apology!
Hi there! I am reading back through the posted messages, and saw one I'd written in 2005 at the height of a brain injury. I had all the information wrong and caused quite a bit of confusion. So sorry, everyone! Late apology, but better late than never!
I am in Alaska and love it. I hope all my friends from Greeley are doing well!

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.

Peter Logan '68
My name is Peter Logan, class of '68. I have been a monk at the Community of Jesus on Cape Cod, since 1974. We are an ecumenical monastic community, in the Benedictine tradition. I work in our wood shop (currently making hundreds of cabinet doors for our new church), chant the divine office in Latin, teach Gregorian chant, sing in our choir (Gloriae Dei Cantores), and play the trombone and baritone in several groups. I found the web page by looking up "HGHS alumni." My email address is brothers (at) c4.net (to my attn., somewhere).
