Preston School Photo

Check out the recent picture submitted by Barry Davis of the sixth grade class of the Preston School in 1956.  You will recognize many of the students who later became notable members of HHS62.  To view click on the tab on the home page on the left for "Elementaries and JHS", then hit on Preston School, and finally click on the thumbnail photo to see the names of the students.  A few of the names are missing so we need your help with that.  If you have other photos from Preston, or any other elementary school, that you would like to post please email to me at wnking@ptd.net.  Thanks to Barry!

Thank you all for filling out the survey regarding the 60th, scheduled for this coming September 2022.  To date we have close to 90 folks who plan to attend.  It is not too late to submit the survey, which will help us greatly in planning.  The survey can be found on this home page on the left side entitled "HHS62-60th REUNION SURVEY".  The Committee has held two meetings so far and a third is scheduled for May 25, 2022.

  The Reunion site will be the Desmond Hotel in Malvern (location of the 55th), with a welcome reception on Friday evening, September 23, 2022, and a luncheon on Saturday, September 24, 2022.  Please add these dates to your calendar, for we are hoping for a big turnout.  Discussions are also being held about a golf outing and luncheon at the Glenhardie Golf and Country Club on Friday afternoon.  Thanks to Cherly Kirk Flail for coordinatey this event.  Additionally, we are working with the High School Principal, Peter Donaghy, to set up tours of the High School on Saturday morning before the Reunion.  As you can see, this is not a Reunion to miss!  Actual registration forms will be sent out to all who are signed onto this website after the meeting on May 25.  We ask your help in getting the word out to all classmates whether they are members of the website or not.

The Passing of Joseph Bracken

Bill McGowan inftormed me recently that sadly Joe Bracken had passed away in October 2021.  Joe and Bill were the best of friends for over 60 years.  Joe was a very good athlete during his years at HHS.  Joe ran an antique book store in San Diego.  My wife Linda and I had the enjoyable experience of golfing with Joe and Bill at the 50th Reunion.  He will be missed!
