lam ropheqf TIME: June 19, 1979 PLACE: Hotel Astor, New York City OCCASION: Reunion of the Class of '59 Dear Diary: I have a long entry for you about our class reunion last night, which was certainly a huge success. Laughter, gaiety, and dancing pref vailed during the evening, and I learned of the occupations of each member of the Class of '59. First we had a delicious dinner, served by WILLIAM NORM COFFIN, chef of Becker's Delicatessen, and enjoyed enchanting music, offered by TOM SING ALONG WITH ME FINNEGAN and 'his band The Irish Setters. Captain and Mrs. Zeaman were among the many dancing. We remember her as NEAL FIESINGER. Now she is teaching Italian and besides that she is very busy being a wife to a naval officer. Across the room I noticed BILL NASH. Of course he was telling jokes to be used in his Broadway hit play, Hi There, Guys! He is co-starring with Bob Cummings, star of stage, screen and television. Coaches JIM PALMER and MIKE SKIN' NER were talking over the games played at S. M. A. I was surprised to hear that they have revised the game of basketball. Now a player is only allowed to use one hand and one foot. If anyone needed firstfaid, JANICE WATERMAN and GAYLENE NUBORAf ZEK were present to offer their services. They are both famous doctors in New York City. ANTHONY KUNEY presented everyone with a box of Cheer. He is now president of the Proctor and Gamble Company and is wealthier than the Rockefellers ever thought of being. JANET MLINAR stopped singing long enough to tell us of her career. Besides being a fine wife and mother, she is secretary to the D.A.R. in Chicago. PHYLLIS LIDDON and JO ANN CLARK are now in the entertainment field. They are writers and directors of that hilarf ious T.V. show Huckle Burry Hound. Also present were CORKY DESMOND and MARY JO BURNS. CORKY is mar' ried to a famous physician and they live in Washington, D.C. MARY JO is renowned as a designer of Mary Jo Fashions. DENIS SIVACK and his wife, the former SALLY FALK, have achieved unusual ca' reers. They are a champion skating team known as DEN and SAL. The party was still going strong when I had a chance to talk to school teacher, PAT BRODOWSKI. She is an instructor of English at Siena College. Doing the Mombo were my friends LYNN HEBERT and MARY HOLLAND. Lynn is a candidate for Mayor in Little Falls and

Joan, now known as Joan Davies, has just finished a film called, Charming Niagara and Carolyn is a Newspaper Col' umnist and writes the Dear Abbey column. At the opposite side of the room I noticed C Y N T H I A KANE and CATHERINE WELCH. At the present time, Cindy is a professional Golf player and spends much of her time at Moynihan's Golf Course in in Glens Falls. Cathy, of course, is employed by Susman E? Sons Electrical Company back in Little Falls. After dancing with DICK HART, I learned that he is retired from the Air Force and spends most of his extra time working at Dudik's Service Station. I also saw JUDY DALY who is now married and living in San Fran- cisco. She owns a clothing store called Terry's on Pierce Street. The familiar tune of our Alma Mater was directed' by Monica O'Hara, now known as Rodge Krupa , who is a voice instructor at Birdland. I received an autographed book from that famous author, CHARLES FITZ' GERALD. His latest work I Was a Teen' Age Paper Boy, is a best-seller. ANN CTHARA has made a small fortune conducting Stanley Brush Parties. Ann has many Stanley products of her own. Talking with Ann was JACK MCCARTHY. He is now a professional basketball player and is a wellfknown star of the Globetrotters. Believe it or not, JACK MANORE is a very outstanding ballet dancer. Jack came all -the way from Paris to attend the class reunion. At Paris is located Manore's Ballet Academy. And last but hardly least, I had the honor to have an interesting conversation with MIKE WORDEN. Mike has entered the field of psychiatry since he no longer owns Donahue's Wholesale Company. Well, dear diary, the Class of '59 has achieved great success and I close this entry with the hope and prayer that God will direct all of them in their chosen fields in this world and grant them everlasting joy in heaven.
