We'll also use this spot to thank "Richie" for covering us with the fine art work! Page 65 May 7th, 2006 He was one of the hardest to locate but we did it with the help of our secret agent in the field Now we can remember Howard Mount as the, “Youngest Class Member” Whatever you say Howard! (Is this boy is in trouble- there are at least 45 girls here today that claim this title) Howard reports in that he has “4 sons, daughter, and grandchildren.” A Realtor and Mortgage Broker, Howard enjoys tennis and boating The youngest member…??? The kid’s a dreamer, still! Very quickly, and as if reading a Badge 714 script, here’s William H Myers reporting in after responding to our form First question: “2 daughters, granddaughter.” Second question: “Acting, golf instructor.” Third question: “Retired after 27 years in the TV and Motion Picture Industry.” And, our Bill adds, “Wonderful wife, Sandy.” Bill- We won’t tell “Little Rags” Ragone that you were just “acting”, as a “golf instructor”, when you charge him for those lessons! We certainly are glad Carol Nickelson Garrison is here The widowed Carol drove her "four-wheeler" in to tell us she has “2 children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.” Wow! Now that’s really great, Carol! Stanley Ogen writes, “Married Cynthia Silen (CHS’60) in 1963 “Two children and one incredible grandson”, he continues “Since 1975”, Stan the “President/Creative Director of Ogen Creative Services, has received over 75 national advertising and PR awards” “Passions” he reminds us, “still include summers at the shore, traveling the world, working out (not as much as I should), museums, antique shows and old fairs, designing “stuff”… and most of all spending time with our family and friends.” Sound like good “stuff” to us, Stan! Page 66 May 7th, 2006 She spoiled our day! “I will not be able to attend” writes Bena Ostroff Kallick Remember her because she is, “still fighting for a fair and equitable education for our children and grandchildren” We wish you were here Bena, so we could discuss this further! She was a hard one to track down too “Thanks for nagging us!!” writes Kay Patterson Chudnoff Remember “Katie” as “Happily married for 21 years! “3 children, grandchildren, I’m truly blessed”, she adds We’re looking forward to seeing you again too, Katie! Nag, nag, nag, that’s the kinda guy Bob G can be! It’s “Showtime!” and the audience is eagerly awaiting Anthony Piciotti to tell us to remember that, “I Kept Trying- Never Give Up.” We like these words to live by and will remember, Tony We also were hoping that you’d be able to “Save the Last Dance for us.” Take a well-deserved bow Tony, and then exit stage door right! We found Bevelyn Pitts Clark on a rainy afternoon in NC, and she was in GA “I married Douglas Clark” she writes softly “We share children, 11 grandchildren I help Douglas in the ministry and I’m also the Church Secretary”, Bevelyn continues Her hobbies include Traveling and Reading Bevelyn is also a Communications Consultant for 5linx’s “Remember me as young, beautiful and skinny (Ha! Ha!), says a haughty Virginia Player Good “Each of which, I never was and always hoped to be.” “But now at age 68, I’m just glad to be alive!” Ginny tells us before getting to the serious part that she and husband Gene have children (1b, 1g), grandchildren and great grandchild And, they are celebrating their 50 th wedding anniversary this June 16th! Let’s all go congratulate the Good‘s 50th, 50 times That’s what I call Good work! Page 67 May 7th, 2006 We can’t say much about Nicolas Pontelandolfo because he didn’t say much about Nick Ponte either It matters not, for we know that if you need auto parts, first get a Ford some might say, and then send an e-mail message to pontesautoparts@aol.com How’s that for a commercial, Nick? Congratulations are in order as June Ponzo Jackson writes to tell us, “We have children and grandchildren” and that “Harry and I have just celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.” June’s hobbies are gardening and traveling We hope Harry and June enjoy this big party we threw for them today! Remember how Robert Ragone “liked to dance” and that he loved “sports and cars.” He “loves to play tennis and golf.” The Ragone’s have “6 grandchildren, kids” He worked as an Accountant at RCA for 35 years Hey! “Little Rags”! Do golfing accountants count their strokes or estimate them? Did you know Bill Myers is a golfing instructor? Reporting in from Moorestown is William Ramick “Reds” and wife Mary have, “Three children: Greg, Sharon, Denise, three grandchildren: Rebecca, Lydia, Sara Let’s ask “Reds” to tell us about the “Project Manager”? Just remember that Henry Randazzo, “Lived to go to the 50th reunion” “7 grandchildren and children” writes Henry He “retired from the Navy, after serving years on active duty and 21 years in the active reserves” Now “retired from full time employment”, Henry is his own employer, “buying and selling new merchandise in the house ware industry.” One just can’t get used to retirement can we? Page 68 May 7th, 2006 I would like to bet you all those nieces and nephews are glad they are related to Edith D Revels Especially so when Aunt Edith, a “retired US Postal Service Supervisor”, returns with presents from her travels throughout the USA, including cruises to Alaska and Hawaii, Canada, Australia, Bermuda, and many islands in the Caribbean She hasn’t told us, but we also think Aunt Edith has occasionally managed to take a few of her favorites along with her on those trips too Edith is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of the Bible Evening School Welcome home, Aunt Edith! “I’m a retired principal”, writes an instructive and proper Annetta Riggs-Braxton “I taught many years in Camden “I also served as an adjunct professor at Camden County College.” She’s a “proud mother of two (2) daughters and grandmother of one (1) grandson, Malcolm “I’m blessed!!!” She was almost the ‘gal that got away‘, but we made a determined effort to find Helen Robinson Wojtech and we‘re glad we did Remember her because “After all these years, I’m still smiling.” The Robinson’s “had four children- Beth, Rick (deceased 1993), Randall and Chris- who are all grown-up and married- 7½ grandchildren who keep us busy all of the time.” Helen is “still teaching and plans to so for as long as I can because I love what I do.” A busy Helen’s hobbies include “reading (especially about history) and collecting antique glassware and pottery.” Helen adds that husband “Karel’s hobby is keeping me out of trouble.” It’s a tough job, right Karel? Yes, we know- somebody‘s got to it! Page 69 May 7th, 2006 Remember James T Robinson “As a man of God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” The Robinson family is blessed with son, daughters, nine grandchildren and greatgrandchildren- “all doing well in the name of Jesus Christ.” Knowing where his heart is, Jim wishes to “Thank you Jesus for the wisdom and knowledge.” Amen, Jim Approaching the bar is Zev Rose Remember him “As a “good” guy!” he requests “No effort to that, Zev” because bar none, it’s done, we tell him “My wife is Carol,” pleads our Zev Here then is the reading of the remainder of the transcript- “We have sons: Leon, wife, Donna, Children, Sam and Brooke; Adam, wife, Stacey, Children, Gabriella, Jacob & Noah.” Duly recorded, case dismissed! It’s awful easy to remember Marie Rossi-Lohmiller, “As someone who is friendly, somewhat shy, one who likes to volunteer”, (Your committee ‘Thanks You, Marie’) She “enjoys gardening, and enjoys being with people.” We wonder if she remembers how much we enjoyed those Dance Club sessions in the basement at Hatch! How’s that for remembering way, way back, Marie? Page 70 May 7th, 2006 We decided to give everyone a look at the message from John J Santucci, Sr as is because it gives us the opportunity to compare Jack‘s message with the message sent in by his wife and high school sweetheart Gloria Luciani Santucci shown earlier Here goes! “After graduating from the U.S Naval Academy in 1960, I married my high school sweetheart, Gloria Lucianni (CHS ’55) We raised four children (Joanne, Jack Jr., Elaine and Karen) who graduated from college, married and have their families, which include our seven grandchildren ”After more than 40 years around naval ships, both on active duty and as an engineering defense contractor, obtaining a MBA from Drexel University, and becoming a Professional Engineer in NJ/PA, I am now semi-retired from the VSE Corporation of Alexandria, VA “I’m working as a part-time consultant; playing ’hacker’ type golf and spending time at the shore “It’s been a good way for my evolution into becoming a full-time beach bum, the one occupation that comes to me quite naturally “Best of all, I enjoy spending time with the grandchildren.” That was nicely done Jack Note to Bill Myers- can you instruct an evolving hacker-golf playing-beach bum? Now here’s a spot for Anthony Saracino Someone ask “Tony” to “Make our day” by remembering to make our little book complete! Page 71 May 7th, 2006 Out spreading the word is a dedicated and devout Hester Savage Hunley suggesting we, “Don‘t walk in front of me, I might not follow “Don‘t walk behind me I might not lead “Just walk beside me and be my ’friend’ “ Heather, a widow, is “one of Jehovah‘s Witnesses, preaching whenever and wherever I can!” She also managed to tell us she is a “teacher of the handicapped”, having received her BA graduating magna cum laude from Glassboro State College Heather has two children, and four grandchildren Son Raymond I Hunley, Jr., a welder, has two children, Sheryl- attending college, and Brandon- who plans to follow in his father‘s profession Heather’s son, Thomas, is in Business Sales and has two children, Jalissa, age 5, and Sara, age Peace is with you Heather and we no longer look over our shoulder when you’re around! “Not attending” is Edwin Schulnick, but we can remember Ed as a “dedicated family man Ed has children and grandchildren A retired postal worker, Ed is an avid golfer and jogger, including marathons! Look! See Ed run! If we have a 55th reunion, I’ll be there” writes a hopeful Diane Scott Taylor “If my address changes, I’ll let someone know.” “Have a great 50th reunion!” she wishes to all And we ALL plan to be at the 55th too Diane Oh Diane, what I could with those lines… Married for 48 years, Joan Senatore Dicrescenzo and husband Julio “have children and grandchildren.” Joan “retired after 26 years a secretary in the Attendance Office at Haddon Township High School.” Good thing you are here today Joan, otherwise the Reunion Truant Officer would have been knocking at your door! Page 72 May 7th, 2006 Robert Smith says only that he was a manager for Utility Life Insurance Company and is retired Let’s go over to Bob's table and ask him to tell us more! Surely and without a doubt, we can remember a smiling Esther Sobel Zoblin, “As a good person.” We also can remember her and all those laugh-filled afternoons in “Doc” Smith’s class Esther and husband Martin have children, grandchildren The Zoblin’s are both retired, and enjoy traveling Ah…to be “Retired 11 years.” That’s an “Occupation” we all could live with! So it goes for Stanley Sobel (BSME ’59 Penn; MSME ’66 Villanova) Lucky Stan now gets to spend his time with “grandchildren, travel, fishing, gardening, model trains” This little spot is where we thought, hoped, and prayed we would get our secret agent Angeline Staffirre Doyle “to tell all” but she didn’t mention a single thing Well guess what? Neither will I On second thought I’ll just make up a few things Let’s see, Hmm… A dancer back then, “Could She Have Danced All Night?” “Married 50 years” writes William K Stauts The Stauts' have “5 children, grandchildren.” Bill has his own printing business in Medford When not operating the business along with the children, Bill manages to volunteer his time to the Medford Business Association, Medford Historical Society, Cultural Arts Committee, the Rotary, and the Community Center A busy man, this Bill, thanks for answering our call when we needed you Bill Page 73 May 7th, 2006 Just because Catherine Strachan Hewitt says, “I wouldn’t” want to be remembered, “if referring to High School days” doesn’t mean we won’t On the other hand we’ll choose to remember “Kitty” because of her “Dedication to my students and profession”, but most of all her “love for my family and friends” A busy and proud mother of children (daughter, son) and grandchildren, "Kitty" (BS/HCA), still finds time for painting and decorating Everyone can remember Renee Tacknoff Gold as a “Good student and a good friend” without being told! She has children and grandchildren For Renee, enjoyment is “…cooking, playing bridge and spending time with my family.” Just remember Jack Tanier as a, “…Fun loving hopeless romantic ‘artist’” and “living LIFE large with ‘Gusto’.” Hit the road Jack, and take us with you! We often find that a nice person does nice things and that’s why we are going to remember Carolyn M Taylor Cook for, “Helping People” Congratulations also to Marva Thomas Murphy as she writes, “Married to Al for 50 years.” The Murphy’s have “3 children, grandchildren and grandchild.” Marva “retired from Campbell Soup Company after 22 years.” She now “works part time for the Camden County Recreation Program and the Camden County Board of Elections.” Marva, what are we going to at “Soup time” now? Page 74 May 7th, 2006 Loretta Thompson Schnitzius finally has roots in Cocoa Beach, FL after stops in Cherry Hill, NJ, and lower DE When “Opportunity” knocked, Loretta and John, husband of 44 years answered They then relocated there some 23 years ago They have children “A son and daughter live in FL and a son lives in Australia.” grandchildren (ages 3.5 to 12) complete the Schnitzius’ family Both Loretta and John are retired but “very busy camping, traveling, fishing and sailing.” Loretta has some beautiful artwork and it can be seen at www.fifthavenueartgallery.com I’m just bananas over it too, Loretta! I’d write a whole lot more about Lois Truetter Ream but her sheet was empty I know she’s married to a wonderful guy who I promised that he would have a great time here, especially as he decided to attend, and work without pay or benefits He’s here, so let’s make sure he does- Have fun and work! We’re very glad Eleanor Tureck Puryear made it to the Reunion She didn’t write anything for us to scribble about, but we’ll remember her as the girl who also illustrated for the “Hatchet” at HJHS, and we have the book to prove it! He is, “Happily retired, active in the church, enjoying beach and golf.” That’s the big message from big George Wade With “6 great kids, grand kids and great grand kids”, he is sure to be remembered, “As someone who had good impact on family and friends.” Short and sweet is the message from long and tall Eugene Wales Remember him “Kindly” We found him way out in the Pacific Northwest and he made it all the way here today! Now kindly go get some answers to our questions! Page 75 May 7th, 2006 Remember Fred C Wawrzyniak, “As the blonde-haired member of the class of ’55 who thought he was going to be an architect of buildings but ended up an architect of distribution and transportation.” Ok Fred, whatever it takes, but I’d rather remember you as the lucky guy who had two very attractive neighbors! “Still working” writes Richard Weirauch, the former master of the long one-hander from what is now pt land “United Refrig, 45 years, Inside Sales Mgr”, he continues “4 children, grandchildren”, he quickly adds Warming to the task, a now loosened “Monk” tells us he has been “President of Frankford Boys club since 1977” and is the owner of a 1952 M.G.T.D Sports Car.” I almost forgot- the first entry in his list- “U.S.M.C years.” A never to be forgotten moment- "Monk's" expression and comments to a first day, Marine recruit after their unexpected encounter in the morning chow line at USMCRD, PI, SC, Oct'55 Semper FI, "Monk"! Virginia Weyman DiBartolomeo makes life simple for transcribers Is there any way to remember “Ginny” other than the girl who was always, “Smiling?” You’ll find Joan Wilkinson Watson “Spending our summers at the shore.” “A love of the water” enables the Watson’s to “do lots of boating” Remember Joan as, “Happily married to Fred for over 45 years” and that they have “3 great children and grandson.” We too are just glad that Betty Williams Shelton is, “Just glad to be at the Reunion.” We are just as glad that she helped on the committee! Page 76 May 7th, 2006 Remember Roland Williams as “Johnny Cake, the friendly guy!” Easy-going Johnny Cake says, “Married to my wife Carolyn in October 1988, (second time around).” The Williams’, “have four children and nine grandchildren “Daughters- Kelly has 3, Glenda 2, Cheryl 2, and son Mark 2.” In 1987 he relocated to Florida with Siemens-Westinghouse, retiring to Elkton, MD in 2000 In 1994 the always-on track “Cake” was “appointed to the National AAU Junior Olympics Track and Field Committee The year 2002 saw him elected National VP and Commissioner of the Northeast In 2002 he started Roland Williams Enterprises Inc., a home improvement firm Wrapping it up nicely, Johnny Cake comments, “In short, that’s what I do, see you May 7th.” Everyone will agree that bringing up “4 children alone, 30 years baby sitting grandchildren” is reason enough for us to remember Joan Woloszyn Lalla, as a, “Loving, caring Mother, Grandmother, and friend.” A “Student of the Bible”, our Joan is “active in swimming and aerobics.” Good job, Joan Arnold Young writes that he is a “semi-retired Clinical Psychologist”, having received his PH.D from Temple Arnold and wife Harriet are married 43 years and have children and grandchildren Please Arnold, you must tell us what it is you when you are “semi-working”? Page 77 May 7th, 2006 “Fondly” is how we can remember John Young Nice touch, “Youngie”, and we will so Also answering to Jack, he has “4 children (3b, 1g) by first wife” He spent years in the USMC and is retired from the Bucks County government A “regular churchgoer, Lutheran Church in Morrisville”, he finds “Faith very important, especially these days.” Jack received an “Associates Degree from County College then my marriage fell apart.” He “met another, great gal, lifetime partner.” Jack and Martha “RV in a 32’ Jayco motor home as much as possible” meeting, "lots of nice people.” The Young’s also "have a 10 month old Cock-a-Poo puppy named Sandy that has been a delight” Semper Fi, Jack! When you get to “Z” you know you’re close to the last vignette This collection of “Remember Me” went from A to Regina Zubrzycki Urban Having a “Z” for a last name, our “Reggie” was accustomed to being last (name-wise of course) in every list Our list of classmates would be incomplete without her entry Even marrying Richard Urban (SJHS’54) in 1959 only moved her up a few positions- alphabetically speaking But we all know, no matter what the letter, you’ll always find “Reggie” first in line when it comes to lending a hand, volunteering, and offering friendly assistance Sometimes a girl just can’t win, but win she did as the Urban’s have “4 sons and 15 grandchildren.” What better way to end this collection than to remember a quiet and thoughtful “Reggie” as “Blessed.” Finis! Page 78 May 7th, 2006 ... sharing and “Thanks” too, Lenora, for sharing your story with us! Won't Joseph T DiVello be surprised to see the entire Class of 1955 visit his Medford, NJ Deli-Market to "stop in for some great food?"... donation to Temple into more than $1M to benefit the North Philadelphia Community, as well as the construction of a $25M Student Resident Hall." Tom has served as an Educational Specialist for the. .. University Carole believes that “always present and important have been opportunities to touch the lives of older people – a group of which I am fast becoming a member.” You've touched us too Carole
