Does anyone know where Jimmy Goff is? He was in our class until he transferred to another school, maybe Lexington Christian. Donna Widell would like to find him. I think his dad was my guidance counselor in junior or senior year. (poor guy!) Anne

After living in FL since 2005, Mom and I (still with 2 cats) have moved back to MA. Nice weather just wasn't enough, missed family and friends. So we packed up, drove "home" and now live in Chelmsford. Best, Debbie

Wow, this site is fantastic! I just learned that there is a 40th reunion comming up soon. Sorry I cannot make it, but wish all of you have a wonderful time. After '68, I went to BC, then to UC Irvine in California and I've been in Southern California ever since. I've been married to another Physics major for 25 years and have 2 kids. My daughter just got married last month. I started a small company about 30 years ago and I've been strugling & enjoying ever since! (No retirement for a long while!) Does anybody have any info on Mr. Downing? May be Jim Watts, Smitty, Chris Sikes, Guzzy know where he is? I just want to let him know that Drafting and running have been integral part of my life and want to thank him. I ran about 5 half & full marathon and will try another half in Feb. (That's in between tennis & ping pong workout.) Well, 'hope to see you guys soon,,,may be @ 45th reunion??? 'Till then, stay healthy and enjoy life! Yoshi

Hi Everyone, I have been in Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) for 14 years and it is so cool to see all these pictures of everyone and hear that you have been getting together! So neat to see all of you from the 35th reunion and the luncheon get togethers. I have two children and four granchildren with another one on the way. My son still lives in Belmont and my daughter is here in Florida with me. I hope to make it to the 40th. Bonnie

Some of us just couldn't wait for the big 40th reunion, so we had a smaller gathering at Fenway Park -- great Right Field rooftop seats to see the Red Sox play the White Sox (Sunday Aug.31). LHS Class of '68 alums joining me for a great afternoon in the sun were Chris (Kiffer) Sikes, Jim Woodberry and Jim Hayes. Look forward to seeing everyone in November!Dick

Am I the only one who is outraged at the recent TV ads for "Enablex"?  It seems the balloon with bladder control issues is able to head on off to his/her reunion after taking said medication.  Watch the ad -- the final scene has a banner over a group of happy balloons -- CLASS OF 68!
Every time I have to get up out of bed at 3 a.m. to ...... 
Oh well.  I hope to be able to make it back for the reunion.  My new associate pastor should be able to keep an eye on things by then. Paul

I had a wonderful dinner with Fiske School alum Paola Fano and her family in my Chapel Hill NC home yesterday.  What fun to catch up on 40 years of history and meet new people.  Paola contacted me after my recent communication with the class. Like some others in our class, she
did not graduate with us, but was at LHS for the first 2 years. Carolyn

 Hi--it is great to have this opportunity to learn what people have done in 40 years time.  Classmates are living all over the place and I have had to opportunity to reconnect with Fiske School friends Betsy Mead, Sally Stern, and Winky Wright. And I am anticipating a visit to my North Carolina home by a few of them!  IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN CREATING MEET-UPS in other parts of the country?  I wanted to explore that idea.  EMAIL ME at carolyn.leith@duke.edu if you are interested and we will talk.  Carolyn

I ran into Dave Ahern today who told me about this web site, and was thrilled to see so many names and photos of people from my Lexington life. I live in southeastern Vermont, where I run into Jim Woodbury and Dave Ahern occasionally. And Kathleen (Kandy) Dwyer lives in Vermont and we are still good friends. Would love to come to the 2008 reunion - if I am allowed in! (I did not graduate from Lexington High, but ended up going to Northfield Mt. Hermon School in W. Mass, at the same time Richie Herbold was there).  I've been working as an occupational therapist in public schools, with kids with all kinds of disabilities. My kids are Alyse 20 and Shayna 23, one a dance and anthro major and the other a college grad living in Portland, Oregon. Both are redheads (genetically predisposed for this) and creative spirits. Life is good, most days... Would love to hear from my Lexington classmates. Jean

What a great web site this is. I just stumbled on it looking for other "Lexington" sites. Yup Jim and I have been married for almost 33 years. Dated all through college for him and nursing school for me. We have 2 great young adults. Our son Mike is a Sargent in the USMC currently in Iraq. He has been in now for 7 years. My daughter Beth is climbing the management ladder at Macy's. She loves graphic design and has a great eye for it. I /we (if i can drag him) would like to make the 40 yr reunion. If Bobby is out there - Hi hope all is well. Joan

Just updating my email... but I might as well entetain you with a story--enjoy!
At a Golf Club they had never played before, four friends met to play 18 holes…
One was a Doctor, a Lawyer, a clergyman, and an Engineer.

It was a beautiful warm day, bathed in bright sunlight, and they were having a wonderful time until they caught up with the foursome ahead of them.  This other foursome was very slow, painfully slow.  The four friends were becoming very irritable and angry.  Finally a grounds keeper appeared and the 4 friends complained about the painfully slow group ahead of them.

They asked what gives?  We spent good money to play here! Apologetically the grounds keeper explained:

Oh, that foursome is the Blind Firefighters!  Some years ago they saved our clubhouse, but unfortunately due to the fire they we blinded.  We really appreciated what they did for us, so we let them play for free whenever they like…

The clergyman was taken aback, oh my goodness he said, I am so sorry to hear that, maybe if I pray for them it will help to heal them.

The doctor responded similarly:  Maybe there is something I can do for them, I know a world renowned eye specialist who owes me a favor.

The lawyer said:  I wonder if the city has done everything it could have to prevent this— I may be able to get them some compensation.

The engineer, who was 1) highly focused, 2) task oriented, and 3) had been taught to think outside of the box, asked:    Why can't they just play golf at night?

Wow.  It was really fun looking at pictures of everyone!  (Looking good, Charlie!)  Wish I could have been at the reunions, maybe next time.  I'm still married to the same great guy after 37 years - yikes!  We own and operate a small pharmaceutical business, and have a great time with it.  (No "gimme drugs" jokes, please!)  Our daughter is almost 20 now, at Keene State and hoping to transfer to Cornell next year for pre-veterinary.  Hello to everyone!  Paul (Norcross), great to see your notes here.  George (Redick) - loved the pictures of you as well.  Marti (now calling myself Martha)

I have just moved to Maine last month. After spending 20 years in Hollis, NH I have relocated to Cape Neddick Maine. I am 3 miles from Ogunquit Beach which will be great in the summer. We are in the process of finishing up a barn to bring the horses home. We have two Morgan Mares - they are staying back in Hollis until we are totally ready. I have never had them at home so here we are in our 50's and I will be a 'farmer' soon. Marcia

My God! Did I really go to school with all those OLD people? Life in Florida continues to be good; the cold spell is over and the pool heater is working so we should be back in hot water in about a week. I'm teaching again this semester -- were we really as naive as today's college students? Best to all and GO PATS! Paul

What a joy to discover this web site. I browsed through all the pictures from the reunion and felt a twinge of regret that I was unable to attend. I've been in Florida for over 17 years and stay very busy. I'm the Sr. Pastor of Emmanuel Church in Palm Harbor (www.emmanuelpalmharbor.org), the chaplain at a retirement home and an adjunct professor at Eckerd College. I know it's kind of late in the season, but if anyone is gong to be in the Clearwater/St. Petersburg area of Florida on spring break or vacation, I'd love to hear from you. Paul

Could you please post a shout out to Richard Leek and let him know I lost his e-mail address. I think he found my address by looking in the "Hi" notes and directory. So hopefully he'll look again and find the messge. I don't want him to think I "diss'ed" him. On the contrary , I'd really like to talk to him. Thanks Carol. Pixie

I wish to extend my appreciation to all who assisted in making the 35th class reunion a success. My last reunion was the 20th, so I was surprised and delighted to see many of us show up. It was also wonderful to catch up with friends from the past and to hear stories of life and loves. Thanks again. Love, Deborah Corbettt Voutselas

From: Trudy Busa McGarvie
I have to say that if it wasn’t for her interest in organizing the 1st Annual Holiday Reunion and the wonderful website, perhaps we would not have had a 35th Reunion.   Carol deserves most of the credit for getting me/us motivated in getting together with our classmates. Being able to set aside some time to reminisce and reunite with old friends was great. I am looking forward to the 40th, and I think the three of us made a pretty good team. Lynn thanks so much for your expertise in leadership, work on prior reunions, and taking care of the class fund. Hope our reunions will become better and grow larger with every year. Lets keep spreading the word.   Go, class of 68. Thank you again Carol, for all the work you have done. You are appreciated and loved. Thank you to everyone who came and showed interest in the reunion, you have made it a pleasure and a success. To the people who have passed on at so young an age, I pray for their souls. Especially to Jim Ferro, (you are sorely missed). I know he was there. I believe that the people who were able to talk, email, or see Jim the last few weeks before his death, were truly blessed, you will have those memories forever. As we were blessed seeing him at the annual Holiday Reunions. Take Care and God Bless You All. Trudy(Busa)McGarvie

Hello everyone. So sorry to be missing this great event. I have been living in the Richmond, Virginia area since 1968. My husband Jim and I have been married for 32 years. We never had any children, but have raised many pound puppies. Jim is in the car business working for Saturn and I have used my creative juices over the past years doing everything from working in a fashion office helping with fashion shows to designing and making wedding dresses. I hope a great time will be had by all at the reunion and I will look forward to seeing pictures on the website. Ricki

From: Mike (Patrick) Friedman
Hello all of Class of 68. This sight is a godsend of information for people like me to reminisce and see how and where everyone is. I want to thank Carol for spending her time in doing something as gracious as this website is. To everyone else I have been happily married to a wonderful woman for 23 years, ( I started late), and am living in the little town of Seabeck, WA. It is almost directly west of Seattle and across the Sound on the Hood Canal peninsula. In reading all the emails from my fellow classmates the memories keep coming back. It makes me sad that there are so many gone and that only a few were close, Fred James and myself went into the Army together back in 69. We went thru boot camp and advanced infantry training. He went to Korea I to Nam. Paul Gilman, How the heck are you? Haven't heard your name (or seen a picture) in many years. I am sorry to say that I am not going to be able to attend this reunion but I will be thinking about what I'm going to miss. Happy Thanksgiving and Safe holidays. Mike

From: Jim Potter
There are many things in my life that have changed during the past decade. One significant event was the departure of my (now ex-) wife, leaving me a single parent with three teenagers to raise. What you may be asking, does that have to do with the LHS reunion? Well, it sets the stage for the reason that I am unable to attend the 35th reunion: I am getting married on the 29th of November and will be spending that evening at my wedding reception, instead of attending a reunion.  You have my best wishes for a good time and lots of memories for that night; I will be creating my own set of memories!

Hello to all my friends from Class of '68..It's been WAY too long and I should have written this long ago, but here goes. I have lived in Winthrop, MA for the past 25 yrs. with my wonderful wife Mary Ellen of almost 30 yrs. My daughter Hilary (18) is attending Marian Court College and my son Jeremy (22) is going to Bunker Hill and working for a local Day Care center. My oldest son Steven (27) is living in East Boston with his girlfriend and their (our grandson) spectacular little boy Ryan. He just turned two :) And last of all , my baby Tess, she's a 9 yr old Golden Retriever and the best friend in the world !!! I still work in East Boston with my dad in our family business( Al's Shoe Store ). I'm happy to say that business is picking up ! We celebrated our 79th year in business last September. Enough of the family..I'm upset with myself for not keeping in touch with my friends since graduation. I look at the pictures from the brunches you have had (it seems like they fall on days when I can't make due to business). It will be very strange to see my friends, even though I probably won't even recognize anyone. Many changes. The 40 pounds I've added on since any of you who might remember me certainly will make for a good laugh. There's one thing that will NEVER change, THE MEMORIES..so many, most are good:)  I wish I could list them, but I'm sure you're bored enough.  I will definately be at the 35th Class Re-Union. I cant wait to reminese(never a great speller). I've never stopped thinking of all my friends. Now it's time to start all over again. Feel free to write to me -- I would love to hear from anyone..! Be safe and healthy. Bob

Aloha to the Class of '68 from Lou Salza and Dell Petschek. We were impressed by the website and enjoyed the photos as well as the notes from classmates. Dell and I have been living in Hawaii - temporarily - for the past 7 years. We came so that I could take a position as head of a school here for dyslexic and gifted kids. Dell is supervising Healthy Start home visitors and thinking about directing a pilot project in conjunction with a prevention project at Harvard Graduate School of Education. We have 2 daughters, ages 28 and 25, in DC and NYC - much too far from home. We also have a foster son in Albany with a wife and two sons. We look forward to seeing everybody at the 35th. Lou

Hello to all my '68 classmates! I can't quite believe that it's been 10 years since the last reunion. I just found out about this website from Joyce Hamel Marshall. It's wonderful to read all the news.   I've been married to Gene Whitney for 31 years and living in Vermont for all of them. Our daughter, Amanda, 23, is a UMaine graduate, working in the local middle school (saving $ for grad school), with special needs students. Geno and I are in the high school;Geno teaches math and I teach learning disabled students. These kids keep us young with a sense of humor.   I see Jim Woodberry on occasion and he keeps me filled in on some of our classmates.   My dad still lives in Lexington, so I get down here a few times a year. It sure has changed over the years. Would love to hear from anyone. Melissa

One of the last of the Viet Nam Era draftees - was medic in the 1st Infantry. Got into computer programming. Married Ellen Sutcliffe from Bayshore, Long Island. Have two boys: Mike 17 at Academy at Swift River, and Matt 20, a sophomore at UVM. Live in Hamilton, MA. Have worked for Fidelity Investments for 15 years.

I've Been down in Sunny Florida since 1977 - hard to believe. Married with 3 dogs and 2 cats. no kids. Spend most of my free time volunteering for Springer Spaniel Rescue , taking my dog to visit folks at Nursing Homes, still doing artwork and trying to register voters! So stop laughing about Florida elections! I'm working the polls at the November Gubernatorial election so pray for me - no more dimpled chads! I will probably work for AT&T Global Network until I'm 80, since I didn't start seriously working until 1982 - I took my retirement up front. Peace to all, Kathie

Hello Everyone! Hope more than a few are hooking up to this site. Looking forward to seeing lots of you guys in December. Ran into Jim Ferro this past summer who put me in touch with Carol Bateson. She flew into Boston last week and she and Trudy Busa drove up to meet me for lunch. We had the best time catching up sharing our lives and remembering the "GOOD old days". WE smiled, laughed, hugged, took pictures and promised not to let too much time go by before we do this again. Well I would love to chat. I'm living in Gloucester. Happy,Healthy.peaceful, and loving life. Pixie

Hi Everybody! Just found this site -- I LOVED the photos. Have been in Maine for 30 years, settling in the Waterville area about 20 years ago. Work for Colby College in student counseling services - great job, with marvelous colleagues. I enjoy village life in East Vassalboro, with house, partner, ancient cat and new young dog. Would love to hear from people, and hope to make one of the get-togethers. Jan

Greetings former classmates! I missed this year's gathering as I was away. Really sorry to have missed my Adams School chum Charlie Page. Hi Charlie! Stayed local after graduation, but went to graduate school in Slippery Rock, PA. Taught in the Lexington Schools for a few years and worked at Audubon's Drumlin Farm before launching a career in training and development/human resources/consulting. I still live in Lexington - the East End where I played with Annie McNamara, Linda Potzka, Jackie Cavanaugh, Janet Carota, and Denise Cahill among others. Our "secret" woods is now a playground, but the echoes of our childhood are still there. Commute to Boston where I work as a Career Consultant. Hope to see you at the next event. Happy Healthy and Peacefilled 2002. Elaine

"I think it is wonderful that Carol and others have taken the time to create and maintain this site. It is hard to imagine that it was so long ago since we graduated. I guess some of our classmates have continued to age. Well, I, for one have always stopped counting at 39. I travel all around North America on business, but live in Acton, Mass with my wife and 2 kids. It is great to see the list of emails and try to remember who is who and what various things I can remember about my classmates. I plan to look at my schedule and see if I can arrange to be local for the upcoming December reunion. It would be great to see some old friends and acquaintances and get caught up on the various adventures and accomplishments that classmates have achieved in their lives. I would welcome emails from former classmates to see what has happened in your life. Best of luck, success and good health to the entire Class of 1968 and your extended families. Bob

"I love this website! It's great to read what everyone is doing! I am living in Tewksbury, MA and have a great husband and two wonderful stepdaughters! One is 18 and the other is 14. We are currently on the college search! My mom and brother are still in Lexington so I am there quite a bit. I have run in to a few classmates on my travels, but do miss seeing everyone! I am eager to catch up at the next reunion! I'm currently working for HP! With the events of the past month and the economy we are hanging on by a thread! I did teach for about 10 years and still miss working with kids. As I get older, (I know we're all older) I realize that jobs need to be a happy place! By the way, I ran in to our History Teacher about a month ago, who was out here from California, Mary McConnon. I have passed the website on to her as well! She has been traveling the world and is truly enjoying retirement! Thanks to all who have created this great website. It's a really positive way to stay connected to our roots!"Celia

"I thought I'd show my high-school-age son something about my hometown, which he's only seen once (when he was 2) and was very pleased to find this great website. I've been in the Midwest for 21 years, 19 of them in St. Paul-Minneapolis. What's it like? Here's one example: no one here believes me when I tell them I went to Girl Scout camp at Walden Pond. I do miss New England and especially the ocean..... but this is quite a good place to live nevertheless. Governor Jesse keeps things interesting(!). Andrea Bond is not too far from me in St. Paul though I haven't seen her for quite awhile, and David Grayson lives in Minneapolis. I think there's someone else out here from '68 but can't remember (well after all, I just turned 51). I no longer have relatives in Lexington and haven't visited recently, so it's nice to see the photos. My kids and I sometimes travel to Mass. in the summer and I'd like to show them the town for real one of these years. In light of the recent events that have changed all of our lives forever, it seems even more important to remember where we're from. Take care everyone, best wishes. --Christine

"It was nice to find this web page! I'm alive and well and living in Calgry Alberta. In fact, I've been living in Canada for 31 of the last 33 years. It would fun to participate in a reunion, but it is rather unlikely given the distance. I was back in Lexington a few years ago and quite taken with nostalgia. Sure was a fine place to grow up!! All the best from your classmate in the wild west of Canada. Paul

It's good to see the internet has blossomed to include this site and others like it to let everyone from past days find each other again. It was a treat for me to attend the 20th reunion. I enjoyed meeting old friends an classmates. It was unfortunate I was out of touch with either Jeanne Joseph or Elaine Sullivan, who would have let me know about such matters. Now, I'll just check this site and Classmates.com for upcoming reunions and gatherings. Have a great summer. Chuck

This is a great idea! I am new to the e-mail circuit, I am loving it though. I am still in Lexington. I have inherited the family farming business with my two younger brothers. My husband also works at the farm. I have one daughter 23yrs. old. She is a nanny in Concord. She has a boyfriend of 5 yrs. but no plans for marriage. I don't think I am ready to become a grandma yet. I am still in touch with alot of classmates. Tom Rodgers and Kathy Blake, trying to get them to invest in a computer; Carol Noonan Whitehouse. I see alot of classmates about town and at the farm stand. If anyone needs to find someone I could probably hook you up. I have been spreading the word about this web page. Thanks Carol and Dawn. I am looking for Judy Callahan Howard last info. I have is Palm Beach, Florida. I am taking a computer course, which is fun learning all the short-cuts. Hope we can get together in the warm months also. I would be glad to help out. Best Wishes to all. Trudy Busa McGarvie

"I thought I was the only lunatic to move to California and worse yet stay heve for 31 years.. You can all laugh now. Yes we are running out of electricity, water, freeways and (clean air), but we have plenty of people and sunshine. Donahue if your reading this, say "hey". We may be neighbors. Any one else give me a hollar if you are in the golden state. It would be fun to hook up.. ps: 50 isn't so bad its looking back to 49 that hurts so much... Where did my youth go...??? Yeah I'm a grandad too.. little boy Tony. He will be 3 next month. First word "Futbol" second word "touchdown" still can't say Granpa very well. WE don't even have a football team in LA. You would think he would say GOOOOOOOAL!!! All the best to my fellow classmates, always proud to be a Minuteman. Blue and Gold are still my favorite colors. Its not my fault UCLA blows it every year...."Billy S.

" Hello! Just a note to update our classmates about a recent gathering on the Vineyard. Kathie Lima, Val Westerlund, and Ann Degan Johnson fought their way through traffic and storm to get to Martha's Vineyard for the weekend of April 1. Ellyn Baltz could not make it. After Kathie was re-routed thru Hyannis due to fog on the island, (two scary "fly by's" first!), we had a great time, had dinner at The Black Dog tavern, bought Black Dog stuff, told stories old and new, laughed an awful lot, and caught up on the last 30 years. Val's sister, Elaine, joined us in the melee. Plans have been started for another gathering in 2002, next time in Florida where the weather might be nicer! Claire

My youngest son, Aaron, graduates from Lexington HS on June 3. So as not to leave the other two kids out, Lowell received his Master of Arts in History from Shippensburg University in May 2000 and Stacey received her BA in History plus a teaching certification in Elementary Ed from Mary Washington College in May 2000. All are currently job hunting for either a summer job (Aaron) or "real work" (all the rest)! Ruth

My brother Doug still lives in Lexington, so we come down that way to visit him. Sue Allen Favereau and I see each other as much as we can. I went up to Maine for her son's wedding in December and last weekend we met in Portland, ME for lunch and laughing our heads off as usual. I would love to hear from you and please include me on the next event. I hope that everyone is well and happy." Bye, Deb

"What a great web site! So sorry I missed the reunion - I was sick as a dog and had 17 people arriving on the 24th! I reconnected with Mary Hayes a few weeks later (long story) and she led me to the web site. Seems like the world is getting smaller as we age. I, by the way, am not yet 50 (3 more weeks!) Let's do something in the warm weather when we're NOT 48 hours away from a huge holiday! I'd be happy to help organize. Thanks to Daun for the huge effort. And who built the web site? Is that you in there Carol? I'm nearby in Carlisle - my kids are/were at CCHS - our former rival! I see lots of alums there from other classes, but few from ours. I do have some addresses for people (residential, not e-mail) - do you want them? Keep me posted - can't wait for the next get-together". Go Minutemen! Karen
