What Is Everyone Doing????

This year we are going......Bowling.

Yep. Bowling.

The lane by my house has 2 hour party blocks and we took the 7-9 slot. My wife, Cathy, and daughter, MAry, and I will be taking some of my daughter's friends (2 or 3) out for Extreme Bowling, the light shows, Prizes and Music. It should be fun.

Price is only $69 for up to 6 people with Pizza Soda and Bowling.

Hi to all,

I hope that nobody minds that I am using this site to solicit a web designer.  I figured somebody has to either be one or know one.  I need to build a website for my boutique.  If interested email me at jvaccaro@stajedesignsllc.com  Thank you to all.

I cannot believe that it has been 2 years since our 20 year reunion, and 2 years since I have posted a blog on this website!  What a pleasant surprise to see that the website that John created is still up and running.

Reminder of the Gathering


We've talked about doing it in the past. This Saturday, December 13th, we're having an informal gathering of the those members of the class of 86 who can attend. Here are the details:

Rachel returned to Spellman for the first time in twenty years to talk to the students about her career as an events coordinator at The Bronx Zoo.

Keith recently returned to Spellman to speak to the students about his career as a writer.

As I have mentioned here, I am currently the moderator of the writers club, the school paper, and the video club at my school. Two of these clubs are reboots, in many respects as they kind of fell by the wayside. The kids are eager to learn and want to participate, but we are missing some of the tools required to make these clubs run. The principal was very generous in getting the club a new computer to edit video footage and in purchasing one camera, but it looks like I may not get a second one as money is tight. In taking over the paper, I discovered the one camera the club has is gone and nobody seems to know where it is.

Greetings all. I hope this finds you all well. It's been awhile since I've sent anything out and I do apologize for that. Life, as John Lennon says, is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. Recently, I've been speaking to some alumni and the conversation always turns to our last reunion and the plans for a next. The next is only a few short years away (25th). I don't know who will be running the reunion, but I offer my humble services to whoever needs it. Also, the website continues, slow though the traffic has been, save for all the porn spambots trying to get in.

If you have a chance, take a look at the brand, spanking new look for the Cardinal Spellman website. It's in its infancy stages at the moment, but eventually you'll be able to learn more about the teachers, the courses offered, and the after school activities available. Students grades will be available to the parents. Check it out - http://www.cardinalspellman.org
