More Pictures of our 1990 Class Reunion

Greetings from Russells

Class Reunion 1990

1990 Class reunion at the Surf & Turf..Russells Steak house in Endicott, New York.

Family gathering as my classmates reunited.

My horns were very visible during this particular day.

Just wanted to share a moment in time with you guys.

Wife Debra Lynn of 28 years, Son Michael Edward of 25 years (US Air Force), grandson Jayden Michael of 1 year and my dear Ashley Michelle of 21 years.

38 years and counting...

We traveled home for the afternoon to enjoy the warm and gracious hospitality that Rob and Mary Beth Salamida extended to us all. A day which was forecasted to be cloudy and rainy proved to be just the opposite, and provided us sunshine, beautiful skies, and cool breezes at Rob's mountaintop retreat.

We laughed much, and remembered all of you who were not present, as we looked through the yearbook, recounted stories of years gone-by, considered grade school rivalries, who had the best high school parties, and took a few moments to raise our glasses to honor the memory of our deceased classmates.

We'll be planning another reunion. Stay tuned. Be well.

Reunion Picnic: Saturday July 5th, 2008

The picnic is on, and will be held at Rob’s mountaintop retreat, next Saturday, July 5^th.

We will begin gathering at 3 pm for festivities. Rob graciously has offered to provide food for sustenance, but suggests that all are welcome to bring beverages, if you so wish, or some other foodstuffs that you may wish to share with classmates.

His place is located at 700 Glenwood Avenue, Binghamton:

On Glenwood Avenue, you will pass the BOCES center, then look for a chain link fence (on right), and follow road to gate opening.

The plan is to picnic in the afternoon into the evening, and Rob promises to build a great bonfire for the evening.
