wish there was a way to enter partial information of classmates as we are trying to find them.

With the Reunion a few scant weeks away, I know what you're all thinking, "What's a 'scant week'?" But many of us are also trying to figure out how to look our best by quickly shedding a few pounds. I have spent a bit of time researching the best ways to move from being Vince Wilfork's seesaw partner to waif thin, and here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:



QUESTION: Is their any diet that will allow me to lose weight without having to give up some of my favorite foodstuffs?

ANSWER: Yes. I recommend that you ingest a living Tapeworm.



QUESTION: What are carbs, and why should I care about them?

ANSWER: “Carb”ohydrates are little molecules that contain everything that tastes good… such as sugar. We have learned that carbs make you bloat, get heavy, lower SAT scores, and cause global warming.



QUESTION: Carbs seem to be the primary ingredient in all of the food that I enjoy. How can I eliminate these nettlesome compounds before they camp out in my love handles?

ANSWER: Leave the restaurant, go to the Spa across the street, and ask for a “Colonic”.



QUESTION: Can a healthy diet include the Chinese Food that I crave?

ANSWER: Sure, find an establishment that offers “No MSG”, and Free Range Chihuahuas.



QUESTION: How about Mexican Food?

ANSWER: Good idea. And, you’ll be able to skip the colonic mentioned above.



QUESTION: Can a Massage help me get into better shape?

ANSWER: NO… but who cares?



QUESTION: A lot of the women at my gym can lift more weight than me. Is there anything I can do to get stronger than them quickly?

ANSWER: No, but maybe you should leave your gym and join CURVES you “Sally”.



QUESTION: I can’t afford a home gym, can you suggest an inexpensive way to get a good cardio workout?

ANSWER: Sure, let your teenager drive you somewhere.



QUESTION: Any other ideas?

ANSWER: Sure. Smother your body in meat sauce and go for a swim in the waters off Chatham.



QUESTION: Can you suggest a way to raise my heart rate with less effort than these two ideas.

ANSWER: Okay, get an appointment to have your prostate examined.



QUESTION: There’s a lot of Home Gyms out there. How can I make sure to pick one that I will actually use?

ANSWER: Make certain that the design will allow you to hang a lot of clothes off of it

NHS is the only high school I have ever known to have sororities. What was that about?

Barbara Lombardo

Maureen - the sororities were "service organizations"
Tau Phi Gamma used to shop for the senior citizens on Saturday mornings ... or we were supposed to...

 I don't dare list all the names of the members on the reunion committee in the event that I forget one, but I just want to thank you all for  your hard work. The evening was perfect. The food was delicious, the music was great, the decorations were beautiful and the conversation was fun! Bob and I had the most wonderful time. It was fun to reconnect with high school friends and remember stress-free high school days. Thank you all very much. 

Warmly, Judy and Bob Carter

PS I will treasure my beautiful reunion mug for a long time!

It was so great to have the opportunity to reconnect with everyone at the reunion.  Kudos to the organizing committee and their hard work.

I would like to ante up my two cents worth too.
 
Thank you Lisa, Barb, Sandy, Donna and I know many others for putting on such a wonderful event. This was the most amazing display of turning something out of nothing since maybe the pilot of “Keeping up with the Kardashians”.
 
And what a fun time! 
 
It was great to catch up with everyone (including a couple of guys from the old ‘hood), and to join in with a bunch of fellow 55 year olds getting their freak on to a truly outstanding performance from the band (loved that Santana was in their repertoire!). I daresay there was more dancing going on last Saturday night than… well… in all of our High School Dances combined. Naturally, we all look just a tad older (note the use of the word "tad"). But everyone looked so good that I swear you’ve all got a portrait in the attic that’s aging in your stead.
 
For what it’s worth, I also thought it was a great touch to include the display of our classmates that have matriculated into the great hereafter into the ballroom. It made it seem as though they were sharing in our reverie too.
 
Sure the food and all was nice. But thanks especially for bringing everyone together, the laughs, glad handing, hugs and stories.
 
See you at the 42nd (What is that anyway… the Linoleum Anniversary?)!

I too want to chime in that I was sorry to miss it. Hard to get me to come back there except for family sitations as I do love living in Las Vegas. If anyone wishes to e-mail me when you are in the area, be glad to hook up and give you the where and where not to go to.

Hopefully will get back to the 42nd when we are all around 60.
