Visit with Coach and Teacher Frank McLaughlin

     I had  the great pleasure recently to visit with Mr. Frank McLaughlin, HHS track coach and English teacher during our high school days.  Mr. McLaughlin was an HHS grad and All-American runner at St. Joseph University, setting many records along the way and is a member of the SJU Hall of Fame.  On a personal level, he was a mentor and role model to me both as a teacher and a coach.  I have stayed in touch with our cross country coach, William Jackson (doing well and living in North Carolina) over the years, and he was able to connect me with Coach McLaughlin.  Frank McLaughlin and his wife, Ruth, live in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island, NJ. and were the hosts for a wonderful lunch and visit at their house on August 23, 2021.

It would be interesting to research how many of our HHS teachers are still with us and where they are located.

Passing of Jay Davis

I am sorry to inform you of the passing of Jay Davis, a classmate and friend of many members of the Class of 1962.  Vince DelViscio informed me recently of his death.  Vince and I were neighbors of the Davis family and Mr. Davis drove the three of us to school in junior high and the beginning of high school.  Jay was a very kind and caring individual and will be missed.  He attended many of our reunions.

I regret to inform you of more sad news.  Robert Hudson of our class, and a good friend to many, passed away suddenly on July 11, 2021.  Bob will be missed.  We offer our sincere condolences on behalf of the class to Margaret, his wife, and the family.
