Even More Marvelous, Wonderful Baby News...It's a Boy!
Newly weds, Matthew Elliot Kurlander and his wife Christine Rebecca Lankenau Kurlander (Nightingale '92) welcomed their first baby; John Elliot into the world on August 1, 2008.

The baby was born by biological conception.

Perhaps you remember Matthew, who graduated with the class of '92. Without any doubt the greatest Tennis player to ever grow up in Chappaqua, he now directs every Nike Tennis Camp in the country, helping administer the next generation of American Tennis players, gifted or not talented.

Matthew and Christine's gorgeous baby arrived at 8 pounds and 1 ounce, the exact same weight as the Prince Heavyweight 03 Speedport Platinum OS+ pro tennis racket with the Air Bridge Twin Morph Mega Yoke used by noneother than USTA #94 ranked, Filippo P. Volandri. Coincidence? don't be absurd.

Matthew's proud parents celebrated the birth of their Grandson with some fresh picked lemons.

May the Christian God, the Jewish God, the Catholic God and several other Gods and other mythical creatures bless their new family for a long, healthy, and happy life together.

To Class Of 1973 from 1969 and also 1976
35 years later...that's a lot of water over the big 'Croton Dam' of life...This is just a shout to the bratty classmates I left behind: Tom, John, & Elizabeth Berninger, Laurie & Andy Burns, Scott Brown, Robin Canty, Laurie, Steve, & Abbie Cavalier, Laura Cook & Sister, Mary(Beth)Ferrant, Janice Fontaine, Ken Ivans, Toby Manna, Michael & Peter Marchionne, Ronnie Molze, Nancy Monteiro, Nancy Orser & Bro., Helen Paneiro, Nancy Prater, Ann Sperling, Liz & April Springer, Pam & Jenny Soo, Jill Wheat - just to name a few, and friends of my Bro.; Paul Temple (he wants to hear from yous)! Sorry, my memory needs a prompting and I no longer have my treasured yearbooks of 1973, '70 &'69 as well as my Horace Greeley Chorus Recordings of Charles Gounod's 'Messe Solennelle de Ste Cécile', and Johannes Brahm's 'Requiem' (in Latin), conducted by Mr. Ronald Dunn, with Eugenia B. Day as pianist par excellence, and a host of famous lead singers, whose names escape me now...Anyone know how I can 'recapture the moments' with any available ordering address for the aforementioned? Forgive me my forgetfulness...And now all about me...at 53 (oh yeah, yous are too!) I've had some adventures, some graduations, some major life-changing events, some getting over a few hurdles.

There's a lot of good things left to do.

I'm looking forward to living the next half-century of my life with just as much hopeful expectation as I have the previous one, so how about you all?!!!!...Just to let you know "It gets better", with His Help from above, "One Day At A Time", "Higher Powered"...Gott Blessi Thig!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chicken Fat
Hey, Class of '80! If you had Mr. Baker for gym at Grafflin, you MUST remember the "chicken fat" song! It was part of the President's Fitness Program. I heard it yesterday, on NPR of all places, for the first time in over 30 years and it brought back a rush of memories for some very good years. Class of '80 check it out on YouTube - Dinah Shore Nanette Fabray Meredith Willson's "Chicken Fat". This, and a few other renditions, are sure to make you smile! What a blast from the past.
Peace.
Sandy

Does anyone have "Anything Goes"?
I was just thinking about our senior year musical and the fact that I never got to watch it..Did anyone make a video of it? I'd LOVE to borrow it..Or I'd be happy to paypal you some cash if you would make and mail me a copy. THANKS in advance!!

Alumni Directory Needed
If anyone has the 2007 Alumni Directory and is willing to sell it or lend it out for an extended period of time, I would be extremely grateful!!!!!

Fun News: Classmate in film
Although we both left Greeley mid-stream to go to a private school, I recently stumbled upon a film from Netflix with a fellow 1976-7 Greeley classmate Meg Arader in it which I thought would be fun for others to see as well. It is seriously grade-B in nature, but its always fun to be in a movie as well as seeing a friend in one so I didn't think she'd mind my mentioning it so ... enjoy! Film: "Acne" year of release: 2000

diatribe-monotribe
hello? Is this mic working?
Hi. Hello, yeah, ok.

Jeff Jain here, ....huh?.... ok, yeah, sorry. ....Hi, Jeff here from 1987.
Um, yeah, doing brain numbing study on ...its going to sound wierd...on how to help coal miners in China.
Ok, I left school and went to the dessert and found the Bahai Faith, then went for three years into the Amazon to do public health work with Indigenous people, then tried to get back together with the high school girlfriend again, and (sigh), well then that went south, and I went back to Woods Hole (I started on Cape Cod, and went to high school in Chappaqua, the seeming reverse of many alum) worked in construction. Got to remodel a Frank Lloyd Wright in Woods Hole in sight of the Vineyard. Spent most of a winter on staging in the snow watching the island and the seals. Built a Japanese boat house, and a post and beam barn in the pines during January 2002. Beauty.
Dreams of China, so went to China, and another Bahai project brought me to the most polluted city ON EARTH for three years where I raised my baby daughter doing an educational project which is now winning all sorts of kudos and awards for empowering Junior Youth to become involved in social action and change. Learning Chinese is a very good idea, a fun language, and Chinese country people are free from deceit. Beautiful people.
Now I find myself in Perth Australia expecting a son in June, and wishing I had made the 20th anniversary last year. My wife is a former UN consultant, and Zhong Guo Tong (China expert) with 20 years of China experience.
I am doing grad work in Public Health with focus on Occupational Health and Safety with an eye toward consulting with Chinese officials in the future for Shanxi province to pull their socks up. Man, more people die in their mines than die in any other occupation on earth.

Perth is a beautiful respite. I have a pool, its salt water, and that is nice.

I am working in carpentry, and helping a friend break his company doing grey water remedation into the USA, but I have no idea how to start. But it is fun saving water. Its good. Water will be certainly a concern, in a future so unclear, it is with certitude one can say water will be important. (ok, AND art).

My next plan is to make LOTS of money. I have done everything but.

Life is good. Hope you are happy. Thanks for distracting me from boring study for half an hour. This was good. Lets do it again. did you read Dan Boyd's thing? Its like fifteen years old, but google it--1987 horace greeley--he hits so much on the head about where we were.

House for Sale
We are moving (within Chappaqua) and our house just went on the market. If you know anyone who's in the market to buy, please let them know they can find it by using MLS # 2805366 on the following website: http://pruholmesre.com/index.htm and searching within the Chappaqua school district. The address is 19 Williams Lane.

Alternatively, they can contact Beth Hocherman at Prudential Holmes and Kennedy. Her number is (914) 238-3988 x 130.

Many thanks,

Melissa (Biren) '91 & Scott Singer '90

Mr. Cesta
Thanks to Michael Cesta for posting about his father's death. Mr. Cesta's 8th-grade Social Studies course was the most fun course I've ever taken, and it has stayed with me ever since. Mr. Cesta was learned, compelling, and kind. I teach in law school now, and often ask myself "What would Mr. Cesta do?"

I'm married and living near DC, and have a 9 y/o boy and 6 y/o girl.

Wedding Announcement
Jennifer Stromberg '92 recently got married to Alex Butson of Brooklyn in Marco Island, Florida. The beach wedding was attended by fellow Quakers Mitch Greenberg '92, Steph Sobers '92, Susie Sklar '92, Dan Weissledder '92 and, of course, Vinnie Tavolacci '90. No, Vinnie doesn't still drive that same '91 Silver Saab.

Passing of Carmen Cesta
I want to let the Greeley Community know of the passing of my Dad on Novvember 17, 2007, Carmen Cesta whom many of you had at Bell School. I would say his work with students was the focus of his life.

just saying hello!
Hi everyone -
I swung by this website look up an email address, and I figured I might as well say hello while I am here! My husband Scott and I live in San Fran these days, and recently had our first baby, Zoe, born on July 4th. I hope everything is well with everyone!
Best,
Rebecca

Seeking Any Classmates
I am trying to get in touch with any HGHS Classmates '58 to get info on a reunion. I have moved a couple times and have lost track of class news.

Class of 1960 Newsletter

Read All About It!
NewCastleNOW.org Wants YOU in Its Pages.

With grant money from the University of Maryland, we three women are starting up an online newspaper for New Castle. In our grant application to "New Voices" J-Lab program, we proposed: "http://NewCastleNOW.org/ will be a source of current and background information on community issues, easily accessible to all citizens, as well as a forum in which to collect and share opinions." But we have even more in mind.

We launch http://www.newcastlenow.org on Friday, October 5, 2007, and will publish weekly thereafter. We want very much to hear from you Greeley graduates (visit our "sample" site and see far right column, Mac Bowen's "Coming at You from Ghana." We want to hear your accounts of the paths you took, the jobs and adventures you've had, what you're doing next. We're looking to include your voices in our (paperless) pages over the weeks and months, as stand-alone pieces or in installments like Mac's.

Some of you might have ended up doing something you never dreamed would interest you when you were in high school. Some of you might be doing exactly what you knew you always wanted to do. You might wish now that you'd paid closer attention to one subject or another when you were in high school, or believe now that you were absolutely right not to pay very close attention to it.

We're curious about you ourselves, plus we think it will be helpful to young people still within our K-12 world to hear from you what life is like out there - think of it as a kind of community service from afar.

Please write us with your stories or story ideas.

Mr. & Mrs. Matthew Elliot Kurlander
On Saturday, the fourth of August, in the year of our Lord: Two Thousand and Seven at Clermont State Historic Site in Germantown, New York; Matthew Elliot "Pecker" Kurlander (class of '92) married his once and present love, Christine Rebecca Lankenau on a green bluff overlooking the majestic Hudson River.

The Best Man and in many ways, the best of us all: Stephen Alec Weinberg, also of the class of '92, used nothing less than mutant-like agility to oversee and instruct the wedding. Matthew first met his bride while attending the Horace Greeley High School and fifteen years later reunited with her to all of our benefit. The ceremony also saw fellow Greeley alums: Levi Sokol, Mara Curtis, and Dave Seeve.

And now, let us hold hands, bow our heads, close our eye lids, and say out loud or to your self: A Shaker Hymn

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,

'Tis the gift to come down to where we ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the place just right,

'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd

To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till be turning, turning we come round right.

The Quakers would be proud or not.

Our friend and instructor, Frank Keiper, passed on this Sunday.

Moved to Florida
Hi,
I don't know if anyone remembers me. I graduated in 1968. I was wondering if there was ever a High School Reunion for our class. I moved to Florida and I'm currently in school to become a Medical Secretary. I retired from Robert E. Bell school in 2005. I'd love to e-mail my class mates and just catch up in general. Thank you Donna (Polcari) Manzares.

Passing of Bruce Nicolaysen and Wake Information (Dec. 28, 2006)
The following message was just passed along to me by a member of the class of 1981:

--
It is with a deep sense of sadness that I share the news of the sudden passing of Bruce Nicolaysen, our classmate from Chappaqua, Horace Greeley Class of 1981. Bruce lived in Poughquag, NY, Duchess County (NE of Pawling) with his wife, Katherine (Pappalardo -- class of 1990) and their three children: Kyle, Bryan and Mallory.

There will be a wake tomorrow evening, Thursday, December 28 from 7pm-9pm and a funeral service on Friday at 11:00 am at Beecher Funeral Home, 418 Bedford Road, Pleasantville, NY

The Family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Nicolaysen Children's Scholarship Fund c/o Bank, Shapiro, Gettinger, Waldinger & Brennen, PO Box 30, Mount Kisco, NY 10549.

Our deepest sympathies go out to Katherine, Kyle, Bryan, Mallory and the entire Nicolaysen family for their loss.

The next big thing in fitness
I opened up a fitness studio for women in Millwood, NY. As my class mates would know I lost about 48 pounds in my last year of high school. When I went to College I designed a workout program that would keep me in great shape and I then shared it with the campus. All of the sudden I had regulars, coaches wanted me to teach the warm-ups for the athletes. They featured an article about it in the school news paper. It was a great program. When I graduated I was studying to go to law school and had a great paying job in Armonk. However I couldn't help but to think that there were women out there who could use my help getting excited about fitness and learning how to work with what they have to feel great and look great for their body shape. I decided to quit my well paying job and take a huge risk opening up my own studio for women. It's been 5 months now that we have been open and women are seeing amazing results. Losing 7 pounds in 2 weeks, 2 inches off hips in 3 and down a dress size in 2. They claim I put something in the air they feel so good about themselves. They tell me that their husbands that never compliment them are stopping them to tell them how lean and shapely they are becoming. Great right? Wrong. The better these women are looking the less thay are talking to their friends about it. It's crazy!! They are trying to keep me a secret! I need help getting people to come in here and see what it is all about. Start talking!

We also do HipHop Classe for girls and they are great too. I believe that it is not just about memorizing a 2 step but more about kids building their confidence, Working as a team, challenging themselves. It's great, and it's working. Girls who were shy and timid are now walking into class with their heads held high, and they're just 5 and 8 yrs of age. I also do dance parties. I, growing up as a Catholic girl in Chappaqua, went to 67 Bar Mitzvahs I feel I was invited to most of them because people knew I would be the 1st one with my socks on and on the dance floor moving and grooving. I know what I'm doing. I make these parties personal. I talk to the kids to try and gage what their dance party wonderland would look like and I give it to them with high energy, the best music around and not to be topped personalized gifts. I want people to know what their friends don't want them too. YOBO Studio changes lives. Please check out the web site http://www.GOYOBO.com.

Most Sincerely, A Fellow Alumn, Johanna Comulada Class of 2000

reunion for '01?
Is there going to be a reunion for the class of 2001?

Casting for TV Land's "High School Reunion"
Hi Horace Greeley Class of '87! My name is Louis A. Caric and I am a Casting Producer for the TV Land hit show High School Reunion (formerly of the WB). We are currently in the process of searching for our new cast for our fourth season (which will center around your upcoming 20 year reunion) and I would be extremely interested seeing if you and any of your fellow alumni would be interested in participating. I've already been in contact with several of your classmates and am trying to reach out for more as HGHS fits the exact profile of the type of school that we would love to have. I would love to speak with you to see if we can make you and your classmates the next Cast Members of High School Reunion Season 4!

If you are unfamiliar with the show, it is a fairly simple premise in which we seek out members of a particular high school class and fly them to an exotic location (last season was Hawai'i) for an extended 2 week reunion. There is no competition, surprises, or created drama (TV Land is a fairly tame network and attracts a very mature audience, we run re-runs of The Brady Bunch for cryin' out loud!), it is simply the fun of putting a few characters from a past high school class back together to tell their stories and see how they have changed or even stayed exactly the same!

I can direct you to our website http://highschoolreunion.warnerbros.com/ as well for more information and the downloadable application. But please feel free to contact me, Louis A. Caric, at Louis (at) kasstinginc.com, or at 323.297.7112 if you have any questions at all. Keep in mind that we would require participation from several members of your class to make this work so I would really love to speak to you and anyone else you are still in contact with from your graduating class ASAP so if you are still in contact with any of your classmates, pass this on! I can't tell you all how excited I am about the prospect of having a school as great as Horace Greeley on board for our project. Thanks so much and I can't wait to hear from you!

Re: Looking for friends of Heidi
Heidi Campbell relative: I sent this via your email, but it bounced. So here's hoping you see this here!

My name is Gordon Macdougall (1978). I knew Heidi fairly well; she was part of the circle of friends I hung out with. I remember her as a vivacious, laid-back, wonderful human being. She had an easy laugh, and got along with just about everybody. I liked her very much.

I'm assuming this is the same Heidi you're asking about: You mention 1979, but the Heidi I knew passed away in 1978, I'm sure. As I write, I am looking at the Quaker '78 yearbook (page 245), and it has a wonderful full-page memorial. It has a beautiful big picture of her...smiling, just as I remember her always doing (I'm sure she frowned sometimes, but her smile and laugh are what stay so warmly in my memory), and a quote from her friend Angel Shaw:

"When you love someone, you tell that person how much you love them. A person does not know how deep or special that love is until you let it be known. There are times when it is hard to express your love, sometimes you never get the chance of you think that person already knows. I had a special kind of love for you. I only wish I had told you..."

I wish I could tell you some favorite things of hers, but it is too far back. And it was hard for all of us when she passed away...I might have tried to forget, tho' I never really have. She loved laughing, she loved hanging out with all of us, she loved her friends. She had the most easy-going way about her...I can't recall her upset or mean or cranky...

Heidi was one of the nicest people I knew, then, and I will always carry a piece of her in my heart.

If you want, I'll copy this yearbook page and send it along; send me an address. Also, look for Angel Shaw. She would know more, I'm sure.

Sincerely,

Gordon Macdougall, mrmac (at) teacher.com

New Arrival!
Scott ('90) and I are thrilled to announce that our family has grown with the birth of Jordana Biren Singer. She was born on July 24, 2006 and weighed in at 9 pounds 5 ounces. Big sister Kayla will be 3 in August and could not be more excited about her new baby sister. We are all settled in Chappaqua and have been living here for the past 3 years. Hope everyone is doing well. We would love to hear from old classmates when you're back in town so don't hesitate to look us up!

Former HGHS teacher Clare Risoli
I was hoping you could spread the word on your website. My great aunt, former HGHS teacher Clare Risoli, passed away today, Saturday after a long illness. I'm sure many of your alums will be sad to hear this. A wake and funeral are planned early this week in her hometown of Harrison, NY. More details should be available in The Journal News on Monday.

Thank you,
Sincerely,
Rick Carpiniello

school directory
I have purchased an alumni directory in the past and it had many more people's information than I could find on this Greeley site. It was fun to see all the names from so many classes and the updated information.
I would say if a person has not purcased one of these books in the past, I reccomend it. For 78 dollars, one time may be enough. :)

Harris Request for Info
Everyone,
Harris Direct wants to confirm information for their directory. Once my info was confirmed they wanted me to purchase the directory at about $76 per copy either in book form or on CD-ROM.

Harris Connect Directory Update
I recently received a postcard from Harris Connect telling me that they're updating their alumni directory and that I should call them at 1-800-546-2557 to make sure that my contact and personal information is all up-to-date.

I've never actually seen their book and would of course much rather everyone use this site to get in touch with their classmates, but those of you who are interested may want to give Harris a call.

Kaselehlie!
I recently stumbled across the alumni website to find all the postings from people who graduated long ago. Well I'm going to change that, and say hi to my fellow '01s, and everyone else I knew from my time at Greeley. As for me, I graduated from Connecticut College in May 2005, and in September I left for a small island located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to begin my 2-year committment as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I am on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia. My main job is to teach reading and writing to 8th graders, and I'm trying to take on some side projects as well. If anyone else has done or is currently in the Peace Corps, I'd like to hear about your experiences. I'd also like to share mine more in depth with people who are interested, so feel free to e-mail me. lanna.semel (at) gmail.com. I hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Looking for Nancy Hoeft

An Outlaw Leaves Us
On November 20th, 2005, Robert "Bobby Mac" McKinley passed away. He suffered a heart attack while selling jewelry down on the island of St. Thomas. He struggled with his demons for many years and they finally caught up with him. He had a big heart and I am proud to call him my friend! From the song by the Outlaws "Freeborn Man", "Home was on his back, he knew every inch of highway, every foot of railroad track." He will be missed....

Looking for friends of Heidi
My name is Chrissy (Campbell) Miller and this is not about me. I am looking for anyone from Greeley that can help with a project. It is a scrapbook of memories for my son, about his aunt Heidi Campbell. She went to Bell and was at Greeley in the fall of 1978. She passed away in the winter of 1979. My son asks about her alot. "What was her favorite ice cream flavor.", or "her favorite color", his list can be endless at times, and to be truthful, I was very young and did not know her as a friend would. So if you , or anyone you might know has any information that I could us to create a memory for my son it would mean alot. Thank you for any infromation you may have.

Miss Risoli
Hi everyone. I am the nephew of former HGHS English teacher Clare Risoli. I was alerted of the posting of her "marriage" to teacher Al Damon. I want to let you all know that Clare did not marry Al Damon. She tells me that Mr. Damon's wife is also named Clare, and that she also was an English teacher.

If anyone would like to drop a line to Miss Risoli, please do so to this address:
The Homesteads at Newtown
Room 205
166 Mount Pleasant Road
Newtown, CT 06470.

-Or you can email me (and I will forward your message) at rcarpiniello (at) juno.com

Thanks to all.

Just wanted to send a little "aloha" from Hawaii and let you know that I recently completed the Honolulu Marathon in 3:35:31 to become the fourth youngest and 302nd person overall to complete a marathon in each of the 50 states.

Sending sunshine, sea breezes and smiles your way.

Directing a Show in NYC
I'm directing a show in NYC that opens on Sept 9th. All the info is below!

PENNSYLTUCKY by Sloan MacRae
Going home is never easy, especially when you're from Pennsyltucky - where hunting isn't just sport, it's religion. Respect is earned by the shot of a rifle and Shane's homecoming is his last chance to earn the respect from his dying grandfather. Inspired by Cain and Abel, this is the story of a brother, desperate for success and eager to prove his manhood.

Sept 9-24 at the Bosakowski Theater (354 West 45th Street, between 8th and 9th). Tickets at http://www.smarttix.com

Welcome Baby #2
I just wanted to say that my husband and I welcomed our 2nd son Aidan Robert into the world on August 2,2005 weighing in at 6lbs 14ozs. His brother Colin loves being a Big brother. I hope that everyone from the class of '92 are doing well. If anyone out there is reading this, and knows who I am, I'd love to hear from you. Take Care..

Tracy Meyer / Smith
I'm with the Singapore American School (teaching MS drama full-time; nice job) and (gasp) married -- just six years ago! Still playing a Lot of music & tennis. I'd love to hear from Greeley people. Please write!

Announcement
This is just an announcement to notify fellow alumni that I am presently associated with the law offices of Howard Sherman in Ossining, NY, as an associate attorney.

Our Little Peanut
I would like to announce the birth of our third daughter Sasha Belle Reyes. She weighed 7lbs. 3oz. ,our smallest. She is joined by big sister Samantha and now middle sister Skylher. Things are going well, but our house is very busy.

Any Alumni in the music industry??
I recently finished making my first CD...If any of you know of (or work in) the music industry or have a contact for me to send my demo to, I would REALLY appreciate it! The CDs are $10 each if anyone would like one, please email me...If you work in the field or know someone who does, I will happily send you a free copy!
Thanks in advance- hope everyone is doing well.

good memories
I taught English at Greeley from 1975-80 and married Larry George, the shop teacher. The only Greeley student with whom I am in touch is Matthew Arkin '78. I would love to know where Liz Bresler is since I still tell my classes in upstate New York about her hilarious put-down of Matthew when I taught The Sun Also Rises in about 1976. I have great memories of teaching at Greeley and as I approach retirement, I think of my many wonderful students from long ago. Long term memory is WAY better than short-term!

Baby in my life
Hi my name is Lyrica Crookshank. My name as you all knew me was Morgese. This October 2005 I will be having a special person in my life. I am going to have a baby. My husband and I are extremly excited. Feel free to say hi to me whenever you like. Hope everyone is happy and well.

Claire Risoli and Al Damon
Writes Janet Lane '68: "I did find out that Claire Risoli, my former English teacher, married Al Damon, the infamous Math teacher for whom I baked at least 50 batches of cookies! She must be a great cookie baker to have caught his eye!!!" Update: Michael L. Cesta, MD informs us that Al Damon was a History teacher, not a Math teacher. Another Update: Miss Rosoli's nephew informs us that while Mr. Damon did marry an English teacher named Clare, it was not Miss Risoli. We're sorry for the confusion.

i'm alive
anybody have ay word about Greeley grads immediately before WW2?

Please let me know if you see any problems, or if you would like your name removed.

http://x.hghs.org/class/1981/

Aly Peduto, Julia Beame, Julie Vozick, Kumi Aruz, Mel Fava- WOW that was a long time ago. My life kept going full force...i live in Nashville now and own a company called Snappy Auctions http://www.snappyauctions.com Lots of great memories from all of you!

UPDATE
Well this is Paco, that is what alot of people knew me by. I am currently in the Air Force, I am A Staff Sargeant and I am living in Italy at the moment.
I joint right after I graduated I was station in Mississippi and I went to the dessert in support of 9/11, right after that I went to south Korea and now like I said I am in Italy.

death of mr visca
Was just surfing and read that dear Mr Visca died this week...
what a dear sweet man..made music at Greeley a pleasure and a joy
He had been attending our "faculty reunions"..and I believe he was at our last
one...

Just checking
I am just wondering if anybody out there remembering me. I attended HG when I was 19 and learned English there... I would like to hear from anyone ... I have very fond memories of teachers and students... but no names.

www.TheDeepDig.com
The Deep Dig is a short film I wrote, am producing and acting in. The website is a source of information for those who want to get involved or just stay updated on production. Micah Green (HGHS '90) is providing us with some music and Paul Wilamoski(HGHS '90) is bringing his film background to the dig. It takes a village to make an independent film, so if you have any ideas, please let me know! Thanks.

Updating the '77 directory
I am currently trying to update the contact information that appeared in the 25th reunion directory for the class of 1977. If you would like me to update your information, especially your email address, please contact me at varangis (at) starpower.net. I have gotten back many of the emails I sent as "undeliverable." If you haven't received an email directly from me it means that the address I have for you is incorrect. Hope to hear from many more '77 alums!

Screenplay takes top 3 in Project Greenlight
This past summer my screenplay "Wildcard" placed in the top three in Project Greenlight. I came *that close* to winning. I flew to LA, met Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and had a Hollywood adventure. In addition I got an agent and an attorney, and it looks like my script will be sold to Dimension Films! So life is good for me on the creative side... --Marshall

We would like to announce the birth of our second daughter Skylher Brooke Reyes. She was born on April 9th 2004 weighing 7lbs 15oz. Her big sister Samantha loves her so much, sometimes to much. We are all adjusting to our new addition.

Personal Update
To my class of 80 friends, I now work for the Master Builders Association in Bellevue, WA, the largest local homebuilder assn in the nation.

Passing of Charles Tetelman
Charles Tetelman, former Dean of Students at the Bell School, passed away on June 3, 2004 after a battle with cancer. He was 83 years old. A private service has been held.

checking in
It was good to see Tony Woodbury's note, although I was under the impression that "Chatino" was an internet language. I must get a new dictionary.

It was also good to see the website from Jim McKean. He is starting to look like Queequeg, the part he played in the movie musical "Moby" we made for Mr. Gross' English class. I'm surprised that movie hasn't made it to Turner Classic Movies, especially with its classic scene of Janice Figueroa (as Capt Ahab) being attacked by an umbrella!

It's too bad the footage of "Giants In The Earth" was lost. My only starring role... (Per Hansa, not "The Giant").

I've been living in Maryland since 1976, and we're bracing for the cicadas. I have my industrial strength flyswatter at the ready. I understand they are a delicacy (I'll take your word for it), so if anyone wants a shipment let me know. My windshield seems to attract them.

Hi 71-ers...
Hi Barbara, Sue, Jon, Jim, Jay, Dottie, and all you other 71-sters who have posted here...nice site! I've been in Austin, teaching linguistics at the U of Texas for these last..24 years (yikes...). My latest project is training and working with speakers of Chatino, an indigenous language of Oaxaca, Mx, to document their language. Love to hear from old friends! --Tony

Just Looking
Maybe I'm regressing, I'm not sure. Recently I went to see Jeff Rothman's Band play in NYC and I started thinking that I spent 11 years with many of you and yet I dropped off the face of the earth after Graduation. I miss a lot of you. I was wondering how you're doing. I'm married now and have a five year old daughter named Emma. I do freelance photography and live in Valhalla. If anyone is out there (Amy Singer, Katie Clippard, Laurie Netto and others) I'd love to say hello and see how you're all doing. E-mail me and we can regress together.

School Ring Found
Sorry to intrude on your alumni page as I am not actually a graduate of the school. About 5-6 years ago I found a Horace Greeley High School ring and I have been searching for the owner so I can return it. The ring has a blue stone, graduation year of 1972. Inside it is inscribed with 'ANDI'. If anyone knows who this ring belongs to please contact me at the email address listed. Thanks.

Followup: Andi Weiss '72 has been contacted. Hopefully the ring has found its way back to its owner.

I got married!
I married Eric Conner on November 15th in Wilmington, DE. Eric and I met at Penn in Spanish class, but took almost 9 years to actually start dating. At the wedding were many Greeleyites including '92ers Kathy (Tilzer) Simon (bridesmaid), Jessica Anenberg, Marni (Wasserman) Bernstein, Judy (Levy) Battaglia, Eric Sharfstein and Brad Corr ('98). And of course my sister, maid-of-honor, Rachel Zaslansky ('94) and brother, groomsmen Michael Zaslansky ('98). Eric and I live in Los Angeles and are always look forward to our East Coast friends coming for a visit.

Great Website
I just happened to notice this website for the first time today. Great idea; kudos to its creator. It's fun to see what everyone is up.

As for me, since our tenth reunion, I have been busy with the following.... Shortly thereafter, I took a sabbatical from my work as an employment attorney and embarked on a journey to Vietnam to teach English. It was very rewarding experience that started as a six-month teaching engagement and ultimately extended into a 13 month stint and a locally published ESL book. In early 1997, I got married (despite my mother's repeated desires, we don't have kids yet. Fortunately, my sister took much of the heat off by having two sons). In early 1998 I started teaching indoor Spinning (stationary cycling) as a hobby (I had picked up distance bicycling when I moved to California in 1992). In 2001, I set the then-existing Guinness World Record for indoor stationary cycling as part of a charity fundraising effort for Special Olympics. At the end of 2002, I left the partnership of Littler Mendelson (in San Francisco) and relocated to Klamath Falls, Oregon where my wife and I work for JELD-WEN, inc. Although she still sorely misses the food and shopping of San Francisco, the small-town feel of Klamath Falls sometimes brings back fond memories of Chappaqua.

I noticed a number of postings about our 20 year reunion (wow, that's a pretty big number, it feels like it should be appreciably less). I am happy to assist with the organizing effort although I may be somewhat handicapped in what I can do because I am so far away. I had a lot more fun at our 10-year reunion than I had expected and think a 20-year reunion would be even better, particularly if the turnout were good. Is somebody coordinating this? If so, let me know how I can help.

Any '96ish people in LA?
That is class of '96, not 96 year olds. I just moved out to Los Angeles about 2 months ago. If you are in the area and want to catch up, drop me an email.

Michael Suchman on stage at Carnegie Hall
Many of you may remember me as a Walter Schalk dancer. Well I am still dancing. This will be my 4th time on Carnegie's stage. I am currently on the dance team of the New York City Gay Men's Chorus. Our next concert is December 12, 2003. The show is called, A Twisted Holiday. The music will be new and different arrangements of familiar holiday songs. The is going to be fantastic!!! I encourage everyone to come.

For more information about the concert and the NYCGMC in general visit http://www.nycgmc.org.

So, to answer the question of how do you get to Carnegie Hall...Take Walter Schalk.

High Five
I'd like to give a shout-out to Emily Schwarz! Bet you didn't think I'd do it, didja?

Congrats to Elena Vassallo!

Saw this in the NY Times from this past weekend... Congrats to Elena Vassallo (Class of 1994) and Dave Becker (Class of 1993) on their recent wedding! :)

Peter Sherry wins Marine Corp Marathon
Thought this was great news to post online. Peter Sherry (Class '86) won the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC. Read all about it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19994-2003Oct26.html Nice work Peter! Congrats!

Interested in seeing a fellow classmate
Hi,
Many of my classmates of 1980 may not remember me, I was not popular. I often visit this web-site in hopes of seeing a message posted by someone I knew back then. I was not very popular back then but was "pick" on allot for being gay. Funny, I didn't realize that "outing" myself back then would have any negative effects on my future life. I just wanted to post this message to anyone out there from class of '80 who knew me or knew of me or even yet made fun of me to realize that I made it Ok and went on with my life.

I am a successful Accountant working for an Architectural firm for the past 15 years. Doing very well and very happy. I live in the Boston area now for the past 20 years. When I look back at my High School Days, (Drama club, Spring Finale and Senior Musical) I think of difficult times trying to adjust to a changing society. I know times have changed (thank God) but I wanted all who cared to know that I am doing fine, and don't hold any grudges...

Take care...
Brian

If anyone knows the where abouts of Art Mahon let me know, thanks!

Greg Harr - a STAR!
Did anyone catch Greg Harr, Class President of the class of 1991, on Sex and the City a couple of weeks ago? For those who watch the show, it was the "Shoes" episode. In the beginning of the show, Miranda convinces her coop board to allow a new applicant into the building. Greg plays an upper east side yuppie who comments on the applicant. Congrats Greg- you have come a long way from "Anything Goes"!!

Greetings from the Republic of Boulder
Great website. I have lost track of all of my class (1971) and would love news of old friends. After 20 years teaching Spanish in Maine, I'm now semi'retired and my husband and I moved to Boulder, CO three years ago.

Newest member of HGHS class of 2021!
Scott ('90) and I wanted to share some good news as 2003 has been an incredibly exciting year for us. In the spring I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Soon after we bought a house in Chappaqua and made the move back home! Most importantly, on August 21, 2003 our beautiful daughter, Kayla Biren Singer, was born. We are just ecstatic with joy about our little wonder! Hope everyone is doing well - we'd love to hear from fellow classmates when you're back in town!

JUST A HELLO
Just found the website and wanted to send out a HELLO to anyone I haven't seen for a while. Take care!!

Hi
Hi,

I just wanted to drop a line. Sorry, Alisa I've not written in 2 years. I've been busy. I've gone back to school to finish my BA. My BA will be in Criminal Justices. My next goal will be Law school in 2005. As for now I'm working and going to school. My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years and counting. Summer was busy, but in the long it's been fun. If anybody wants to drop a line please do. I want to know how everybody is doing. Kim Russell I got your e-mail. Sorry I never wrote back. I wish everybody a great rest of the summer.

Hello
Just found this website! Was very interesting to scroll through the past years. Moved away in 1976 and now living in Greenville SC. I have lost touch with quite a few people. If anyone has info on Elaine (Stoia) Feldman or Renee Abbott please e-mail me. Any news on a 30 year (that sounds so old) reunion? Went to the 20th and it was fun seeing so many after being away for so long. Thanks for a great website!

Ode to being "Hip"
Hi- just thought I'd drop a note to anyone who might remember me. On April 30th, I had my right hip replaced here in Boston. All went extremely well and I'm recuperating at home and doing my best to get off of the two pain meds they have me on. The hip replacement was needed due to the radiation damage from the cancer treatment I had starting in 6/86. I guess doctor's are happy to follow people like me as they find out what the "really long term" side effects of treatments are.

It will be nice to be able to walk without a cane and to get rid of the yellow moose that's standing on my kitchen table (pain meds can be so much fun- woo-hoo!).

See ya!

-Bob

About Jay Sanders '71
Jay Sanders ('71) sent this note and for those of you in the NY area, I thought you would find it of interest:

I'll be in this show through October 16th, then I'll be rotating back and forth as my schedule permits. The plan is to switch well-known actors through a few of the roles to bring greater atention to the piece. We open later this week and the audience response so far has been tremendous! I will most likely return to the show as my schedule allows and their needs arise, and since it's right across the Village from us here, it's a great thing to be in and out of. -- Jay

Here is the show's flyer information: America has a legal system. It needs a justice system.

THE CULTURE PROJECT presents THE EXONERATED: In Their Own Words, starring Jill Clayburgh, Richard Dreyfuss, Sara Gilbert and Jay O. Sanders will lead a company of 10 in a riveting new play that tells the true stories of six innocent survivors of Death Row. THE EXONERATED was written by Erik Jensen & Jessica Blank and was directed by Bob Balaban.

It's a girl
She may be small when it comes to size...but she's the queen of the cutie pies! Kaitlyn Alexandra Lane was born May 18th at 1:45 AM, 2lbs, 13oz, 16in.

A little premature but she is doing fine. Kaitlyn is still in the NICU waiting to grow big but will be home around her due date (7/8). Donny and I can't wait to have our little girl home.

Here We Go!
Greetings from the south!...no, not Cuba...Boca Raton, but its close enough. I say we follow in the footsteps of our fore fathers (class of '90 -'91) and schedule our 10 yr. in NYC during Thanksgiving weekend '02. Lets get the ball rolling. Lots of people have flight bookings and reservations to make, including all 50 or so of us who moved out west to Boulder, Co. Start talking about that weekend, and maybe we could cause enough buzz to get something going. Mark your calendars, sync those watches. See you there!

Now in NYC
Hello out there. I'm living in NYC now with my hubby and kids, back in school at Yale getting a Ph.D in Jewish history. My triplets, Abby, Michael, and Lily just turned 8!!! My husband Bart. a Washington Post reporter, is busy on the terrorist beat. Can't believe our 25th reunion is next year. I'd love to be in touch with old friends. Take care. Tracy

Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day
Hello everyone,
In October I will be walking from Bear Mountain to Manhattan to raise money to support the fight against breast cancer. I've been training by walking 20-30 miles per week and will continue that for the next 4 months. In order to walk I have to raise $1900.00 in donations. I'm hoping some of you out there will want to support me. A few statistics:

* There are over 1 million women in America with undetected breast cancer.
* One in 9 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime.
* This year, 500 people per day will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.

If you would like more information, or to make a donation, please email me.
Alternatively, you can visit my homepage at:
http://homepage.bethepeople.com/mphp/3DNY-2002/alisonmay1998

Thank you in advance for your support! I'll be posting my progress occasionally. As of yesterday I have walked 101 miles in training. Averaging 3.5 miles per hour. The walking is wonderful, the blisters are not, but hey, it's all better than breast cancer! Please help me fight this horrible disease!!!!

Thank you for your support,
Alison May
