Class of 1972: 35th Reunion
The 35th reunion was attended by a small but hearty group of
alums from the class of 1972. The evening began with the opportunity to
renew acquaintances over a glass of wine or beer. People enjoyed looking
over the yearbook and Joyce's collection of newspaper clippings from over
the years and photos of past reunions. Joe Gallagher offered a grace and a
moment of silence for our deceased members. We also read emails from
members who could not attend this time. A fantastic dinner prepared by
Ruth Petkovsek and her staff followed. A couple of raffles were held to benefit
the scholarship fund. Joyce had thank you notes available from each
recipient for the past 34 years. We also had a raffle of items that members
brought from their area. Some lucky people won items such as golf balls,
bottles of wine, a canal t-shirt, Redco products, items from the state
Museum in Albany and cookies from Philadelphia. DJ Kevin Canastar offered
great music but this group did not dance - preferring to continue chatting
and reminiscing instead.
A highlight of the evening was when Peggy McGinnis Romano brought in a
long lost class ring with the initials of JB. Turns out that our very own
Joyce Becker Kaufman lost her ring a few weeks after receiving it and it
turned up in someone's home very recently. What a wonderful surprise.
A survey was handed out and we hope to find out more information from all
members of the class of 72 to improve the reunions and attendance in future
years.
