GETTING READY TO MAIL INVITATIONS

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.

UPDATES: 8-23-2010

We just heard Kathy Hennessey passed away in August, 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.

We are getting ready to MAIL invitations, and questionnaires, with a deadline of probably Oct 1st for reservations.

I just spoke to Jay Baccile, and he'll be doing the photography again. His work was beautiful, and reasonable. Last time, he did class photos for each individual grade school members in addition to the entire class - very neat! He can be reached at 856-816-5710 if you need anything else.

If any of you have a classic car you wouldn't mind showing, there is a large overhang, creating a covered entrance way that looks like it will accomodate quite a few cars!

We had 470 members of the class of 1970 of which 29 30 have passed away. Another 15 are missing or not accounted for which leaves 426 alive and well and still accounted for! THIS is an amazing number!

Sadly, since the last reunion (36th, in 2006), Jim Piot, and Dr. Joe Williams passed away in 2008; and Linda (McMahon) Foster, and Al Pelych passed away in 2009.
Update: 7-10-2010: We just heard Jim Seitz passed away in 1999.
Update: 8-20-2020: We also just heard Kathy Hennessey just passed away; I can't find a public notice, but was told she had 10 brothers or sisters...
