Recent Happenings

Hi folks,

My apologies for not updating the website in quite a while,  but I blame it on all the fun we are having as snowbirds in Florida.  Even though we have "stay at home" policies in place down here, it appears the quality of life compared to New Jersey (our home state) is much better.  In fact, our golf course is still open!  Additionally, we are saving a lot of money not being able to go out to dinner.

Anyhow, thought I would jot down a few updates: 

1.  I had a conversation with William Jackson, biology teacher and cross country/track coach at HHS during our days there.  He and his wife Donna were spending the winter in Hawaii as their new home was under construction in Wake Forest, NC.  He has had some health issues but is doing well, and it was a very enjoyable conversation.  He is a guest on our HHS website so you would be able to contact him through the site if you so desire.

2.  I also talked to our classmate Larry Hartman.  Larry was mistakenly put on the "In Memory" list about ten years ago, but that major error was corrected. Larry wants you all to know that he is alive and doing well!  He and his wife Nancy are currently getting ready to move from Marco Island, FL to a new home in North Naples.  By the way, Larry's birthday is December 14 and he certainly would enjoy hearing from classmates on that or any other occasion. 

3.  Geoffrey Bryant recently sent out a message to all to help identify students on a Brookline School 6th grade class photo that can be found on the Elementary and Junior High school photo section of this website.  Please contact Jeff if you can help. 

4.  We know this is a bad time with Covid-19, but with most of us looking for things to do while sheltered at home, here is a suggestion:  Go through your old photo albums, scrapebooks, etc. and search for any photos or other memories of our high school days.  Send them to me at wnking@ptd.net, and we .will will post them on the website.  Additionally, it would be a perfect time to update your own profile on the website.  Any news of classmates would also be of great interest..

Best wishes to all.  Stay safe and healthy!  Believe it or not, we need to think about the 60th for the fall of 2022.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
