(don't remember her married last name) and it was one great affair. There were a lot of people there from the area and from far away, and it was great to see everyone. It was a word of mouth and Class Mates invitation and as I understand over 200 people attended. And of course Rose and Norm Abdallah were both there. They looked great, by the way! Proceeds went to the Cancer Society (it was a $5 donation to cover the entertainment) and I can't say enough good about the whole affair. Hope they have it again next year and more will attend. There were Varsity customers from St. Mary's and Cortland High there and even a few from Homer High. If you weren't there, you missed a great time. Congratulations to all who planned the function, you did one fine job."

When I was growing up in Cortland, in the 60's and 70's, I always wondered what happened to everyone there. I thought as a lot of kids did, that I was destined to live my life there, and never do anything worth while. Well, in 1973, that all changed. I moved! Yep, to San Jose, California. Been on the move ever since. Anyway, after joining the US Marine Corps, and traveling all over, I was stationed onboard a ship, the USS Belleau Woods. Long hot days at sea, on a crowded ship, 2500 other Marines and Sailors. Kinda feeling a little depressed one day, and then a thought came to me. How lucky I was. How many people from Cortland, get to do this? Travel half way around the world? Visit all these strange and wonderful lands, meet all the people I did, hell, I even lived in Hawaii for a few years. Then one day, after a month or so at sea, I came across a sailor giving me a strange look. When we finally spoke to each other, I found out it was one of my best friends from elementary school (Randall). So Virginia, people from Cortland do get to leave now and then........."

Good memories: blizzarding days when we got to stay home from school; sledding in Beaudry Park followed by hot cocoa in our kitchen; skiing at Greek Peak; fabulous springtimes, flowers everywhere, violets bursting out of every crack in the sidewalk and ditches lined with orange daylillies; waves of lilac scent on a wet, warm late spring night; fall colors like nowhere else, so many colors; autumn sweater weather; summer rain and clouds and storms; hikes in the lush woods; swimming at the quarry and Little York Lake; the deer and pond at the Waterworks; Home Dairy cookies and treats; Chaffee's Chocolate Shoppe and the jukebox there; many lovely old homes. Unpleasant memories: wet boots, numb toes, wet mittens, numb hands and ears and nose; that miserably despressing old junior high school with all the plumbing wrapped in insulation exposed in the hallways; long, cold, snowy winters--too long; rain and snow and more rain and snow; being new in town and not having any friends; too many dark, dank bars--depressing just to walk by these places; too many short, dark, dank days in wintertime; lonliness; lousy jobs; swelteringly hot summer nights with no air conditioning, not one breeze; small town cliques; feeling oppressed by it all; shoveling snow. I wonder about the people I knew, though, what happened to them....what happened to me is I was moved, moved again, married for 17 years very unhappily, then divorced, moved to California and now I teach school, which I love. Happily remarried. Three daughters. Some of my siblings have mostly happy memories and return to Cortland from time to time to visit friends. The name above is not my real name, but if I gave it I doubt anyone would recognize it. If someday I visit Cortland, it will be bittersweet and anonymous, not to see old friends, of whom there are none, but to muse and remember those unequalled springtimes and splendid falls."

I was born in Cortland, his father was also born there as was Nathan but we moved away when he was 2. Now Nathan is studying for his PhD at Cornell. Everyone in Cortland was so helpful to us and we had a wonderful time. Many thanks to my sister, Pat O'Rourke, Cortland's official flag lady who lives on East Ave and truly has a different flag out each day of the year. She and husband Gerry were marvelous hosts. Wish I could have seen my classmates from SMS '69, but maybe I'll make it to a reunion in the future. Right now I'm a supervisor at Erie Co. DSS in Buffalo working to find homes for kids.

I spent hours in 281 bowling alley on saturday nights, and I see the soft ice cream stands have not fallen yet either. My house belongs to someone else now, but is is as I remember, except the trees I planted are much bigger now. The ugly smoke stack from Wickwire bros is gone, but so are the water towers. I loved hearing the bells from the Presbyterian church steeple as I remember long ago. Some friends were still there, and did their mothers smile when they figured out who I was. I heard a John Wayne quote that put it as best as I could describe. (forgive the spelling) "Mis raisas esta aki" it translates into "my roots are buried here" need I say more.

I haven't been back to Cortland since 1985 or so (and that was just for a visit). Would LOVE to hear from anyone who graduated in 1980. Sure do miss the "simple" life and I will return some day.

I had been living in Atlanta,GA. where I was working for Mercedes-Benz. Then I moved to Raleigh, NC.

I just thought I'd tell you I found a real job, and found some real and caring people. I don't have fond memories of my school years there, or trying to find a job in Cortland afterward. I attended Virgil Central School in the early '60's, and again during the '64-'65 school year. I was picked on unmercifully for being handicapped (Cerebral Palsy), which was something that I couldn't help and sure didn't ask for. The lame-brained teachers that were there then are retired by now, I'm sure. I've always wished they had consulted with a medical professional before they declared judgement on me and decided that I was "walking worse" than I needed to to get attention. Believe me, that couldn't have been any farther from the truth! To damned bad they wouldn't listen!"

Looking to get in touch with old friends from the Class of 83. We really did it right back then. I moved from the Cortland area in 1986 to Daytona Beach, Fla. Tropics did not suit me well so I returned and left again in 1993 to move to Alabama, where I pursued a career as an "Apprentice Maritime Engineer" for 3 years out of the Dallas area--then my feet brought me back north once again...I have been back since 1997 and have finally started my own computer repair service "Elite Dynamics"...I have worked hard to get this established and am hoping that it will turn out to be a successful business venture. I am also looking to get in touch with some former classmates from my early years as a "Hell Raiser"... You might be impressed by how far I have come... Brenda Sickmon - if you are out there please give me a shout, and Paul Alteri, if you should ever see this, I know just how the rebels down there can be - they will be fighting the Civil War well beyond the Armageddon (ha!ha!)... If anybody would like to reach out to me, feel free to give me a shout (607)-758-8678. To all those who do know me, and thought I was long since dead and gone - Well, I guess I am just a bit too sly to let the "Grim Reaper" tag me for that proverbial dirt nap...
