We have finalized plans for May 14. The memorial celebration will take place at the Pearl River Library at 10:30. Immediately following we will walk over to the site of our high school for the tree dedication in memory of our deceased classmates. We are very pleased with the response that we have received to date. In addition to classmates, Tony's wife Nancy, his children, his sisters and brothers, as well as friends will be attending. Family members of several of our deceased classmates will also attend the dedication of the tree.
Following the ceremonies we will enjoy lunch at Banchetto's in the Nanuet Mall.
We ask that those planning to attend please in form Peggy Sodreberg ( if you haven't already done so ) so we can arrange for the proper set up of the library and restaurant. Her e-mail address is: peggysoderberg40@yahoo.com.
