Hi Louise!
I've been meaning to contact you about several things. Right now in a big hurray
and only skimmed your email....yes, we did a slide show....I think I was the
main person who put it together...slides, music, a pre- mu lti-media multi-media
event!!!
And we/I made a display that I think is still in my parents' attic re: farm workers & Chavez....the Good Yarns bookstore was about to open in a storefront on main(?) street - -not where they are now....across from Ran's (Hastings Stationery) and they let us put up the display in their window....amazing!.....ah...for the days when people didn't worry about liability!
Jean Z. and I (and maybe Molly or someone else) hung the display and had a great time posing in "frozen" positions when people came by, pretending we were manikins....people photographed us....wish I knew who...let me know if you hear of this....
meanwhile....easier to get me by phone cuz its icy here and my internet isn't
working at home....
my # is (617) 926-0028 or (617) 835-9949 (c).....CALL!!!!
I'd love to talk.
And I'll try to remember more about slide show....amazing thing is that I'd
recently told my parents I wanted to retrieve it from attic and hoped it hadn't
been tossed!
Talk to you soon!

Please make sure hastings@art-cetera.com is not filtered as spam by your service provider. You will have to call them.
As for old emails, they are all saved at www.art-cetera.com/hastings. Just click on the "Email Message Board" link on the left side.
I used to archive them up there after 20 came in. That was back when I had time on my hands. Now I wait for at least 100 to come through.
I just did a posting, so the ones up there are pretty recent. Please note, it is a treasure trove of old messages dating back to 5/9/99!

Hi Alan,
Thanks so much for your speedy response. I'll check with my ISP but I would
doubt that's the problem since I get a message when I log on if they have determined
that something is spam. Also strange since I have been getting the emails up
until Feb 15th. I'll try to reach them by phone, but any other thoughts about
this? I'm trying to send out a message today to Hastings folks to see if anybody
knows of someone reliable and reasonable who can shovel snow for my parents
on Villard--in case you can forward this to the site, would you mind? Thanks
so much!
Dear Hastings area alumni-
Does anybody know of a reliable, reasonable person who might shovel snow for
my parents, Mimi & Jacques Padawer, on Villard Ave? They've had someone
for years who recently changed jobs. Any ideas on this short notice given today's
storm? Or, if not for this storm, any ideas for the future?
If so, please call my parents directly (914)479-5322 or call me (Jill) (617)
835-9949. If anyone can refer someone reliable, I'd greatly appreciate it--
I'd prefer if you don't give out their number, but rather if you'd call them
with the referral.
Thanks so much!!!!

Hi Pat!
I think I might know a bit about Y.E.S. I believe that Nancy Skultedy Gagliardi
directed it for years but I think (obviously she can best confirm this) she
has changed jobs. I don't know who is now doing it. I was hoping for a more
personal referral (i.e., from someone we know, since at least in my area there
a some shady characters and unfortunately some unreliable and over-charging
high school students who do shovelling! Ever since the blizzards of '05, the
high school kids in Cambridge, MA seem to have mastered economics of supply
and demand and are seriously taking advantage of senior citizens on limited
incomes! Hopefully, the same is not occurring in our dear H-on-H, but I figured
I'd check with alumni--also, most High School kids don't like to shovel these
days...I'd expect more likely an adult with a snowblower and business.
On another note, are you set for lodgings when you come to Boston in May? Sorry
I was unable to get you more info back in January....I got stranded in Florida
(good place to be stranded when it was the coldest January I recall in Boston).
Let me know if you still need ideas re: lodgings.
It looked like you'd found a good situation from what I recall. I'm still not
sure if I'll be in town when you come--check with me!

Eric, thanks for the tech support. Time consuming to fix, yes. Thankfully, judging by Jill's responses, the filtering problem has been resolved.
Jill, the reason you have a copy of your class emails in both the Inbox and Sent folder is that once you send your email to the class, our server then sends it to everyone enrolled to receive class emails, including yourself! Receiving that email is your proof everyone else received it as well.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Sadly it is very difficult to find kids these days who are willing to

Hastings if there was no school due to snow, if my brother and I didn't
do our driveway and at least two neighbors driveways, there would be
hell to pay with my father.
Nowadays this work is done by hardworking folks from south of the border
while our kids sit in front of a computer and get fat.

If anyone remembers my house, up on a hill off lefurgy avenue, you'll remember the seemingly MILES of sidewalk I had to shovel...not to mention the drive way.
What Jim says is true. When we were in high school, it was easy to find parking right in front. Now, all the streets are filled with parked cars for blocks around! EVERYONE seems to drive. My son Joshua is 16 and he is in 10th grade. Its amazing how many heavy kids there are.

Anne Lindner passed away this week after a long battle with cancer. Some of you will remember Anne from YES or St Matt's. Her five kids were all younger; the oldest, John, was class of '80. He still lives in Hastings and is a firemen as was his dad (also a NYC cop). Anne and Jack retired to Delaware not too far from my parents so we got to continue the friendship from Euclid Avenue.
While on a sad note, my dad, Ted Krafft, passed away in the fall from an anuerysm. The shock is greater, but going fast at 80 is a good way to do it. My sympathies to everyone dealing with long illnesses.. We just had a memorial service in the town where my folks spend winters. All 5 kids were together and, despite the reason, it was really fun to have all the siblings together.

Hi All! My boys still shovel snow for us and neighbors, but wherever we move snow seems to lessen or stop. When we lived in Littleton, Colorado for 6 years, it snowed significantly maybe 4 times in total. This year I'm sure everyone has heard about all the blizzards causing airport delays as far away as London! Now that we're in NJ, we are just south of Belmar and whenever snow/sleet/rain mix is predicted, the news always shows Belmar as the cut off point for the snow. Maybe we should move somewhere that they want less snow and try to make a living out of it! Actually, as we speak, we have about 2 inches of snow on the ground from Friday, but this is really the most snow we've had this winter. Unbelievable. Remember in Hastings how much snow we had, and deep - and how they NEVER (almost) closed school!! (A side note-Maryland has had the most snow and ice in recent years of all the places we've lived, and it is south of the Mason Dixon line-isn't that ironic?)
Good with to all

There was an issue with social rejection, I think. When I was in 6th of 7th grade, my parents MADE ME go to Keith's birthday party. It seemed my gang wanted nothing to do with Keith. I don't know the specific reasons. He was, if memory servers, large and dumpy, wore button up shirts. The kind of thing kids rag on big time. I remember we used to make fun of Steven Bordy's shiny black shoes, but it never led to anything physical.

Subject: Keith
No, I don't remember a sign-up sheet for beating up Keith. We wrote a few
plays together in 3rd grade; Keith, Alan & myself. Then I lost touch w/
him.
But interestingly enough - Hastings is not mentioned in the article; just
Westchester, & Hackley.
There was an article in the Cornell alumni news last month, & the article
stated that Keith was from TARRYTOWN. Now I'm wondering if he does not want
to
give Hastings any credit for his early education.
WHY??
He seemed to be quite a loner at Cornell, & spent most of his time at the
radio station. Was it because he loved it so much, or is that the only part
of
College he really liked?
Keith always marched to the beat of his own drum, but maybe he only liked his
own drum. Maybe he didn't like or trust anyone else.
As they say, it's lonely at the top, even for Keith maybe. But I admire what
he has done, how he has done it, and maybe he is not as different as some of
us from Hastings thought he was. We all have some scars, and we have all
dealt w/ them in different ways.
Did anyone pick a reunion date? How am I supposed to invite Keith??
Happy Tax Day.

I haven't been part of the ongoing 50th bday reunion discussion, nor have I read it, so forgive me if this has already been discussed....I noticed that at some point (not sure how long ago) somebody suggested coordinating the reunion and perhaps subsequent ones with the June Waterfront festival. I think that's a great idea for several reasons....scheduling could be easier for many, since so many of us take summer vacations that can't always be adjusted for summer reunions, and for those with kids on the West Coast and Florida (and perhaps elsewhere?) with school starting earlier, and those with summer sports programs requiring kids to be at home by mid-August, etc.--plus, I've heard that Waterfront festival is wonderful and it'd be a real taste of Hastings old and new. I realize that schools don't end til late June and so this could be difficult for West Coasters flying in for a weekend....but, seems that the summer planning means many can't come either....what do others think?

Psychologists would tell us that this rejection became the fuel for his later success. That, and getting underpaid for shoveling snow. So take heart--you may actually have had something to do with Keith's tremendous success! Or not...
It doesn't snow as much here as it does back east. This part of Michigan (west side, Grand Rapids) gets light snowfall over the course of a couple of days, amounting to maybe 3 inches on average. Closer to Lake Michigan, and in the county south of us, they get dumped on with lake effect snow, but the odd geography of the Lake prevents the larger lake effect bands from reaching us. Thankfully, The Big Lake runs north-south in its longest measurement, not east-west like Lakes Erie and Ontario. First, it'd wipe Milwaukee off the map. But also, as long as it is, we'd have some lake effect storms of BIblical proportions. Wait, it didn't snow in the Bible, did it? Well, of Ice Age proportions then.

Subject: Re: Keith
Well, I always say I'M from Tarrytown, too. (Not really.)
That loner tag might not be accurate, but just a perception belonging to Cornell folks not connected with the radio station. At college I spent a lot of my time (free and when I should have been at class/studying) at the radio station. It may be that, to the Cornell population as a whole, he seemed like a loner, but if it was anything like the Brockport station, you were never alone. Radio people hung out with other radio people. We just gravitated to each other. Truthfully, the funniest and funnest people I met at college were all from the station--I never met anyone in any of my classes that interested me.
It would be very strange going to a college reunion. Other than a couple of people from Hastings and Great Neck (where I went to elementary/middle school), I didn't make any connection with the campus beyond the station. I definitely wasn't a loner--I doubt Keith was, either. It's just that the station felt like home, the way the Rathskellar felt like home to the bar rats, etc. In fact, I recall going down to the Rat only a couple of times--always with a bunch of other people from the station. Same was true when I went out "on the town" in Brockport.
Undoubtedly anyone who knew of me outside the station thought of me as a loner--they never saw me except in classes. I have almost no recollection of college that doesn't include radio staff, the station, or broadcasting. On the other hand, I remember very fondly Don Wynes, with whom I had a terrific relationship (Barry knows him, coincidentally), and Paul Barsky, an injured baseball player-turned-dj who eventually made it big in Philly, and a guy named Jeff whom we all adored but who left school halfway through his fourth year of college (what would have been his senior year if he'd actually gone to class more often) because of a girl. There was the hottest girl on campus who worked as our receptionist/female commercial voice, and maybe that had a little to do with us constantly being in the station.
You get new albums in almost before they hit the stores. People on-air have great senses of humor. It's an enormously creative environment. Nah, Keith wasn't a loner. He just found the one place where he felt accepted, valuable, and befriended, and why leave?

Jill,
I think the archived email record will show I agreed with you initially. I was trying to instigate just such a combined event, but then there was a discussion about June being too soon for a number of classmates (working teachers or classmates with kids still in school) and it was left that local people and people who couldn't make the 50th birthday bash would go to the June 2nd fundraiser. Those who could go to both, would. (I will try.)
That said, have things changed out there?...
Seeing as I still don't have disposable time to poll the group for a date, I LOVE that Julie put it all on the line and chose one herself. I'm ready to fall in line. Anyone disagree, SPEAK UP NOW PLEASE. And speak up on which weekend we should use? August 3,4,5 or August 10,11,12?
Whatever weekend we decide, those or others, UNLESS SOMEONE SUGGESTS AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR NEW EVENTS, I propose and will flesh out the following low up-front cost events based on our previous "research:"
FRIDAY AFTERNOON - School tour (if it can be arranged) or hike through Hillside woods
FRIDAY NIGHT- Maud's for 50th Birthday Party dinner and/or drinks
SATURDAY DAY - 50th Birthday Party Picnic at whatever park we can reserve (or the "Glenn Martin's" American Legion Hall if it rains)
SATURDAY NIGHT- 50th Birthday Party at Harvest, or the new restaurant at 19 Main, or something someone cooks up (Billy? Niki?)
SUNDAY MORNING - 50th Birthday Party Breakfast at the Center Restaurant (or watching the teachers play stickball behind the school and brunch with them at Maud's at 1PM)
SUNDAY AFTERNOON - 50th Birthday Party at the pool and/or hike Hillside woods
SUNDAY NIGHT- 50th Birthday Party at some bar somewhere (or that murder mystery, Niki?)
MONDAY - School tour (if Friday didn't work out)
TUESDAY - begin planning our 60th Birthday Party
Not.
As we know more, I'll start updating the website so we can all be on the same page at the same time. (Forgive me, but I will be slower at that than in years past. Hoping to semi-retire by the summer though and only work 40 hour weeks.)
Okay. Someone run with this please...

Of those two options, however, the most likely for me to be able to make is

seeing the volume). I hope there will be a decision soon, as I don't

it is, in case my schedule frees up. I will not be able to make the June
festival.
Now that 50 is behind me I can say it's interestingly liberating. Happy

birthday I will always remember ... at least until I get Alzheimers).
Tchau,

Please share this idea with as many people as you can.....
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN
GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer
buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going
up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea. This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the
"don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last
April or May!
It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might
go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed
at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves
by refusing to buy gas.
It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever
thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read
on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap.
Me too! It is currently $2.79 for regular unleaded in my town.
Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think
that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take
aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take
action.
The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone
in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting
ourselves.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price
war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from
the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices.
If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil
gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep
reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more
(30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and
so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have
reached over THREE MILLION consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then
30 million people will have been contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more
people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting
together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not
buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP
THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

I figured it was a hoax. Like the Neiman-Marcus Cookie recipe. Like Bill Gates giving us money. We switched from an anonymous web-based system to an email-based one to prevent this sort of thing getting through. I moderated every email until the "Email Explosion of '06" when I backed away and let things run itself. Still, every month hundreds of spam emails sent to hastings@art-cetera.com are trapped by software and never get any farther than my computer.
So on my way home from work today, I was hit with a flurry of emails allegedly from Heather Schmeltz Grimm. Someone hacked in, I thought. What else could this be? I would get to the bottom of it, and fast.
Almost at my door, I recevied David Walters' email, in which he seemed to buy the bogus message hook, line and sinker. How embarrassing, I thought. And how would I break it to everyone when I did the forensics and learned Heather wasn't Heather?...
Well, I looked over the computer and its software, and based on my preliminary findings, here is what I have to say...
We should move the 50th Birthday Sunday Morning Breakfast from the Center Restaurant to the Bisbee Breakfast Club....
Nice to have you back, Heather.

Alan,
After seeing the photo of Heather, how could you think it was a hoax? She was
quite easy to recognize even today! But it was pretty incredible to hear from
her after all this time. And Heather, if you're reading this, my sister Laura
Shillinglaw Sakshaug lives in Mesa, Ariz. Not sure how far that is from you.
Best.

Alan,
It's about ?three? hours, but we have people from up that way who come
to Bisbee because we're a mile high and it's cooler. We'd love to feed her.
Thank you for the compliment, 30 some odd years it's good to know there
is still a resemblance to my youth.
More later.

HHS Alumni Party
Sat June 2 6PM - 10 PM
@ Hastings High School
In The Cochrane Gym and outside of the gym in the courtyard
Free to attend. But this is a fundraiser sponsored by The Hastings Youth Council,
a group that funds programs designed to support the current generation of Hastings
Youth. So we hope that everybody in attendance will contribute some funds to
help the kids in Hastings.
Please pass this along to all Hastings High School Alumni. More info at http://www.hastingshighschool.com
and http://www.hastingshighschool.com/party.php
We are planning to have the biggest and best HHS Alumni party ever. Alumni from
every Hastings High School class are invited. We want this to be for HHS graduates
of all ages. We will have so much room that everybody should feel comfortable
being there.
There will be a cookout in the courtyard, which is right adjacent to the Cochrane
Gym. We will also have full use of the gym itself. So if there is bad weather,
it won't interrupt our plans.
There will be a couple of live bands performing outside in the courtyard. And
we'll have an Ipod shuffle of music going inside in the gym.
Sorry that the school is booting us out of the facility at the early hour of
10PM, but I'm sure that lots of people will then head out locally afterwards.
So try and be there on the early side.
Please bring old photos! If you have extra copies of old photos, please bring
them. We are going to put photos all over the walls of the gym for the night.
And then we'd like to put a bunch of them online at a later date. If you bring
photos, please put years and names on the back of the photos.
Thanks so much. I really look forward to seeing people there.

I'm probably the only person who cares about this, but Bisbee is world-famous to birders: It's about ground zero for the world's best hummingbird watching, and Heather, I quite imagine the hummingbird season gets things (ahem, sorry Jamie, can't resist) humming around the restaurant? Or do the birdbrains stay in posh b&bs and eat al fresco beside their bedrooms?
For a couple of years I've been thinking about coming down and birding around there--the Chiricahua Mountains especially, but my understanding is the funky (that's how it's described in the birding literature--"funky") town of Bisbee sees its fair share of hummers as well? (I mean, hummingbirds. Hummerwatching isn't that interesting a pastime, even compared to birdwatching--they all look the same except for the color, and they move too fast along the roads to stalk!)
Nice to hear from you again. Your picture has you as pretty as the day you left Hastings, and I'm sure the youthfulness of your appearance owes a lot to the youthfulness of the town you live in!

Subject: Re: I figured it was a hoax...
You're right Greg, great birding and we don't get that many of them in the
restaurant, they are usually up and trekking before we open at 7 and don't
get back until after 3 and we're closed. Good pun though. We don't hurt
for business and most days we are very grateful, but it is getting close to
our vacation time (July 3-25) so we're getting a little weary of the public
and responsibility.
Bisbee's residents are a group of eclectics that have chosen an alternative
lifestyle, a good mix of artists, intellectuals, corporate dropouts along
with the few exiled trust funders, hippies and tramps making money off their
weirdness. The town however is very quaint with lots of old Victorian
building and lots of craftsman cottage homes. It is worth a visit and the
Chiricahua Mountains are close.
I attribute any youthfulness to necessity, I can't get old, I'm working too
hard! (there is a smile on my face)
Ciao,
Heather

Greg,
Next time your in Hastings, come over to my side of the river. You
would be amazed how wildlife in and near the river has made a huge comeback.
Seals are sighted regularly. Stripe Bass are plentiful too.
As for birds, Cormorants are so plentiful as to be a nuisance.
Peregrine Falcons can be seen over the river hunting small birds.
In the winter, I have seen over a dozen Bald Eagles hanging out on the
ice flows. This truly is an amazing site. Ravens have returned after
an absence of 200 years.
My favorite is in the Autumn when the Ospreys are looking for fish. I
have seen them with fish in their talons but never an actual catch from
the river.
It is great to see the results of the Environmental Movement of the
1970s. Can't wait to see what can happen in the next thirty years!

Hi Alan & others-
Actually, I said I most likely cannot make it either of the August weekends,
but possibly could be there for a little bit the weekend of Aug. 3rd (not too
likely though).
I am hoping to make it for the June 2nd Jeff Edelman Hastings Youth Council and the all-generations alumni event. Sounds great to have the opportunity to see people from so many classes! Anyone else going to be there?

Subject: Our 50th Birthday Party
THIS IS A ONE TIME EMAILING TO THOSE WHO WERE ON THIS LIST, BUT OPTED OUT. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE FOLLOW UP EMAILS, NOR CAN YOU ANSWER THIS EMAIL, UNLESS YOU EMAIL "HASTINGS@ART-CETERA.COM" WITH "SUBSCRIBE" IN THE SUBJECT.)
YOU WILL LOVE THE NEWEST PICTURE POSTED AT "www.art-cetera.com/hastings." Please go there to play the "WHO'S ASSES ARE THESE?" game. Amy Huelsman found the famous March 19th, 1974 clipping of the four streakers. WHO WERE THEY? I have my suspicions and would like to honor these brave lads as part of our 50th Birthday bash (and dare them to do it again).
Speaking of the birthday bash, except for Jill (who knows I love her, because I called her during our last Maud's gathering when she forgot the date), the assumption is that the first weekend in August is best for everyone. So let's put our energies into it.
I'll post our usual extensive list of events for Friday through Sunday, but I put a call in to Billy K. about Saturday night. He -- and others -- had some definite opinions about Saturday that would take some planning and money, so stay tuned. (Remember though, last time, we just showed up at Harvest and met the Clinton Family. So I'm up for that again and will give them a head's up call; The Clintons, not Harvest.)
As in the past, I will create a page on our site with the names of people planning to attend. Please RSVP to this email NOW so we know this isn't just some whim and that we are really going to eat ice cream and play "Spin the Donkey" and "Pin the tail on the Bottle" while drinking heavily.
Alan
PS. OH, AND THIS IS PRETTY NICE... Our reunions are the yardstick by which all others are measured. Take a look at this link. The class of '77 is having THEIR 30th reunion this August, and they have patterned it after us! And this isn't the first time this has happened, so be proud!
