Here is what some of you had to say about our communal

50th birthday party:

Our 50th celebration was a blast, and a good time

was enjoyed by everyone in attendance. The location, Pier 1 in Bayville, was an excellent choice. The view, the service, the food, and the company were top shelf. The crowd was quality vs. quantity this time (although the large number at our last bash was record breaking). A class act!

It was such a blast. In many ways I liked this reunion better than the last, because it was more intimate and we got to spend more time with each person. By necessity, the 30th had lots of shorts chats. But I really liked that one too, don't get me wrong. 
 
The committee has done an amazing job of bonding the class of 1972 with our high school memories and experiences. They were all so deeply recessed, it was great to be able to bring them out front. Thank you.

Many years ago, I worked as a waitress at the Tam O'Shanter Country Club. It was a bit embarrassing for me to be working there whenever I saw people from Jericho there.

For me, the feeling about high school that had was I that there were very strong social and you groups, were either in these groups or out. I thought of myself as out. That is what makes

 the reunion such a great experience. I can actually cross the line and talk

to someone from another "group."

The reunion was so nice, especially the way the venues changed and situations presented themselves differently.  It was a long, fruitful day.

─ Luise Halberstadt Linder

Despite the lower turnout

than last time, I appreciated

the greater opportunity

to really talk with people.

─ Wendy Foxmyn

We all had a great afternoon

(especially Taylor).

─ Cheryl Goldenberg Kristal

I had a fabulous time!

─ Cathy Kibel Shriger

It was great seeing everyone again!

─ Elaine Katz Burack

Thanks for a great party! I really enjoyed seeing people after thirty-eight years, and some look exactly the same!

─ Wanda Baskin Aria

I agree with Wendy: The smaller crowd was very nice.

─ Larry Licht

The reunion was great.. Thanks for making the memories happen.

What a fun day! It was so neat to spend a great day with my oldest and dearest friends, even if they never knew how grateful I was for their acquaintance. I can't wait until I am fifty-eight to our fortieth reunion!

─ Jimmy Rudy

Great job! We should do something like this every year!

─ Tom Jendrzjewski

I'm still enjoying memories from the big party. Thanks for making it happen.

─ David Lutzker (class of '73)

It was a wonderful reunion, and I think the great time had by all and the participation both this time and in 2002 shows what a great group of people with whom we shared the high-school experience.

─ Andy Iskoe

Just wanted to let you know that the inflatable Mr. Pac Man that you gave out at the reunion was passed around many hands at the Grateful Dead concert in Saratoga Springs the following week. He had lots of fun! Although he died by the end of it.

Thanks for the photos. Amazing how some looks don't seem to have changed in all those years!

─ Lori Berman Mann

Being a class member who was unable to attend the 50th birthday celebration, I must say that after having viewed the pictures, it was an event I wish I hadn't missed. Everyone looks great!
