Greetings all! Sounds like classmates are running into each other more than ever. Been a beautiful summer so far here in Deutschland. On the somewhat remote chance that anyone is near Frankfurt, Germany on Aug 9, 2008 you are cordially invited to a Black and White Party (must wear clothing containing either one or both of those colors) at the Harvey Household, 7 Buchenweg, Stelzenberg 67705. (+49) 6306-701811. First 5 JJHS'ers who attend get beds to sleep in at our house. In the meantime, take care all. -Michael PS: Happy 49th Birthday Michael Duffy in San Diego (another birthday for you Kathy!). |

| A word from your President...Ha! I just have to say that you ladies and gents who have kept the ball rolling from the 30th reunion including organizing the scholarship fund are AMAZING! After organizing the 20th, and helping with the 2000 multi-class get-together, I dropped out of sight to concentrate on family issues and reign in the overload of volunteering (I think a lot of you know what I mean). I have to say I am so proud to be associated with you generous and hard-working (and partying!!) classmates; this website is such a wonderful way to stay in touch and I intend to be a whole lot better at it. Thanks again for what you are doing and I hope to see you soon. jill | |||

Well, it was a shame I missed what sounds like a GREAT event! And to think, that I was the catalyst for it all by asking Donna way back in the spring of '06 whether she would attempt a 30th reunion...For all you folks trying to reach "Lost Classmates", as I told Donna, try using USA-PEOPLE-SEARCH.COM (use the advanced search option and use an age...48,49,50). It also helps if you know the persons middle name/initial. Once you've zeroed in on some of the locations where they may be, use the White Page directory online to home in on them!! I'll post my info in the "Classmates" section too..Hopefully see you all at the "Mid Century Party" !! PS- Cerrone & Martin..BEWARE....I'm comin' over with my "TurboBlender" this summer!!! - Rog NaplesDigitalPhotography.Com@Hotmail.Com |

These times that I spend reconnecting and reminiscing with all of you are very special to me .

I am sharing the thank you note I received from Bruce and Joanna Whalen (Lewis) Joanna wrote: Dear Lisa, Your name along with the Class of 1977 was given to us by the Katonah Fire Department Benevolent Assoc. as contributors to a fund for 18 year old son, Matthew. He has now finished his chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Throughout his treatments he continued to volunteer with the Fire Department, attend college full-time and work part-time. In March he will have his first post-treatment P.E.T. scan. His doctors feel that the results will be excellent. We are very hopeful that Matt's cancer treatments will be behind him. Thank you for your kindness and generosity which has allowed us to focus our energy on keeping Matt's spirit positive and on getting him well. With much gratitude, Bruce and Jo Whalen |

Hey John! How did your son do at the wrestling tournament? My daughter, Liana goes to watch some of the matches and they are often shown on the local TV channel. I don't think any of our games were ever on TV back in the day.... I think JJ looks totally different - especially when they enclosed the walkways which attached the buildings. Remember how "fun" it was to freeze going from A building to C building in the bitter cold? And of course we were all too cool to wear coats during the day! Ahhh... the good 'ol days. My kids have no idea what I'm talking about when I tell them the buildings were originally built in a "California Campus" style. And who's bright idea was that anyway? Did anyone notice that we were living in the Northeast, not CA?! |

I spent most of yesterday at John Jay at the Wrestling Tourney. It sure has changed a lot! The old gym is now split into a wrestling room on one side, and a weight room on the other. And a full gym was added on. (But I guess many of you already know.) I saw Toto Genovese there (his two boys are wrestlers at John Jay) and we talked for a while. Apparently, the class of '76 had a low turnout at their 20th reunion, and didn't have a 30th. It was fun being back there for the day. My son was impressed with all the Football Championship banners from the 70's (nine in all) hanging on the wall of the gym. Take care, everyone. Hope to see some of you soon. |

Happy Holidays to all the wonderful class of 1977. It was an honor to attend such a gala event! We definitely needed more days to reminisce. Perhaps the next gathering should be for a week! Thanks to John Pirc, I remember everything even back to second grade. I really enjoyed laughing and telling stories of yester- year. Deirdre, Susan, and Angela thanks for remembering all the special times we had as young ones. Oh, Donna could you please post a picture of the JV cheerleaders with me in it. I'm not vain, I just want to show my kids that I had braces too. They think they weren't invented yet :) Some of us have been through trials ,but they only make us better people. What warms my heart is the love inside I have from knowing all of you and the memories we shared. Some very close and some superficial yet, they are part of what makes us who we are today. I think most of us will agree that the good 'ole days are in no comparison to what our kids have to deal with today. I pray that your lives continue to be blessed and lets keep encouraging each other; after all that's what friends are for! God Bless you , everyone . |

| By now I hope most of you will have received a mailing from the Scholarship Committee. For those of you who haven't or don't know, a John Jay Class of 1977 Scholarship Fund has been established through the Board of Education in honor of our deceased classmates. We were able to obtain tax deductible status for the fund and hope to be able to award a John Jay senior in 2008 (possibly more years as well) with a scholarship. I and the rest of the committee hope you might consider sending a donation (and do so before 12/31/07 to get a 2007 tax deduction...hint hint from the CPA). If you want any further information send me email. | |||

Here's another reason to have reunions (and actually ATTEND them): You never know what's around the corner and how the people you know can be of help. Just after Thanksgiving, my sister Melanie's older son was diagnosed with a rare malignant brain tumor. His prognosis is not as good as Matt Whelan's, as he is only 2 and the treatment options are limited. He's had one surgery and is scheduled for another on Dec. 10th. Chemo starts in the New Year. Life has taken on all the aspects of a long-term siege in our family, but the one beautiful bright spot has been my correspondence with Gil Freeman and Peggy Montgomery. Their love and concern has been so comforting to Melanie and all of us, and I wouldn't even have been back in touch with them if it hadn't been for the JJHS'77 reunion! SO... stay in touch with old friends, wherever you or they may be. And treasure your children. |

| I spoke with Joanna Lewis Whalen shortly after the reunion and shared the good wishes everyone sent to her and her family. For those classmates that were not at the reunion, Johanna's 18 year old son, Matt, is undergoing chemo and radiation treatments for a cancerous tumour. His prognosis is good and they all stay very positive. A check for $115 (donations collected at the reunion) was sent to the Katonah Firemen's Benevolent Association on behalf of the JJHS class of 1977 to be given to the Whalen Family for help with expenses for Matt's care. Additional donations can be sent to: KFD Benevolent Assoc. - 65 Bedford Road, Katonah, NY 10536. (note the Whalen Fund on your check) Johanna was sorry to have missed the party, but hopefully she will be able to attend the next one with news of Matt's full recovery. | |||

Words from Gil Freeman: Hi to all, Thanks to the JJ Class of '77 for handing me one of the happiest times of my 30 years of teaching at that wonderful school. You guys came smack in the middle of my 30 years of teaching, conducting choirs,directing 57 plays and musicals, helping out with the 25 Variety shows that finally ended when Peggy and I retired in 1991. Please don't tell any siblings you might have that were in other classes, but '77 was one of the most incredible groups I had the pleasire of knowing and working with. Many thanks and blessings to you for the next 48 years of your lives!! 11/17/07 |

Dear Reunion Team: Donna, Dave, Kathy, Lisa, Cindy, Barbara, Bev.- Thank You! I cannot thank Donna & Kathy enough for reconnecting me, it is truly an honor to be considered a part of the Class of '77. The night flew by and I treasure the moments that I got to spend with friends I have known since elementary school, and those who became friends in middle school and high school. My only regret is that the time spent was not long enough. A special Thank You to Amy Alkoff-Chasin (one of my closest friends when I left JJHS in'76) who made it to the reunion on a moments notice. I publicly apologize for not saying good-bye. To my longest and dearest friend Darlene Simidian Thank You for being there...as always. Donna-In my book you are officially the Queen of JJHS Class of '77. You always made a gathering fun...30 years later is no exception! Love ya all! (I can say that now that I've lived south of the Mason-Dixon line for more than 20 years) Ellie |

It's probably for the best-- he barely speaks English these days-- spends all day in his restaurant yelling in Swiss German and French-- he's the global chef he always wanted to be. I will do a better job and get him to the 35th! | |||

Great, great time. Thanks again to the organizers!!! Many great memories shared with old friends (all the way back to elementary school). The crazy stuff we used to do "back in the day". It's amazing to see how a bunch of goofballs like us actually went on to do something (anything) with our lives. Also fun connecting with people I didn't really know very well back then at John Jay. Is there a contact list somewhere? I would like to keep in touch. I'm at: jpirc2000@yahoo.com |

| Phil and Margaret......I was touched by your last post....I also had a lump in my throat at the time and tried hard to smile and not lose it...it was such a great honor! You guys are special......and as you know Margaret....Phil was my first boyfriend in 7th grade (way back in junior high)..and you are also a big part of my past too....growing up down the street from me in Katonah for all those years.....I am so glad that we all had a chance to be together again....it went way too fast! Hope to see you guys at our 35th! | |||

The fact that the Fucci became a lawyer has renewed my trust in mankind and someday I will be somebody too. Hope to see you all at the 35th, Phil&Margaret |

Thank you to the class of 77 for making your way to the Holiday Inn in Fishkill and rekindling the spirit of my youth. I loved every minute, every laugh, every conversation, every dance. I look forward to seeing all of you again! I think that we should keep this website up for more than 9 months. I took some great photos and will be adding them to the website as soon as figure out how. | |||

It was neat to see people after all these years, look in their eyes and realize that we knew each other since kindergarten! Great to talk to Mike Cassar, Mike Harvey, Billy Myers, Tom Broadbent and John McKinlay. Great to see Dave Cederholm and everyone who organized this wonderful event. Thanks Donna and the committee. The ladies were looking a lot spiffier than us guys! If you are ever in Maine, come visit. | |||

We really have not changed all that much. Actually we are a LOT more fun now. Tom B. so sorry your not feeling well. I heard the rumor that you and Mike were up all night, guess it was true. I guess we will be having a 35th, possibly in Florida? It was wonderful to see all of you again!! The time went by so fast we never did do the shot contest with Tom and Kathy, we will have to plan that out better for the 35th! My bet is still on Kathy! Stay in touch and be well!! | |||

Dearest Alumni: Most of us are bleary-eyed, but I think we all would agree it was worth every minute of it of lost sleep. Time spent/memories shared will always be in a special place in our hearts. Thanks to all of YOU for coming and supporting the biggest and best 1977 class reunion.It was wonderful to see Gil Freeman and Peg Montomery. Gil sent a note which I will post at a later date. As of this am, we raised over $500.00 for the scholarship fund!! Donna and I will talking about the particulars and we will keep you updated via this website(which will be active for abt 9 more months.) If anyone still wants a memory book($5.00 donation) please email me and I will send you one. MANY people have expressed an interest in having a 35 yr reunion, which I think the committee will go for after we get some sleep. Please let me know your thoughts about that and any postive and negative comments about the weekend(not too many negative comments please..) We are also going to set up and send via email/snail mail a yearly newsletter, so please follow this site. Tom Martin, I loved seeing you. Some fellow alumni told of their secret crushes last nite, and Tom, hate to burst your bubble or anything of the sort, you were not my crush. BUT your sidekick Joe Cerrone was.... It was great seeing each and every one of you, please keep in touch and remember: "WE hope you never look back, but you never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, We hope you always forgive and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get..."(Rascal Flatts) Here's to REUNION 2012! |

Donna, Kathy, Barbara, Lisa, Bev, and dear good sport and gentleman, Dave, you guys have been so wonderful to work with, to email with, and to laugh with, even if I didn't really do that much except make a few drunkien phone calls and correct Dave's spelling. Donna you deserve every fake diamond in that tiara! And as long as we're discussing the prom, John Fitzgerald, wherever you are, thank you for the much belated "prom" dance. I would have been MUCH better off going with you 30 years ago than with my ex from Yorktown. Ah, the stupidity of youth! And thank you to the "bathroom" crowd last night. Not much different from the old days, except maybe for the menopause discussion! (sniff, sniff, I love you guys!) |

| By now you all have had time to reconsider your actions for the weekend. I did and I'm still going! I got Joe Cerrone an extra "sock o'quarters" so if anyone wants to help apply his theropy they are welcomed to it. Kathy, thank you for offering me the shot of my choice; the only one I could think of is another shot at being 18, and with the right amount of "inspiration" I'll be there! Of course, it's a tricky elixar. One too many or too few and I'll over shoot my goal and be 12 again (or is that "still"?). Cerrone is coming with me on that trip, even if I need to stick the funnel down his throat again to get 'Grandpa's cough medicine' down his pie hole. Since you have graciously turned the temperatures down in Fishkill to below what my friggen refrigerator is set to, we will be requesting extra 'anit-freeze' for us thin-blooded Floridians. You will find me setting fire to the sofa to stay warm. Bring your own marshmallows. Lastly, ladies, when you see me please try not to smother me with smooches. I am very bashful. I am also alergic to jealous husbands, so if you think you may loose control when you see my handsome, honest and modest self, leave them home! Or I could loan you Cerrone's head bag for a few hours. Remember, I embarass easily. I will only give you 2-3 hours to stop what you are doing. Bottoms up! | |||

Boy – seeing all the old names was a blast. I can’t make it to the reunion because I live in Southern MD, have an extremely busy job and I have a grandson to take care of. My three kids are now 22, 21 and 17. I can feel the freedom right around the corner! I work for General Dynamics as an Environmental, Health & Safety Specialist. I love it so much I went back to school to get my Master’s Degree in the field. Yeah, me who cut most of my classes in high school! My family is going great. They are all still around the area. Me, I like it a little bit warmer than NY. That’s about it. Have fun at the reunion and if anyone wants to reminisce, send me an email.

I cant do any more time for beating the crap out of Tom Martin. I’ll also need the support of a good Therapist, seeing Tom Martin, Chris Wilson, Joe Breen,David Cronk and John Steiger all in one place might just put me back in rehab and you don’t want to witness that. .

| I am SO sorry. I have exposed you to Joe Cerrone, and I now owe you an explanation. See, he has a rare form of Tourette's Syndrome, and is prone to saying (and typing in this forum) the oddest things that come into his head. His "Theropy" (hitting him on the head with a sock full of quarters) seems to work but at his advanced age no one can be sure what he will do next. For now I would ask that you please not get in his way at the reunion while he is sitting on the sofa watching his favorite show, 'Matlock', and keep his walker out of the way so he doesn't have to look over the bars. Don't believe a word he says and keep your fingers away from his mouth. (We have NO idea where it's been.) At around 8 PM he'll nod off to sleep, and that's when I have to put the bag on his head to keep the flys out of his snoring mouth. I will kindly ask the DJ to play the music a lot louder so the management there doesn't think we're playing with chain-saws. Please don't be alarmed since this usually happens to prisoners after their electro-shock theropy. By the way, most of his hair grew back and he looks sort of normal. Well, 'normal' like the Taco Bell dog after a ride in the clothes dryer. Just don't stare, don't get him wet and never feed him after midnight. And please, for the love of all things holy, if he asks you to pull his finger, don't 'just humor the old man'. He is dangerous and may cause us to have our 40th reunion even FURTHER from Cross River. You do know that's the reason we are so far away this time, don't you? | |||

| OK you procrastinators. To pay for additional charges for late payments, the registration price was just upped to $60. I hope this doesn't discourage those late comers from attending. We can still make room, but not for long. Get off your duffs and register already! See ya'll on Nov 17th. | |||

| Barbara and Donna, what have you done last Friday night? I heard Tom & Joe are leaving the Sunshine State for Fishkill, NY! Fishkill watch out! If anyone spots 2 tall, dark, old, handsome (?) men, between Pound Ridge and Fishkill, report it to your local Sheriff’s Office. There’s trouble coming! If any of you are ever in South Florida, let me warn you, DON’T, I repeat, DON’T stop by Tom’s house after 8 PM unannounced. You might have to see those legs… and who knows what the neighbor will be wearing?? | |||

| I moved too florida for a reason, “to get away from Tom Martin†and if you all think I coming back to be in the same hotel with that pain in the ass you’re all nuts. If by chance Tom doses show up please be gentle, he’s still not 100% from the operation, it’s amazing what Sweden is doing for the gay community these days. We’ve all gotten used to Thomasina these days ( that’s his stage name, if you ask he might do his act for you.) During my wedding he had a nicer gown then Jody, my bride. Just some warnings keep him/her away from the flaming drinks, he has a nasty scar from a titty flambeau that went bad. | |||

| Please help me. I am doing my best to get Joe Cerrone to go to the reunion, but he keeps putting on his Fox Lane tee shirts and propeller beenie and telling me how great he was at track, even though everyone knows he had a front row view of my heels and was always the first place loser. He also thinks his legs were better than mine in the kick-line at the variety show. He is dilusional. My legs were far better. Anyway, he's not due back for questioning until December, and by then they should have found an antidote for that itching he has. Also, IF I do get him there and anyone has anything to do with the federal government, please ignore his "I (heart) Jihad" tattoo on his forehead. He doesn't really mean it, mostly. If you can all help me by promising to send lots of shots to our table (not the flaming ones), he might just put on long pants for the night. I think I can get his parole officer to let him leave the state for the weekend. All of Florida will thank you, including the 'gators. PS, Don't EVEN get me started on Laura Harris! | |||

| Can it really be 30 years? Bell bottoms and hip huggers are back in style, albeit as boot cut and low-rise. My sons listen to Aerosmith and are astonished that their Mom has the original Aerosmith album. How could I refuse an invitation to our 30th reunion after all the effort Kathy put into finding a "lost classmate"? Besides, I'm finally back on the same continent! I look forward to seeing everyone. I'm sure we "haven't changed one bit". | |||

After all, how many 30 year high school reunions are there in one lifetime?? Also, Miss Larz....if you are still listening, I have done my best to try and keep in shape!

This is also the deadline to book a room at the Holiday Inn in our block of discounted rooms. Please remember to mention "block JJH" when you call! Our reunion committee members have also been working very hard to find "lost" classmates and could still use a hand! Please check the list and notify one of us ASAP if you know the whereabouts of any of them! Feel free to email me with any questions or new information and thanks in advance! Donna | |||

| The website host, Myevent.com, responded to Peter Blackmore's difficulty purchasing online tickets. Evidently, the problems was caused by the web browser having saved an old temp internet file from before the online ticket purchase page was activated. Myevent.com suggests to anyone that experiences this problem to do the following: enter your web browser, click on Tools > Options > Delete Files, then revisit the site and try again. This will delete any old temp internet files that may be lying around causing trouble. If the problem continues, please contact them directly at info@myevent.com or 877-769-3836 ext.222 immediately.

| This whole thing has been so much fun already!! A few months back, I thought about how much fun it would be to get our class together again after 30 years. The first thing I did was put out a request in another website asking for any help....and Dave Cedarholm came to my aid all the way from New Hampshire! Then, I reconnected with Mike Cassar, and recently had dinner with him and his new wife....we had a great time and a lot of laughs! Mike loaned me his yearbook so I could get the ball rolling (I could not find mine). Soon following, I had more offers of help from Kathy Manizza, Cindy Scher, and Barbara Hilliard, and we have all been emailing each other and giggling like schoolgirls again!! Kathy has helped a great deal with finding missing classmates, and Dave has created this great website for us! Cindy and Barb have provided moral support and assistance in finding more people, as well as bringing back many old memories!! Thanks to all of you....I could not even imagine how this would have been without all of your help!! I can't wait to see you all again! This is true teamwork!! | |||
