Hastings Trustees are well on their way to slaughtering the deer in

you want to stop the killing.
http://www.change.org/petitions/view/kill_them_all_for_eating_tulips_say_no_to_hastings_on_hudsons_plans_to_kill_deer

To keep up with the proposed deer slaughter in Hastings please friend
"Buck Vandeer" on Facebook. Thanks a lot.


Dear Mayor Swiderski,

I previously asked you why you didn't educate the residents of
Hastings on how they can prevent Lyme without killing the deer in the
town. I am aware that the other reason you state as justification for
the deer cull is destruction of the environment. Unfortunately a
timeline of your decision making process as reflected in the
broadcasts of the Trustee meetings reveals that you decided to kill
the deer BEFORE you saw the demonstration of the enclosed understory
compared to the unenclosed understory.

When you initially brought up the possibility of sterilization, you
called the requirement that it be done as part of a University study a
"legal road block." In fact that is no legal road block at all, and
you required to do the same kind of thing for a cull. These facts
clearly show that you were predisposed to kill rather than sterilize.
It may take a little more time and money, but fast and cheap is no
reason to take an ethical shortcut. Let's be honest with people when
stating your reasons for deciding to kill. The record does not
support your version of the decision making process, and it's
insulting to not be told the truth.

Regards, Corey Shaff

Subject: SAVE THE DATE - 6/5/10!

Recently some of us have been talking about an event that could become an
annual affair - a casual, whomever-is-available June cookout for all
Hastings classes, to see old friends, classmates, neighbors and
teachers. This came to the surface after the recent and premature losses of
George Capuano, John Rudd, Tommy Callahan, and Tunney Maher.

Donny and Barbara Hope Waterous want to host this first one at their home at
11 Warren Street in Hastings. It will be 6/5/10 from 4pm to whenever. Bring
your own food and booze. Grill and ice will be provided.

ANYONE WHO HAS GONE TO HASTINGS is invited, but we're really pushing the
classes from '72 to '78 (which happen to be Barbara and Donny's years).

Barbara is setting up an Evite site for this event so we can all post
questions and thoughts, and keep track of the RSVP list. Stay tuned for more
info on that. (Should be quite the shindig. Conservatively, if we get only
20 people per targeted class, we'll have 140 in attendance, so don't miss
out!)

THIS IS NOT TO DECREASE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FOLLOWING EVENT:
So it looks like the Class of '75 will have a reunion (open to other classes as well)
Homecoming Weekend, the first or second weekend in October. More news to come.
(For those who can't make that, please consider this June cookout as another chance to "come feel the
warmth!")

I don't live in Hastings so I defer my opinion to those that do. There is

Comprehensive Review of Deer Overpopulation Problems and Control" (committee

My niece has Lyme Disease which she contracted on a trip to PA a few years
ago. She is now 23 years old, struggling to get through college while
having to spend hours being hooked up to IV drips of the strongest
anti-biotics, etc. The most recent aspect of the disease has shown itself as permanent
nerve damage to her eyes and encephalitis. She had a very difficult and
painful spinal tap this week to determine what can be done about her
swelling brain. Trust me, she doesn't deserve any of this. I'm not saying that
the Deer in Hastings caused this, but there are a hundred plus residents in
Hastings that have contracted Lyme Disease from Deer ticks. Good luck
Hastings!!

THANK YOU, JULIE!

So sorry to hear of your niece's condition, I too have heard of too many
cases of Lyme Disease in the Tri-State area and especially here in Hastings.
I currently live in Hastings again and have an 8 year son that I have to
regularly check for ticks as all of the parents of young ones do, not to
mention myself, twice in the past three years I've been on a preventative
antibiotic regiment to ward off the disease.

As a child growing up here, I was always running around Hillside woods with
my friends, none off us ever found ticks embedded in our flesh contracted
Lyme Disease, nor did we ever spot a deer.

The deer population is out of control here in the village, I almost hit one
at the 5 corners intersection not too long ago and have seen them wandering
thru the business district. They are decimating the landscaping, no one can
garden, most of us are forced to erect hideous looking fences or netting to
protect the established landscaping that was planted when these beautiful
old houses were built, and not to mention the threat of Lyme.

The village has finally awakened, listened to the majority of residents whom
have had it, not only in Hastings but throughout the River Towns, and is
hopefully taking measures to cull these herds. It's long over due!

Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Mother Nature and wildlife, however
this situation poses a health threat as well as a threat to the natural
environment that we all enjoy here in the village and would like to
preserve.

Julie - the clinical reality of Lyme is something everyone in deer-infested
areas has to contend with - especially, now, your niece. You're adding a
vital counterpoint, and I'm so sorry a young person has to contend with
such physical hardship.

Maybe someone else knows -- do the towns proposing to shoot deer have any
real data about viable, more humane alternatives, or are they just taking
the cheap and easy way out? Do they even know if towns which intstitute
hunting to reduce herds actually have lower (verifiable) incidences of Lyme?
How about data on alternative methods?

I have had Lyme disease and I edit a Lyme-expert physician's medical
journal papers on Lyme. Deer do not carry Lyme bacteria in their
bloodstream and are not the cause of the Lyme epidemic. Birds and
rodents carry and spread Lyme through the nymphal ticks that feed on
them. Killing deer would do nothing to reduce the incidence of Lyme
disease and may even increase it, as the ticks find other animal hosts
that do transmit Lyme. Eliminating backyard bird feeders would be far
more useful. I have been fighting the proposal to kill deer here in
Irvington- which may be on temporary hold for financial reasons. I
have presented the Mayor and board of trustees with accurate
information. The two meetings on the deer issue that took place last
fall in Irvington were videotaped. The Mayors of Hastings and
Irvington spoke, as did I. I recommend that anyone interested in this
issue watch the Hastings mayor's videotaped statement and hear my
response at the following meeting when I was permitted to reply. Call
the Irvington village hall and ask where you can get those two tapes.
I believe Hastings residents will find this of interest. Your mayor
is woefully misinformed and, in my opinion, biased, The Hastings
mayor said he was surprised that there has been so little opposition
to Hastings' plan to kill deer. He said that Hastings "rolled
over" (that's a quote).
Best wishes,

All good questions Jane.
I live with many deer here in NW CT. and check myself for ticks and
have been on preventative antibiotics too. Hunters have asked to hunt
the deer on my property and I haven't allowed it. Other deer would
move right in.

Hastings is not an island. Dobbs Ferry is proposing a sterilization
program which is both more humane and more effective. The answer is
that Hastings is taking the cheap and what they believe to be fastest
way to an end. But culling even on an annual basis will accomplish
little because deer don't observe town boundaries.

Dr. Padawer's report stressed that the deer be treated humanely. He
stressed that if they were killed, they should be tranquilized first.
That is not allowed in NY. Dr Padawer would not condone trapping the
deer in nets and then killing them with a steel bolt to their brains.
The deer panic and struggle under the net often breaking their own legs.

Hastings can approach the deer population the way Dobbs Ferry is
proposing, or they can change the laws to allow them to cull the deer
in a more humane way. There's a lot of assumptions made about deer
and lyme, and deer and environmental damage that is simply not true.
There's a lot of information on the Buck Vandeer page on Facebook,
along with some entertainment to break the devastating reality of what
Hastings is planning to do this winter.

We have the wild Turkeys where I live. They are quite large and it is

They are truly great creatures. And... (hide the children, turn off the
lights...) taste great when cured outside for a few days.

When I noted they should be protected I was quite serious. They are an
ecological necessity, but that doesn't mean hunting should be out of the
question. I suppose living in California for a few decades has softened
me up on this sport, but it's the rewards I like you get from
hunting...especially the more hunters you know...that are great. A game
sized bird is upwards of 30lbs or more. The key is strict regulations
and limited seasons (like with deer, as it happens).

I still believe that huntings is better...at every single level...than
going to the supermarket to get your feedlot raised factory protein.

A book I highly recommend: /The Omnivores Dilemma/ by Michael Pollen.
Someone on this list a while ago recommended it to me. Outstanding case
for organic food (and hunting).

Frankly I have had enough. The actions proposed by "mayor" Swiderski
are nothing less than a HORROR SHOW. The "mayor" refuses to present
the REALITY of what it is he's proposing, and moreover it's CHANCES
FOR SUCCESS. He has placed all of his eggs in the Dr. Jacque Padawar
deer report basket, a basket that stresses the culling of deer be done
in A HUMANE MANNER, utilizing a tranquilizer dart. That however
couldn't be farther from what the 'mayor' is planning. I offer that
the mayor has elected to ignore and or deny, the very morality of his
actions. He instead chooses to behave the politician and quiet the
frustrated, entitled voices, ( who give definition to the word,
"petty") and to do so at any moral cost. Electing to deny the
consequences of these proposed actions, both IN THE WOODS, and OUT. IF
YOU HAVEN'T THE MONEY, "MR. MAYOR", TO DO THE "RIGHT THING", TO DO
"THE HUMANE THING", TO TAKE ACTION THAT WILL SERVE TO "IMPROVE" THE
PLIGHT OF THE DEER, NOT THE LANDSCAPING OF JEFF BOGART'S BACKYARD,
THEN I SUGGEST YOU DO NOTHING AT ALL!!! Would you rather newborn fawns
stray throughout your village into traffic, because YOU SIR HAVE HIRED
KILLERS TO TAKE THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS FROM THEM, rendering them
unaware of WHAT A CAR IS!!!!????? Explain that one to your kids.
Azalea bushes will be eaten, shit happens, and IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN,
put up a FUCKING FENCE. Dogs, and less than attentive human beings may
contract Lyme disease. DEER WILL COME AND THEY WILL KEEP COMING!!
HASTINGS IS NOT AN ISLAND!! KILLING DEER, in the inhumane manner you
propose, without being joined by the surrounding townships is NOT
GOING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!! UNLESS OF COURSE YOU FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIVES OF one JEFF BOGART, (MR. "KILL THEM. KILL THEM ALL"). THE
FACT THAT THERE WAS NOT OUTRAGE OVER THE COMMENTS MADE BY MR. BOGART,
IS IN AND OF ITSELF PERHAPS A GREATER OUTRAGE!!!!!! You are supposed
to the mayor, THE MAYOR, and you sat there and allowed such ABHORRENT,
TWISTED, DISGUSTING COMMENTS to be spewed in public chambers, and at
their completion, you THANK HIM FOR THEM?????? I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE
A FORMER RESIDENT. In fact, I AM EMBARRASSED FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF
HASTINGS ON HUDSON. This isn't just any town you are serving
Swiderski, this is HASTINGS ON HUDSON, it is and always has been a
special community. Do you really think that I and others are going to
sit idly be and allow you to destroy all that this town is, over a
fucking azalea bush???? I urge all to WATCH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEE
MEETINGS http://whoh-tv.org/ and see for yourselves the boards
attitude and the mayor's curious awareness/denial of what he may be
about to embark on. Watch as residents Gonder and Bogart, along with
the "mayor", and trustees, laugh at the prospect of THIS proposed
GENOCIDE. Local new stations already have been made aware. All
residents of Hastings should do the same. It is best to watch the
discourse and meetings in their entirety, but here are links to some
clips. "KILL THEM ALL" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no6vwvr3XN0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzcRU1qjiF8
Further, the professional 'Deer Management' concern that you are
considering putting in your employ, are nothing but hired killers.
WHITE BUFFALO, are a DISASTER!!!!!! They have settled suits out of
court, while others are currently pending. They were sited for CRUELTY
and ineptness. They nor any of the other "PRO'S" in the field, whom
keep the blood off the mayor's hands and offer him such comfort, are
nothing approaching professionals, nothing of the sort. They are
merely KILLERS, and sloppy ineffective ones at that. I urge all to
watch the videos, and moreover listen to the HORRIFIC SOUNDS of baited
and trapped deer as they thrash about, often breaking legs prior to a
slaughter bolt being driven in their heads. A bolt that often times
misses it's target, due to the animals hysterical attempts to free
itself, requiring that it be shot again. Dr. Padawar stressed humane
action, he stressed again and again that HE DID NOT WANT THE DEER TO
SUFFER. You claim the people of Hastings are behind you. Well the
people of Hastings would not be behind this sir, and this is what you
are proposing. But they have no idea, NOT YET ANYWAY. 'Mr. mayor', the
stain of this KILL WILL REMAIN ON THE TOWN OF HASTINGS LONG AFTER THEY
HAVE HOSED THE BLOOD OF THOSE DEAD DEER FROM OFF THE PAVEMENT OF
HILLSIDE. As much as you try to sanitize what you are proposing, these
actions simply cannot be sanitized. I respectively suggest that you
refer to the comments of your own trustee BRUCE JENNINGS, (perhaps the
only sane head you have beside you on the dais) per the root causes of
this issue, and employ some PAUSE. FOR YOU SIR, ARE BEHAVING LIKE A
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR, NOT A MAYOR!!!!!! Your buttoned up rhetoric, I
CAN ASSURE YOU, will be systemically unraveled in full view of more
than handful of privileged, disgruntled residents on some cozy Tuesday
evening in the confines of chambers. YOU ARE ELECTING TO KILL INNOCENT
DEER. INHUMANELY! I am not some "animal nut", nor some "deer nut". I
and those up in arms over you and your plans realize that for the sake
of the deer their numbers need be lowered. If you need to change laws
in order to do this, humanely, then CHANGE THE LAW. Show some SACK as
it were 'mayor' and rather than KILLING DEER, an act as currently
proposed that will do nothing but quiet John Gonder etal., CHANGE THE
LAW. Dr. Padawar and others have urged you so. The number of deer
needs to be lowered, humanely. Your inferences that "Hastings will
lead on this, 'if we have to, go alone', is off the graph hubris, as
well I might add, moral and political suicide. Rather than playing BIG
FISH in the little pond, head to deeper waters and DEMAND that the
D.E.C. and state legislators do something to change the laws. Not for
Jeff Bogart and his desires to have his backyard returned to him from
'the long legged rats (deer)', as he calls them, but for the deer
themselves. Don't solve "your problem" mayor, don't wilt to petty,
privileged, inconvenienced yuppies. You are part of an eco-system,
whether you like it or not. AGAIN. HASTINGS IS NOT AN ISLAND!! YOU ARE
CHOOSING FLAT OUT, GENOCIDE, and to make matters worse, proposing this
horror WITHOUT so much as having tried NOT ONE PRIOR REMEDY. And for
God, I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING 'your get out of jail free card',
"THIS IS NOT A HEALTH ISSUE." YOU KNOW IT, I KNOW IT, AND EVERYONE IN

Leaving myself and other humane, human beings, to deal with what you

AND MAKE THE TOWN OF HASTINGS AWARE OF THE TRUTH.I ASK YOU, "MAYOR."
WHO LEFT YOU AS THE ARBITER OF WHAT LIVES AND DIES???????? Have you

your actions will be severe, and will leave a stain on the village of
HASTINGS-on-HUDSON that will be immeasurable. I urge all reading this

Subject: RE: Hastings Deer

Lyme disease is largely carried by deer. Fortunately, people are much
vigilant and aware about the disease now, and recognize the symptoms. But
unfortunately, there remain individuals who have recalcitrant disease with
persistent symptoms which can be very debilitating. It is a health hazard.

See the following:
http://www.health.state.ny.us/diseases/communicable/lyme/fact_sheet.htm

As has been discussed on this board, the fact that they are aggressively
infiltrating the area indicates that their food supply from their previous
habitat has been altered. Usually harsh winters, like the one you had this
past winter, coupled with a scarcity of food (normally the case in winter),
naturally decreases the deer population.

Culling, a harsh alternative, in and of itself will not stop deer from
migrating toward food -- and it is not going to totally eliminate the
population and as long as there is a food source, they are going to
reproduce (Bogart is a bit over the top). Hence, if you want to eliminate
the deer, you need to cut off or significantly reduce their food source. But
since people don't want to stop growing flowers and plants in their back
yard, a safer alternative is to try using ecofriendly repellents like coyote
urine powder. There are other products that contain putrescent egg, which
emits smell similar to an animal protein. Garlic effects their senses of
smell as well. Capsaicin, sometimes also added as an ingredient, creates
burning sensation which abruptly deters deer.

This would take a community effort but it may be cheaper and certainly more
human than culling.

My condolences to James and Thomas whose father Martin Gardner passes
away.
Anyone else besides me hang out in Tom's basement playing with the
puzzles in the fridge?

I only met Martin once or twice, but I still have a few of his books
which at least one of my sons has read. I remember the time I spent
building flexagons, solving cyphers, and I still use techniques he
described to beat the carnival games.

He will be missed.

Martin Gardner, Puzzler and Polymath, Dies at 95

(From the New York Times)

By DOUGLAS MARTIN

Published: May 23, 2010

*


Martin Gardner, who teased brains with math puzzles in Scientific
American for a quarter-century and who indulged his own restless
curiosity by writing more than 70 books on topics as diverse as magic,
philosophy and the nuances of Alice in Wonderland, died Saturday in
Norman, Okla. He was 95.

Colm Mulcahy

Martin Gardner was a prolific and wide-ranging writer.


He had been living in an assisted-living facility in Norman, his son
James said in confirming the death.

Mr. Gardner also wrote fiction, poetry, literary and film criticism, as
well as puzzle books. He was a leading voice in refuting
pseudoscientific theories, from ESP to flying saucers. He was so
prolific and wide-ranging in his interests that critics speculated that
there just had to be more than one of him.

His mathematical writings intrigued a generation of mathematicians, but
he never took a college math course. If it seemed the only thing this
polymath could not do was play music on a saw, rest assured that he
could, and quite well.

“Martin Gardner is one of the great intellects produced in this country
in the 20th century,” said Douglas Hofstadter, the cognitive scientist.

W. H. Auden, Arthur C. Clarke, Jacob Bronowski, Stephen Jay Gould and
Carl Sagan were admirers of Mr. Gardner. Vladimir Nabokov mentioned him
in his novel “Ada” as “an invented philosopher.” An asteroid is named
for him.

Mr. Gardner responded that his life was not all that interesting,
really. “It’s lived mainly inside my brain,” he told The Charlotte
Observer in 1993.

His was a clarifying intelligence: he said his talent was asking good
questions and transmitting the answers clearly and crisply. In
“Annotated Alice” (1960), Mr. Gardner literally rained on the parade of
his hero, Lewis Carroll.

Carroll writes of a “golden afternoon” in the first line of “Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland,” a reference to an actual day rowing on the
Thames. Mr. Gardner found that the day, July 4, 1862, was, in truth,
“cool and rather wet.”

Mr. Gardner’s questions were often mathematical. What is special about
the number 8,549,176,320? As Mr. Gardner explained in “The Incredible
Dr. Matrix” (1976), the number is the 10 natural integers arranged in
English alphabetical order.

The title of a book he published in 2000 was calculated to tweak
religious fundamentalists — “Did Adam and Eve Have Navels?” — suggesting
that the first man and woman had had umbilical cords. This time he gave
no answer.

“Gardner has an old-fashioned, almost 19th-century, Oliver Wendell
Holmes kind of American mind — self-educated, opinionated, cranky and
utterly unafraid of embarrassment,” Adam Gopnik wrote in The New York
Times Book Review in 1999.

Martin Gardner was born Oct. 21, 1914, in Tulsa, Okla., where his
father, a petroleum geologist, started an oil company. As a boy he liked
magic tricks, chess, science and collecting mechanical puzzles.

Unbeknownst to his mother at the time, he learned to read by looking at
the words on the page as she read him L. Frank Baum’s Oz books. As an
adult, he wrote a sequel to Baum’s “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” called
“Visitors From Oz,” in which Dorothy encounters characters from the
“Alice” books and Geraldo Rivera.

Mr. Gardner majored in philosophy at the University of Chicago, from
which he graduated in 1936. In 1937 he returned to Oklahoma to be
assistant oil editor of The Tulsa Tribune at $15 a week. Quickly bored,
he returned to the University of Chicago, where he worked in press
relations and moonlighted selling magic kits.

He joined the Navy and served on a destroyer. While doing night watch
duty, he thought up crazy plots for stories, including “The Horse on the
Escalator,” which he sold to Esquire magazine.

After a stint as editor of Humpty Dumpty, a children’s magazine, Mr.
Gardner began a long relationship with Scientific American with an
article in 1956 on hexaflexagons, strips of paper that can be folded in
certain ways to reveal faces besides the two that were originally on the
front and back. When the publisher suggested that he write a column
about mathematical games, he jumped at the chance.

By his account, Mr. Gardner then rushed out to secondhand bookstores to
find books about math puzzles, an approach he used for years to keep
just ahead of his monthly deadline. “The number of puzzles I’ve invented
you can count on your fingers,” he told The Times last year.

Dr. Hofstadter, who succeeded Mr. Gardner at Scientific American, said
Mr. Gardner achieved elegant results by drawing on fields from logic to
the philosophy of science to literature. He conveyed “the magical
quality of mathematics,” Dr. Hofstadter said.

Mr. Gardner, who lived in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., for most of the
years he wrote for Scientific American, resigned from the magazine in
1981. Two years later he began a column in Skeptical Inquirer, “Notes of
a Fringe Watcher,” which he continued to write until 2002. He had
already begun beating this drum, debunking psuedoscience, in his book
“Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science.” He helped found the
Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.

In The New York Review of Books in 1982, Stephen Jay Gould, the
evolutionary biologist, called Mr. Gardner “the single brightest beacon
defending rationality and good science against the mysticism and
anti-intellectualism that surround us.”

There was much more, including his annotated editions of “Casey at the
Bat” and “The Night Before Christmas.” In his philosophical writing Mr.
Gardner rejected speculative metaphysics because it could not be proved
logically or empirically. He wrestled with religion in essays and in a
novel that described his personal journey from fundamentalism, “The
Flight of Peter Fromm” (1973). He ultimately found no reason to believe
in anything religious except a human desire to avoid “deep-seated
despair.” So, he said, he believed in God.

After retiring from Scientific American, Mr. Gardner lived for many
years in Hendersonville, N.C. His wife, the former Charlotte Greenwald,
died in 2000. Besides his son James, of Norman, he is survived by
another son, Thomas, of Asheville, N.C., and three grandchildren. For
all Mr. Gardner’s success in refuting those who take advantage of
people’s gullibility, he sometimes could not help having fun with it
himself. In one Scientific American column, he wrote that dwelling in
pyramids could increase everything from intelligence to sexual prowess.
In another he asked readers to remember the holiday that begins the
month of April.

“I just play all the time,” he said in an interview with Skeptical
Inquirer in 1998, “and am fortunate enough to get paid for it.”

Hi All,

Looking forward to the BBQ this weekend. A few of us have been talking about
getting together before the event in order to spend more time hanging out.
We've decided to meet at the park along the river in Hastings around 1 pm on
Saturday. We're going to bring whatever we want to eat and drink and just
kick back for a while until heading over to Donny's house. Anyone else who
thinks this sounds like a good idea is invited to join us.

I don't know how to broadcast this notice to all the folks who are invited
to the BBQ, so, if someone else does, feel free to pass along the info.

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!

All Best,
Corey

I'm sure the current students could use a good laugh. I would have to check -it may have to be prior to the game. During halftime of the last home game, the Hudsonettes kick, then there is the Senior Rose Ceremony. This usually takes a bit longer than normal, so they have to get the OK from the officials as it is. Sounds like a fun idea though.
Does everyone know that the Hudsonettes were started by a group of young ladies who graduated in 1960. I got to meet with them 2 weeks ago. We took photos and they sent me an "old" one.
A reunion would be fun!

Seems like Barbara Schmidt should get a special award for coming all the
way from Australia, instead of being left off the list. :-)

for hosting this event. It was amazing
Other attendees you may have missed?

Sue Stein Klubock & Steve
Nancy Newman & spouse
Liz Matthews
Amy Farber
Ed Weinberg
There were A LOT of people, & hard to see everyone once it got dark. My
fault for arriving on the later side.

Have a great summer & see you at our 35th.

Caroline Forcheskie ~ and Donny, my brother, Carl, told me that your Dad and My Uncle Bert (who is from Shamokin PA), were together in the same unit in WWII! Forcheskie is not a common name;)~ HOWEVER, I do have a great-cousin who is in the BB Hall of Fame ~ I found his signed Baseball: Stanley Coveleskie, who played on the Yankees with Babe Ruth & Lou Gerhig!!! My Great Grandmother & his mother were sisters:)

Thank you Donny and Barbara - it was an amazing event...but then again ...it always is when our HoH family reunites!! Special thanks to you both for hosting and sharing your beautiful home with us all! Bennett Fischer and family also attended and that would be "Cheryl" Becker..and Caroline Forcheskie.

A special thanks to Bill Richards for sharing fond memories of my brother Greg and their first jump from an aircraft.

Another special thanks to Alan...you are a special man...

Greetings,

Thanks again Barbara and Donny for such a great party!

It is Cheryl Becker whose first name is missing.
Debbie Rowell's husband is Allen Bushey.
I don't think Alexis Artel came with anyone, but his sister was there.
Katy Artel
Peter Davidian
Tom Charlap
Amy Agüero (class of '82) her brother Gabe was in my class ('77). She
was with a friend of around her age whose name I can't recall

Also I would like to clarify that Ruth Higgs who came with me to the
party is not my wife, nor is she from Hastings. It never occurred to
me that there would be any confusion about that because so many
Hastings people know Valerie Naranjo, my wife of 29 years. It wasn't
until we got there that I realized it was of course natural for people
who haven't seen me in a long time to assume we were a couple. Ruth
has been my good friend for 30 years. I invited her because she knows
so many people from Hastings, I knew she would have fun reconnecting
with some of HER old Hastings friends. I just thought I'd clarify that
to avoid confusion in the future.

Hope to see everyone again soon,

Barry

I'm so tempted to write "You mean nobody saw me there?"
But that would be childish, right?

I am so thankful to Donnie and Barbara for their wonderful spirit of giving, especially in these tough times. I also would like to take this opportunity to share blessings and protection for my schoolmates. My brother, John Morabit is officially retired it has been a very emotional time for him, so I am very glad that all things worked and that all of you wonderful people gave him such an amazing gift of love and admiration. It really helped him get through this emotional time. Once again thank you and God bless you all.

If there was any doubt on a Reunion date, the chance to have a Hudsonette (and why not also
Hastings Cheerleader?) Reunion at a Homecoming game -- either before, during
halftime or after -- is just too good to miss. Plus Homecoming weekend will
add many more events than our open-to-all-classes Friday night drinks at
Maud's, Saturday School Tour / Picnic / Softball Game, Saturday Night
Optional Dinner at a Restaurant and drinks, Sunday Brunch / Pool Day. For
example, many teachers will return to Hastings that weekend to attend award
assemblies and other multi-class functions to which we will be invited via
this email server as they are planned.

So based on our previous voting, and the reasons listed above, our best bet
for the most interaction and fun is Homecoming Weekend, October 23rd, 2010.

Any objections?

Alan

Sounds good to me - no objections.

Alan - can you just let us know if this is definite because Southwest is running some incredible deals right now and I wanted to go ahead and get my ticket. I'll wait to hear back from you.

thanks!

Irene

(Editor's Note: Irene doesn't object. Any other last minute objections? If not, this will be definite and we can start planning.
Alan)
