From Dave Schulz - Thank you for a wonderful night of catching up with classmates from '73 and seeing so many who you may have not thought of for many years.  Well done to the committee and big thanks!  Dave

From Ron Beliveau - Enjoy the event classmates.  Be sure to take lots of pictures (hopefully with name tags displayed and readable) so those who can't attend can share in the memories. 

From Mike Morra - Dear Class of '73,  Fifty years, tempus fugit!  Regrettably I won't be able to join you this weekend, but please know that I often think of our time together at AWHS - and many of you - with much fondness.  What a mix of emotions as I read of all your achievements and accomplishments, pondered the memorials to those who went before us, and reflected on all that has happened in this country and the world over those five decades.  Surely it would be trite to say, "what a long, strange trip it's been"?  Mind = blown!  I hope you feel as I do that the "Spirit of '73" still lives among us in those who share these memories and kept friendships alive over these many years.  My sincere wish for all is that as we move forward from this milestone we continue the work of tikkun olam - repairing the world - lifting each other up and leaving an even better place to our posterity.  All the best, Mike Morra mfmorra@gmail.com

From Michael Presant - While regretting not being with you, I'd like to send greetings to all of my old friends and classmates, as well as a sincere thanks to the planning committee for making this weekend possible.  Though not having lived in CT since graduation, my heart and sense of home remains.  Have a wonderful reunion and enjoy!  Best wishes, Mike  616-915-2757  mike.presant@gmail.com

From Jeremy Mellitz - Dear Everyone, I will be unable to attend, but have been tapping in to the reunion website from time to time and am grateful to the Reunion Planning Committee for the time and effort that has gone into making that so enjoyable and informative.  Regardless of my inability to attend, I am also grateful for everything that is likewise going into the event itself.  We have each traveled a long road for a long time to get to this point. We have earned this moment together.  The memories are sometimes sharp and sometimes hazy.  They make this an unexpected moment of self-reflection, and in that sense it is more than an event.  We shared a formative time and place. It is good to find each other to see how we have lived our lives and who we have turned out to be.  Have a wonderful weekend.  Warmly, Jeremy Mellitz Cell: 203 313-1938 Email - Jeremy@Mellitzlaw.com

From Earl Laks - I am living in Edinburgh UK.  We love living in Europe and plan to spend the rest of our days here.  I just found out about the 50th reunion.  Already have travel plans so I can't make it but sending my regards from Europe to the class of '73.  I hope to make the 55th, will plan ahead.  Anyone wants to make contact - wardereunion@e-laks.com  Enjoy!  Earl

From Scott Tepper - Hi Everyone.  I'm looking forward to seeing you!  Anyone else coming in from out of town?  Where are you staying?  I'm taking the train down and would love to carpool with someone to and/or from the event.  You can reach me at stepper612@hotmail.com.  Thanks! Scott

From Marianne Siket - Hello to all!  Sorry to say I might not make the reunion.  50 years, where did the time go.  Hope you all have a great time at the reunion.  I sold my home in Newtown last December after the death of my sister Kathy.  I'm now a retired RN and living in Orange, Ct.  If anyone is interested in reconnecting I would love to hear from you. Call or text 203-522-6533 email Kciracira@gmail.com  Marianne

From Carol (Fasulo) Brunner -  Hello my fellow classmates.  Can it really be 50 years?  I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend but I am grateful for the invitation and link to our class reunion website.  I'm looking forward to seeing the photos from the event.  I live in Connecticut and for the past 35 plus years I have worked in Credit Management with the NY division of Coca-Cola, Pepperidge Farms and most recently a Shelton company Vishay.  I am now retired.  I lost my dear husband Don in 2011 so I am a widow but God is good.  I would love to hear from you if you would like to reconnect.  My email - cbrun51086@yahoo.com or phone - 203 746-4060.  I hope you all have a wonderful time.  Carol
