The Internet is truly amazing...
Found:
"One of the business people in my small town of
Bisbee alerted me to your site and I was surprised to see myself featured.
I'm flattered to think so many people remember me so many years ago. It is
humerous to hear the perceptions classmates had of me. I have become used
to being out of step with most of the people around me, a product of moving
so much and having to constantly re-establish relationships.
What a great thing for so many of you to have remained in touch and friends
after so many years.
Hello Jan and Nancy, I do remember you both as friends.
I would love to be able to come to Hastings for the reunion but with a restaurant
it's so hard to break away. My husband and I work the restaurant and it is
all encompassing. We we're the small restaurant featured in last months Gourmet,
The Bisbee Breakfast Club, we do have a web site with the same name.
Isn't it interesting how lives are intertwined and continue to pop up through
out life. It would be so fun to hear all your stories.
Take care all,
Heather Schmeltz Grimm"

Jean Zimmerman's Book Jean's new book is out from Harcourt, The Women of the House: How a Colonial She-Merchant Built a Mansion, a Fortune, and a Dynasty. Classmates might be interested because it chronicles the Philipse family of the Hudson Valley -- she writes a lot about Philipse Manor Hall in Yonkers. The book was a Borders Original Voices selection. Please visit her web site at http://thewomenofthehouse.com. |

January 2007's edition of Euromoney (www.euromoney.com)

Peter Hazou was unable to attend the 25th, but has been participating through this website. An antique car collector, he sent these pictures of his latest aquisition:
Peter wrote: "The Tatra is a T87, which first belonged to the Foreign Ministry in Czechoslovakia for use by spiffy apparachecs before passing on to a factory manager outside of Prague; the factory apparently producing 'teddy bears' for export."

12/01: Ray Paletta usually plays Santa for all his friends' children. This one got wise and said to his father afterwards, "I know that was Ray, but that's OK."
Photo taken by Channel 5 News of Ray fighting a fire in Patterson, NY.
If your memory of our classmate, Doug Nolan, is "fuzzy," this picture shouldn't change anything. It is kind of fuzzy too.
This is the cover art to his CD. Click here for a sample.

Pat Sinatra with our first
grade teacher Mrs. (Marcine) Weiner at Mrs. Weiner's home in Chicago, Passover 2006 |

Photo -Pat Sinatra
Marcine Weiner on her 80th birthday which was 4/21/07.
"My husband and I moved to
Northbrook, Il seventeen years ago to be near Neil our son and his family.
Northbrook is just about the same distance from Chicago as Hastings is from
Manhattan. We are north of Chicago and have made a great adjustment considering
we left such a lovely area as Westchester and moved to the flat lands of Illinois.
But we have two granddaughters who were seven and three when we moved here
and are now young adults. One is in law school here in Chicago and the younger
one is finishing her second year at Tufts.
We still miss Hastings and New York and sometimes we get to make a visit there."
Well wishers can send her birthday greetings at arthurweiner@sbcglobal.net.

"Some photos of me, Lily and Jim (I work for
a pharmaceutical
company, Jim is a Molecular Biologist at Princeton and Lily is 5 1/2. We never
seem to be in any photos together (and
there is nothing in these to confirm we even live in the same house). But
if I
was making this up, I'd look younger, my husband would look buffer, and my
daughter...well, she's perfect!"

Charles J.
Fleming, Jr.
Jan. 10, 1957 - Jun. 17, 2004
It was such a short time ago, we congratulated Chuck Fleming for winning his second term as a Dobbs Ferry trustee (3/18/03) and for being inducted into the Hastings High School Athletic Hall of Fame (10/4/03), and now we mourn his passing. He had a sudden heart attack while jogging at Ardsley's track, 6/17/04, while his son C.J. was at his prom, and with graduation and Father’s Day right around the corner.
(Posted on our site 11/13/99)
