I really enjoyed the evening very much. The place was great and nothing got in the way of being able to move about and talk with so many friends and acquaintances from the past. I felt like I was watching the Turner Classic Movies station - Hey I remember that guy, didn't he have a lead comedic role in the 1965 movie - Homeroom Study Period with Mr. Schoolcraft! And that girl there  - wasn't she the narrator of the 1960 Clarke School Travel Log - Family Trip to Nassau, and her over there - yes she sang the hit song in the 1961 version of American Idol (the Miss Francis 5th grade talent show). Gee the whole experience was like time travel. Talking with so many people who share common memories was an absolute delight! I had completely forgotten that I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day of every year at Clarke School! What an awakening. The evening stimulated my memory so much that I think I removed 10 years of plaque from my aging brain!

 

Thanks to everyone who helped make the evening happen!
