Hey Ilion, I'm heading your way at the end of July, get ready to party, this reunion should be a lot of fun!!! Maybe Gary Dempster will meet me at the top of Grove Street hill and show me how to tame that baby on a skateboard, or Bugsy Moran will show me just where those bees were behind Dr. Merson's office at the Third Street bridge.., or Jack Powers will show us how to clean Nile's pool while the rest of us listen to Foreigner, or Stinger will give us one more "go nuts" sign! Can't wait!!! Should be fun, yeah think? (June 26, 2001)

"My husband, Bill, and I are strong advocates for children and child welfare. We have been foster and adoptive parents for 5 years now, with myself working for the Foster and Adoptive Family Support Service. This year for the first time my husband and I are doing "The Ride for Missing and Exploited Children" for the National Missing and Exploited Children Center on May 18th. This is the ride that originated with Bob Wood when his daughter Sara Ann Wood was abducted. The ride is a 110 mile bicycle ride beginning in Albany and ending at the New Hartford Recreation Center. We have committed ourselves to raising money to cover the cost of 5000 missing and exploited children fliers. With the fliers costing .20 each, that comes out to $1000. We are hoping our classmates will help us out with this committment. If anyone is interested in making a donation please send them to my home address and make your checks payable to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children." (January 18, 2001)

Our oldest child, Leigh-Ann is 12, our three sons are Eric-8 yrs. old, Daniel-6 yrs. old, and Bryan-4 1/2 yrs. old. We have truly been blessed. Mark works for PECO Energy as a Senior Reactor Operator at the nuclear power plant here at Limerick...a job he has had for 13 years now. I'm actively involved with our school's A.P.T., am always driving a child to this activity or that practice, and occassionally sub on a ladies bowling league when they need me. In January we will be moving into a larger home and we're very excited. I'd love to hear how well everyone is doing. Feel free to e-mail me."

Jim writes "It's been along time. I'm sure glad I took those typing classes with Mrs French, it sure has come in handy. I live in Connecticut and very rarely get back to Ilion. My wife of 12 years Lisa and our two children Jake (11) and Katrina (8) and I are doing well along with one dog, a cat and two ball pathons. Wow, that sounds like a zoo, not a home. Well that's enough for now. If anyone would like to contact me via the net my email address is earl_jim@hotmail.com or jearl@snet.net. Prayers and bestwishes to all my classmates."

Felicia writes "I was married June 6, 1986 to my husband Steve. We moved from Ilion in January 1992 to Florida. Steve is a 1979 graduate of Whitesboro High and 1983 graduate of Clarkson. We currently have two children Colin Steven (3 years old) , born May 6, 1996, and Paige Evelyn(21 months old), born December 26, 1997. We are expecting our third child in late April 2000. My husband is working for Northrup Grumman as a software engineer. Since the birth of our first child, I have been a stay at home mom. Previously I was teaching preschool and enjoyed every bit of the 13 three year olds that I had in my class. I miss teaching and will some day go back. But for now, my life is with my kids, their activities, schools and play dates.

I would like to hear from anyone I graduated with just to get an update on your life. I lost touch with most when I got married and just about everyone when I moved. I rarely see anyone when I visit NY, not knowing who is still there. I have recently gone back over old class photos, even ones dating back to East Frankfort School for those few who I started kindergarten with. I am hopeful that a 20 year reunion will be organized. I'd like very much to attend and see how much we have all changed, I know I have."
