From Peter:
   I live on the coast of Maine. My daughter, Lila, lives a few miles away.
   After college I became a sign painter. I should have paid more attention in Mr. Cosgaria's class and learned to spell gooder.
   Now I specialize in gold leafing and decorative painting on antique vehicles for restorers, museums and collectors. Most of my work is on antique fire engines. I also do gilding and painting on yachts for local boat yards. In high school I found history class tedious. Now I thoroughly enjoy researching the antiques I am decorating. If I could have looked into the future from Falls High and seen myself now, I never would have believed it.
   I will be on a business trip during the reunion and will not be attending.

From Gordon :
Thanks.

I'd like the poets and troubadours to speak for me regarding our upcoming reunion. This is dedicated to a classmate, and that month between graduation and when I left for the Navy.
Thanks to The Boss, Meatloaf, Garth, Lynryd Skynard and Harry Chapin.

I got a deal for you right here
I ain’t looking for praise or pity
I ain’t coming round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch

I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's alright

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.

I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight, and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face

So you’ve been broken and you’ve been hurt
Show me somebody who ain’t
Yeah, I know I ain’t nobody’s bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...

I got a deal for you in October
I won’t be looking for praise or pity
I ‘m not coming round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And maybe, a little more of your touch

Cause

Through the too many miles
and the too little smiles
I still remember you.

From Susan:
Hi to all from sunny (and hot!) Florida.
Gosh....40 years! Amazing! I worked in the consumer finance industry for about 25 years... left that field and didnt work for about a year. Then, I made that decision to relocate to Florida to be closer to my mom and sisters in 2002.  I now work in the retail field and will probably stay there for a few more years...then, hopefully, semi-retire.
I have one daughter, Sheryl (will be 40 in September)... Her and her husband live in North Carolina and both are working with Nascar. He is a truck chief with the Craftsman Truck series. I have 2 grandaughters, Crystal (21) and Julia (17). Crystal is in 2nd year of community college studying medical management. Julia just graduated from HS...and, is now a NC State student.
Hope to be there in October, but not certain yet. Keep me posted as to happenings. And, if anyone remembers me, would love to hear from you.
