Hard to read but bottom line, hometown hero's program is off to a great beginning. Looking forward to September reunion.

Well, it's hard to believe but that magical number "80" is upon us. Some fear it while others embrace it. I'm in the latter group. The fact that I'm still of sound (?) mind and in somewhat reasonable physical shape, thanks to modern medicine and bionic replacement parts, I'm thankful every day for what I have. Just as important has been the ongoing relationships I have maintained with my fellow classmates through this website and in particular to all the reunions we have held over the years. Ken has been the glue keep this all together. We would not be where we are without his efforts. This one will be the 23rd get together. Thank you Ken.

Once again Ken is having another mini reunion this September, which may be the last time many of our classmates will have the opportunity to attend one great birthday party at the American Legion Post. The date is September 6, 2025 from 6-10pm. Cost is $45 pp. send checks to KEN KRAFT 30 Cottonwood Road, Port Washington, NY 11050. Mark your calendar and let Ken know if you plan on attending. 

Hope to see many of you there.
