More from the 45th Year Reunion ...

Kathy Herle McCarthy has unlocked her photo album to share these with everyone ... you're on your own for identifications. But we haven't changed that much in 45 years, right?

The Year We All Turned 50

The class gathered in 2005 for a large 50th birthday party. Tim and Julie Porter donated their house for the occasion, which was quite nice for them. Here are a few photos from that occasion.

The highlight of this Saturday morning round of golf when Chris Bailey's drive from the men's tee barely reached the ladies' tee. Others in the group immediately asked for a recount of the election for Student Council President.

When Deb Milbrand makes a point, she is emphatic about it.

How did Monica Porter, Tim and Julie's daughter, get to light the candles for the cake? Maybe she didn't trust 50-year-olds to keep the lighter steady.

When it comes to plumbing, no one does it better than Bill Irr.

The 40th Reunion in 2013

 I didn't take a great many photos at this event, which was held in Williamsville. But, you might recognize some classmates.

This was taken in the West Gym, now known as the library. We can check to see if it has changed much when a tour of the school will be staged on Friday of Reunion Weekend.

OK, the girls need to pose first. Chivalry is not dead.

And now the boys. I wonder how many of those kneeling for the photo would be able to get up quickly now. 

There was a color photo album produced from that reunion; let's hope someone brings it along. 

Two lists ...

Here are the two sides of having of a reunion. 

We need a list of those who say they'll attend it, pending an unexpected development. 

And, sadly, we need a list of those who can't make it for the worst of all possible reasons. 

The first one generates excitement and might convince people on the fence to go. ("Why I haven't seen her in years ...") The second one is a difficult exercise, because we want to pay tribute to graduates who have died ... but we frankly are scared of leaving someone out. 

So let's see how we do, and we'll try to update both lists during the course of the next three months. We'll have to round up the maiden names of the ladies where appropriate.

Planning to attend so far:

JoAnn Azzarello, Budd Bailey, Chris Bailey, Dave Campbell, Tim Cashmore, Yvonne Massey Caplan, Bill Conway, Barb Cutt, Richard Dailey, Suzanne Fletcher, Coni Gilmour, Ken Hahn, Kathy Herle, Dave Hormell, Marsha Mets Jacobs, Steve Kies, Duane Knavel, Joe Kody, Paul Koegler, Dave Korduba, Cindy Lex, Cindy Lyons, Gretchen (Preve) McCallister, Tim McNally, Chip Moehlau, John O'Hare, Julie Kreher Porter, Tim Porter, Linda Reger, Karen Roth, Norm Schueckler, Greg Weston, Pam Shankland Wigant, Pat Tunkey White, Vicky Zaferakis. 

And we miss and remember: 

Kevin Albrecht, Sue Attenhofer, Mike Bald, Mary Boies, John Bowman, Karl Bowman, Ted Burckart, Tim Cullinan, Bill Cummiskey, Rob Czysz, Pat DiFrancesco, John Fassel, John Feldman, Dave Georger, James Harbison, Jane Hoppe, Paul Jacobs, Joyce Krause, Michael Levandowski, Sue Lewis, Chris May, Kathleen Miller, Kevin Moshier, Leslie Moushey, Brian O'Connor, Fred Page, Janet Parr, Claudia Peters, Tom Petty, Donna Phillips, Doug Reed, Kevin Rossney, Thomas Shaffer, Bud Shepard, Darrell Smith, Donna Stanley, Linda Sylves, Karen Trum, Kevin Waldorf, Barbara Werdein. 

(The photo above is from the 30th reunion, by the way.)

The Reunion of 1993 (That''s the 20th For Those Counting)

 Here are a few photos, probably taken with an Instamatic camera, from that event:

Mark Murphy (left), Carolyn (Kosobucki) Wolmering (middle), Greg Wolmering (right). We're thinking of Carolyn at this time.

A blurry Jim Braun (left) and a less blurry Bill Irr (right).

Bill Busch (middle) looks dapper, while Dave Hormell looks merely relaxed. 

Michelle (Mangano) Hosier gives Steve Kies a laugh or something he said. 

Tom Herberger is in the midst of an intense conversation; hard to tell who is doing the listening

Apparently Cheryl (Seuss) Hallman was caught on film being surprised about something. Debbie (Milbrand) Pike and Tim Porter are content to look on. 

Would it be a reunion without Scott Roth? Probably not. Looks like quite a crowd by the bathroom. Spot anyone?
