a copy, if you did not already order at the Reunion!

Update Oct. 31, 2010
UPDATE: 10-31-2010
Sadly, John Crean passed away Oct. 24th, 2010. His services were Oct. 28th in Linwood, NJ. John was a carpenter supervisor for the Borgota Casino. I'll post a link to the courierpostonline.net shortly. He was pre-deceased by his brothers, Kevin and Gene. I knew John from homeroom in CCHS. We didn't have any classes together, but twice a day I would see him in Fr. Vic's homeroom. Between John and Father Vic (Yorio - died in 2007), it was like comedy central! The description of John as being in a state of "constant comedic humor" is how I remember him. If John, Fr. Vic and Dr. Joe Williams (died 2008) are together, there is surely plenty of laughter. God Bless them all.
UPDATE: 10-25-2010
We just heard from Tom Stacy (CapeMay, NJ) that Tom Moorehead passed away in April 29, 2009. Tom looked him up in Florida, and didn't find out until later. Tom was a CPA with a a small but famous group of clientelle. I'll post the notice later.
UPDATE: 8-25-2010
Sadly, Al Dowell Jr. passed away Aug 25, 2010 after a lengthy illness. Al changed my life in the early 1970's by giving me some detailed, automotive technical advice that I could not find anywhere else! This led to a great 15 year run in the automotive service industry. Thanks, Al, I always remembered you for that. - Bud (Walt)
UPDATES: 8-23-2010
We just heard Kathy Hennessey passed away in July, 2010. I can't find a public notice, so I suppose services were private. She is survived by 10 brothers or sisters, and I think resided in Berlin, NJ. Keep her and her family in your prayers.
OTHER PASSINGS:
Father Victor Yorio - 2007 , died suddenly in Florida. He had left the priesthood, and was married (later divorced) and had 4 children.
Dr. Joe Williams - died suddenly in Aug. 2008, suddenly. Dr Joe was another hilarous individual! Joe and I shared some classes in CCHS. So, I had John Crean and Fr Vic in homeroom, and Joe Williams in classes! I spent as much time LAUGHING, as I did LEARNING!
Jim Piot - died in Phila., within a day or so of Joe Williams, in Aug. 2008.
Linda McMahon Foster - died in 2009 in Florida. I went to grade school at St Peters with Linda, and remember her great accordion performances (I played, but not so well). When told of Linda's passing, classmates remembered her for her beautidul, long blonde hair, in grade school.
Al Pelych - passed away also in 2009, in Florida, only a 10 miles or so from Linda McMahon. He was single, had a sister in Alaska.
Jim Seitz - passed away in 1999. We didn't hear about this until this year, as we were mailing a sibling at the old high school address.
THESE ARE WHO WE ARE AWARE OF SINCE THE LAST REUNION, IN 2006.
