Speaking of Reunions, Class or not, anyone have any interesting anecdotes re Reunions, and seeing people you haven't seen for many years? I personally avoided them like the plague for many years, up until 2001, shortly after the "Wackoos" were born, when we gathered on the Green at the Colonial Terraces to celebrate and remember the times we were kids in that neighborhood back in the 1940's and 50's. That could only have happened with the collaboration of the concurrent 50th Reunion of the NFA Class of 1951, headed up by some great local publicity by Former Mayor Don and wife Doris; CT Neighborhood Association Historian, Brian Flannery; The Ladies Who Lunch from the NFA Class of 1952; Judi Mahoney Dempster; Dae Vitale; Wackoo Emeritus himself and his brother, FSRR; Wackoo #4, My Muse, and her Texas cousin; Kippy Quicksell; Kevin Barrett; Fred Embden; Doug Kendo; and that nutty chap who wrote that rambling CT memoir that the Mid-Hudson Times had published a few months before that. Ever since then, it's been a wonderful sleighride back into the past and right down until today.
