Valentine Mayer is the first to submit more photos of the Reunion. You can see them by clicking here.

Stephen Rostler saw the campus through different eyes.

David Othmer's Vineyard

Do You Remember . . .

When we started the PA 59ers web site, we added a Do You Remember page in the hope of stirring your memories. One of the first (and only) items added was a little note on Sam the Barber. Finally, one of you responded with your memories about "Sixty-second Sam." Read Lea Pendelton's note here.

Faculty Memories

The Faculty section has a page for each of our faculty There's not much to read here yet, so what we want you to do is help bring them back as you remember them. Each month or so we will feature two or three. Let us know what made them memorable -- kudos, quirks, quotes. In the spring several of you sent in some for Miner, Winnie Sides, and FAP (Thanks!). We then asked for your memories of three French instructors - Dr. Grew, Mr. Whitney, and Monsieur Symonds. Follow the links on their names to see the entries, and send in your own. This month we feature a trio of our coaches - Fred Harrison, Stephen Sorota, and Frank Diclemente. Click the links to their pages and read Mike Bassett's memories (and send me your own).

Then click here to send us an email with your memories. And we will add them to their page.

Alan Albright has created a movie, "Men of Yore" saluting our departed faculty.
