Today
Sitting on my fence gazing forward and back
One is not promised, the other no lack
Counting one’s blessings as they abound
Living in peace while love surrounds.
 
Betwixt and between the mind does soar
The finish line grows closer, silence evermore
“Stop and smell the roses”, is what they say
To cherish loving memories each and every day.
 
To ponder one’s future leaves no rest
Love in our hearts is the true litmus test
Leaving hurt, sorrow, and anguish behind
It’s our past loves and laughter that cheats father time.
 
The day has come to right the ship
Our collective love and wisdom will do the trick
To impart this message to our children and beyond
Will give them hope and love when we’re gone.
 
Nothing can replace a smile on the face
The eyes mirror the soul make no mistake
This October everyone longs to see
The love in your eyes smiling with glee.

Love, George

Food For Thought

Dear Friends,

          If one understands and practices the spiritual law of sowing and reaping, many blessings have abounded in their lives. The opportunity for an altruistic act has arisen in our search for our fellow classmates.

          One cannot help but notice the escalating prices that affect everyone, especially those on a tight budget; which has prompted this writing. In actuality no one has asked for help but simply declined to attend our gala event for this very reason. If you are led to send an extra few dollars with your check it will be earmarked for this endeavor and offered to these people, with total anonymity, for obvious reasons. If these classmates chose not to partake of these gifts, I will return your donation at the reunion.

          Also, we will need some volunteers to help out in Jersey a few days before the weekend commences. If you’re local and that tickles your fancy, please let me know and we can discuss the needs.

          Pleaseeeeeeeeeease let me know if you are attending the events, by RSVP on the website or by email janlincoln@att.net, as soon as possible. It’s imperative that I get a head count (actually, if you are not coming :>( that information is also needed).

          Some of us had a sibling, good friend, etc in some of those classes ahead or behind us that many of us know. I would like you to extend an invitation to those persons as you are led.

          Don’t forget that a fun and good way to be frugal is the sharing of a room with a friend (I think that’s called a slumber party….that is if anyone sleeps).

          Keep those leads coming for missing classmates (they all help).

Love to all,
George

Hi Guys & Gals,
 
First of all, I would like to thank Janet (Picetti) Falcone as a new valued reunion committee member.

Very near and dear to our hearts are those classmates that have gone but are not forgotten.  Janet will be hosting the "In Memory Of" page of our website.  If anyone has information on any of these classmates please email to Janet at jfalcone@fhcds.org to assist her in this endeavor.


I'd like to thank all of you that are making our reunion website a great success by posting your pictures and stories.  Keep them coming!  For those of you that haven't yet.....what are you waiting for?  It's the 40th, let's have fun with it.

Thanks again, Janet, we love you!

Love to all, George

Updates from George

Hi Guys and Gals, Just a quick note to update everyone.  In order to keep cost as low as possible we have decided not to utilize credit cards for reunion payments.  The use of cards escalates the cost by over 9% per person.  Also, we have opted to have a cash bar for two simple reasons.  First being, it will keep the costs of tickets considerably lower and the second, there are people who do not drink alcohol and it would be very hard to differentiate the ticket price.  We launched this endeavor in good faith and want to keep it that way.  Of course, I would be happy to buy someone a drink if they would like.  This is getting very exciting and the reunion will be upon us before we know it.  Well take care, walk in peace with love in your heart.  See ya soon, George
