As part of my re-connecting with my high school days, I recently joined the Newtown High School Alumni Association, just in time to attend the luncheon on April 25. In terms of recruiting for next year's reunion, it wasn't a successful event for me as the one classmate I met I was already a "friend" of his on Facebook. The entire decade of 1980s only had a few people. Still, it was good to finally meet Jorge in person. I also got to meet the current principal, Mr. Ficalora, who was a math teacher way back in 1985. Mrs. Silverman, in pinkish clothes, had decided to retire - I had her for Biology. Thanks go to Mrs. Borromeo for arranging the event!
If you are interested in joining the Newtown Alumni Association, mail a $10 check or money order, payable to NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL, to

Bulletin Board
I think an adjustment to this blog is in needed. If you want the reunion committee to contact you about the reunion, then use the form at

If you don't mind having your email, phone number, etc. displayed publicly, by all means post a comment and include such info to re-connect with any lost friends. I had to delete a comment from a reader recently because it included a phone number, but going forward, such comments will be published, unless the reader explicitly states that the info should not be revealed.
