About this Web Site and the Class of '63...

December, 2003

The idea for "mineola63.org" came about during our last event of the 40th Reunion Weekend. We wanted a way of keeping intouch with each other and also of having one focal point of communication where class members could learn about plans for future events. This lead to the suggestion of this web site. It is here we could achieve these goals and more.

The task of building this site started soon after the 40th Reunion Weekend ended with the promise that the basic site would be up by the Thanksgiving weekend and the focus would be to have a photo album online. Objective met!

Dedication: This web site, a 'Lobor of Love'... when things work the way I plan them to and, Frustration... when they don't, is a gift to my fellow schoolmates. Accordingly, I dedicate this site to my class the Class of '63 and also to all the other sister classes we knew while in high school.

My personal dedication is to Buzz Franquemont, Kathy Kwiatkowski, Tom Mohrman, Ralph Sammis, Dorothy Awe, Karen Kenny, Janet Bechtel, Pam Harrison, Maureen Sbarra, Pam Moore, Rich Ottaviano, Jack Emmer, Jim Litterelle, Ken Popson, Ginny Simonson, Ed Kenny '65, Bob Szigethy '64, Susie Fink '64, Paula Lupo '64 and Gloria Miller '64. All these wonderful people touched my life and made my senior year very special.

Thank you all for the friendship and memories.
