Well, the first planning meeting for the 50-year reunion of CHS '65 was a success. We definitely planned to have a reunion, and decided that if anyone wants to come, they can.
As is typical of most any Catholic gathering, there was more food than the law allows, and the liquor flowed freely, though no one was drinking.

Ted Lawson revealed that we still had about $1.5million in the bank account, but David Hargrave corrected him by pointing out that John Costa had skimmed it all for himself.

Jessie Watson decided to have her own planning meeting at the Olive Garden, so we don't know what was decided there. Newlyweds Diane Faggioni and her husband Fred Cannon said they wanted to help, but their travel plans seemed to occur for any date that was mentioned.
All seriousness aside, a tentative date has been chosen--Memorial Day weekend, 2015--and a possible venue at Sanders Beach. These need confirmation. The next meeting will be the 25th of August at the Tyrone Branch Library on Langley Ave, also subject to confirmation.
We are moving forward. GO CRUSADERS!!

Catholic High Has A New Look

When we attended the anual fish fry, I noticed the front of Catholic High has a new look. The crusader has been removed. I don't know what happened to him. I am adding a picture at the left for you to see.
