One of our classmates thought of a use for our PHS 1959 blog, after the reunion, and before the next. Yes, keep in mind that in a few short years we will have graduated from Pennsbury High School - 55 years ago, and we would want to get together once again. So start putting away a little savings each month, so we can have one "big affair" in in 2014. Mark your calendar now, and start saving, and coming up with suggestions.

To all classmates I work in my trucking business everyday and doing very well, even with the economy the way it is. I don't want to retire because I might fizzle away and it keeps me young plus I would get bored because I have worked hard my whole life and like it. What are you guys doing? Let everyone know on the blog so everyone can keep in touch with each and everyong. Jim Franks from the state of Delaware.
I want to thank your wonderful committee for making our 50th the absolutely “perfect” reunion that it was. Your tireless efforts left us all with happy memories of an evening we won’t soon forget!!! Love and appreciation to all, Jan Kardell

Hi Beth, I just returned to Plano, TX this afternoon after having a
wonderful time at the 50th. I was not able to attend the Sunday brunch
because of needing to spend time with my sister, nephews and other
relatives. The reunion was such a magnificent event, thanks to you and
all the others who put ittogether. It was such a treat to have such
a great entertainer, Joe Piscopo. He was terrific. The food also was
outstanding. I am so glad that I was able to participate as part of
the group, seeing so many friends that I hadn't seen in at least 20
years. I can't wait for the next reunion. Whoever is in charge of the
next one better not forget me! Anyhow, thank you so much for all your
hard work; I sincerely appreciate it. Your classmate, Bob Glick
Beth,
That was certainly one fantastic program y'all put together Saturday night!!! I particularly appreciated the good words President Butch had to say. They were right on about the efforts you and the others have put forth in finding us and then keeping in touch. Also, I was taken back by the kind words the Nepolitanos had to say. I know we all took a liking to them as teachers and, obviously, we touched them also, for them to come as our guests. Their words were warm and from the heart and were inspiring for us to hear. They apparently liked us, in spite of what we did to them. God Bless them both.
Joe Pisopo was great! What a pleasant surprise and a coup to pick him up. His humor was good, timely and relevant. You don't have to have a million swear words to be funny and more often than not, they're not appreciated. Having been born in Joisey, I appreciated where he was coming from.
The dinner was excellent. Although I wasn't there to eat, the chicken with the portobello mushrooms and stuffing was really very good. Most of all was the company. I've never had such a good time with a lot of old folks in my life. Let's do again sometime. Tom Brockelbank
Beth, I just got home and wanted to Thank you and all of the committee for the wonderful job of planning and putting on the reunion dinner and breakfast. It was truly a memorable occasion. Love to all,
Ruth
Carol and I arrived home safely in time to watch the Steelers kicking butt. Go, Steelers! When we left the Yardley breakfast, which was a terrific gathering and will remain in my heart and mind for a long, long time, we went to see the Bucks County Memorial to the 9/11 victims which was recommended to us by “Rep” Spilitore. Thank You, Dave. It was well worth the side trip. I didn’t think it likely but, Beth, I think you and the committee outdid the 45th, at which I entirely enjoyed myself. Merle, you did one heckuva job MC’n. The entire experience was a blast. Thank you one and all for being there and, I apologize to anyone I missed greeting. We are an awesome group! I heard talk of combining the ’58 and ’60 classes along with ours for the next gathering. I think that would be terrific and I would love it but, the additional work involved would make it very challenging. Beth, let me know what I can do to help. Good ol’ feelings never die, bad ol’ feelings fall by the wayside and are soon forgotten. Love to you all! Kurt and Carol. Monkeydunk1@verizon.net
I just wanted to tell you that Jean and I had a wonderful time at the reunion and really apprecciate your untiring effort in making it happen.
Best regards,
Ed & Jean Siskin
