Washington Trip 1963



We looked great!

Here's an Oldie!

This was a 6th grade dance at Round Meadow.  Can you recognize anyone?  I see a few that I remember.
(Click on the picture to enlarge it enough for your old eyes to see!)

Thanks to Robin Wright for supplying the picture!

Hello Gorgeous!

A lot of us are on Facebook or have kept in touch through the years.  So we know what some of us look like now.  But others haven't been so fortunate to see each other recently.

So...how about we post some up-to-date pictures here?

If you would like your picture posted, e-mail it to me at    pistilli2012@ymail.com    and I can post it for all to see.  Or send me a message on Facebook and I can grab your picture from there.

We were a great looking class back in '63 - and I'm sure we all look just as great now!

Coming From Far and Near...

For those of us who have moved away from Willow Grove, we working on some hotel deals for the reunion weekend.

Sandi (Granato) Belli is scouting out some sites for us and doing some wheeling and dealing to get good rates.

So far, she's checked 2. There's a Days Inn at 245 Easton Road, Warrington, which would be near the restaurant for October 5.  We can have rooms blocked for us.  But you'd need to call by September 5 (mention UMHS reunion) to guarantee a room.  $89.99 + tax for each night with a free Continental breakfast in the morning.  Phone 215-674-2500.

Also Hampton Inn, 1570 Easton Road, Warrington.  Prices are higher, $169 or $189 for a suite  They said we should call for reservations ASAP.  Phone 215-343-8400.

There are a few others Sandi will check, maybe some closer to Willow Grove.  We'll update this post when we have more information.

So start thinking about getting a group together to share a room - remember all the old slumber parties, girls?  We can party all night!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I know that we're all gorgeous now, but wouldn't it be fun to see how we looked way back then?

If you have any pictures that we could post on picture boards, send them on.  Prom pictures, the Washington trip, parties, dances, weddings, football and basketball games, the Thanksgiving Parade, the 250th Anniversary of Willow Grove - anything at all.  I'm sure some of you have shoe boxes full of old pictures.

You can scan them and e-mail them to Donna (dllindsey@sbcglobal.net) or mail them to her at:

Donna (Dreisbach) Lindsey
6153 E Calle Pantano
Anaheim, CA 92807

Please send good clear copies, not the originals, and don't forget to identify the people in the picture.  We might recognize the faces but not be able to remember the names!

We'll post as many as we can on boards at the reunion so we can all "ooh and aah" over how young we looked!

We're doing great on the updates!  So far, we have 63 classmates located and posted.  Keep up the good work!

Don't forget to check the list of the missing and if you know ANYTHING or have any idea at all where to start looking for these classmates, leave a comment on the Joe DiMaggio post.

And don't forget to post your current information, if you haven't done so already, on the Update post above (not on this one).

You Oughta Be In Pictures

We're on the lookout for elementary school pictures.  Donna Dreisbach Lindsey is looking for pictures from Woodlawn, in particular class pictures from Mrs. Welsh's 3rd grade and Miss Morell's 6th grade.  Does anyone have one stored away somewhere?

How about the other elementary schools?  Any class pictures available?

Wouldn't it be great to see how we've all changed?  For the better, I'm sure!

If you have any pictures, comment below and we'll get hold of you to let you know where to send the pictures.
