Joanne: CARL CATALANO and CLAUDIA HOUSTON, the world ' s greatest comedy team, made their debut on the show. Other guests have been MICHAEL ALEKEL, head chef at the White House; BARBARA ADDISON and LINDA KACHADORIAN, whose ladies ' fashions are the most expensive in the world; MARCIA PER- RAULT, the only mathematician ever to disprove the theories of Newton, and BILL KAUPINIS and ARTHUR KENNEY, who de- signed our latest space capsule. Their capsules are so small that TOM TRUSSELL was turned down for the astronaut training pro- gram because he was too tall. Dorean: LINDA EATON, CAROLE MLECHKO, and ELAINE Le- BLOND appear daily on TV. They present a vigorous exercising program every morning that guarantees to keep the housewife slim and trim. The latest dating game show called Matchmaker had CHRIS DOBRZYNSKI as hostess. Some of her guests have been DIANE DOMORADZKI, DONALD CARTER, JEAN COTE, NOR- MAN MALENFANT, CAROL LIMANNI, and JUDY JAWORSKI who are now all happily married, but not to each other. Joanne: In the literary field ELLEN KENNEY and MIKE BARDS- LEY are two of the most controversial authors since Grace Meta- Iious. Dorean: JOE GROSSMAN also writes. His comic strip is even more popular than Peanuts. LINDA AUBERT and DONNA DiNATALE have co-authored a book about winter in Siberia entitled HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR COOL. Joanne: Have you noticed how much Methuen has changed since our high school days? So many beautiful buildings have sprung up over the past 20 years. Barclay ' s Hotel , owned by ALAN BARCLAY, has really become one of the landmarks of our state JAMES BROWN, DAVE WILK, and CHARLES BRUCE reall; deserve much credit for the great job they did in helping to con struct it. Plumbers PAUL BARRETT and JOHN FEOLI and elec- trical engineers JOHN BUDENAS and WILLIAM LEMIEUX ren dered invaluable services. Dorean: I ' ve heard that EDGAR MALO is head chef, BOB BURNS the salad man, JOHN CARRIER the pastry cook, and WILLIAM WALSH the cashier. The waitresses, SANDRA JUTRAS, KATHY IANNALFO, ANNA NARCELLO, and MADELINE MAYNARD are underpaid and are reliant on their tips. The entertainment pro- vided at the hotel is fantastic. JUDY MOSHIAN and BOB HOEHN frequently appear, singing their own hit songs. The guests at the hotel really enjoy the go-go dancers including CHARLOTTE SPINELLO, COLLEEN DOBECK, MARION GROVES, LOUELLA SAAB and BRENDA BONANNO. Joanne: Sometimes guests at the hotel can view fashion shows fea- turing JANICE BEAULIEU, CAROLYN SMITH, JOYCE KIT- SON, DONNA FORCIER, DONNA HUGHES, and JANE WOR- STER as top models. Did you know that on the first floor of the hotel is a bookstore owned by DIANE RUMORE? Among her regular customers are JOAN ALLAIN, RENA AUDY, DIANE BELLANDI, RITA THOMAS and DONNA McDONALD. Dorean: On my way to this reunion, I passed JOE ARONE ' s coffee house on Thompson Square. I ' ve heard that the square was named after PETER THOMPSON for his acts of heroism in the Vietnam War. Recently I saw JOHN KLUCK ' s new barber shop located directly across the street. He employs RUSSELL PARE, DOTTIE BEELEY, SALLY GIAQUINTO, YVETTE DEMERS, and THE- RESA MESITI. His shop always seems to be crowded. Maybe it ' s because boys ' knee length hair styles are no longer the fad. Joanne: You must have seen the new art studio managed by PAT and PAULINE BIBEAU. The portraits in the window reveal the unique artistry of HARRIET KIRIAJES, MAUREEN SLATTERY, RONALD SIMONIAN, JANICE FUGGEE, LAWRENCE BEAU- LIEU, and MARY LEE MOYNIHAN, and are really something to see. On display in the studio are the masterpieces of PEG PATE- NAUDE, JOANNE MARTONE, and VIOLA PICA. These will go on sale next spring for $10,000 apiece. Dorean: I imagine many of the wealthiest residents of Methuen will attend the showing, among whom most likely will be EDDIE JOAQUIN, President of the Arlington Trust Company; PHIL HOWSIAN and MARION HURLEY, owners of Bea ' s Sandwich Shop; wealthy JACK LEES; who hardly ever leaves his 40-room mansion; and prominent business woman, BARBARA LANGE- VIN, who now resides in Hawaii. I should include WILLIAM CHADWICK, too, for he ranks high on the wealthy list. Joanne: What is Bill doing now, anyway? Dorean: Well, as a matter of fact, I was speaking with him just yes- terday. You see, I was walking home when a Rolls Royce chauf- feured by TED MATSES pulled up to the curbing and Ted of- fered me a ride home. As I looked up, I recognized seated in the back rich tycoon BILL CHADWICK, the owner of Chadwick ' s Flower Shop. He was most friendly and said that he was on his way to visit JAMES HOEGEN who, although the world ' s heavy weight boxing champion, was quite seriously hurt. As a result, he requires the attentions of bone specialists, Dr. MICHAEL CIAR- DELLO and Dr. CATHY BROWN. Joanne: Oh, yes, I heard that Jim has staged quite a comeback and will be able to contend with WILLIAM K. O. CARON next month. In the near future he ' s scheduled to have bouts with MARK (MUSCLES) LAMBERT and WARREN (WHAMMER) WINS- PER. Dorean: I was interested to learn about the skyscraper that was built in Lawrence recently. Secretaries employed in the office section are CAROLYN MARTIN, MAUREEN PAOLINO, LOUISE GIARUS- SO, FRANCES LARKIN, CHARLOTTE MESSER, and LORRAINE WATKINS. SHARON COCO, BONNIE BREARLY, SHARON MILONE, and ROSA PERRONE operated the IBM machines but they retired a short time ago to be married. Joanne: Other classmates that are happily married are BEVERLY BROWN, ROSEANNE LUICCISANO, MARTHE VENTI, EDEL BUCHHOLZ, KATHY PAGE, and MARIA SQUADRITO. Oh, and I musn ' t forget CYNTHIA CROTEAU, JOANNE FARO, SALLY LoSTIMOLO, DIANE DeSANTIS, KATHY ROBIL- LARD, MARIE PANTO and SUSAN MINGINS. Dorean: Have you heard anything about FRANK NAPOLITANO? Joanne: Yes. He, PAUL LAURETTA, JOHN LEE, and GAIL HOFFMAN are surgeons at Memorial Hospital. I understand that BARRY HEBSCH and JERRY QUINTAL are seen quite often at the hospital after surgeries have been performed. They ' re both un- dertakers, you know. Dorean: Do you remember how many of our classmates trained for nursing? KATHY ABLE, ANN COREY and SHARON ALLEN are at Memorial Hospital; SUZY SCHRUENDER and SUZANNE MIXON at St. Joseph ' s in Lowell; and PAT MORIN at the Dorchester Home for Incurables. Joanne: I ' m so glad that our reunion is being held in RONALD SOCIA ' S Banquet Hall. TOM ROBICHAUD and his group consisting of KEN St. AMAND, PETER CHAPMAN, CHARLES CORSETTO, and CHRISTINE WILSON as lead vocalist will be providing the music soon. Magician KEN CORTEAU has promised to perform his famous nightclub act for the class. Dorean: I suppose a prize will be given to the parent who has the largest family of children. I wonder who the lucky person will be. I heard the ROSEMARY CASALE, JACKIE CIRAS, and VAL- ENCIA NAPOLI each have seven, but that MAL CLARKE, has nine, one set of Sextuplets and one set of triplets. Joanne: While in Methuen you should take a grand tour of the town. It will be interesting to see the established businesses of our class- mates. LEO CROTEAU, I know, owns a supermarket, and two of his clerks are BRENDA COTTONE and LINDA CUBELLI. BARBARA RICCIO is the head bookkeeper. AL DAIGLE has opened a dry cleaning shop, adjacent to TOM DALLON ' S laundro- mat. Tom ' s laundry gets a lot of business from JIM DEVINE ' S diaper service. Located across the street from Devine ' s is Kay ' s Beauty Salon, owned by PAT KAY. Skilled operators are PAULA VIEWIG, MARGARET FEOLI, LORRAINE PELLERIN, SUSAN ROBIDOUX, and LINDA SABOR. Dorean: I heard that BOB FEUGILL has a prosperous service station in the square, and his mechanics are GUS FLANAGAN, STEVE GUELI, and WILLIAM HIRSCH. They ' re kept busy servicing the cars sold by WILLIAM HORNE who operates a used car lot. Joanne: Did you know that after RON KOBRENSKI became a priest, he built his own church in Methuen and now has one of the largest congregations in the state? He is now planning to erect a parochial school and has asked architects WILLIAM HOWARD, BRUCE JOHNSTONE and BILL HUTTON to submit designs. Several nuns have asked to teach there when the school is completed, among whom is JUNE LONGO. Dorean: Dr. ROBERT LaGRASSE has offices in a medical building as do dentists BILL LAFFIN, WILLIAM LAHEY, and DONALD LeBLANC. As the secretaries, Dr. LaGrasse has EILEEN CUN- NINGHAM, SANDRA DEARDON, and PAULA PAGLIUSO. DONNA DEFEO and MARYANNE SYLVIA are Dr. Laffins Secretaries. Joanne: An organ concert at the Serlo Hall to be presented by JAMES ARENA interests me. I also plan to attend a Methuen symphony concert to hear CHARLES CAMPIONE play the oboe. Dorean: I certainly hope you have the opportunity to attend the concerts. Right now I think we ought to be getting back to the others. I hope I have a chance to speak to you about some of the other events that have taken place since our high school days. Well, this reunion certainly proved to be a memorable occasion for me. You can ' t imagine how much I have enjoyed being here, seeing our old classmates, and exchanging news about them. I am pleased to know that so many have met with success. Joanne: Yes, I always felt that our class of 1967 at Tenney High was quite special, but now I am convinced. Oh, listen, I hear music, and there will be dancing. We must join the others, but before we do let ' s promise to meet again for another memorable reunion in 1997. G bo w o a 18 00 O O
