A BIRTHDAY PARTY - 2011

Sunday, July 10th. Happy 65th Birthday Party !
The Eastern 65th Birthday Party was a success. We had 52 alums there and lots of spouses. Even though Cleveland was in the 90's, under the shade of the pavilion and the trees I thought it was quite comfortable. Frank Jacono sent me the first picture, one that includes most of us. Some folks showed up late so I can't guarantee how many of us are in Frank's picture and there are some heads in the background that will remain anonymous. Pictures are on page 3.

The weekend was an opportunity for out of town alums to see family, reunite with friends, etc., but for 3 of us we had a special occasion. Rick Doesburg, Don Barr and myself drove out to Western Pennsylvania played gold with Mr. Kingzett. I find it hard to call him "Bill" but it was all first names at the course and we had a ball. I can tell you if you plan on challenging "Bill" you better be a pretty good golfer. Bill can still hit a golf ball and he looks great. I only hope to look that good at 80. His course is Whispering Pines near Meadville, Pa, not far from the Ohio border. They all call him "Coach" out there.
With the golf, Bar Louie at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst and the picnic I couldn't ask for a better weekend. Thanks to all of you that made that happen. I was asked if we could have a picnic every year.

Additionally, I received a copy from the Brush Alumnae Association about their latest inductee into the "Wall Of Achievement". The recipient is Don Barr. Congratulations Don. I missed Lucy Mady Sulhany as an inductee into the Wall of Achievement. Previous recipients (that I know of) have been Peggy Siegel and Les Levine. Buck Cummings was voted into the Hall of Fame for his back to back wrestling titles in 1963 and 1964. All great accomplishments. If I have missed anyone else please let me know .

Jim
