grandchildren. I have three children. Two girls one boy. Ages 41,36,and 33.
Four grandchildren, two boys, and two girls. Ages 19,14,13 and 9. I certainly

My walk down memory lane was fun, and even though some of those days were
hard times, most of them were GOOD. Love to all, Paula

Email Paul R. Hedenus 1964 I attended NFA during my
sophomore and junior year and moved to Willow
Grove, Pa. the summer of 1963. I would have been in the 1964 graduation
class of 1964. Since then I've attended Penn State University (one year),
Drexel University & a local Community College. Never did get a degree. I
Joined the Air Force Reserves right after Penn State. I worked for the
Philadelphia Electric Company for almost 34 years. I retired at 55 years
old. I told them on 9/11 I was leaving, and left on 11/01 that year. I've
been married and divorced twice, and have two daughters and two
grandchildren with another due in July. I've been single since 1984. I still
live in Willow Grove, Pa. and usually have my grand kids spend the weekend
with me so they can play with their friends. My daughter had lived with me
since she was 16 and stayed after she got married, so the kids consider this
their second house now. Looking thought the yearbook brought back many
pleasant memories. I noticed that Ellen Pierrehumbert is not listed. I went
out with her for most of my NFA years. I recognized many faces. Candy
Hanscom, Jan Hinsdale, Terry Tatman and Linda Pierrehumbert. My bowling team
Bill Shields & Paul Shickle. Fred Rieber from class of 1963. I was sad to
discover Tom Agnew & Patricia FitzPatrick are no longer with us. I actually
ran into Tom when I was at Penn State. I went out with Pat only once but
remember her as a super person...........I guess I've bored you long enough.

make it to the last reunion(30yrs), but my twin sister made it and told me
she had a great time. We still keep in touch with our best friend Pam
Townsend, with a ski trip every January up in North Conway NH. I tried to

Class of 66. Very nice job. Talk about digging up the past. I left Newburgh
in 1977 and headed South. Have been in Dallas Texas on and off since then.
My wife Karen of 37 years (Karen Tallarico - Class of 67) is here along with
3 kids and 1 grandchild. I retired for AT&T and am currently working on my
second career. NFA brings back some of my most fondest memories and you have
done a great job.

I have

and I pass it on to other NFA grads whenever possible. Thanks for the

After graduation, I attended Bucknell, graduating with a BA in 1970. Then I went
to Brandeis for a masters in anthropology, but left the program and became a
silversmith. I returned to the Susquehana valley to make jewelry and await the
graduation of Louise Ballinger in 1972. We were married on a farm (where the
band Fred lived) in Lewisburg the day she graduated.
Some of you will recall that 1972 was the year of the Watergate break in. When
the country did not seem to be able to connect the dots to CREEP (it still
amazes me that Nixon would have the gall to use this acronym), we left for
Europe with no intention of returning. Ten months of hitch hiking and camping in
Europe and Asia taught us that despite the slow-mindedness of the electorate,
there's no place like home, so we tapped our slippers together and made our way
back to the US.
After some agonizing, I ultimately went to law school,
worked for Leonard Boudin on constitutional law problems, graduated with enough
knowledge to pass the bar and soon after joined my father's law firm in
Newburgh.
In the meantime, Louise got her masters in teaching
and started at a private elementary school in Newburgh.
Sometime in there we had two children: Elizabeth (now 27)
and Jonah (now 24). We bought a house on a dirt road in Cornwall and we haven't
left much since then. We are now enjoying our empty nest while Louise anxiously
waits for grandchildren to materialize.
I stayed with my father's firm until he became too sick to
remain. I then bailed out for a regular job with a friend's law firm where I can
concentrate on being a lawyer, rather than a manager. My work is now limited to
personal injury matters, a nice, relatively concise field compared to the
general litigation practice which nearly consumed me for 25 years. I hope to
remain here until I can retire (although I still haven't grasped the
concept).
If it ever snows again, we will slap on our skinny skis
and head out the back door into the Black Rock Forest. Failing that, we enjoy
mountain biking and hiking the same terrain, a good movie now and then, and
visits to our daughter in Berkeley, CA (our son lives in Cornwall, so we see him
often).
I could go on and on (I am, after all is said and done, a
trial lawyer and not the short-winded kind) but I have to go grind potatoes for
Chanukah.

(formerly the Minuteman) in New Windsor. We had a fantastic turnout. We decided
to locate a venue that would meet our needs. Hartley's definitely did that for
us. We ran a BarBQ with access to inside and outside facilities. The menu was
varied (Brisket, Chicken, Sausage & Peppers, Hamburgers/ Hot Dogs, corn on the
cob, watermelon, and all types of salads). Draught beer, soda and bottled water
were included. The food was excellent. The service was superb. This turned out
to be better suited than a traditional sit down dinner. We all were able to
mingle with everyone there, as opposed to being seated with a few folks and
isolated from the rest of the class. I highly recommend this type of setting as
well as Hartley's, the site that we chose. Jack Cook , Reunion Committee Chair,

children 23 and 20. Our daughter is getting married in two weeks. I still read
the Middletown Record online at least once a week. I think the thing I miss most
about NY is the food and the weather. I really miss 4 seasons. Out here when it
gets to 55 degrees, everyone is freezing. The only time I where a coat is when
it's raining in the winter. I try to get back to Newburgh at least once a year

friends lost touch with..
Date: 2006-06-15 Email Bill Herring 1965 Bill has done an awesome job in developing and maintaining this NFA
yearbook site. His efforts are deeply appreciated by all who care about our NFA
high school class..... I am still in Newburgh. We (Myself and Bill Bell/ NFA
65') sold our company and took early retirement on 01' After seeing so
many of our classmates passing on, we all should take the time necessary to slow
down & smell the roses. We should enjoy & cherish everyday as if it were our
last. Family and health are precious. Don't take either for granted! First signing: Where you are living ? Orange Lake, New York What you did since
graduating: Started business in Newburgh 1970 after leaving IBM. Grew into 5
states over 31 years and sold to TYCO International 2001. Currently retired

Newburgh and still be in the lower 48! Hope whoever reads this remembers what
it was like all those years ago. By the way, I now go by the first name of

say most people do change significantly as we age HOW ABOUT YOU? Jake

daily - can't wait for this Stem Cell Revolution so I can grow my Hair long
again! 
Would love to hear from some fellow alumni.
Great site! Memories and hopes feed us and help keep us going, I remember
1967 like it last week, hats off to all who are persevering through
adversity or lucky enough to enjoy happiness during this time of year. My
path has been interesting after NFA - US Navy until 73 then entered work
force at IBM 74, lived in
Class of '68. Great site, Bill. Good job! This is for all '68 graduates

Just got lost in this sight for a while. Don t know why I was there, but

Buffalo the other 2 years. Met my wife there, have been married since 1980.
2 daughters, Whitney (24) at Yale for grad school, Julia (22) working in
L.A.
Have been self-employed for 23 years. Run a marketing and design firm, lovin
it.
Travel a lot, usually Europe (Italy), read, golf, cigars, some guitar.
Any news on what others are doing.....God, to think back on what dorks we (I) were. Sucks getting old, but it does
have its fine points.
Great website! Since High School, went to college, joined the Air
Force, went back to school and became a chiropractor. Been practicing in the
state of Maine since 1975. I am single at this time and thinking back to old
times. By the way I am trying to find Sharon Gage. Does anyone know where she
is. Dan.
Barbara
Breckenridge, NFA '66. We have three grown children and three grandchildren. I
hope all is well with you and thanks for the memories!
I am living in Saratoga, CA. After I graduated from NFA, I got engineering
degrees from RPI and CMU, then went to work in California as an engineer for
almost 30 years. I just finished an law degree and volunteering twice a week at
a family law clinic. Looking forward to "retirement" as an attorney in a few
years. I am married and have two children.
In 1976 I did graduate; There is a picture of me walking up the front steps
of N.F.A. in the yearbook.
Greetings! Great site - brings back a lot of fond memories and fun times
with the coolest group of friends. Graduated in '71 and off to OCCC and then
southward to Florida State University, with a BS degree in '75.
After stops in a few different states, came back in '85 to Florida - where
gators are in your backyard lake and hurricanes make its way every now and
then.....but it's still the land of sun and fun. Have worked in the crazy
world of retail over the years as a store manager, district manager, and
buyer. Currently, I am Director of Purchasing for a large not-for-profit
organization. I am married to a wonderful lady, have a son who served in the army - and
(wow) even a grandson....and can't forget to mention our spoiled silky
terrier. Beyond work and fun - we also own a few internet businesses.
If anyone remembers me - feel free to get in touch!
Wow, what a trip. My cousin sent me this web page when I was trying to find
out some info in Newburgh. Nothing like this, wow what great memories. I
recall some people but not to many. Actually I think I must have been in
some kind of warp zone back in those days. I'd sure like to do it all over
again. Maybe I would get it right this time. Anyhow, I live in Sebastian Fl.
now. For the last eleven yrs. Spent most of my life in the town of Newburgh
and surrounding areas. Moved here to be closer to my oldest daughter and
grandchildren. I have three children. Two girls one boy. Ages 41,36,and 33.
Four grandchildren, two boys, and two girls. Ages 19,14,13 and 9. I certainly
would love to hear from some classmates.
My walk down memory lane was fun, and even though some of those days were
hard times, most of them were GOOD. Love to all, Paula
My mom (Virginia Williams now Jefferson) sent this site to my siblings and I
so we could see a little bit into her past. How cool it is!!! She probably
won't write anything but I will! She married my dad Joseph 52 years ago and
moved to Peoria Illinois where my dad worked as a machinist for Caterpillar
Inc for 30 years while mom was a home maker and mother of 6 daughters and 1
son. She has two older sisters, Dot and Mary who are both well-Dot living
between NY & IL and Mary living in TN their husbands are both deceased.
They also have 2 brothers Dan and Walt who I didn't see in any of the books
therefore don't believe they graduated. Anyway for anyone who knew them
Walt is living in TN with his wife of 50 years Adia & Dan is living in IL
with his wife Linda. great job on this site! It was nice to see my mom with
her high school class. 
I graduated from NFA in 1987 so that yearbook was not there sorry to say you
stopped a bit short but that is okay. This year 2007 is my 20 year reunion.
Yikes, time flies. I saw my mom, my aunts and my uncles pictures in their
yearbooks which was great. Thanks for taking the time to put them into the
computer. I now live in PA and work in Goshen, NY at a scrapbook store which is
great-- love it. Jenn Bodnar
I attended NFA during my
sophomore and junior year and moved to Willow
Grove, Pa. the summer of 1963. I would have been in the 1964 graduation
class of 1964. Since then I've attended Penn State University (one year),
Drexel University & a local Community College. Never did get a degree. I
Joined the Air Force Reserves right after Penn State. I worked for the
Philadelphia Electric Company for almost 34 years. I retired at 55 years
old. I told them on 9/11 I was leaving, and left on 11/01 that year. I've
been married and divorced twice, and have two daughters and two
grandchildren with another due in July. I've been single since 1984. I still
live in Willow Grove, Pa. and usually have my grand kids spend the weekend
with me so they can play with their friends. My daughter had lived with me
since she was 16 and stayed after she got married, so the kids consider this
their second house now. Looking thought the yearbook brought back many
pleasant memories. I noticed that Ellen Pierrehumbert is not listed. I went
out with her for most of my NFA years. I recognized many faces. Candy
Hanscom, Jan Hinsdale, Terry Tatman and Linda Pierrehumbert. My bowling team
Bill Shields & Paul Shickle. Fred Rieber from class of 1963. I was sad to
discover Tom Agnew & Patricia FitzPatrick are no longer with us. I actually
ran into Tom when I was at Penn State. I went out with Pat only once but
remember her as a super person...........I guess I've bored you long enough.
I
lived in Marlboro NY for most of my adult life, raised two boys there.
Retired from IBM in 1993, sold home in Marlboro, and lived / traveled with
my wife ( Lorraine Woinoski - Kingston NY ) in a Motor Home for six years.
We got a good look at our wonderful country ! We built a home in 2003 near
Ithaca NY, 1/2 hour south of Ithaca, but could not get the sun to shine
there so we sold it and moved to Florida. We now live in the Cypress Head
golf community in Port Orange Florida. We have two sons and four
Grandchildren .. two of which we "share" with Ed Weeks 62' and his wife
Pam. Our son Alan married Ed's daughter Cheryl. Congratulations on this web
site.. brings back lots of memories!
What a GREAT site. And how cool was it to find my mother's HS grad pic from
1950. Have been living in San Jose CA area for 30yrs. Married almost that
long with 2 beautiful daughters (23, 25).
Hello all. I was looking into the site and low and behold, I found my
classmates. I lost my year book years ago. So this is wonderful. I wanted to
find out when our class reunion was going to be and it will be a special one
for me as its on my birthday. I am living in Milton,NY for over 15 yrs after
my divorce. I have 3 beautiful daughters and two wonderful granddaughters. I
hope to hear from some of my classmates via e-mail. As for any updated
pictures of myself. I am still the same looking person but gravity took
over. LOL

Hi everyone, I guess I am one of the very few from 70 that is still "hanging
out" in good old Newburgh. In the past 30 or so years I haven't seen to
many familiar faces, of course I never made it to any of the re-unions, so
you may still be out there. I am glad I found this site, maybe I can
re-connect with some old friends or make some new ones.
BILL,
THIS IS GREAT. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED. WE SHOULD HAVE NOMINATED YOU "MOST LIKELY
TO KEEP EVERYONE IN TOUCH". 
Spent hours reviewing and renewing memories of NFA-65....Bill- wonderful
job...I reach out to anyone interested in reconnecting...peace
Myron------------------
This
site in GREAT! Just found it today and can't believe it. Spent the last hour
checking it all out. I think its' wonderful. Have already found 8 friends
from school. All the people we wonder about and could not find till the age
of computers. 
Hi Everyone, been a long time since I thought about NFA.. but my time spent
there was great, just wish my mother had not decided to move 5 months before
graduation, I really want to stay and graduate with the class of '71. Done
a lot of stuff since leaving NFA, married 3 times, divorced twice and widowed
once, have 3 wonderful children, 1 son, 2 daughters, my son and oldest
daughter are former Marines. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren, 2 girls and 1
boy. Moved to sunny Florida in 1991.. traded a snow shovel in winter for
sandbags during hurricane season.

married to Bob Youngberg (my childhood sweetheart) & we live in Panama City,
FL. I have 3 step children & we have 10 grandchildren. I am a Service
Coordinator at SallieMae and my husband is retired due to medical issues. I

Can't convince them to move to the beautiful Emerald Coast! I would love to
hear from former classmates as I think of many of you often.
Hi, I'm one of the Rottmeier Twins from the Class of 1975. My sister
introduced me to this website and it has really been fun cruising around on
it! After NFA, I graduated Pace University to become a CPA. I have worked
for many years in public and private accounting, to finally open up my own
practice in Danbury, CT about 15 years ago. I am married to a wonderful
husband named Andy for almost 20 years and have a 16 year old daughter who
reminds me of one of those Rottmeier Twins.
Hi Bill, From one of the Rottmeier twins-Class of 75 My Dad, who lives in
Ponce Inlet Fla, told me about your website. This is great. Since
graduating NFA, I went to Pace University and worked in Boston in Public
Accounting for KPMG. I have since moved to Nantucket MA in 2000, and there
I've worked for Nantucket Bank for 5yrs, and now work as Controller for a
Lumber & Houseware company (the Home Depot of Nantucket). I'm involved with
the community as the Treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce and do accounting
for the Hospice foundation on Nantucket. I also have a 28 year old son who
is attending college at Akron University in Ohio. I'm sorry that I couldn't
make it to the last reunion(30yrs), but my twin sister made it and told me
she had a great time. We still keep in touch with our best friend Pam
Townsend, with a ski trip every January up in North Conway NH. I tried to
attach a picture of my sister Joanie, me and Pam from our last trip but
couldn't seem to get it to attach. I'll send one if you can give me an
email address.
Thanks Patty
Dear Bill, My son led me to this website. You have compiled so many good
pictures and memories. I now live in Boynton Beach, Fl. Keep up the great

What a great site! Wish I knew about it sooner. I married Diana Horaz ('62)
in 1970. We have a daughter who married in October 2005 and a son who
married in July 2006. Just waiting on Grandkids now. LOL. I retired from IBM
in '92. I am now working p/t at Shoprite to offset the cost of my "FREE for
LIFE Medical Premiums" from IBM. I can't complain ,,, things could be a lot
worse. I feel so bad for all the classmates who have passed on. Way too
many, much too young. I can't believe how many have passed on from the class
of '61. They are definitely in my prayers.
Hi... I have been living in New Windsor now for about 6 years. I spent the last 22
in the Army. 10 of those over seas to include Iraq. I loved it but some how
ended up here . That is ok. I am married and have 3 kids two daughters 33, 27,
and my boy 13. He freaks me out because he now goes where I once roamed and he
loves it. I used to be a heights man and in our time everyone knew the heights.
My wife is the best and i am so happy. I still see friends I haven't seen in
years and it freaks me out but that is cool I loved being freaked out as a kid
and I still do . My wife says I will never grow up.

AND HAVE 2 CHILDREN. MY SON JASON IS A 2005 GRADUATE OF THE UNIV. OF WISCONSIN
AND IS CURRENTLY IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. MY DAUGHTER JESS IS A JUNIOR
IN COLLEGE. GREAT SIGHT THAT HAS BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES. GREAT TO SEE ENZO

Hi, I graduated in 1967 and still live in New Windsor. I have a son
Jason who is 30 who just got married and lives in Chester, NY with his wife Kim.
My other son Eliott is married and living in Oregon with his wife Maraya. Both
of my sons are making me a Grandpa for the first time. I now also has two
stepchildren, Ashley 16 and Matthew 14. Eileen and I just celebrated our 5th
anniversary on October 6th. I took over the family business in 1968 and have
been running it ever since. I also am a published author writing about Las Vegas
for several publications. I am thinking about moving to Las Vegas in the near
future. I have the largest Las Vegas newsletter in the world with over 1 million
readers worldwide. The website is located at:
I love this site I graduated in 1977 and my yearbook is there, that
is so cool.
Today the Class of '61 held it 45th class reunion at Rich Hartley's
(formerly the Minuteman) in New Windsor. We had a fantastic turnout. We decided
to locate a venue that would meet our needs. Hartley's definitely did that for
us. We ran a BarBQ with access to inside and outside facilities. The menu was
varied (Brisket, Chicken, Sausage & Peppers, Hamburgers/ Hot Dogs, corn on the
cob, watermelon, and all types of salads). Draught beer, soda and bottled water
were included. The food was excellent. The service was superb. This turned out
to be better suited than a traditional sit down dinner. We all were able to
mingle with everyone there, as opposed to being seated with a few folks and
isolated from the rest of the class. I highly recommend this type of setting as
well as Hartley's, the site that we chose. Jack Cook , Reunion Committee Chair,
Class of '61
I'm very impressed with this site. It's so
much fun to look at all the
yearbooks. I'm a graduate of 1974, so I'm very glad to see our yearbook finally
up. I live out here on the "left coast" up in Northern California, in Fairfield.
Our claim to fame is, this is where they make Jelly Belly's. I've been out here
for 26 years and still miss NY. I met my husband when he was attending West
Point. He left in his Junior year and finished college out here. We have two
children 23 and 20. Our daughter is getting married in two weeks. I still read
the Middletown Record online at least once a week. I think the thing I miss most
about NY is the food and the weather. I really miss 4 seasons. Out here when it
gets to 55 degrees, everyone is freezing. The only time I where a coat is when
it's raining in the winter. I try to get back to Newburgh at least once a year
for my family reunion in Highland Falls. I keep in touch with Donna Paulus and
Gail Craig. I would love to hear from some of you. If any one has heard from
Mary DuFour, class of 1976, I'd love to hear from her.
I would have graduated NFA 1970, but moved back to the Bronx
and graduated Christopher Columbus HS. I am married to an NFA class of 1969
graduate, Dave. We visit the Burg at least once a year because Dave's family
still lives in Newburgh and we still have many friends in the area. We are
still in touch with many 1969 - 1970 grads. We have been living in California
(near Sacramento) for the past 18 years. Prior to that we lived in Valley
Cottage NY for 13 years. Two sons, both married, ages 31 and 26 and one
beautiful grandson Andrew (Drew) David. Have also recently connected with Tom
(Sniff) Ciferelli. Bill, you have done a wonderful job on this site. After
stumbling upon it, I let a number of other people know about it. I guess some
people are "guestbook shy." It is just so much fun to visit the site and go
down memory lane.
Graduated 74 moved to Virginia in 75 married have 3 kids 25-23-21
have one grandson and one on the way. I sell real-estate part time, work in
grocery store full time. Work out at gym 4-5 days a week. Most of my family is
still up in New York. I visit sometimes.
This is a great site. Soon I would like to send you some memorial
information for the class of 1975. Our 30th reunion was this past October.
Heads up all you 1974 graduates! I just mailed my '74 yearbook to
Bill. Look for it in a few weeks. ( Can't believe that I am the only one out of
999 who graduated that day that actually has a yearbook.............)
Graduated in 61 - have lived in Plattekill, NY for 43 years, married
with 4 sons and 5 grandchildren. Am presently retired from the Wallkill School
District and am just enjoying life. 
Graduated 1969 NFA, Graduated OCCC 1974, Graduated UB 1976 Married
7/7/79 , 3 daughters, 24, 19 and 17....2 granddaughters 2 yrs and 1 week. 4 cats

Hi Bill, Great job with this web site. I graduated in the class of
1968.Since leaving school I have worked as a mechanic, had my legs crushed
between two cars which lead to 2 years of rehab. I could not serve in the Armed
forces due to this accident. I then went to work on the NYS Thruway working on
the overpass bridges. Since 1969 I have been working at IBM in East Fishkill.
And yes I am still there. I live in Montgomery and have been married 35 years.
My wife's name is Linda. We have no children. We enjoy traveling and we do that
a lot. I have attended most of the reunions and have seen many people I have not
seen in years. I still hang out with my best friend from high school, Bob Bell.
Again, great job on this web site. Scotty
Hi Bill, What a wonderful job you've done!!! You should be commended
for all the work you've put into this very professional web site. I graduated
in '66 and have lived here ever since. I just recently retired from Central
Hudson Gas & Elec. after 35 years. I have been married for 32 years to my
husband Joe and have one daughter Melissa age 28. Since we've not been able to
travel as we would have liked, we are now thinking of moving down South to be
closer to some friends and family - but that's still in the discussion stage. I
am still close to many of my old classmates and can't imagine leaving some of my
very dearest friends (maybe we'll talk them into coming with us)..........I will
continue to log in and read all the new entries.
I PROBABLY SPENT THE $ THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT MY YEAR BOOK WITH ON
WHISKEY - OR MAYBE I WAS JUST THINKING I WAS TOO COOL TO BOTHER BUYING ONE ---
BUT THAT WAS 1974 AND I GUESS I WASN'T ALONE BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE
OFFERED ONE TO POST ON THIS SIGHT ---WORKED AS A CARPENTER FOR JUST OVER 20
YEARS - CAPTAIN IN NY HARBOR FOR 4 YEARS - NOW A COMMERCIAL BROKER WITH JOHN J.
LEASE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS - AT EXT. 135 COME ON IN AND BUY SOMETHING - IM
LOOKING TO BUY A NEWER BOAT --- THIS SIGHT IS A BLAST - THANKS BILL
Hi All, Class of 1983 signing in, I am married with 3 children.
Retired from the Navy after 20 years and currently living in Okemos MI. My
Family still lives in Newburgh and I come back to the burgh every year, maybe
I'll make it back for the next reunion.
Married Bob Lanford (class of 64) moved to North Carolina in 1980.

CLASS OF 64. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME BILLY, MOVED TO NORTH CAROLINA
IN 1980. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Fantastic website! Lost my yearbook -graduated in 1974 and was hoping
to look up here, seem to have most yrs except 1974?
Thanks so much for this website. I lost my Yearbook when I moved from
Wallkill, NY to Pennsylvania 30 years ago. It is great to 'catch up' with these
pages. I have 3 children. 1 daughter living in Pine Bush and 1 daughter and 1
son living in PA. I am retired and loving every minute of it. I do get to Pine
Bush a couple of times a year and do see a couple of my classmates but can't
wait until our next reunion to see everyone. Thanks again.
Bev (Rhyne) Jones Class of '57
Going down memory lane is such fun! Thank you so much for this
wonderful website! I was so saddened though by the many classmates who have
already passed. I've been married to Ron Cunningham/ Chuckles (class of '68) and
living in NH since 1979. We have two great sons Derek, 30 and Cory, 28. Life
has been good to us but we're still not grandparents!!! I'm an optical sales rep
for a major frame manufacturer which keep me on my toes covering parts of New
England. 
This is a great site, just found it a few days ago, what a huge amt of
work! I work at IBM in Fishkill with a handful of other 76'ers who I shared the
site with. We were having a ball looking at all the old pics. Keep up the good
work!
Pete
Bill has done an awesome job in developing and maintaining this NFA
yearbook site. His efforts are deeply appreciated by all who care about our NFA
high school class..... I am still in Newburgh. We (Myself and Bill Bell/ NFA
65') sold our company and took early retirement on 01' After seeing so
many of our classmates passing on, we all should take the time necessary to slow
down & smell the roses. We should enjoy & cherish everyday as if it were our
last. Family and health are precious. Don't take either for granted!
HI EVERYONE, I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN FT LAUDERDALE, FL. FOR THE PAST
30 YEARS. I WAS BACK IN NEWBURGH THE END OF MAY FOR MY NIECES WEDDING. HAD LUNCH
AT 26 FRONT ST. ON SUNDAY MORNING AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE
DOWN ON THE WATERFRONT. ALL THE BOATS AND MT. BEACON IN THE BACKGROUND. BROUGHT
BACK A LOT OF OLD MEMORIES. BILL, THE SIGHT IS GREAT , KEEP UP THE GREAT
WORK.
Hello, It was a long time ago in another galaxy, but I digress. I am
out in beautiful Washington state, Olympia, WA as far away as one can be from
Newburgh and still be in the lower 48! Hope whoever reads this remembers what
it was like all those years ago. By the way, I now go by the first name of
Jake. Not only did I change geographical location but my moniker as well. Some
say most people do change significantly as we age HOW ABOUT YOU? Jake
Great site. Thanks. I'm wondering if any members of the Class of '66
are interested in a 40th year reunion. If so, drop me a line.
What a great site. I graduated in 1966 and as I approach that 40th
year I keep thinking and wondering about what has happened to some of the others
over the years. I live in Ft. Lauderdale Fl and have been here for over 30yrs.
I graduated in 1988. I am working on getting everyone's contact info
for the 20th reunion. I have a class of '88 myspace.
Hi everybody. Just found out about this web site from Don Duff in N.C. He told
me to tell Billy Norvell that he's a shithead. I'm still in Newburgh. Mother of
3, grandmother of 2. I have just started to check out this web site so I better
run. It's been great so far...Bye all
