Mrs. Adler - She made Thoreau exciting ! Mr Karp - I'd never have passed the Social Studies Regents without his help ! Mr. Watthews - He made biology and disecting critters exciting. Mrs York - Her love of music inspired my love in music. Mr. Spelich - I never considered myself an artist until I took his classes. Mr. Schartzer - Believe it or not, he was a blind date my first year in college...talk about embarassing...
I see a Chinese fire drill occuring in the middle of traffic...or go to Thatcher Park...or attend a BC football game...
All the fun we had producing Lil Abner !
Berlin High School 2007 Yearbook... I was advisor...and I really enjoyed doing it.
am a grandmother. Aryn had a baby girl on February 20, 2007 - named Helene. She's beautiful and a joy !
Bucksport, Maine - Our school had an Exchange concert there in April 2007. It is a beautiful place, and the people are so nice and friendly. They opened their hearts and homes to us. I really want to go back there !

Associate Dean of the Faculty, Princeton
Mrs. York - instilled a lifelong love for all kinds of music except opera (sorry!) and taught me enough music theory that I majored in math in college (yes, there's a connection there) Mr. Bozzella - any other "Bozzella's Fellas" out there? Mrs. Pock - anyone else remember that quiz she gave us to see how many of us knew the epithets for various racial, ethnic and/or religious groups? Don't you wish we STILL didn't know most of them? Mr. Hall - WAIT! I've got an IDEA! shhhh - don't tell anyone. Being called "Sister Williams." Mr. Robinson - let me do my AP chem project on organic free radicals, which led me to abandon math in grad school and get a PhD in organic chemistry.
Working at Princeton, BC's colors are EVERYWHERE - seeing people wearing orange and black is downright commonplace around here. Also, my next-door neighbor went to BC (12 years older than we are) and a work colleague did also (alas, 12 years younger than we are). All three of us had Mr. Hall, and our spouses roll their collective eyes when we begin regaling them with stories about him for the hundredth time.
all those music groups - choirs, bands, orchestras.
I was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2006. Not bad for someone who's been out of the lab for 13 years. I also serve on the board of trustees for our local watershed association, and the local affiliate of Planned Parenthood.
I've been playing in a rock band with my husband and a bunch of talented neighbors for the past 8 years. The original name for the group was more interesting (The Dadolescents and the Hot Flashers) than the one we have now (The DADZ). The group is much better than we were when we had the better name. Go figure. Have a look at http://www.thedadz.com - the person with the white hair used to have red hair...
Jon and I lived in Belgium for two years (73-75), where we crossed paths with Don Bardole and Maggie Woehrle way back when. It's a charming country, lots of little hidden gems that nobody ever heard of.
"I'm a Man" - either the Spencer Davis Group or the Chicago version "I Want to Take You Higher" - Sly and the Family Stone "Jumpin' Jack Flash" - Rolling Stones "Hold On, I'm Coming" - Sam and Dave (I like the Clapton/BBKing version better) "C C Rider" - I wanna say Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, but I could be wrong "You Really Got Me" - The Kinks "Shotgun" - Junior Wells "Born to be Wild" - Steppenwolf
At our Adirondack camp, just north of Warrensburg, watching the Hudson River flow southward. Second favorite way is playing in the band - well, maybe that's first during ice season and blackfly season on the Hudson.
I look forward to seeing everyone!

mrs. york was my favorite teacher ever and mentor in many ways. i also felt very fortunate to have been in betty crummey's classes.
hearing music always triggers memories -good and not so good- for me.
music, sports and friendships made the rest worthwhile (get the feeling academics didn't hook me back then?) the choir competitions-remember those 6a+, and singing lotti, "crucifixus" in some cathedral?
helped create a life and family constellation that holds great meaning for me. i like to build adirondack furniture and experiment with encaustic (wax-based) painting. life is good.
am a lesbian and also ordained (ucc) minister
seville, spain and county cork ireland
motown, beatles, early folk
kayaking, hiking to waterfalls, building things with wood and "found objects", being part of drum circles..
enjoy each other and the fact most of us are still keeping on. that memoriam list felt sad-good folks.
wishing you and yours all good things !!

Mr Dececco- wasn't he everyone's? Sense of humor, cared aboiut the kids, and created an environment where everone wanted to learn.
Not many reminders anymore. When the kids were in school it was different.
The "sit-in" and the alarms going off in the lockers in our senior year
Have won awards for not only sales production but also community service and furthering personal education
Sing in a band
It may not be the most interesting, but it is the place I return to every summer for 29 years- Saranac Lake. The same week, at the same place, with many of the same people. It is our "summer friends" place. We have watched all of us grow, have children, grandchildren, pass away, and still we all seem to gravitate back to that one special week each year to be with special people.
Whatever anyone else likes is fine with me. Don't have a lot of "favorite" 60's songs.
Wine tasting, dining out, travel, listening to other bands.
No- you guys always have done a great job.
I have contacts nationwide and in Canada through my networking group if anyone needs real estste assistance, either buying or selling. I can connect you with the top agents in your area or any area of relocation! I look forward to October!

Daughter Mallory (just turned 17), junior at Calvary Christian HS. Steps: Kathy (37), marine biologist (B.S. Univ Miami, M.S. Duke), 2 children (3 & 6); Chris (36) computer engineer, FSU & GA Tech
Teaching 2 yr olds at church preschool. Substitute teach PK-12th at Mallory's school.
Mr. DeCecco: he practiced what he preached - "...if you treat a man as he can and ought to be, he may become as he can and ought to be." (p 16, '67 yrbook). I'm sure he meant women as well. Mrs. York for inspiring her students and defining "classiness." Mr. Karp for his wit and fairness. Mrs. Crummey for her compassion and caring. Most especially, Kimball Howes - he put up with a lot from us (joining the "sit down" and not freaking out by the alarm clocks in our lockers during Senior Week)!
I feel my daughter is my proudest accomplishment.
finally figured out what to be when I grow up. This realization is relatively recent (2 years ago). I'm currently working on Master's in Special Education at Columbus State Univ. I'll probably be one of those old ladies who will be written up for graduating at the age of 90!

I would have to say that Mrs. Adler stands out the most. She was strict but she taught me to love lterature. A gift that lasts a lifetime. Although Miss Barnes from grade school also left her mark on my education. I loved the way she read aloud stories....
Gosh, I don't think much about it. I left and didn't look back.
I remember being so shy in high school. As someone else has said. Age does change us. I do a lot of professional development for teachers in Math and Science and I have begun to work with administrators. My first public speaking class in college had me shaking in front of everyone, I know my paper I was reading from shook the whole time... I got over it.
I guess most of you are still back in New York. I lived in Colorado for about 13 years after college and then moved to Washington State, if you have never been here is it beautiful. I have a sister in Isreal so I have been there once, I chaperoned a high school trip to France and England with my husband and two children when they were in high school. I would love to get to Italy-
I like the Bee Gee's
I like to work in my yard, spend time with my grandchildren, remodel homes and play golf (I am married to a golf pro so I guess that has to be on the list)
Delmar seems so far away now, but I know it is a part of me. I get back to New York quite often now that my parents are in their late 80's. They moved to Cooperstown so I don't get to Delmar anymore. I have taken my kids to the Tollgate for old times sake. Terry Foland and I were married for awhile. We share my daughter. He lives in Boulder, CO if any of you want to look him up.

Retired Systems Analyst/Programmer
Mrs York for choir (even in Jr. High); Mrs Jerry, Mrs. Adler, Mrs. Cummings. Guess I'll have to find my yearbook to jog my memory as I'm sure there were others. Is it a sign of Alzheimer's when you can remember the names of your 5th and 6th grade teachers (Mr. Franze and Miss Ives respectively - both great) but can't remember ones from high school?
I head over to Delmar, although it's not that frequently now that I no longer have family living there.
Wow, that's a tough one. Guess I'd have to say going to football and basketball games, especially the rvialries with Shaker High and the basketball sectionals; taking exams in the gym (you didn't say they had to be FUN memories); the non-conventional physics class senior year (taught by a new teacher whose name I can't remember) which had us doing experiments in the halls and outside, much to the dismay of other teachers and the administration. What's wrong with using plunger-equipped carts as skateboards in the halls?; having the party after the senior class play at my parents' house; Senior Week - us girls biking from the jr. high to the high school, the alarm clocks going off simultaneously in the lockers, paying for lunch with pennies, and the sit-in in the student foyer, with Dr. Howe joining in; Senior Slob Day where we actually got to wear clothes (jeans, shorts, t-shirts, sandals) that are now everyday school attire for today's kids. I'm really dating myself, aren't I?
Mostly work-related awards and awards from orgainziations I've worked with. Nothing particularly noteworthy like a Pulitzer, an Emmy, or even the Lottery!
Again, this is a tough one as I've been very fortunate to do a bit of traveling: trips to most Western European countries, all major Mexican beach resorts (plus a few more out of the way), most major Caribbean islands . Most unusual were Ambergris Caye, Belize where golf carts & bikes are the most common mode of transportation; Roatan, Honduras where private yachts (some with helicopters) anchored off-shore are a stark contrast to sub-standard residences most locals live in; Macuto, Venezuala where police patrol with sub-machine guns & a parking ticket is a huge decal slapped on driver's side of the windshield so everyone knows you parked illegally (might be a way to cure parking violations in the States). It's hard to forget doing a helicopter tour of the Thousand Islands when halfway across St. Lawrence River major engine problems developed. Made for an extremely interesting ride & landing at Kingston, Ontario ariport. My favorites: Hawaii & Bonaire for snorkeing; Britain, Ireland, Germany, & Holland for sights & history; & just about any beach, even when subjected to a 6.2 earthquake!
There's lots that come to mind but songs by The Righteous Brothers, The Letterman , & The Beach Boys; "Light My Fire" by the Doors (primarily because they played at college freshman orientation); and all of those good dance tunes for things like the Twist, Mashed Potatoes, Stroll, and Swim!
Planning and taking trips to all kinds of places, gardening, working on home projects, getting together with friends.
Thanks so much to the reunion committee for doing all this, especially taking on the challenge of trying to locate almost 350 people after 40 years. Unfortuantely I'll "be in dentention" in AZ during the reunion as we had already booked a trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon prior to hearing about the reunion, so I won't get a chance to visit with all of you. I have a lot of fond memories of the days at BC. It's too bad we didn't always realize what a special time in our lives it would be. I've been enjoying reading the surveys that have been submitted so far and it was interesting to see how many members of the class are still in the Capital District or not too far away. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Paul Zeh lives only about a mile "down the hill" from me in Rotterdam! I hope all of you have a great time and that you'll take pictures and post them on the website (thanks, Charlie!) for those of us who can't make it.

Mrs. York - she was a wonderful teacher and I really looked up to her
One of my favorites was doing the play "Li'l Abner" and what a great time that was! Also, I loved going to all the NYSSMA events and meeting kids from other schools. There were lots of other times that were terrific, but the memory is fading!
still sometimes have nightmares about trying to open my school locker and not remembering the combination - will that dream ever end? (Honestly, I haven't had it for quite awhile, so maybe it has ended already)
Barbados, Bermuda, all around the United States, and the fantastic trip I had to Argentina as an exchange student between our junior and senior years. My favorite place to be for time to relax and enjoy the beauty of the world is southern Maine.
Too many to choose from.
Spending time with my three beautiful granddaughters, reading, reading, and reading (I have always loved books!), knitting, driving to places I have never seen before.

A tough choice but I think Mrs. Adler takes the prize. She inspired me to read and enjoy books I would never have considered.
Mmmmm....frequently at work for reasons I cannot disclose
One of my favorite memories is driver's ed with Joyce D and Connie S.
I been many places but I think the most interesting was hiking the Inca Trail to Macchu Pichu.
Anything from '64 to '77 works for me. My all time favorite is Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson
Travel, long distance walking, reading and needlepoint
I hope there is plenty of time to reconnect and catch up.

I remember this great science teacher. Tom Matthews was a younger teacher. He created an interest in science that stayed with me. I remember how Gladys Hosey loved kids. Who could forget the enthusiasm of Mrs. Jerry and Mr. Turner. Mr. Karl took the time to tutor me in history. He was patient and always there. Today, I love to go to historical sites and I remember the lessons of Mr. Karl and Mr. Brown to this day. We had a great team of teachers. I loved almost all of them, it is hard to say who was my favorite. My own kids never had teachers that matched the ones we had. We were lucky, although we didn't know it at the time.
Football, football, football and hot dogs. The Pittsburgh area is all about football all year. I am always reminded of my high school days around here. Remember our dress code? Dress-down day was fantastic. Today, kids don't need or have a dress-down day.
Charlatans was a blast. My artistic talents went into the photography club. I remember cooking all the hot dogs for the football games. Did you ever wonder who cooked them? You guys sure ate them. To this day I end up doing all the cooking of whatever. Hmmmm. The four corners. Is it still there? What about the Delaware Plaza? With the malls is it still there?
I was one of four founding members of the Keepers of the Circle Native American Community Center. I headed up the Answers Coalition and environmental group to close the incinerator in downtown Albany because it was a health hazard to the residents of the area. I have had a couple of poems and articles published. Writing has always been a passion which I do it just for the joy of it.
I am Native American. I passed as a non-native so I never volunteered the information or spoke about it. It is a culture most people are unaware of and don't understand. That is the reason why I mostly kept to myself and was quiet during high school. Thankfully, times have changed and it is acceptable to let people know who and what you are without fear of rejection.
Reservations throughout the United States. My family attends pow wows across the country to celebrate our culture, meet with family and friends and dance.
Beatlemania all the way.
Precious free time is spend on travel, pow wows, movies or a good book. I spend allot of time making regalia, bead work and crafts.
I could not attend. Looking at the pictures it looks like I missed a whooping great time. It would be great to connect with all those familiar faces.
Despite the years and miles between all of us, it is good to stay connected. Without our past was have no present, without our present we have no future it is all connected. Who are we to stop that circle of life, keep it up everyone.

I hear our songs: Hang on Sloopy (don't hear that one one too much any more), Louie Louie (of course), Knock on Wood, the Beatles' Norwegian Wood album - always reminds me of one particular party at Nancy Austin's house - parents away (of course) and so much more
Oh my gods goddesses! Let me come back I could go on and on and on. So many good friends. So many good times. Such warm feelings of caring and sharing. Football and basketball games. Cheerleading. Parties. Sneaking out at night! Drinking. Discovering boys. Great teachers. Great community. Warm evenings enchanted with the wonders of coming of age. Snow and ice storms that didn't keep us home...just called us out to go toboagganing, or walk and walk and walk (remember walking ? ) Oh my, I'll come back here later....
Knock on Wood, Louie Louie, more later ..... some you can dance to and some are just special ....

Gordon Molyneux-taught me to be politically active (and also that powerful looking men with stern bearing are usually sentimental on the inside). Mrs. Adler, of course. I still have her AP notes. Mrs. Barnes, gr. 6, Elsmere-made me think I was a great writer.
I see a drive-in; a show about JFK; or chaperone a prom (Tom and I did this at least 30 times when he worked at Shen.)
Skatelines; circle dancing to "Gloria" with our exchange student in the middle;middle school pit parties after the game; Wednesday night dances in summertime; Lil Abner; GAA sports/friendships; Dr. Howes joining our sit-in at the intersection of the hallways.
Not directly, but I received a paid sabbatical for independent study from BC and have always felt that "Time spent teaching is never lost". I hope that my students left me with confidence, optimism, trust, skill and joie de vivre.
play bagpipes and compete throughout the northeast and Canada with the Capital Region Celtic Pipe Band.
Favorites include: Doolin, Ireland; St. Andrews, Scotland; Victoria, BC
Mustang Sally (right Harold?) Four Tops; Temps; Fun, Fun, Fun
golfing, reading and writing; volunteer naturalist at Five Rivers Environmental Center (Hi Pit, I taught maple sugaring this year!); volunteer at Ronald MacDonald House; traveling; visiting every brew pub we come across, piping and learning to play piobaireachd, studying ancient Scots and Picts history.
I've been married to Tom Doody (LaSalle '64) for 37 years and going strong. Anyone who doesn't make it to the reunion is still as much a part of us as those who do. We are bound together.

Can't think of anything right now, but will be in touch if I get any great ideas..I talk to Nancy Wycoff regularly.
I feel very connected to my old classmates. We shared a crutial time in our lives...A time of change, challenge, insecurities, successes. I our own ways, each of us were asking the "big questions" and looking for answers. Perhaps we are all doing that again! On top of that, the world we were entering in 1967 was so exciting and in such flux and hopefully we all made it through that and more.

sorry but having witnessed Woodstock firsthand many memories have faded.....
not really,no,no,no....Cathy and I created two incredible kids who seem to be carrying that forward.
Limited travels but enjoy whenever able, SanDiego, Olympia, France...really need to get back to Europe, and of coarse semi regular trpps back to Delmar which remains unremarkably unchanged.
looks like most everything has been covered......didnt see Archie Bell and the Drells or The Swingin Medallions mentioned

Consulting geologist/geo-tech
Mr. G- who would probably be surprised that I ended up a geologist after my first C's ever in his class; Mrs. Adler, of course; Mrs. York; Mr. Symula who was a great math teacher; Mr. Brooks and his wonderful colloquialisms "fly in the ointment" and "pie in the sky"; Mr. Robinson; Dr. Howe. I don't think we really appreciated the quality faculty that we had at the time.
I was teaching middle school science for 8 years and I'd see people from our class in my students; when I would visit Delmar; when I would hear "We are the eagles, mighty might Eagles", sung by my kids' high school rival!!
I so loved music and choir in high school. I have very fond memories of Lil Abner and wanting to run off to New York to audition for a musical when it was over. I totally agree with Charlie Redmond that the curtain call on the last night was a great moment. I really appreciated that the senior play afforded me the opportunity to get to work and spend time with kids who were not ones normally hanging out with me. I know it's nerdy, but I really did enjoy all of my classes... with the exception of 10th grade World History. Does anyone remember poor Herr Ziefle, student teacher in German??? I thought of him often when I was student teaching. Ouch, did I feel guilty.
I was Outstanding Earth Science teacher in Texas in 2001. I've presented a few talks at national geology meetings in the past and I published a paper based on my Ph.D. thesis in coastal geology. I am most proud of my three great kids.
have been taking flying lessons for the past 9 months and have over 50 hours in the pilot's seat. I soloed in March and have been steadily working toward my private pilot certificate. I don't want to jinx it, but I hope to have my license by reunion time. My husband and I are part owners of a Mooney. I've been flying for quite a while in the right seat as he pilots the plane. Last fall it dawned on me that if something happened to Chaz while we are flying, I wouldn't know how to land the plane. Now I do!!!!
My husband, family and I were fortunate to have lived in London, England for 4 and a half years in the late 80's, early 90's. We did a lot of traveling in the UK and on the continent. Chaz and I also managed to get to Jakarta, Indonesia on a "look see" trip prior to a possible transfer there. As interesting as it was, we chose not to move there. We now have a second home (our retirement home) in the southern mountains of New Mexico. We love traveling there almost every month.
Anything by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I was also a big fan of the Temptations and other Motown groups. Groovin' still makes me think of high school.
Flying and reading about flying pretty much occupies my free time lately. When not doing that, I love to travel, read, shop for antiques and visit with friends. Unfortunately I also have hobby-ADD. In the past 20 years I have quilted, photographed, scrapbooked, and made cards, and consequently, have become a fabricaholic, paperaholic, scrapbookaholic. If and when I ever stop work and we finally move to NM...I may finish some of my projects.
I am looking forward to reuniting with old friends and perhaps making some new ones.

Donald Camp and his little book "The Elements of Style". I still have my official PROPERTY OF CENTRAL DISTRICT No. 650045 issued copy. (Was I supposed to give it back at the end of the school year?). Anyway, I would not have passed college english had it not been for Mr. Camp.
When I wore my game jersery for the Stikers, each Sunday morning in the makule soccer league. Team colors were the same Orange and Black. Second when I open the the annual christmas letters from Dixon and Cathy Sherman - keep em coming.
When we got to be the Seniors. I thought then, and still do, that we were a great class. Second is the Youth Center aka "The Pit" especially on a Saturday afternoon after a home football game victory.
I'm kind of a quiet guy, so nothing to make mention of
I used Rogaine for two years and it didn't work, but I still have all my teeth!
Seven Sacred Falls on Maui
This is a tough one we had some much to choose from, but the one's that stand out were: Johnny Rivers Wiskey A Go Go especially "Memphis"; The Hollies "Bus Stop"; Yardbirds "For Your Love"; Little Eva's Loco-Motion (tip: teach that one to the grandchildren), and Roy Orbiison's "Oh Pretty Woman"
Over the last 25 years, I've done a lot of volunteer work alzheimer patients and more recently with the youth group at my church. Over past five years I've gotten back into bicycling for relaxation and exercise.
Not really
My thanks to all of you who are putting this all together. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Helen Hobbie - Math. She was a good teacher and a good friend. A sense of humor is a real asset. Marcie Stafford - PE. Tough love! Very fair and very enthusiastic
Our GAA girls were the best. We had so much fun together. I miss Donna Benedict. She died several years ago from cancer. She was so nice to everyone, and a great friend.
I'm sure I am the only one in the class who is an AI (artificial insemination) technician. For cattle, not people. One of my bulls sold for $6000.
We can't get away to travel much,but we spent time in Florida when my parents lived there, and have been to Mexico and England.
In the Midnight Hour - so glad to hear that the Misfits are back together for us!! But where is Rick?
What free time? This apparently is a job and a "lifestyle". There is always something to do, but we are outdoors and together in a great place. If we happen to get a break we go canoeing. Horseback riding is usually work.
We have a cabin in the mountains and an apartment behind our house, so we are well set up for visitors. Ask Maggie - she has been here three times!

Nick Bandarchi is 19 and a computer sciences student at UW Milwaukee and Tim Bandarchi is 16 and a student at Wauwatosa East High School (and an artist, like me).
I'm an art therapist/psychotherapist working through an outpatient mental health clinic. I also work part time at a private psychiatric hospital.
My favorite teacher was Mrs. Jerry because she let Terry Stephany and me pass notes and drawings openly in class as long as she could see them afterwards - and not because she was checking up on us, but because she enjoyed what were writing and drawing, too. I learned a lot from Mrs. Adler, who also encouraged our creativity. Mr. Spelich was much appreciated for letting the class artists hang out in the art room when we had nothing else to do.
Having high school aged kids provides constant reminders. Music always takes me back.
Most of my memories have to do with artistic endeavors of one kind or another - working on the yearbook, working on the Thinking Reed, doing arttwork for the Mikado. Others have to do with outside activities like seeing Dylan at a gym at RPI just after he went electric or the Stones at the Palace when Brian Jones was still part of the band. I know I went to see Dylan with Carole Heron and I think we went together to the Stones concert, too.
I've had several articles published as well as a chapter in a book on art therapy in a prison setting. I've served on or presided over boards of directors for a number of professional and advocacy organizations. My biggest contribution to my profession was oversight of the development of a national credentialing process for art therapists. I served as president of a newly formed credentialing board during the creation of a certification process. The end result was a test and a credential that have helped art therapists achieve licensure in many states including New York. I've been thinking about putting my writing talents to work creating Wikipedia entries, but all the topics that I know anything about have been taken so my new plan is to make additions to existing articles.
These are things that actually surprise me, so I'm sure they would surprise other people as well. I'm surprised that I became a therapist. I thought of myself as the solitary artist type in high school, but I guess I was really a people person underneath it all. I got a master's degree in art therapy after discovering that I enjoyed working with developmentally disabled adults. I've branched out, since then, and now work mostly with people with psychiatric disabilities. I've loved it all. There has never been a dull moment. My only regret is that my work coupled with family responsiblities leaves me little time or energy for my own art. I guess I'll have to take up where I left off when I'm finally ready to wind down. I'm surprised that I ended up in Wisconsin. It's a great place to live and to raise kids, but I wouldn't have predicted 40 years ago that I would end up in the land of beer, motorcycles, and cheese. I lived in L.A. when the last reunion rolled around - I might have envisioned California, but not Wisconsin. Finally, I was (and still am) surprised that I spent 4 1/2 years walking through the gates of Attica Correctional Facility five days a week. It was a transformational experience and one that I will never regret, but I could not have seen it coming.
I lived in Finland twice - once in 1960 and again in 1972. I visited Greece during the second trip, spending a week on Crete and a week in Athens. I think that Crete would have to be on the top of my list of interesting places I've visited. I danced all night, visited ancient ruins by day, and was exhausted by the time I hit Athens ( but I was traveling with a bunch of Finnish girls who had Athenian boyfriends so we had a fine time in Athens as well). My favorite places to visit are the family cottage in Maine and San Diego, where my brother, Peter, lives.
Anything from Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, The Four Tops, or Otis Redding would be great. I also liked Hendrix, Cream, the Doors, the Beatles, Dylan. I was surprised to see another Fugs fan here. I'd be impressed if the DJ could find a copy of Ah! Sunflower or Supergirl for the two of us who grooved to the Fugs. My favorite band of the 60's was Velvet Underground, but their music might be a little grim to play at a high school reunion. If I can think of a cheery VU tune, I'll pass it along.
I really like doing nothing. Watching a movie would be my next favorite way to fill time not already dedicated to something else (paperwork, usually - psychotherapy and prodigious amounts of paperwork tend to go hand-in-hand). I'll watch just about anything and have seen a lot of movies in the past 40 years. Taking a bus downtown with various high school friends for Saturday matinees is another memory that I associate with that time in my life.
None
I look forward to seeing everyone. I missed all the other reunions, often because of last minute complications (like being stuck in Vermont with bad case of strep in 1977). I already have my plane tickets, though, so I'll be at this one for sure.

RETIRED!
Way too long ago to remember - except Mrs White - French teacher.
Two types of awards - tennis awards including last week winning Eastern Sectionals (woman's seniors team) - so my team is going to Nationals in October for the second year in a row. Besides tennis, I used to run a fair amount and won many local trophies and my best one is for an age group (over 30) trophy for a marathon. Also I cherish the award that I won in Aruba (I think I was the only local runner entered and there was alot of talk wondering who I was!)
I am sure that I, like most classmates, have changed drastically since high school days.
I am not sure about the interesting part but my favorite vacation destinations are Palm Springs, California and Aruba.
Playing tennis; staying in touch with friends
I wish it wasn't the first weekend of October - I am visiting a girlfriend in VaBeach (and I am also bypassing playing in another tennis tournament and also going to Wash DC to watch my brother run a 10K invitational Race. I haven't seen him in several years since he is stationed in Korea presently).
Maybe in another 5 years - if I am in town!

Formerly a publisher of large print books, and then Copyright Manager for Harvard University Press, I retired in 1993.
Mr. Symula because he was funny and with his help I managed to pass the Geometry Regents exam on the second go-round; Mrs. Jerry because she inspired me to finally speak up in class; Mrs. Eddington because she was Mrs. Eddington; Kimball Howes because he called me "Liz;" and Mr. DeCecco because he embodies the feeling of home that I get when I think of BCHS.
I get tongue-tied or have a bout of insecurity!

Modest awards and modest creations; I am proud of acting as the volunteer publisher for the Providence Athenaeum's history for the 250th Anniversary of its founding -- a spectacular 253-page social history, lavishly illustrated, written by Jane Lancaster and designed by Malcolm Greer: a true labor of love by all involved. And I am extremely proud of becoming a solo sailor in my 50's!

We were a lucky group to have the sliver of time that we occupied. I hadn't seen anything quite like the energy of '64-'71 until the turn of the century. We live in interesting times! I hope to see many of you on Friday night, please come on Friday night if you can! Saturday we're back in Rhode Island for a Bat Mitzvah. Love and blessings to you all.

Miss Hobbie- She was an outstanding teacher. I had her for math in 10th and 11th grades. I struggled with Trig. and she was so helpful and patient. Mr. Webster- I loved his smile and his wit. His class was so interesting.
I write because BCHS had high standards. It didn't matter what the subject was, points were deducted for spelling errors or incomplete or run on sentences. I hope I haven't made any errors in this write up!
Senior Play- "Lil' Abner"
I've created a number of departments and programs in my career including starting up and managing an assisted living facility and an adult day health center. A year ago, I scaled back my responsibilities but all the projects I started are up and running successfully. My husband, Lew, died suddenly in 2004 after 34 years of marriage. I'm proud of how I handled the loss and all the changes in my life.
love to sing and whistle.
England and France My favorite place to travel- Banner Elk, NC. I try to go there every summer.

Mr Robinson for physics because he talked about things other than physics - interesting guy.
I was helping my son get through high school.
I have blocked out those memories. I was also very shy.
I have several articles in Health Economics Journals blah, blah, blah.... But what I am most proud of is raising my son as a single parent. If I can brag a little, he just graduated from Dartmouth College in engineering and is continuing in graduate school there. He is also captain of the cycling team.
I have a doctorate in economics from SUNY Albany. I taught for a while at UMass Lowell. I out-lived one husband and now I'm working on the second one!
Naxos Island, Greece; Brugge, Belgium; Santa Margherita, Italy; Antibes, France; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Berlin, Germany.
Anything by the Beach Boys (I spent part of high school in Santa Monica, CA).
Traveling and planning trips with my hubby; or doing yoga.

can't remember any of them without opening up the old year book, but I can't remember where that is either!
fall comes around. We had athletic class , and football was our middle name. When I see the Friday night lights, smell the hot dogs, and hear the roar of the crowd that takes me back . I still don't know anything about the game, but hanging out with all your friends made it the place to be on a Friday night. Who could forget the PEP RALLIES, the cheerleaders and football players how cool, it's a wonder there wasn't a major meltdown with all that polyester knit, and burning cinders.
are the people. The one thing bad about a high school as big as BC, is knowing you spent 4 years with alot of people that you never got to know.
sew 18th century clothing, I have made uniforms for Fort Ticonderoga, Fort William Henry, Rogers Island , and many historical units in NY, NH,VT. When you live in the most historical site in NY,the love of history comes alive even to those who were not the best students in that subject. Our family joke has always been ...When will the antique shop be featured on ANTIQUES ROAD SHOW? Well, we were, and the joke is DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE SHOW. They missed the mark on everything the age,maker,and most of all the value . I had my 4th child-michael when I was 40, my first grandchild when I was 41,and my 5th child-Patrick when I was 42.You might be surprized to know that I think my 18 and 16 year old children are keeping me young. I DO NOT PLAY GOLF, maybe I will someday. My 4 sisters and my brother still live in the area,and my mother in the same house at 185 Adams St. My brother is the head of Buildings and grounds at the BC Middle School, and my baby sister Lisa, also works for the school printing up every copy that BC uses.
Every time my children would move, I would cry. My husband the guidance counselor would declare a new quality desination. I have 3 children to my first husband David Busick Sr. class of 1962. Ami, and her husband Gabriele, live in Quebec City,Canada. They have 3 children Philip-16, Emily and Hannah-13. Anna and her husband Randy,live in Wilmington,OH. They have Sarah, who will be one September 25. 2007. David, has one son David III-10. My grandson attends Bethlehem Central, and lives with his mom. My son David lives in Hague on Lake George and is a boat builder.
Any of the ones that drive my kids crazy. I realy like the ones they remake, my sons think I'm cool when I know the words.
with my husband, Craig and our 2 sons, Mike and Pat. Mike and Pat are both advid runners. They are both on the varsity cross-country, indoor track and out-door track teams . They both attend Ticonderoga Central High School. My husband retirerd from Bolton Central School after 37 Years in the guidance dept. We travel to all their meets and have only missed one in 6 years.
Please all stay healthy so I can join at the next one! Love to you all.
PARTY LIKE IT'S 1967! and we could all drink at 18. If any of you travel north on RT9-N, north of Bolton Landing and the town of Hague about 3 miles you will see a big red barn, that's LONERGAN'S ANTIQUES. Stop and see me (and Craig,who would be happy to meet anyone who knew me when a size 10 slide off my body...oh the good old days)

2-- Dave (28), Carrie (25)--hopefully Doug and I agree on this
retired from teaching AP English (so my favorite teacher won't come as a surprise)
Mrs. Adler, Mrs. York, Mr. Turner. They were all passionate about their subject matter and cared about kids. They believed in our ability to learn and passed along their enthusiasm for learning.
Every day when I stepped into the classroom for 30 years. I love retirement but miss being surrounded by 17 year olds. High school was better the second time around.
Hmm--gotta say the musicals, especially L'il Abner when the cast expanded from the drama geeks to the whole class. It was the first time when I felt that we were cohorts instead of cliques.
It will seem unoriginal, but I am incredibly proud of my kids. I am also proud of creating/sharing a 36 year marriage with Doug. As to the career, yes, there were some awards, but nothing that would mean much to all of you--although I did enjoy being part of an Annenberg television series on teaching.
go on extended hiking and backpacking trips with Doug. Remembering my prowess in Phys Ed it might seem odd that I would enjoy anything physical like hiking--but I can manage to put one foot in front of the other so we go to some pretty remarkable places.
The list could be huge-- so I'll only name three. 1) Paria Canyon. I loved backpacking down the river (and in the river) through this slot canyon in Utah/Arizona. 2) Switzerland--backpacking across the country, stopping at various b&bs, hotels, alpine huts. They really do listen to yodelling on the radio. 3) Thailand. I have an interest in Buddhism, so the wats of Bangkok were moving to me. Doug thought that Thailand defined "interesting" for a different, moving, reason, so I doubt that it made his list.
The DJ won't have any of my favorites from the 60's. I was into folk music. Ian and Sylvia, Judy Collins, Joan Baez and later, Joni Mitchell.
Hiking, singing, drawing, reading
Doug and I completed the survey independently. We haven't seen one another's responses. Since he often recalls high school moments that escaped me, and therefore sometimes asks if I really was a part of the class of '67, we may have cause for discussion once we see the updated surveys.

Classmates I hope to be seeing soon, Mrs. Adler, baseball, and German class.
still play baseball. I join my Washington D.C. baseball buddies for a couple of tournaments every year.
Sharon and I started backpacking during our college days and have been at it ever since, mostly in the western U.S. We just returned from almost ten weeks in Nevada, Oregon, and California.
Hiking, golf, nature photography, and just about anything baseball-related.

Coach Nylis, for his tenacity and his passion for an unpopular sport.
I hear any of a handful of old songs, mostly from the winter and spring of 67.
Probably not strictly high school memories; but the summer days at Joe Killough's camp at Thompson's Lake.
My classmates might be surprised to know that I was awarded a Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1986, but when they found out that I never did, they would be surprised they had even considered it possible for a second.

If you are on the fence, considering whether you would enjoy the reunion enough to spend a weekend in Delmar; please give it a try. I honestly didn't care that much for high school time, but reunions are MUCH better than high school. I think we all are more comfortable with ourselves, and I think you will be surprised that most everyone there will share the same spirit of goodwill for all of us who did our time together and survived to talk about it...

2 daughters, Jennifer, 25 and Bridget, 20
semi-retired but work with two churches and play and sing as often as I can
Mr Turner: Great mentor and friend Mr Brooks: Just a fine person and good teacher Mr Karp: Same as above
I sub, which I do occasionally in schools nearby.
The people, dances (proms), plays, and the occasional class
I've written lots of songs, some of which I still sing, gotten some awards that are too obscure to mention, and met and learned from some really amazing people. I'm active in Fremasonry, and have been honored to have held some leadership positions, and I'm a fairly useful member of a local target shooting team. I'm probably proudest of my kids.
Am raising grass-fed beef, and next year will have poultry as well, all organically range-raised. It's small-scale, but I love it, and it's really a great healthy alternative to the store stuff, and even tastes a lot better. Grass-fed beef has a better omega 3 to omega 6 ratio than salmon, so this is a health project that coincides with people's rising awareness of the importance of eating the right foods. Also, maybe the fact that over the years I've taught classes in things as diverse as meditation and handicapping. That I practice qigong. That I went back to school in 2002 to get another Masters so I could teach Social Studies (no job ever materialized, unfortunately) because I enjoyed subbing so much.
For history, Britain and the Middle East. For interesting learning experiences, Texas and the southwest. And for several important reasons, the inward travels have probably been the most interesting.
Born to be Wild, Sunny, wow, who can remember them all?
Wine on the back porch, playing music with or without someone else while the Webber gets hot enough to grill supper.

Mrs. Alden (12th grade English I think). I remember one class she played the song "Sounds of Silence" and had us discuss the lyrics for the entire period. I thought wow, school can actually be cool ! She was a "thinking reed" or something.
I eat red licorice.
Playing with the band "The Madras" after basketball games, Wednesday nights during the summer behind the junior high, and those gigs down in the PIT (and I don't mean Strelow's). Those were great great fun.
Well I've recorded five albums (3 vinyl, 2 CD) , and composed all the music for an off-broadway show directed by Tony award winning director Geraldine Fitzgerald, but I guess my son ranks #1 for creations
When I was doing gigs in Switzerland I got interested in nice time pieces. Started collecting clocks and apprenticed with a master here in N.Y. to learn something about my clocks, and now ( I'm more surprised than anyone) I have my own clock store in Hudson N.Y. and restore clocks at the F.D.R. mansion.

I filled out all this and the computer lost it. Not sure I can be so detailed a second time. Well, Mrs. Adler. Fabulous teacher, smart and funny, taught me more than most college teachers.
I see Terry (Stephany Royne), Thoreau, try French again.
Friends friends, neat people and friends. Breaking into the library at night. Controversy over the student bulletin board-- beginning of anti-war sentiments expressed. Gym! to my great surprise-- I was sure I was a total klutz and the teachers agreed, but now it seems like a privilege. I liked Thursdays. Other people's creativity. The Thinking Reed. Despite being someone that Mrs. York thought was part of the evil empire, I loved chorus and the Mikado.
I'm working hard on my poetry. I'm writing this from Vermont, where I have a one month poetry residency. I've only gone back to poetry in the last three or four years and I'm trying to make up for lost time. I survived medical training, and I guess some great human unhappiness, including for a time, my own. I'm relieved that I'm pretty happy now and have a number of people in my life I love.
like bad TV. Sing at the top of my lungs when no one is around.
I lived in London for a year when I was 8, and London is great, but not sure that counts. Not much of a traveler. I remember hitchhiking in California (In 1970).
Gaye, Temptations, Pickett, Redding, Supremes, Dylan, Beatles.
Friends, writing, reading, yoga, bike, sleeping. Watching bad TV. Seeing family-- closest to brothers and sisters.
Chance to hear/see people's singing, playing, drawing, writing, bad jokes, stories.
Don't have to be a Republican! Hmmph. How are we going to get out of this mess? How do you all tread a reasonable life in a crazy world?

"....I had the time of my life..." in HS. It was a wonderful and postive experience for me,,,,fond memories : dear friends, great teachers, dances, canteen council, Rho, Sundays at the toll gate, football/basketball games, bonfires, hockey practice, the red corvette in the parking lot.
Since I haven't had the opportunity to attend any of the reunions so far.. (tsk, tsk), you may be interested to know that I will be at this one. Wonders never cease! ;O) I'm living 50/50% in Germany/Turkey depending on the time of year, the weather and my mood.

Betty Crummey, Joycelyn Jerry, Gordon Molyneaux for teaching outside the box; Dave Symula for teaching outside the isosceles triangle; Don Farrell: a basketball coach WAY ahead of his time!
our son was in HS; my work takes me into schools that are in session; I listen to that great music
Meeting Madge! (oh yeah, sorry, that was in Middle School, no, wait, Elementary School!!!); my parents sharing in all (well maybe not ALL) of the experiences - they still reminisce fondly about those years; friendships that have lasted more than 4 decades!; Clarissa Smith telling me I probably shouldn't go to college (my Kuder Preference results had indicated that I should be a farmer or forest ranger - oh really? yours said the same thing??? Maybe I should have listened! Dixon was the only one who did and look how happy he is!) ; Madge and I both getting 86 on the Spanish Regents and Mrs Catalano accusing us of cheating...(c'mon El Gato, we were on opposite sides of the gym!!); scaling 375' ladders to decorate the gym for proms (where were the liability lawyers then??!!) ; thinking we were being so creatively manipulative of the system by getting out of study hall to shoot foul shots on basketball game days!! All of those great trips UP to the Thompsons Lake Hotel and UP to Lake George - notice I didn't say I remembered coming BACK!! How lucky and stupid were we! (not necessarily in that order!); ah yes, the Senior Class Dinner, specifically the Class Prophecy (Madge is still angry that her class, 1968, couldn't have one because Charley Redmond and John Pell led me down the dark alley of irreverence!!!).... gee didn't think I would come up with a lot.. looking forward to sharing more at the reunion...
Evan voted me "Best Dad" once! (yeah, ONCE!); no songs, no books; a couple of "articles" that I guarantee are of NO general interest and have very little redeeming social/professional value. I did, however, stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently.
don't have a crew cut anymore (but I may again soon!!!); am pretty involved in community theater; I ran the gift shop on the Minne-Ha-Ha for the last two summers! am a non-Catholic President of the Saratoga-Warren-Washington Board of Catholic Charities
Africa; British Isles; Brooklyn; man you can't beat Montreal though!
too many great choices..
trying to think of ways NOT to have too much free time! I live way too close to the Parting Glass!
Thanks Committee for doing all the work.. should be a lot of fun! and a real thank you for getting the band guys to play for us again! much better choice than getting the basketball team back together to showcase THEIR current skills!

travelling
I am currently (August 13) in NYC preparing to fly back to France after a great vacation. I'll try to fill in the rest of the blanks sometime soon, but without high speed internet access at my home computer, it may not be easy. I hope to bring some of my home-made wine to the reunion.

Madame Whiteman was one. Still is a friend. Partly, I just loved French and French class. But MW was and still is a fun person who cares about people.
After college, I trained in meditation instruction. In 1994 I designed a method of teaching that is culturally neutral, (non-religious) and five years later I wrote a course in how to meditate that people could take on their own and put up a website www.natural-meditation.org. A couple of years ago, I made a CD version of the instruction and recently completed a book, "A Course in Meditation" which I am publishing.
I enjoy doing pretty much anything with my wife and daughter. Whether at work or otherwise, I like to participate in creating something new: write, think, draw and paint, music. Last month I acted in a community theater play, British WWII farce, "See How They Run."
Let's each find a few old friends and start communicating. Let the reunion be more than the event.

Many thanks to the tireless efforts of the committee to make this happen. I'm in NYC most of the time...not that far from Delmar. Would love to see some of you if you get to the Big Apple. Jenny

Mr. Symula, Mr. Stagnitta, Mrs. Facchetti....they brought humor into the classroom!!!!!!!
I visit family in Delmar and drive by Bethlehem Schools.
I don't have one outstanding memory but many small ones involving lots of laughs and (what I thought at the time)..... very important conversations during study halls, homeroom, classes and sorority meetings.
I'm humbled by this question. I've been married for 36 years, taught special needs kids for 35 and raised a lovely son but I can't remember winning any awards and I know that I haven't written any books.
I'm going to be reviewing my 67 yearbook often before our 40th reunion. I plan to gather notes and messages that my fellow graduates wrote back in 67 and then I'll try to remember it for the reunion.
Maui
Beatles and Motown.
The usual: travel, reading, movies and socializing.......could win that coveted award.....couch potato if it were a healthy way to go!!!!!
Try to keep it simple and casual. Thanks to the reunion committee for all their efforts.
Here's to the next 40!!!!!!!! Hopefully, I'll have time to win an award before the 50th reunion.

• The band concerts we put on ... also, getting 6A ratings in state competitions • L'il Abner was good, too ... being onstage for that last performance curtain call, getting the standing O from the packed house, half the girls in the cast crying onstage, felt great, will always remember it • The Black Hand Strikes! as in the Library Break-in: probably the first of many protest actions for some of us • And the Senior Banquet: Bruce, Pell and I enjoyed putting it on; hope you all did, too
have written several articles on small business published in various magazines, including the Chimney Sweep News (reprints available at <http://www.ocsa.com/html/snews.html>). I guess creating my own business and keeping it afloat for the past 17 years is not so bad.
continue to compete in road and off-road triathlons around the country. Ran with the bulls in Pamplona in '04.
Physically, it would have to be Patagonia, specifically the Torres del Paine; trekked there in spring '07. Truly spectacular mountains & lakes, like another planet, or maybe this one millions of years before our species arrived. In terms of people: Nigeria ... people there don't seem to have the layers of cloaking on them we've developed growing up in a modern society. When they speak, it's very direct and from the heart, nothing hidden.
The Fugs
mountain biking, down a tough trail with plenty of babyheads & switchbacks; or hammering a long stretch of highway on my road bike; then maybe a barbecue & a few brewski's w/some buds ((the friends, not the beer)
Add something low-key for Friday eve, like the 30th maybe, at the VFW or wherever it was. those of us traveling will probably be coming in for the weekend.
Hope to see a bunch of you soon! And has anyone ever run across Sallee Pearce? Always found her a breath of fresh air and yes, she was the first girl I ever kissed. Last I heard of her was during her freshman year at Berkeley. Since then .... whothehell knows ...

Mrs. Jerry because she was smart, open, and allowed (encouraged) Nancy Hall to draw pictures and write me notes in class. And because she told us that it was more important to be popular with ourselves and our friends than with the "popular" crowd--they may not be happy either. Mrs. Adler because she taught us how to read and write and to understand tragedy and comedy. And she worked harder than we did. Mrs. Crummy because she laughed so much. And she let me do my source theme on Bob Dylan. Mr. Symula because he could actually teach me math (even though I couldn't always learn it. He was just a good guy who didn't seem to have much agenda other than teaching us math. Mr. Edsall for being funny and making chemistry funny and fun. "Do this for your own amazement." And when someone came to class newly blonde, he called on her by saying, "Yes, Miss Clairol?" He had twinkly eyes that were just fun and hopefully didn't offend.
I drive out past Cherry Ave. heading west. It looks a little like the same place...
Being in The Mikado Starting "The Thinking Reed" and the spaghetti dinners both Jr. and Sr. year The Choraliers concert in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception How nice people were to me when Fern moved and I was missing her. Really nice. In math class or some other class where I didn't think anybody knew what good friends we were. (Like you could miss it) That carnival or whatever it was when someone took the picture of me and Karen Miller and Sharon Walworth trying to win something with Ted Phelps smiling on our efforts in his self possessed cool way. The Art Kids: Getting notes with amazing cartoon drawings of such things as muckrakers and yellow journalism and "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago" from Nancy Hall in social studies class. And Peter Guest's warthog drawings. And getting to know Frank again having not seen him since elementary school. Loving the trio of Anne Winn, Carole Stone and Cheryl Darrone and wishing I could sing like that. Becoming friends with Karen. When Joanne forgave me for Billy (tho I still feel bad)
Wrote a letter to Ann Landers upbraiding her for scolding an adopted woman for wanting to meet her birth mother. She didn't print it, but thanked me for my "good letter" Damn straight. Have written one good and quite a few okay poems. Not yet ready for prime time (haven't submitted any--stay tuned for the 50th reunion report)
Teach an advanced practice class on grief and loss to SUNY MSW students. That I can get up in front of a class and teach anything. It surprises me, anyway. Sometimes sing a Warren Zevon song at the end of the class. Converted to Judaism. Rode a horse around two of the great pyramids all the time yelling to the guy who sold me the chance to ride (he was sometimes nearby tearing about on his own horse. Both horses were galloping) that I don't really know how to ride and can we please get back to the group now? What if they leave without me? Have a ridiculous memory for birthdays and know quite a bit about astrology even though I maintain what I consider to be a healthy skepticism about the subject. It is another way to understand people which is what I am probably best at and certainly most interested in.
Greece, Israel, Egypt, China. Gibraltar and Tangiers. (You had to go to Tangiers to get to Gibraltar in 1970) Was surprised while awaiting bus to take me to the plane to Gibraltar by a voice behind me--this was Africa--"Miss Stephany, I presume?" It was a guy from my college named Tom who had decided to visit the same British friend I had decided to visit. He looked like Jim Morrison only bigger and with more facial hair. Neither of us was arrested or even strip-searched. I was very grateful.) Culebra, a little island off Puerto Rico Israel again just this year (two weeks this time)
"Girl From the North Country" "Subterranean Homesick Blues " "My Girl" "Brown Eyed Girl" "She's so Fine" "Peggy Sue" "Son of a Preacher Man" OK, almost anything by the Beatles, Bob Dylan, from Motown, by the Four Seasons, by Little Anthony and the Imperials, by Johnny Cash, the Four Tops, Buddy Holly, "Papa was a Rolling Stone" "Chantilly Lace" "Hey Jude" It's too much. I love it all except Neil Diamond and Wayne Newton. Really, almost all of it.
Free time? I like to talk and eat with other people. In social work school, we read that Jews like to talk and eat and I knew it was the right thing to have converted though it is hard to convert to something like Italian or Irish and it has evolved that I'm not very good at the organized religion aspect of Judaism over the long haul; I like the holidays. I like to read, swim, sing, and travel. I like novels and poetry best.
Could we have a forum for an open mike kind of thing? --I think we are already doing that on Friday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Mrs. Adler- she developed what ever little ability I have to write and appreciate literature.

Daughter, Molly, 21 years old - Senior Art Major at University of Vermont
Retired teacher of 34 years - currently at Delmar Place, an Assisted Living Facility
My favorite teachers were Mrs. York, whose passion for music has influenced me to this day. Because of her, I took a sabbatical from my teaching job to write a Classical Music curriculum for elementary age students. I loved Mrs. Pock because of her dynamic personality and strong opinions, Mr. Robinson, because he was adorable and funny (even though I was terrible in Chemistry) and he called me "Chatty Cathy", and Miss Hobbie, because she was a wonderful teacher, funny, and her quote in the yearbook was one I used with my own students - "He who thinks by the inch and talks by the yard should be kicked by the foot".
...we plan another reunion.
The senior play, "L'il Abner", is definitely up there, especially when we Dogpatch wives belted out our song "Put 'Em Back", and Mike Otis asked me if I ate bricks for lunch when he had to lift me in the air. Also, going to the Senior Prom with my boyfriend, Dick Coughtry, and my best friend, Cindy Boutelle and her date, Gordon Babington. Even though my family was going through a hard time financially, my parents made sure I had a beautiful dress and my hair done. THe whole night was magical, as corny as that may sound.
My whole life was spent in the classroom, almost exclusively third grade, as my third grade teacher, Grace Franze, was my idol. I did not win any awards for this, but feel enriched and privileged beyond words to have been a part of so many young lives. In the Elsmere School Handbook I wrote the Mission Statement, and the Pride Poem on which our school philosophy is based. I also wrote the school song many years ago, which is sung at every assembly and special occasion. And as I mentioned before, I wrote a Classical Music Curriculum for children. It is my belief that children need more exposure to the arts, especially poetry and classical music, while they are young.
was considered by my students to be funny - I mean really funny. When asked what they liked best about Mrs. Schaefer, almost universally they would say, "She's funny." And I am! Even at my new part-time job as a server (yes, a server!) at Delmar Place, the residents call me the silly one. I know my classmates think of me as shy, but age has changed me. I love to meet people and learn about their lives and what got them to where they are now.
I've not been many places due to lack of funds and a spouse who hates airplanes and boats. My daughter graduated a semester early from BCHS and spent the next six months volunteering in Costa Rica teaching English to Kindergarteners so we took a weeklong trip to visit her. I've been to Mexico, the Bahamas, and California as well, and that's about it. My DREAM is to go to Italy and Greece. (My daughter just returned from three weeks in Greece studying art -what a life!) When I'm 60 I'm going! ANyone want to go with me?
"Magic Town" by the Vogues I really don't know - it's definitely NOT my favorite decade or style of music.
How can I make this sound like I'm not the most boring person in the world? I love to read and read and read - always have. I think I have a knack for interior design and love working to make my home a warm and inviting place. I love to cook. (Unfortunately I also love to eat and drink wine with my meals, hence the unappreciated weight gain). I love music and long to know someone who "swoons", as my husband calls it, when they hear something beautiful. I love to go to the movies by myself on Sunday afternoon and get a brownie and a hot chocolate and not worry about what anyone else thinks of the movie. I love to get deep inside the character and pretend I am in that person's life for the rest of the day. More than life itself, I love my family - my Dad, sister, brother, nieces, nephews, and my beautiful, precious daughter. Time spent with them is what life is all about.
I'm in this world, but not of this world - meaning I don't have a working computer, a cell phone, an ipod, or any other gadgets of this generation. I like pencil and paper and the telephone. If you're out there and want to reach me, use my address or my phone number, 518 -439-2039. Hope to see you soon.

Oceanographer, now research administrator
Mr. Brooks, History, encouraging all of us to not accept all that is written, all that is the current view, and Mr. Watson, Biology, for turning me on with his enthusiasm for the discipline I've pursued
I get together with my high school friends Dixon Sherman and Jim Simeck (and their parents), John and Karen Pelletier, and occasionally Ken Dumas, the O'Connell's, Al McNair. Oddly, Delmar memories flood back when I contrast what my daughters and thier friends do with what we did: I am amazed (and pleased) they have not (at least that we know) treated cars, pubs, driving (fast), AM arrivals home as we did (and thankfully they have never asked).
The great comraderie and friendships with the folks above, continuing today at 2-3 year intervals. Way back, there were so many nights first walking, hitching from the Toll House to Elsmere and back, rendez-vous' in the graveyard with refreshments, then later summer evenings after several hour soccer or basketball games, sampling in and driving to/from the pubs, taverns in Glenmont and Albany with those same guys.
using Frank Morgan's reply strategy: yes, no, acted as an editor several times, yes. Most proud that my daughters don't accept the 'norm', won't accept the 'status quo' and I hope that I aided in that developed trait...
love impressionists, great guitarists and unrelated, wonder what happened to Mark Haskins, Ronnie Garinger, Pat McSweeney (year behind us)?
China, Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Costa Rica, most of Europe, the Canadian Maritimes: conclusion is that people are great everywhere
any from C,S,N&Y, Neil Young, Kinks (not great dancing music but great songs); Wilson Picket's 'Midnite Hour'
We just purchased a second home for eventual retirement in an historic MD city, Frederick, and my wife and I and dogs can stroll to live music, restaurants, pubs, wine bars, galleries, antique shops through a tree-covered main street with restored 1700-1900 brick homes and businesses (those above + tatoo parlors, bong shops, bric-a-brac mom & pop shops,mineral stores, etc.), meeting an eclectic mix of students (Hood College), ethnic groups, ages, and locals with an open friendliness about the old city and its activities. The town is committed to summer-long live music in a large park as well as live music along a restored stream through town, with community involvement in maintining the stream and its historic district for all to use. There's live theatre and art shows, a microbrewery, winery, and just lots of options for relaxing with interesting people.
Thanks to the Organizing Committee for doing this; just thinking about the reunion brings back so many good memories.

Good times. Great music. haven't danced that much in years. Is anyone else sore? Thanks to the committee for all their work. I wasn't on the committee but thanks for all your appreciation anyway. I was in Delmar and went to the meeting with Cheryl so I got in the picture.
It was great to see everyone, especially those I don't see all the time. Thanks to all of you who spoke to me about John. The memorium made me cry but respect and recognition was due to all of "our own" who have passed before us. Be well. Keep in touch.

Mrs. York, Mrs. Blackmore, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Crummy. Magdelene York set me up for a lifetime of choral singing which I still do, Mr. Turner the same for Drama (did Music Man 3 years ago), and Mrs. Crummy was my favorite in 11th grade. Mrs. Blackmore was hard and harder for Senior English, and I hated her, and then got a degree in English four years later thanks to her...
I think about a trip up to New England (soon)
Choir and Drama, I suppose, and conducting the singing at our graduation ceremony.
Texas History author, five books including children\'s historical novels, and a few books still to come. Research and writing my real joys of this career along with the college classroom. I speak across Texas to historical socities and book groups, lots of fun.

Mr. Pierson - He really cared.
When I look at old photos and once in a while I get out our year book and play remember when (like when my daughter was in high school and one of her teachers went to school at BCHS when I did.
hum......
I make up my own words to all the songs, and my husband says I should sing only in the shower and keep my day job....and I am quite the painter - paint anything and everything--the more colors the better.
I don't think that any of my classmates even remember me and would probably not be surprised by anything
Every place is interesting but my favorite place is Germany and next in line would be Montana.
I am old enough to get all the years mixed up!
Painting, reading and walking on a beach.

Dominick D I learned a lot from him in terms of how to study
I hear the music we danced and drank to, in those adirondack bars. What a worry free time.
Playing football under coach Ritchko. Trips to Lake George. Good times on the beaches and in the campgrounds. Great classmates that got me through a rough time in 65/66.
All writings are technical and would be rather boring to the general public. My great creations are in fish taxidermy and I'm still on the steep slope of the learning curve.
Make my own maple syrup in the spring and do most of the cooking.
Sweden-I loved the fishing in the northern interior. Australia- I loved the people in the rural farming area. It and New Zealand are the only other countries in the world I would consider calling home.
Louie Louie, early rolling stones(Satisfaction etc.), Gloria, Paul Butterfield stuff(Born in Chicago, east west), Paul Revere
Fishing, fishing, fishing. I fish walleye and musky tournaments and I got my charter captain license in 2006 so I do some chartering for walleye and salmon on the great lakes. My wife has accepted the fact that this is an uncurable addiction and she babbysits my laboradors while I'm gone.
Thank you all for the support and caring that you gave me after my football injury. I still have the signed team ball mounted in my office and the cards I received while in the hospital. I was never able to express my appreciation for all that affection and concern. I hope you all have a great reunion and a great life. I get up every morning and thank God that I can enjoy another day in this great country, and I owe it all to people that have sacrificed so much for me. May I be able to return some of the blessings to others. I hope to see you all at the next one, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

I was fairly unfocused in High School, but now I appreciate the great friends and education. There were an amazing amount of talent in our class.
I am very lucky to have made a living with my passion for art. I started with freelance cartooning and illustration, technical illustration for GE, wrote and illustrated over 45 children's coloring and activity books, and for the last 11 years have been a Graphics and Publications Manager at UNC-Chapel Hill supporting over 50 faculty, and 65 postdocs/predocs doing research in over 85 countries.

Mrs. Haywood is the first one that comes to mind - I recall her reading a newspaper article regarding the fire that started in the Delmar Fire Department and the fact that my Dad - Jesse Turner - was the first one there and how he proceeded to remove the fire trucks from the burning building - this was such a proud moment for me and even though it was way back in 7th grade, I'll always remember.
ever I drive past it.
There were a lot of good memories but the best ones were my friends.
Green Mountain Falls, Co - was there for a very short time - but maybe I'll go back
Most of the Beach Boys songs were good.
Funny, I had more free time when I worked - I actualy spend some of my "Free" winter time in Flagler Beach, FL and "Free" summer time doing projects around the house or at the camp at Raquette Lake.
I'll have to think about that
See you in October

Two: Professor and Real Estate Investor
Mr. Robinson (I still use one of his anecdotes, modified to fit the contemporary context) and Ms. Eddington (I thought speaking Latin would be useful in Latin America).
I walk into a class of college freshmen and cannot believe that I was like that shortly after leaving high school ...
Colt 45 Malt Liquor, football practice (when I was on the JV team) -- ask Kevin Shea (Class of '68), and scoring (no, not that -- keeping score during basketball and baseball games).
Awards -- various academic honors, but none that have been financially rewarding; Songs, books, articles -- nothing that anyone would care to hear or read; Creations -- hopefully, a solid reputation in both the academic and residential rental market here in Chicago.
spend a time at the Chicago Lyric Opera, Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts, Chamber Music Recitals, Musicals, etc., and very little time watching either football or baseball.
Outside of North America, I'd have to say Italy, with Florence being my first choice of locations and Lake Como second. I spent five summers teaching in southern Alberta and fell in love with Banff and Lake Louise in western Canada. Ten years ago we found the Stratford Theatre Festival (not all Shakespeare) in Ontario, and last year we found the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Here in the USA, we love to go to NYC and Philadelphia (my college haunts), but a recent trip to Santa Fe has piqued our interest.
Well, the 1760's would be Mozart's first three symphonies (1764) and the 1860's would be Verdi's La forza del destino (1862) and Don Carlos (1867). I doubt that the DJ would have any of these. In addition, I figure that you meant the 1960's. I liked the Association (Cherish), Percy Sledge (When A Man Loves A Woman), The Monkees (Last Train to Clarksville), The Lovin Spoonful (Summer in the City), The Troggs (Wild Thing), The Doors (Light My Fire), etc. There were so, so many good songs in the 1965-1967 years that I attended BCHS. Since I won't be there to hear any of these, I would like to request that "Cherish" be played with my Best Wishes to All!!
I have very little truly "free" time. What with subscriptions to all of our events, teaching and real estate, travel booked years in advance, I am constantly looking at my Blackberry and Daytimer to find out what's next.
Let's not wait until the 50th -- wouldn't a 45th be possible??
I was so looking forward to attending the 40th reunion, but didn't count on my teaching schedule getting in the way!! Have a truly wonderful time and, please, please, stay in Good Health until our next opportunity to reunite!! God Bless You and Yours! JRTwombly

Special Ed. teacher
I wish I could remember their names, but one does stand out, Mr. Brown. I liked my French teacher too, she had long thick blond hair that she wore in a loose bun, it was a fun filled class. I had Mr. Webster for home room and history, although he was't my favorite, I did learn from him.
When I see the fashions of the sixties in a movie or on TV I remember my high school days. Of course, certain songs of that era will bring me back to school dances and hoping someone would ask me to dance.
Going to the basketball games in the school gym, the team was one of the best in our league, and as a result, the gym was packed with screaming fans.
Not yet!
I lived in Florence, Italy when I was in college, and was able to travel through the country during my stay. Our daughter and her husband lived in France for three years, which enabled us to visit Paris, Versailles, Grenoble, many charming medieval towns. We also drove through Mount Blanc on our way to Lake Como, Italy for a vacation. My husband and I are hoping to go to Ireland next year. We have been to California several times, San Francisco was memorable, I would like to spend more time there, and Bermuda has been a favorite destination for us over the years.
We have three grandchildren, and any time I get to spend with them is my favorite time.
Thank you for organizing the web site and the reunion, I know how much time these things take. I wish I could have been there, but we were in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. the weekend before visiting our granddaughter, and couldn't travel back up the next weekend. I'm sure everything was fun and lively.

Mrs. York (terrific music teacher - plus great clothes, especially shoes, and very classy person); Mr Hughes (taught me to love physics); Mr. G (same for earth science, plus he was nuts); Mrs. Adler (no explanation necessary). Miss Pryle (who despite her schoolmarmish demeanor, was a great teacher and made me love Latin); Kimball Howe (who talked to me about women's lives and gave me a copy of "The Feminine Mystique" back when no one had ever heard of it); Doris Pock (whose motto, "The more you know, the more you can laugh," comes to mind every time I see a New Yorker cartoon).
I hear The Lovin' Spoonful or Motown or "Groovin' " or the Beatles' old stuff.
Traveling with the choir to competitions. Passing notes. Basketball games. The music. Romantic intrigues (and if they weren't ingriguing enough, injecting a little drama into them). Other things that shouldn't be put in writing.
Raised kids I like. Very happily married. Built a house. Started a successful company. Became one of the top programmers of voice recognition software in the country (sort of an arcane niche). That's enough for me.
do a fair amount of carpentry and masonry, and haven't ever been arrested.
Closest friend married a duke in the English aristocracy, and now lives in 350-room 13th century abbey lined with priceless art and antiquities. It's a real trip to visit her - like stepping into a movie. The maid comes into the bedroom after I leave and folds my pantyhose.
Almost anything from the sixties.
Gardening, singing, building things, figuring out how to get the computer to do what I want it to, traveling.

Jim (21) and Kevin (16)
Contract Specialist
So many fine teachers! Mrs. Blackmore's love of literature got me through Lit&Comp in college. I often thought of Frau Glatz and Herr Ziefle in German class. I had a college prof who had us translating Thomas Mann. I really needed Frau Glatz then! Mr. Herman Brown and Mr. Molyneux piqued my interest in the world outside of the US and outside of our time. Mr. Watthews made biology fascinating. Miss Sheldon was the best boss ever!
I enter my secret password. I am not allowed to give any further hints.
I remember those alarm clocks too! It's has been really interesting reading what everyone else has written and trying to remember how well I knew that person. The best part is trying to imagine where this goes from here!
Any awards and recognition have been work related so far. Ho, hum. I am really pleased that I made a very large and well known defense contractor return $2.3 million of our tax dollars when they didn't perform on their contract. In all honesty though, my children are my husband and my greatest source of pride and joy. They are totally awesome!
have only driven by BCHS a few times since we graduated. I guess the building isn't that interesting to me. That's probably because I left for college in the fall of '67 and only came back to visit my parents in Glenmont.
I haven't done much traveling. I've either had the time and no money or had the money and no time.
We all like the same stuff don't we! There are some really good covers to some of our favorite oldies by Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies.
I enjoy Saturday morning when I read the paper and drink coffee. I also like to go to the gym at 5 in the morning and watch BBC news while I walk on the treadmill. Maybe after I retire I'll develop more interesting pass times.
I am so sorry I couldn't be there.
Thank you Charlie, the committee, and Paul for bringing me back to high school in a very good way.
