Hi Friends, Sorry for the previous "word swamp"! I'm still kickin, and am glad many of you are still around, I hope to come to the 50th Reunion and wish I'd had more time at the 35th to talk with more of you especially Tom Kelly who lived across the street from me on Canoe Brook Parkway, but also people like Rob Vaughn who I played trombone with in band.

I'm doing some crowd funding because I need help bringing a book off the back burner that will really help a lot of people! You can see a some background at http://iahf.com/on_the_back_wards.html 

I started writing it in 1989https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWEdaAaxIH8. An actor friend wants to help me turn into a movie, his name is Nick Mancuso and he lives in Paris. We met via the Global Health Freedom Movement, anyone interested can see me in a Documentary Film that I helped make and which I'm interviewed in, its called "We Become Silent- The Last Days of Health Freedom" and can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWEdaAaxIH8

I can be reached at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile and at 1-360-945-0352 H&W
jham@iahf.com  It sure would be fun to reconnect with any of you! I would like to help with the next reunion, I'm good at finding people.

Hi Classmates! Anyone got a place I can crash for two weeks in or near Dallas TX? ( Am willing to pay, to help grocery shop and cook) Reach me via jham@ishf.com also at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile/Viber 556 Boundary Bay Rd Point Roberts WA 98281.  I need to travel there soon to use the Phoenix Thera-Lase Cutting edge healing Laser that is heavily endorsed by NFL teams, also by the Department of Defense (for repairing serious damage to knees and other joints of SEALS and other Special Forces. Such iconic NFL football players as Ed "Two Tall" Jones and Randy White (Dallas Cowboys) have had extensive and impressive healing experiences using this device https://phoenixthera-lase.com/ which I need to use because of a serious injury 9 years ago that has me walking with two canes today and having to wear a "Medical Guardian" call for help button around my neck in case I fall. I have herniated disks in my lumbar spine very little cartilage under my left patella and a pinched Sciatic nerve on the left side of my body. Had to sell my standard shift Toyota Carolla because every time I'd step on the clutch with my left foot, lightening bolts of extreme pain would rip through the left side of my body. In place of the Corolla which was too small for my mangled body to get in and out of without being a contorsionist) I now enjoy a far more comfortable 2013 RAV 4 Ltd Edition SUV (an automatic) that I can get in snd out of far more easily!  HOW I GOT SEVERELY INJURED Nine years ago I was nearly killed as a civilian in a war zone on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. I should have listened to the State Droartments warning not to go there, but badly wanted to learn Agnihotra snd Homa farming two really useful healing and agriculture techniques from India that physicists today are studying with total fascination and so are Naturopaths and Herbalists like me!   I worked in an alternative cancer hospital in Rosarito Beach, Mexico several years ago before the criminal US FDA leaned on their equally criminal Mexican counterparts to literally DESTROY our wonderful hospital with a crane and wrecking ball due to all the lives we saved using sch "Forbidden" treatments as Ozone and all other effective Buo Oxidative therapies, orthomolecular medicine, and Naturopathic approaches from the Benedict Lust School of Naturopathy (among others) My Grandfsther was an MD ( Radiologist) as well as a Naturopath/ Herbalist and country doctor trained originally by his dad who learned to read from a copy of Grays Anatomy as a teenage medic in the confederate Army during the Civil War. After the war my Great Grandfather returned to the small Appalachian village where he'd been born and raised in East Tennessee, he was a Presbyterian Minister who also sold mules (the Four Wheel Drives) in those hills before there WERE 4x4s! He was also made the Doctor by popular demand (since no one else knew how) He delivered many babies on kitchen tables from an early age then was assisted by my grandfather once he was about 12. So it's in my blood to be a healer. My journey was shifted in this direction following my recovery from so called "mental" illness and I tell that story here if you're interested https://iahf.com/on_the_back_wards.html Some of you may remember that a tree (150' tall Hemlock) fell on me during a Tornado when I was 16. I had an out of body experience and was given a choice whether or not to renter my body.. our Creator allowed me to do a Franklin Close as part of deciding what to do!  This all happened on a coed YMCA canoe trip through the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the Adirondacks.  I spent time in a Body Cast with a broken hip, broken pelvis my bladder had been burst while full of urine and I had extensive internal injuries but bounced back fast enough that less than a year later I tried out for the Baseball team then Senior Year I ran Cross Country and Track and threw Javelin in College where I was also on the Sailing Team Washington College Chestertown MD.  so much more to recount but gotta return to sleep am self employed running three businesses! I would enjoy communicating with classmates if anyone wants to call me at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile/Viber.. or by email jham@iahf.com www.iahf.com www.sulfurforhealth.com. www.no codexgenocide.com. www.sulfurforhealth.com  

I just ran across this today and remember so many people although I was in summit schools first grade thru fifth, and then ninth grade, graduated from watchung hills hi school. I remember bruce atkinson and Larry grafas and bill white the best. Madeleine calabreze used to live across the street from Lincoln school and would go home for lunch. Mrs linstead was the teacher in first grade,

Rest in Peace Anthony and Steve.  Despite the now many years gone by, I still thought of you both as friends.  Too soon to go. PML  

Eric (Rick) Lemcke of 1975 or 1976 alumni passed away last week.

Eric was a pilot for 30 years flying cargo jets all around the world. Even though I lived in Millburn I met Eric at 15 years old and have many great memories as a kid with him.
He passed from heart complications way to young.

RIP my friend.

 

Mimi Allerton thoughtfully alerted folks on facebook to the death of our latin teacher Fredrich Moore, who passed away at the age of 81.  This is the link to his obituary, thank you Mimi.

Hello!  I am one of Tim Hyde\'s old friends and just heard the devastating news of his passing. If anyone has any information they could share with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

 Greetings Classmates:I am saddened to report that Dave Rosen\'s mother passed away on Thursday after a brief illness. Mrs. Rosen had a hand in so many Summit programs and organizations over her 5 decades in town. The link below to Mrs. Rosen\'s obituary gives more details. http://thealternativepress.com/articles/obituary-diana-burn-rosen--2Services will be held tomorrow, Sunday, 2/13 at 2:15 at Temple Sinai in Summit.I know we all send our thoughts and prayers to Dave and his family.

Here\'s that link again. Hopefully a little clearer:http://thealternativepress.com/articles/obituary-diana-burn-rosen--2 

Hey Folks - Just a simple New Year\'s Eve message :

It was beyond great to see everyone in 2010 - My BEST wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2011 to each and everyone of you and your families !!

Godspeed until next time !!!

I don\'t remember still feeling this warm and fuzzy almost four weeks after the 20th reunion.  Of course these days I don\'t remember much past a few days.  Only thing wrong with 35 was it wasn\'t long enough and I didn\'t get to visit with enough people for enough time.  What a great reunion!  Thank you to the committee for everything.  BTW - If anyone has any questions about the music put together for the reunion I invite you to contact me directly: batkinson3@mac.com 

Sincere thanks to the reunion committee for arranging this celebration.  I enjoyed seeing everyone after so many years and sharing a memorable night.

What a true blast from the past.  Thanks again to Mimi and everyone else who worked so diligently to bring us all together for a weekend we\'ll always remember.  Can\'t wait for the 40th!  Maybe at the next reunion we can enjoy the sound track that Bruce put together.  I wonder if maybe he\'ll download it somewhere so we can enjoy it now and then of course later at the 40th.
Great work Mimi and Gang!  What fun!

A word of thanks to the organizing committee who made the weekend happen: I\'m one of those chronic "non-joiners" (refused to go to the prom) so planning a reunion is not something I would think to do, but now, I get it!  Thank you for making it happen. Everyone had a great time and I\'m just in awe of the organizers who gave it so much thought and effort. And to the rest of my classmates: it was nice to meet you all again on the "other side" of so many richly realized lives. By the way, Randy Granger gave me permission to give out his email so for all those who asked: rgranger@penncharter.com 

There was magical fairy dust sprinkled on every single event from Friday night through to Sunday brunch.   

A big thanks to Don Moriarty for the after parties he and Carolyn hosted so graciously at Casa Moriarty. 

Photos -- please keep them coming.  See the Photo Albums tab for instructions.    

 Just wanted to thank everyone who worked so hard, for so long, to organize a great reunion that people are still talking about!Everyone had a great time!Thanks for a very memorable weekend!Don

What a fantastic weekend!  Hat\'s off to the organizing committee for a job well done.  Get your thinking caps on and add or update your bio to the website.  See you all in 5 years, some sooner I hope.  Tom

 Just want to tell everyone involved with creating the 75 Summit High School Reunion Thank you. Just a perfect event. Myself and Toni will be forever greatful.

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

 "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."    -- John Lennon 

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

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!)

Overnight lodging is still available in the Summit train station.

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.

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

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.

Plan B ??

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

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!

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! 

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 ?  

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.  

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/

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."

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!

 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

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

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

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

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.           

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?

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

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!!!!

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.

Can\'t wait to see everyone In October.

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

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.  

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. 

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!

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

Greetings from Rahway State Prison.

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? 

Nice job on the website guys.

Greetings from Snowy Crested Butte, CO., where it doesn't always snow alot but it sure is cold.

Wow!  Looking forward to catching up with everyone.  Can't believe how fast time flies!  Where did all these years go?  Hope everyone is well.  See you guys next year.  Can't wait!

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

Can't wait.  Wouldn't miss it.  It will be nice to reconnect and see what everyone is up to these days!!!

Jimmy Mallon shared the sight with me.

LOOKING FORWORD TO THE SEEING EVERYONE

I'll pass the word to have others sign the guest book.

Hey everyone, looking foward to the reunion.  Loved the story about the elk lodged in your fence. I should be getting ready for church right now instead I'm LMAO.  Take care all.

I saw Peter Laughlin at soccer sigh-ups, where else at SHS cafe.  He said you must sigh up here.  Here I will be.  Looking forward of course to reunion35.    ps Sheila Bonnell aiso said to sigh up. 

I ran across Sheila Bonnell today who told me about this site.

Jimmy Mallon told me i have to do this.

Where is everybody?

Where's Sally Taylor and Karen Winslow?

Looking forward to the reunion
