This is just a fun site and great job you've done. After NFA I did OCCC and
then a year at Buffalo State before settling on a laboratory training. I've
been screening Pap smears and other cancer testing since 1969. Now I live in
Denver, CO, but was in Sacramento, CA for 25 years. I've been married for 30
years and have a daughter 26 and a son 23 who both graduated from Univ. of
Colorado. No spouses for them yet. I was just in New York visiting Vicky
Barauskas Lowrey from our class - she recently moved to Wappingers Falls. We
took a drive through Newburgh - down memory lane! I am sorry I won't be at the
40th reunion this year - I did attend the 20 and that was a lot of fun. Even
though high school was only 4 years , it seem to have an enormous and long
lasting impact. Many fond memories indeed.

a very successful international management consulting firm and have been
fortunate enough (like Kent) to travel the world. We spend a great deal of time
in Hawaii as well. My son and 3 grandchildren live in Pennsylvania and my
daughter lives in Houston. I'm planning to come home for our 45th reunion in

have been fortunate enough to travel the world and have lived in several states
as well as living to Singapore for 3 years on two different occasions. In recent
years I have been traveling to Asia 5 - 6 times a year on business and I have
been lucky to see how people live in other parts of the world and I'm grateful
for how we live in the US. I am married and have four children, 1 daughter and 3
sons. Presently I live in Hawaii and wake up every morning to a beautiful view
of the ocean and watch spectacular sunsets every night. This truly is paradise.
I hope to make the next reunion later this year for my class and renew some of
the many friendships I had during school.
Thanks Bill for this site. I really enjoy looking at the old yearbooks and
seeing how we used to look. My wife is from Asia and every time she looks at
this site can't get over how we used to dress compared to the kids now.
Again, Thanks, Kent

At 12 & Now Would have been in the NFA Class of 1952, had I not moved to Delaware in
1949, right out of NJHS. Through recent contact with several ladies from the
class (who meet monthly in Newburgh), and with Doug Kendall, have renewed
many old Newburgh ties. Wrote a memoir in 2000 on growing up in the Colonial
Terraces which can be found as part of the official Newburgh website, and
was published in January 2001 in the MID-HUDSON TIMES. Have actively
participated in various chat boards based on Newburgh Nostalgia, usually as "Wackoo
#3". Helped to organize a "Colonial Terraces Reunion" in conjunction with
the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1951, but Former Mayor Don Presutti did
most of the hard work. Was delighted to meet up with former classmates
Johnny McDermott and Valerie Treshman in person at the C.T. Reunion, and
subsequently contacted and met with Larry Zutty last year, another classmate
who moved away from NFA before graduating. Have been married for 37 years,
have 3 children and expect the first grandchild in December 2004. Presently
living in Stamford, CT, but since leaving Newburgh, I have lived in
Wilmington and Newark, DE, Port Arthur, TX, NY City in four locations, Union

This is just a fun site and great job you've done. After NFA I did OCCC and

Denver, CO, but was in Sacramento, CA for 25 years. I've been married for 30
years and have a daughter 26 and a son 23 who both graduated from Univ. of
Colorado. No spouses for them yet. I was just in New York visiting Vicky
Barauskas Lowrey from our class - she recently moved to Wappingers Falls. We
took a drive through Newburgh - down memory lane! I am sorry I won't be at the
40th reunion this year - I did attend the 20 and that was a lot of fun. Even
though high school was only 4 years , it seem to have an enormous and long
lasting impact. Many fond memories indeed.

Another nice site for NFA grads. I'm one of those young timers class of 1948. I
have started a forum for '48' grads at http://forums.delphiforums.com/NFA48/start
It's complimentary to this site and we NFA grads need all the exposure we can
get. So what '48'ers are out there? Retired IBEW and living the good life. Hope
to move to Dallas soon to be with my old flame who I took to my senior prom, Ida
Alford. Life is indeed wonderful.

thought I'd try again.... I have been living in Melbourne, Florida for 22 years

grandchildren and I am so lucky to have them all close by. We just love Florida

I just told Bill how much I appreciated all the hard work he has put into this
effort to keep us informed about what has happened with and to everyone over the
years. I left Newburgh in 1965 and lived in the Mid-West for several years
before I ended up just north of Houston, Texas. My husband (Michael) and I have
a very successful international management consulting firm and have been
fortunate enough (like Kent) to travel the world. We spend a great deal of time
in Hawaii as well. My son and 3 grandchildren live in Pennsylvania and my
daughter lives in Houston. I'm planning to come home for our 45th reunion in
September 2005 - hope to see some of you there! 
Hi, Just wanted to say hello to all my classmates. Since graduation I
have been fortunate enough to travel the world and have lived in several states
as well as living to Singapore for 3 years on two different occasions. In recent
years I have been traveling to Asia 5 - 6 times a year on business and I have
been lucky to see how people live in other parts of the world and I'm grateful
for how we live in the US. I am married and have four children, 1 daughter and 3
sons. Presently I live in Hawaii and wake up every morning to a beautiful view
of the ocean and watch spectacular sunsets every night. This truly is paradise.
I hope to make the next reunion later this year for my class and renew some of
the many friendships I had during school.
Thanks Bill for this site. I really enjoy looking at the old yearbooks and
seeing how we used to look. My wife is from Asia and every time she looks at
this site can't get over how we used to dress compared to the kids now.
Again, Thanks, Kent 
After graduation attend Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY

Joined the Navy after high school, then on to college where I studied
electronics and computer science engineering. Worked in aerospace - all sorts of
projects at different levels - and retired in 2002. I am happily married to a
woman from a tiny town in West Texas and live in Littleton, Colorado. I have
been able to travel quite a bit. I will always have a wanderlust; wondering
what it is like in some far off place and finding my way there. I have at times
volunteered at a Catholic homeless shelter, Catholic Aid Center and as a Denver
Zoo Docent. Currently fairly involved with my church and in a political
campaign. In a week, when it ends, will look for the next horizon. Hello, to all
friends of years ago. Things like high school seem to make time stand still, it
is as if it always will. It is nice to remember all of you. We did go to a great
high school didn't we?
Graduated in 65&64 respectively. We are living in Jacksonville AR. After
graduating I enlisted in the USAF, spent 22+yr's on active duty retired in 88.

stayed in Newburgh, married had 2 kids, moved to AR in 86. Still working but not
for much longer, will be ready to completely retire in the next year or so. 
Would have been in the NFA Class of 1952, had I not moved to Delaware in
1949, right out of NJHS. Through recent contact with several ladies from the
class (who meet monthly in Newburgh), and with Doug Kendall, have renewed
many old Newburgh ties. Wrote a memoir in 2000 on growing up in the Colonial
Terraces which can be found as part of the official Newburgh website, and
was published in January 2001 in the MID-HUDSON TIMES. Have actively
participated in various chat boards based on Newburgh Nostalgia, usually as "Wackoo
#3". Helped to organize a "Colonial Terraces Reunion" in conjunction with
the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1951, but Former Mayor Don Presutti did
most of the hard work. Was delighted to meet up with former classmates
Johnny McDermott and Valerie Treshman in person at the C.T. Reunion, and
subsequently contacted and met with Larry Zutty last year, another classmate
who moved away from NFA before graduating. Have been married for 37 years,
have 3 children and expect the first grandchild in December 2004. Presently
living in Stamford, CT, but since leaving Newburgh, I have lived in
Wilmington and Newark, DE, Port Arthur, TX, NY City in four locations, Union
County, NJ in 3 locations, in Dobbs Ferry, NY and in Greenwich, CT. 
Graduated OCCC '69, New York Univ. '71; did a year of graduate work at
