From Peter:My older son just got married and lives nearby( see attached photo). My other 2 children, who are still single, live in Chicago.

Meanwhile, we've been been here in the Rochester, NY area for almost 25 years; I still work at Kodak. Anyway, we've been very fortunate! Thanks again to everyone who made the 50th a great success. Although I hope we all gather together again( 55th?), if we don't, we sure went out with a flourish!

Now

City:Redondo Beach State/Prov.:CA Occupation:Retired software executive Marital Status:Divorced No. of Children:1

From Steve:Am bummed I can't make it to the reunion, would love to see everyone. I've been retired for awhile now, raising my now 16 year old son as a solo parent; never imagined I'd ever be both mom and dad. I was very fortunate to have such great friends at both prep school and in Darien; so many most excellent memories.

Now picture is the same band as the Then picture, decades later (sans Rusty Wadhams on drums) at the most recent of a few Berkshire School reunions we've played. Prep school reunions include all classes and is fertile ground for fundraising, so it's a pretty big event. It was taken at our 50th reunion early this June, and we killed it! Represented 1969 with Rock n Roll, as it should be. Even the early 20's crowd went wild and amazingly knew quite a few of the songs (Hendrix remains alive and well, musically). Same band members, for those of you who might remember them, Richard "Motown" Muhlfeld on sax, Jimmy "Disease" Dean on bass, John Wayne on guitar, yours truly vocals and lead guitar. Richard Colligan on drums, whom some of you might know from Darien.

Have a great reunion! Wish I could be there.

From Chris:Wish I could be there for our 50th reunion but we're recovering from back surgery and unable to make the trip up to CT. Would love to see everyone

My wife and I haved raised 4 children and have been blessed with 14 grandchildren which keeps us pretty busy. I moved to GA 12 years ago for work and family reasons. All of the kids moved south after college and started their families down here as well as a job opportunity presented itself here in GA so I said why not.

Hope you all have a great reunion

Grace Joynt (Johnston)

Now

City:League city State/Prov.:TX Occupation:Interior Design Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2

From Grace:We are still living in Texas, closer to the water (and the boats). I am still working on some interior design projects and we travel often to SoCal where daughter and son-in-law have birthed twin grandsons who are 3...and are adding boy - girl twins in December!

Sandy McGill wrote a "prophecy piece" in my yearbook and I often marvel at how close to the truth it has become.
The title was "The Story of the Successful Nun".

I am NOT a nun but my spiritual journey would confirm Sandy's prediction.
I will miss the 50th ...another trip to California!
Hope you all have a great time.

Photo is our son, daughter, son-in-law and the twin grandsons.
