What fond memories of those days when I looked at the photos posted by Ed. They were great. Spent a great deal of time in the chapel! I found myself wondering why the lines "when our high school days are over" felt so familiar. Then it came back ...all of it ...the alma mater. Nearly 40 years since we sang that song and it remains true...Seton High, we honor you.

Had a thought. I know a surprise to most! But any way...many of us never had a chance to sport our school colors. Those in sports had their letter sweaters of course...but those of us not so coordinated really didn't. Is there any interest in the class of 70 resurrecting King Royal and having royal blue and white rise from the past in retro sweatshirts? I am sure there must be a photo around of the beloved royal basketball that could be converted to stitchery.

Just a thought.

Father Van - Memorial Chapel

I went to Seton this afternoon and was able to do a walk about at the school. I was very pleasently surprised to see this plaque outside the chapel.

The sunlight just seemed to be reflecting in all the right places today.

I took my place in a pew and said a prayer for all of us. God Bless Father VanAmburgh and God bless our class.

"When our High School days are over...."

"When our high school days are over, we will very often sing...of the many happy hours Seton High to us did bring. Seton High school we will be.... always loyal and true to thee and no matter what we do Seton High will honor you."

Greetings from TULLY'S

Remember the "Vestal Plaza" with Britts, Phil's Chicken house, Endicott Johnson shoe store, the Gin Mill and of course the Roaring Fork restaurant? Well it is all gone and has given way to a "University Plaza" for college students. Actually a well thought out transition.

Some of us met there on October 13, 2007 to catch up. "It is what it is." Good to see folks for sure and a nice informal setting to chat without the numerous destractions of 45 little groups of so many new faces for sure.

Opening session of their Senate

Thought you might enjoy this interesting prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know You r Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!' The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church , where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea . Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'one nation under God.'

These are the days, my friends...

Greetings to all!

Since Rob Salamida and Ed Carmine hunkered down in the late fall of 2005 to invite local classmates to gather for a few drinks, we've been making a concerted effort to reconnect with all of our classmates. As much progress as we have had, there is still much work to be done. Hopefully, this blog can be an aid for finding our "lost" classmates.

And it can be our opportunity to keep in touch, offer opinions on all sorts of topics, share the ups and downs of life's journey, and give us a connected space to plug into the spirit and camaraderie we experienced at Seton. Let's get busy...

Feel free to "post" comments and pictures. Visit frequently. If you want items added to the blog, or you have any questions or difficulties using the blog, let me know.
