Now that it's 2005 (which seemed a very futuristic year back in 1965, when my class graduated St. Rose) it's time to start plannng for our big 40-year reunion. All you Class of '65ers, start getting in touch with our classmates who we haven't seen here yet. Perhaps by spring we'll have amassed a pretty good turnout.

If the rest of you guys are nice to us, we might invite you to our party!

So far we have tracked down:

Debbie Barnes
Nick Caravassi
Richard Koles
Donna LaFiura
Eileen Strallow
Maureen Callaghan
Pat Heilman
Margaret Hamilton
Peter Podeszwa
Vincent O'Rourke
Bill Tortoriello
Maureen Sauce

And there's a few I can't recall at the moment. Do your best, guys.

Was my sister Linda '65? (Or maybe it was '64?) If she is among the missing 65-ers I'll let her know she's wanted....

Here is a suggestion for your reunion. Print the names from your class. You would be amazed at who knows who. We had overwhelming success last year.

Hi Barbara. Linda was in our class of 64.

Thanks, Peggie. I thought it was one or the other.

What about my wonderful sis, Ann Culligan Bragan?

I knew I would leave off somebody. How could I have forgotten a Culligan girl? They are unforgetable.

I'm class of 65 Linda Rice, so is Anthony Parisi-Frank McCree can help there.

Hi Linda. I knew if I started listing names, people would show up!

John, I spoke with my sister Ann last night and she's thrilled at the idea of a 65 Reunion! You can e-mail her with any info at AnnBragan@yahoo.com. See you tonight.
