Reunion Picnic (Photos and Commentary)

Classmate (Lee) Craig Schoonmaker has posted a discussion, with many fotos, at his "Newark USA" blog: http://newarkusa.blogspot.com/2012/07/50th-year-reunion-picnic_20.html. It discusses some matters other than the picnic too, however, so if you just want to see the fotos, you can go to the class's Picasa online photo album: https://picasaweb.google.com/112770242009411686880/MTHS62?authuser=0&feat=directlink.

50th-Year Reunion Plans

Mid-July will see four events for members of the Class of 1962 of Middletown Township (NJ) High School. Rather than repeat things that have already been published to the Internet about these events, or soon will be, let me merely direct you to the class website (that I am building) and to the photo album appurtenant to it. The website is still under construction, and in the early stages of construction, but the foto album is in good order, tho there are as yet very few fotos in it.

If you are a member of the Class of '62 and would like to offer comments, fotos, or anything else, please write to [MTHS62 AT gmail DOT com] (make appropriate replacements to render this character string into a working email address).
+
Fotos should be in .JPG format and at 72 pixel-per-inch resolution, tho they can be over 4,000 pixels on a side.
+
Please identify everyone in the foto, left-to-right and back-to-front. Please also use the name that appears for you in the yearbook, with any necessary alterations. For instance, my name in the yearbook is Lee Craig Schoonmaker, but in 1967 I shifted from my first name to my middle name, Craig, so became "L. Craig Schoonmaker". Many female members of our class changed their name upon marriage. Some may have hyphenated their paternal and marital names (paternal name usually would remain in first position such that Mary Doe would become Mary Doe-Smith on marrying John Smith). Were we part of this naming-controversy, or before it?
