Immaculate Conception Class of 1953

Alice Love
So glad to hear from you but sad to hear you will not beable to attend the reunion. I understand about travel plans made in advance. As I read your e-mail I was thinking about your life & mine. So here goes, I too was married in 1962, still married to the same man 41yrs. later. He graduated from St John's in 1961 School of Pharmacy. We have 4 children, Charlie graduated from Manhattan College- research scientist, Alice graduated from St. John's teaches deaf children, John graduated from Fordham CPA and Annmarie graduated from Fordham- reading teacher in the Bronx. We have 10 grandchildren plus 2 on the way, expected 4/27 & 5/20. My husband is semi-retired so we get to travel & babysit our many grandchildren. Pat Venezian Daley decided to plan this reunion & I said I would help. We are hoping for a good turn out maybe about 35 people. Many thanks for the e-mail I'll forward it on to Pat. Take care & God bless. Alice

Dear Alice,
What a jolt to see all those names and feel memories flooding back.
I'd be very curious to see them after 50 (can you believe it?) years,
but we
have travel plans on that date that can't be changed. I'm really sorry
to miss the day.
I'm sure you'll be playing "What ever happened to?" so I'll give you a
quick recap of that big skinny kid, Drennan.
