Subj: Elementary School PicturePete: Looking forward to see you on Saturday night. My brother Mike sends his regards (says you were too slow stocking shelves at the supermarket)
Attached is my 6th grade elementary school class from Carnell. I’m the guy in the middle of the lower row with too much Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in his hair.

Subj: Moore Kindergarten Picture
Dear Pete,
Hope all's well. I am sending you the Moore Elem Kindergarten picture Fall 1957. Can you put it on the class website and or anywhere else that's appropriate. Thanks! I'll be in touch late.

Hi Pete,
I thought I'd send you a caption to the kindergarten photo, I thought it might be helpful. (Next time you send out a group email.) If I got any names wrong, please anyone correct me. There are several people I cannot remember at all.
To the best of my ability, the little ones in the photo are, from bottom left:
me, Larry Inver, Elissa Black, Ricky Segal, ?, ?, Penny White, Arthur ?
Stanton Zucker, Merle Gay, ?, Bonnie Kaufman, Linda Pollack, Sherry Weiner
Dennis Brown, Lynne Greenberg, Robert Faber (I think), Roslyn Katz, Michael ?, you, Jeffrey Weiner
Bruce Bell, Ilene Rittenberg, Sydria Schneider, ?, Gary Turetsky (who could name all the presidents in order and I remember in 2nd grade they pulled him out of the class and he skipped a grade, or went to Masterman or something--I guess it really made an impression on me), Susan Bass, and the next girl--her name is on the tip of my tongue, I'm sure it will come to me...)
Whew!

Subj: Elementary SchoolHi Lynne et al,We were in classes together from kindergarten thru 4th grade, I believe. Mrs. Weiss-kinder, Mrs Heinz & Mrs Meyers-1st grade, Mrs Wechsler-2nd grade, Mrs Liebman-4th grade (then I had Mr Myerov and Miss Ronaghan).Wechsler was a horror. She was very critical and mean. You never knew what she was going to do. Mrs. Shideleff was wonderful. I recall she had been an interpretor at the UN. Our class learned a poem in Russian and the TV news came in and filmed us. I still have my Russian schoolbooks she ordered for us, but I can't read them at all. She cont'd to teach us Russian during 4th grade when we had Mrs. Liebman.Lynne, you're in the kinder class picture I have. Do you still have it? Pete, I will post it one of these days! Lynne, I'm so glad you chimed in.I remember joining the Brownies in second grade (I think) when my mother surprised me and became a troop leader. Any other Brownies out there?Does anyone know the whereabouts of Marcus Marutani, our NE school president?Eileen M (Is Ilene Rittenberg out there anywhere?)

What was the name of the teacher who looked like Walter Mathau's grandfather? We used to bounce rubber stoppers in his room when he turned around to write something on the board.
We were bad.
Hello Pete,I tried to email you from the Reunion website but I'm not too sure if it went through. This is to inform you that my husband, ROBERT J. LIBBY, died from lung cancer on August 7, 2001. He is survived by his wife, Patty and two children, Bobby and Allison.Thank you and I hope the Reunion is a success - have one for Bob!Sincerely,Patty Libby

Bert Diamond here. My first posting on this blog. I really appreciate reading some of the other entries. Thanks to Mimi Shapiro for persevering and finally getting a hold of me on the phone……I been living in Portland Oregon (35 years) with my wife and two grown up kids. Empty nesting is great! I’m a middle school engineering teacher and play in three bands a few nights a week. I went to Solis Cohen and then of course Wilson Jr. High. My friends at Northeast were Sue Freimark, Bruce Cohen, Richie Cutler, Warren Rosen (a year older), Larry Bernstein, Sid Bernstein, Elliot Rappaport, Eric Ferleger (spelling), and some other guys. I took the bus to Gratz College. (Where is that yearbook to look up the names?)………..I am debating whether to fly in October for the 40th reunion. Who is going to be there and what are the activities? ………Signed: - Reunion Newby-
Hey Bert,
I remember you from Solis Cohen elementary school. It's great to hear from you again. I can answer your questions regarding the reunion. Many classmates will be there. According to statistics, the 40th reunion is one of the most well attended. Our limit is 330 tickets so please register early. We had 274 at our 30 year reunion and 232 at our 35 year reunion. The list of attendees for both reunions is included on our website. The activities include registration, cocktails, Hor D'ouevres delivered butler white glove style, Dinner buffet, Class Photograph, an encore performance by our class of '69 band "Not Collidge Mateerial", dancing, reminiscing with friends and classmates, playing "guess that classmate after looking at photo nametags, etc. etc. Everyone will have a good time. Please join us. We really want to see you again!

It’s so great hearing these old stories. It makes you realize how much “simpler” life was back then – before guns being brought to school and all the pressures that kids have today! Anyway…Here’s a couple pictures I found from days at J. Hampton Moore & (I think) Wilson - if you’re able to post them.
J Hampton Moore 1963
Hi Everyone.
It's been so wonderful to reconnect and walk down memory lane. Everyone has jogged my memory and evoked so many memories of growing up in the "Great Northeast".
I went to Spruance and remember so many of the same events. When I was at Penn State, I actually spent a term working one day a week at Spruance. When I ran into some of my old teachers, they were happy and yet felt a little old that their 3rd or 4th grader was now a college freshman. I fondly remember banking days, bringing "milk money" in the little envelope, playing on the monkey bars in the school yard, and yes, those air aid drills (thankfully we were never attacked).
As so many of you, I vividly remember where I was when JFK was assinated. I was in history class at Fels (which, due to overcrowding was held in a shop classroom). Gloria Kay's mother came in and told our teacher that Kennedy had been shot. I must have been in shock as I boarded an almost silent school bus for the ride home. As I walked down Kindred Street, nearly everyone was outside, holding transister radios listening to the latest news updates. Over the weekend we were all transfixed on the television, watching Walter Cronkite tell us the unbelievable news that JFK had died and then watching as Lee Harvey Oswald was shot on live t.v. by Jack Ruby.
I've just joined our Facebook page and have reconnected with several of my friends who go way back to my days at Spruance.
I'm trying to arrange my schedule to be in Philly for the reunion. Hopefully I'll be able to be there and reconnect and reminisce.
