Wishing all of you a Happy 50th reunion….where has the time gone? Sorry to miss it and hoping everyone is doing well. I retired 21 years ago after working in Bermuda and now living the mountain life in Vail, CO. If any of you come out this way to ski (or anything else) please feel free to reach out to me. Have fun and I’ll be thinking of all of you.

comment by Karen Porcelli

Of course I was completely bonkers growing up and it wasn't until the last few years that I have been able to understand it. I didn't attend much of SHS even when I was enrolled. I am glad so many of you have found success, though.

comment by Valerie Roessle Roebuck

Dang! I am so sad to miss yet another reunion, and this our 50th! Amazing to realize how much time has passed and life has occurred since our times together at SHS. I was happily anticipating catching up with as many of you as possible at our 50th, but a European vacation planned over a year ago has precluded that. So, wishing you all a fabulous reconnection and I look forward to relishing the photos that are posted. 🤓

comment by John Hammell

Where did 50 years go? Seems like only yesterday we graduated, and the memories are as clear as day in my mind! My 68th Birthday looms on June17th, and I’m helping to find the missing classmates (there are around 100, I’ve had some nice convos with Mimi Allerton and James Wyman and found Eric Price by the email address in the 2017 Alumni Directory- Im going to email him again to see if he’s coming and to try to update his info! Mimi told me some people don’t want to be contacted and she can tell you who they are so their wishes will be respected. I’m still at the address I’ve been at for 23 years now that’s listed in the 2017 Alumni Directory 556 Boundary Bay Rd Point Roberts WA 98281. I have no desire to retire since I enjoy my various home based businesses too much to WANT to stop what for me is FUN! I might even return to Washington College to complete my degree since I dropped out eons ago and have been taking the “ Path Less Travelled.”

comment by Roland Cummins

Oh man this is so cool. I wish I lived closer so I attend this event. But oh well. Its great to see some the befores and afters photo.  Bright moments to you all

comment by Tony Pannella

I do not recall attending Summit High School.  Conversely, I do recall streaking Summit High School.  When is the streaking reunion? 

comment by James Wyman

Might I shill here for the message boards on this site ("SHS 75 Forums" in the menu on your left)? Maybe nobody knows what a "forum" is because it\'s been hard to get anything started there. How \'bout a little chatter?You can also chat it up on the class Facebook page: www.facebook.com/group.php(And if you\'re on Facebook, check and acknowledge your Friend Requests! I\'m sure I\'m not alone here -- some people have been showing up for me as Awaiting Friend Confirmation for months!! Yes, TERRY DAGRADI, DAVE ROSEN, BETH MAHER, and JULIE O\'CONNELL, I\'m talking to you!)

comment by James Wyman

Overnight lodging is still available in the Summit train station.

comment by Eric Hillenbrand

Finally cleared coming for reunion weekend.  Although I theoretically live in Ohio and work out of Dallas (out of being the operative phrase), I am now living between Santa Cruz and San Diego, and therefore challenging Bruce A. for distance traveled (John Hammell probably has us both beat with Washington).  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

comment by Bruce Atkinson

I\'ve got a week to lose 50 lbs.  Boy am I hungry! 

comment by William W. Woodside, Jr

I am sorry that I will not be able to join your festivities.  I enjoyed knowing and working with many of you, and wish all a successful and enjoyabe reunion.  Hopefully,I will be able to join you on your 40th.

comment by Maurice Kelly

Plan B ??hmmm.... well then - how about  "Courtyard by Marriott" instead ? 

comment by John Hammell

What sorta jolts me when I ponder the class of 1960 having their 50th Reunion while we\'re having our 35th is that my brother Rob was only 3 years younger than those guys and he died a couple years ago.A client of mine is the Life Extension Foundation in Florida, some of you might be interested www.lef.org They fund alternative gerontological research and publish a great magazine that you can find on Newstands or by joining them.My brother Rob died from an aortic aneurysm while crawling under his bed one morning going after his shoes while getting dressed for work. Could happen to any of us! Check out the Rath/Pauling protocol for the prevention of human cardiovascular disease- its a very simple, inexpensive nutritional protocol involving Vitamin C, lycine and some other penny nutrients.... Re James idea of challenging class of 1960 to touch football, realize you\'re only joking James, but some of those guys could be in surprisingly good shape! I swim in a Masters swim club and we\'ve got people in their 60s and 70s who are in astonishing shape- some are world champions in their age groups!

comment by Mimi Allerton

Maurice -- I believe Mary Beth told me that fabled courtyard of the senior rainy sleepover is no longer there due to renovations.  Do we have a Plan B?  As Bruce e-mailed recently, it\'s important to always have a Plan B!James -- does this mean we\'ll be old codgers in 15 years?  I think NOT! 

comment by Maurice Kelly

Just a quick question for the organizing committee: If lodging for out of towners is still an issue, would SHS be amenable to letting us camp out in the school courtyard again ? Greatly looking forward to seeing everyone !!!PS - Loch/Steve/Jim :  Any of you guys still have a copy of that Senior project videotape that we made ?  

comment by James Wyman

I say we challenge those old codgers in the class of 1960 to a touch football game. If we win, they foot the cost of changing our cash bar into an open bar. If they win, we won\'t beat them up. You know how old they are? They\'re so old, they went to high school at the junior high school.  

comment by John Hammell

The Debary Inn is full, so Techie and I are staying at the Turkey Hill Inn on Beachwood Ave. While not listed here, its a good choice for anyone who doesn\'t want to stay at the Hilton, Best Western or what used to be the Hotel Suburban. See www.turkeyhillinn.com Their rates are very good! Look forward to seeing everyone! Greetings from Point Roberts Washington near Vancouver BC.http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0408/feature7/

comment by Mimi Allerton

John is right about the DeBary Inn.  The Class of 1960 is having their 50th our same weekend and they booked all the rooms.  Check into the other hotels (Travelers tab) because there should be availability.  Remember to call (as opposed to reserving on the Internet) and mention "SHS Class of 1975."

comment by Sue Brett Miller

C\'mon guys...Sign up for the festivities!  How often can you celebrate almost 35 years of all coming together?  I gaurantee that this list of attendees is going to double quickly, so please...make up your mind and let all these people that have worked their butts off to make this all worthwhile, let them know if you\'re able to make it or not-rsvp and send your check off to Larry.  It\'s going to be a Blast!

comment by Kathy Bennett Pier

 Hi All,So nice to see and read the bios! I see Mary Beth and Cheryl Bennett from time to time! Where are you Wendy Hack?? Toss me an email.  Thanks for the phone call Mimi!Hope all is great with all of you.Kathy

comment by Mary gene

 Great job everyone that worked on the reunion.  Can t wait should have a nice time

comment by Teri Crist

Greetings from the class of \'76.  We heard you guys have been working overtime to make your 35th the best reunion ever, so in keeping with our long history of friendly competition with the class of \'75, we have already begun planning our reunion as well :-p  Looking forward to lots of pictures!  Best to all, tc

comment by M Python

And now for something completely different ...........A Summit High School 35th year reunion.

comment by Beverly Breton Carroll

How did we all get better with age?  Hoo-ah!  Count me in.  Even though I am only a Summit Junior High graduate, not a Summit High graduate, I look forward to catching up with everyone who does remember me!  Franklin School still rocks.           

comment by Kirsti Jutila

Hey people!  Mimi called me this evening and it was great to talk with her and hear about the Reunion plans.  I was visiting a Brooklyn high school earlier today, and Summit High and the Class of 75 was on my mind!  OK, who remembers the room number of Mr. Granger\'s photography classroom and studio?  And who was our driver\'s ed teacher?

comment by Bryan Allocco

Great job on the reunion guys & girls nothing like a Summit Party! Hope all is well see you in October.

comment by Ruth Smith Wuzniak

I am so upset...won\'t be able to attend after all...will be in New Hampshire from Thursday to Monday, but I will certainly be thinking about all of you...maybe we can have a 40th!!!!

comment by todd hyde

HAVE BEEN IN CAMBRIDGE, MA. FOR ALMOST 30 YRS. AND STILL DON\'T WHAT THEY MEAN BY, "pak the caar in ha-vad yaad.." this 35th should be a real gas, can\'t wait.

comment by Karen Winslow Hudkins

Looking forward to October...this is a great website. Have gotten in touch with Roger...where is George Butler?

comment by Liz Bariexca-Garofalo

Can\'t wait to see everyone In October.

comment by Mimi Allerton

Thanks for website comments ... it\'s constantly evolving, so please keep checking back. Karen, my reply is what Bruce wrote ages ago, “Where is everybody?” To all the anonymous classmates reading this post -- it\'s always a challenge finding you. If you would register (classmate bios) that would be helpful to us sleuths trying to track you down.  

comment by Joseph Loreti

I was fortunate to be able to teach all of my 34 years as an instrumental music teacher in the Summit Public Schools at all levels. Many fond memories of so many talented students. 

comment by Lisa Faherty

Although we moved away at the end of sophmore year, I still remember so many more people from SHS than from the HS I graduated.  I\'m looking forward to seeing lots of you!

comment by Vicki Leonard Sutherland

Even tho I didn\'t attend SHS my senior year, I still feel that it was

comment by Tony Pannella

Greetings from Rahway State Prison.

comment by Angela Valenziano Ross

Great website you guys!   How FUN to read excerpts about everyone.  Hope all the grads join in and share their story.   Let's think of some fun place to gather on Friday night...... wish I still lived there (I live in Minneapolis) because I would open up my home- any ideas? 

comment by Matt Swanson

Nice job on the website guys.

comment by Allen Hadley

comment by Ted Nickerson

So, do we get a better table at the reunion if we sign up here now?
