Reunion Weekend Starts with a Football Game

We started the festivities on Friday night, October 19, with a visit to the Upper Moreland-Cheltenham football game at the high school stadium.  A new Astroturf surface was installed recently and many of us hadn't had the opportunity to see how nice it looks.

We met in the parking lot before the game to say hi to old friends.  Nora Rosenbaum, who handles the Alumni Association at the high school, was generous enough to get us free admission to the game and have our class announced.

It was Homecoming - how appropriate for us!  It was also Pink Out to raise awareness for breast cancer, so there was probably more pink than purple and gold attire. We sat together behind our new banner to cheer on the team.  Most of us left at halftime - it was downright chilly! - with UM leading.  However, Cheltenham came back in the second half and won the game.


Some pictures of the great Class of 1963!


Our new banner says it all!


Proof that we were really there for a game!


That's Tina Hollingsworth looking over toward Jeff Hassinger and his wife Betty, with Sue Ritchie in front.

Bonnie Mills and her man Tom Goodnow sitting next to Ruth Mohr and Chip Potter, Carole Lehman's husband.  Tom comes to all our events - we've made him an honorary alumni. And there's Jimmy McGhee looking over Chip's right shoulder.


John, Tina, Betty, Jeff, Sue, and Ray Roberts in the back.


Jimmy, me, Tony Pileggi and Sam Paone.



The always smiling Harvey and Jean Gordon - Jean's another honorary alumni.


Judy VonGerichten and Ruth - Judy came up from North Carolina and stopped in Virginia for Ruth.


Jeff and Betty.  Jeff was in our class through, I think, 11th grade.  He liked UM so much he decided to stay another year and graduate in 1964.


Chip, Carole Lehman, Karen West, Sandy Granato and Donna Dreisbach.


The never-aging Tony and Sam.


Ray looking pensive.
