Historic Ossining Video

This video produced by Ossining Village Historian, Dana White, shows Ossining in its glory days... the Ossining we grew up in.  It's sad to watch the beautiful historic buildings disappear in the name of "urban renewal," but it's worth taking the time to watch and reflect on the wonderful years that we all remember.

65@70 Birthday Bash in the Carolinas?

Following our 50th reunion last year, many people expressed an interest in not waiting until our 55th to get together again.  With that in mind, some conversation has taken place among classmates on Facebook regarding planning a 65@70 Birthday Bash in the Carolinas in the Fall of 2017.   I'm willing to organize a gathering in the Charlotte, NC area and Rita Rolls Beirne has offered to help with organizing something in the Charleston, SC area.  We could do one or the other location or BOTH.  It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from one area to the other, so we could plan events in both places over several days.  It's not too soon to start thinking about this, so please contact me to let me know if you'd be interested in attending and which area you'd prefer... or if you'd be willing to go to both areas.  Many people have already offered to help in any way they can.

Ed McCaffrey (husband of Linda Calabro McCaffrey) Meets the Dalai Lama

EJ McCaffrey, son of Linda Calabro McCaffrey, shared this photo and news on Facebook.  

"My father truly has the luck of the Irish. Went to his cancer check up and found out he is cancer free; and then met this guy on his way out….."

Great news that Ed is now cancer free!

David Perugini

Tony Blaumauer – the older brother of our classmate Frank Blauer – has been a good friend to my father (Philip Perugini, Head Custodian at OHS during our school years). He takes him to play golf and on various outings to ’tip a few’ together. Last week I was picking up my Dad at one such outing at the American Legion Post 1597 in Crotonville, when Tony said, “Check out who’s behind you — from the Class of '65!” It was John (‘Jack’) Garrett, looking good, trim and very much like the Jack we knew in 1965! It turns out that Jack often accompanies my father and Tony on their golf outings. Jack explained that he had planned to attend our 50th, but a last minute family situation interfered. Check out the shirt Jack was wearing - Class Spirit is strong in Jack!
