55th year reunion a great success!
A total of 46 people attended our 55th year reunion on Saturday, Sept 17, 2016 held at the Maynard Golf Course. By all accounts, the food was great as was the venue itself. It seemed like old times, with much talk and reminiscing going on throughout the night. Pat Crotty and Judy Martino MacDonald conducted a Maynard trivia quiz which got everyone involved.

Classmate Burt Taylor passed away on Nov. 25 following a massive heart attack. We are deeply saddened and at a loss to find words to help in our grief. Burt was an accomplished pianist, a great athlete, and a true gentleman. He also was the catalyst in bringing us together for our planned 55th year reunion in September, 2016.

Two mini reunions held in June, 2015:
There was a mini mini reunion on June 6th as Arlene Chyzus Rushe was in town for a brief visit. Judy DeGrappo Boyko organized a last minute reunion and it was a great day as most of us hadn't seen Arlene since high school. She has lived in different parts of the country and could never make our past reunions. However, the small group that gathered got caught up with Arlene's life as we spent about two and a half hours gabbing at the Blue Coyote Restaurant in Maynard. In some respects, it's as if we just saw Arlene; she's the same person we remember in school - very friendly and personable. Below is a photo of that mini mini.
