Newtown '85, if you have not voted for the Reunion 2012 date, please do so before end-of-day Sunday 6 February 2011.  That's like some time around 11:59 PM.  Before that, way before that, please.  Don't wait until 11:59 PM.

2012 Reunion!

Our 2010 Reunion was a hit and some people expressed interest in another reunion in 2012.  Here's the first step toward that goal, Newtown '85.

THE EVENT!!!

Here you go, non-Facebook Newtown '85 classmates.  The event arrived and it was a blast.  Many people brought cameras and nobody forgot to load them with films!  I know, back in the 1980s cameras used films and sometimes we would snap away without knowing there was nothing to save the precious memories to. These are just the photos from my camera.  Hopefully there will be more.  To pause the slideshow, right-click somewhere white in the "notebook".  Mac users, control-click is equivalent to right-click, that is, hold the "control" key and click the big one button on your mouse or trackpad.  Enjoy!

September 2009 Mini Reunion

On September 25, 2009, a year before the big 25th anniversary reunion being planned, some of us Newtown '85 got together at the Grandstand Bar & Restaurant in Elmhurst, NY, not too far from Newtown itself. Not all of us showed at once but in the end we had more than a dozen people. Facebook is nice but it cannot replace meeting the old friends face-to-face. Do you recognize anyone?
