This first picture was taken 4/21/63 at the Gonzaga Jesuit Retreat House, Monroe, NY. I don't remember our retreat master's name, but I'm sure you all recognize our "chaperone", Father Peter Chiara, to the far right. It was the "senior retreat" for the Class of '63.

The second picture was of another retreat, this one was at St. Ignatius Retreat House (Inisfada), Manhasset, NY, 11/19/64. We were now "freshman" in the college at St. Pius. Father Barry was our spiritual director, kneeling on the far left. In case you are wondering how I was able to "name" all the faces in both pictures, well, a lot of them I actually remembered! For the rest, I still have my copy of the 1962 and 1963 yearbooks and was able to identify the ones I couldn't remember. Now all we have to do is find all these people... Bill Coady '63

Recent Class of '63 get-together..

On Saturday night, December 3, 2011, myself, Tony Breuer, Jim Drinane, and Frank Dunne, got together at Rocco's in Greenwich Village for an evening of food, fun, and friendship. Since Frank was the only one with a tie on, he graciously paid the entire tab....not! Some things never change...I think he even quibbled over the tip.

Tentative plans for a Fiftieth Reunion of the Class of '63 were also discussed during the dinner. Beginning with the 1963 Yearbook, an attempt will be made to contact all the former members of that class. It would be appreciated if anyone who was from that class or knows members of that class, get in touch with either me, , or Tony Breuer, , with their latest contact information, e.g. email address, mailing address, phone number, etc.

At this point everyone's prayers are needed especially during the Christmas season. Decisions by Mike and his wife Marie might be difficult.

Do you remember...

Surely everybody recognizes the picture to the left, taken 11/15/2011. Yes, the proud lady still stands erect. But what about the following recent pictures of what should be familiar sights to many of us. Granted, time has not be too kind to any of these structures, but who remembers what they use to be and their relative importance to anyone who had attended St. Pius. If your memory fails you, just hover over the picture for the "answer".
