The 50th in
2012
The actual reunion location place and date are still unknown and we are still waiting {as of 10/19/2009}. If you click on the 2012 a countdown clock should be shown. Of course the year may be correct, but other info was created to test the clock.
Please be patient as the reunion comittee is currently working on these issues.

There are about 300 yearbook size images. It took me about two minutes to load on my previous sloooow dial-up connection. It’s well worth the wait though.
Its Like watching an old time picture show.

Ronnie, I salute your outstanding efforts to keep the SHS Class of 1962 connected. The website is wonderful and a great credit to your talents. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information on the lost members of the Class. I pretty much rely upon Joanne Liddy Pierce to keep me informed of classmates.
I regret missing the last reunion but unfortunately I just couldn’t arrange my schedule. Currently, I am living in Selma, Alabama and serve as the Executive Director of the Edmundite Missions. My religious community (the Edmundites) feed, clothe, shelter and educate the poor in what is called the “Black Belt” of Alabama. Unemployment is about double what it is elsewhere in the nation and many folks are underemployed.
My task is raising the money needed for food, clothing, housing and education.
Thanks again for your thoughtful email. I hope all goes well with you.
Regards,

Ron, Your web page is great and I can’t wait to spend lots of time browsing thru it. I do have a change of address as we sold our house and are full time RV’ers and usually are traveling between Fl. where most of our kids are and N. Calif. where our youngest is.
Our mailing address is:
11619 Kipling Ct.
Clermont, Fl. 34711.
That is our daughter’s and she is not real good about letting us know what mail is there.
I do want info on the 50th reunion and would like to know if there is an email list that you have for those of us who don’t have a permanent home base. If so, can I be added so that I will get info on reunion. Also, our phone # is now 352-217-****.
Thanks,

‘Don sent this e-mail some time ago. I came across it the other day and after pondering it over a bit, I decided to publish.
It is very sad about our classmates who are no longer with us.
My best friend in high school was Del Hoobler;
Carol (Cokie) Meacham was my girlfriend for three years (she still has my class ring, and I have hers)
Hal Buchanan went to my college, Hobart;
Gary Barnes and I went to 8 years of grade school together (Pennsylvania Ave.);
I always thought Donna Baldwin was sexy, and we shared classes together;
I think Richard Barnes was one of the early casualties of Vietnam;
Carol Doud was driving a car, when it went through a stop sign, killing three, when we were seniors. (I have a distinct memory of that night. I called Del to tell him the sad news);
Martin Donner, recently killed in a fireworks factory accident lived on the same block we did in Southport, throughout grade and high school (my mother stays in touch with his mother and sister);
Larry Spencer also lived on that same block, and I lost touch with him when he went in the Navy;
Fred Dietzel was a scholarly good friend who died from AIDS before I knew what it was;
Life is fleeting.

I, too, received postcards trying to find information. I talked to someone on the phone who said he would remove my name from their list.
Also I received cards for my brother and sister and both have been deceased for several years. Crazy world!
I enjoy your website very much, Ron, and was upset when I was unable to find it for awhile. My knowledge of computers is so minimal I figured I had sent your website to neverland and could never retrieve it.

Hi Ron,
I’m constantly getting post cards in the mail from supposedly the Elmira City School District with a return address in Chesapeake, Va.
Is anyone else receiving these cards?
It appears to be a scam to me.
The cards are signed Julie Carr, Harris Connect Directory Office For Elmira City School District.
They claim to be after personal information for the Southside High School graduates directory.
I just throw them away.

Hey Ron,
I’ve taken some time to sit down at this keyboard, a break away from inventoring (Shelby’’s Barbie dolls) (deceased wife for those who did not know)—Ron, please do not fall over, yes I have finally put some notes on your site….
I have to say publically, thank you for the recent invite to Lowman, back in June…It was great to visit with both Sandie and you and the cats….
Remember the pictures we took at the waterfalls in upstate NY.
I had a customer want that picture in poster size for his den.
I’ll have to remember to put that set of pix up on “flickr.
As a hobby, I tend to “get lost” on week-ends taking pictures of where ever and what ever.
I am NOT a photographer, just a picture taker. I’ve done weddings for friends, I go to motocross events, tractor pulls, horse shows, cruise-ins (the best one lately was in Pilot Mtn.) (the Andy Griffith’’s show series – Mayberry.
Mount Pilot cruise in starts mid-day, parking cars all over the business street (only one–Main st) and the local business that are closed, their parking lots….Then they and spectators drive up and down Main St. Go to my website in the sidebar “gniess_chronicles” to view some of my pix.
There is about 11,000 pix there.
My current camera is a Sony Alpha 700 with an 8gb and 2gb memory cards. Which means I can take about 600 to 800 pictures in high resolution before I have to put in new cards.
My printers are a HP 5500ps (wide format–up to 42″ wide by 84″ long) a pair of epson 1400′’s, a KM2300DL color laser and a Oki 3200 laser.
Well here it is already lunch time, Sat 13. so I”ll close this note for now Ron,
I am sure Sandie has found some more “projects” for you to complete….work on.
Oh by the way, have you seen anymore of your bear….. Yes everybody, I mean real bear in Ron’’s back yard.
Talk about being out in the boonies, they pipe in sunlight where Ron now lives.
It took him about 3 months to get a phone line installed and in the mean time, Ron could only use his cell phone at one of the outside edges of his deck.
Have a great day buddy,
Joe B.

Hey Ron,
You guy`s are doing a great job on the website thing. I read where it say`s I have to get on the ball with my info.
Well here goes. Since graduating I have worked for West Elmira Vol Fire Dept 20 plus years, Erway ambulance 20 plus years and retired from NYS Dept of Corrections.
We always know I would end up in jail lol.
Married for 18 yrs divorced and remarried to my present wife Peg for 23 yrs. Second time was a charm.
Upon retiring we moved to Myrtle Beach SC. I did some security work here, but decided that was not for me. I have since become a SC. State Constable (policeman) and I work with Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Horry County PD`s.
Now that is a fun time. That is about it from my end, just enjoying every day that I watch the grass growing from the green side up.
December 9, 2008 at 8:59 am
Ronnie, Mike, Donna,
You all as well as everyone involved are to be complimented on the work and accomplishments you have made with this website.
I recently received your e-mail and was surprised to hear from you.
I do remember you and Stack Electronics, spent many hours there previous to you.
Please let me know if Jack Titus is still around. I would like to contact him as it has been many years and he was a very important person in my life.
Many fond and growing memories.
Relocated here to Wyoming a couple of years ago. Bought a small ranch in the mountains just west of Sundance, WY and would not give it up for anything.
We are about 5500 ft up and get plenty of snow in the winter but what the heck, I grew up in NY and after school relocated to Rochester area where I spent a few years before being transfered to Kansas City, then to Miami, then to Atlanta, then to Lakeland, FL where I owned a company for 25 years.
Closed the company in May 2006 and got away from heat and humidity and came out where “the deer and the antelope play”.
It is really beautiful and peaceful. Our closest neighbor is a mile away and it is PEACEFUL here.
Not to ramble on but just touching base and THANKING YOU for including me in the class.
God Bless All of you and keep safe.Take Care, We Care.

I encourage all of you to do this… it’s got to be the second best thing to attending a class reunion.
Thanks so much Ronnie for all of your work in in trying keep our class in touch with each other.
You may find my webpage under class members story’s as well as others or just by clicking on my name.

Ronnie,
You certainly are doing a great job on the website. It really looks “cool” and you keep it up to date. I like that in a website. So many websites (like my one at work) is so out dated that I’m embarassed to give out the address. Thank you so much for all that you do for the website. I may take you up on your offer to help create a website sometime but first I need a home computer that works when you want it to. Until next time. Joann Pierce

I don’t know if you got my email about Mary Lou (Rafferty) Masin, one of our classmates and my cousin passed away last Friday. She was 64 years old. Her wake was last night and this morning is the funeral. That is two of our classmates in two weeks.

Hello Ronnie and classmates…
I am sad to see Peter Pazahanick’s passing. He was a good friend that came to our blueberry farm every year and acquired his blueberries and veggies. The last time he was here, he brought us a load of covered buckets. Loved our conversations and we use to joke a lot. I shall miss him.

Here it is March 7,2009 and we just came out of a blizzard,20-30 degree temps. and now, as I write this, it’s 70 degrees here in Pa. All this weather change in a matter of 4 days. I knew Anetta Neason Gion all through St. Mary’s and SHS. I always wondered where she went after Elmira. Her wonderful grandmother passed away while I was in VietNam. I just heard about her cousin Mary Lou Rafferty passing. My condolences Annette. Bob Howland

By the way, so you don’t have to rattle the brain, I’ll be 66, thank you very much. If this decrepid old body will hold out, I’m looking forward to July 15, 2012, for the 50th reunion!!!!!

SHS ‘62 Classmates:
In the years after graduation and leaving Elmira the teachers and SHS classmates drifted in memory, perhaps even into apparent irrelevancy. Other venues, other influences, other people stepped in their place. But during more recent years an odd chronological game of leapfrog, a reversal has transpired as my SHS days and personalities reasserted themselves. Perhaps I’m not alone in this experience. Here are a few of the people, sadly now mostly deceased, whom I recall most fondly.
Although Donna Baldwin broke my heart in the third grade when she selected someone else to carry her books home from Riverside School– and later correctly noted I couldn’t “fast dance,” I now hold no grudge. She remains my first love, and in my memory a beautiful, sexy, happy and energetic girl, and one, I must add, who was blessed with a wonderful mother, Ma Baldwin who, after my own mother, epitomized “mother.”
Certainly for all of us one of the saddest days was the day Carol Doud died. Always smiling, happy, perky and helpful, she was a joy to be with. Her death was, I believe, the first time the Grim Reaper directly touch a classmate. I think Carol would have become a terrific, caring success, perhaps a nurse, and that unrealized image keeps her alive in my mind.
Throughout most of my years at SHS Carol Smith, a.k.a. Sonja Kirstann, was my sweetheart. Like the foregoing Carol, “Smitty” died much too soon. To this day she exemplifies for me feminine self-confidence, quiet intelligence, and spiritual strength. I cried when I heard of her death, and I miss her still. Carol, with able assists from Marlene, Linda, Sharon and a few others who were kind enough to have dated me during high school, made it possible for me to graduate from SHS a somewhat dismayed and bewildered virgin. But here, too, I harbor no resentment. Well, almost!
In my personal Pantheon of significant instructors I must mention Irene St. John, Bob H,
Juanita Gardner, who indirectly designed my professional life, and if I may, B.J. Miller, whose influence extended from PC to SHS and carved a wide and paternal arc.
My note is already too personal, already too long, too focused on the departed. Surely, each of us has classmates and teachers who left their watermark on us. But if you will allow me one concluding personal note– this time from the living- Bill Stowell has defined for me wit, humor, and friendship. Knowingly or unknowingly, we all were, I hope, so fortunate as to have shared and received such reciprocal gifts.
Don’t go away. The next reunion awaits your presence.

Hi everybody, I’m not my first message got through. I forgot to put the email address. I’ll try again. I did go to SHS & graduate in 62. I’m sorry that I do not remember you all. First I hated school & did not go very often. After school I went in the Air Force fore 4 years. Spent 1 year in Viet Nam. That was enough so I got out. Next I worked for Sperry Rand 3 years. Then went to Kodak for 29 years as a machinest. Now I’m semi-retired from there & I drive a county bus. I am also the Union Rep & I am on the Amalgamated Transit Union Board of Directors. The Union Position takes up a lot of time. I married my wife Janice from PennYan in 67. We have three girls & six grandchildren. We live in Geneva,N.Y. I’m not sure you all wanted to know all this but there it is. You may remember I used to love to dance. I went to every dance I could & danced every single dance. I sure wore out a lot off shoes. But I had a good time. Well I have taken up enough time & space on the site. I would like to hear about more people from our class.It does not really sound like we lost to many class mates so far. I did go to the 30th. reunion but didn’t remember many people or feel comfortable there. So I have not gone again yet.
June 6, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Hello Jim,

Hi Ron and All
Have been reading the correspondence on SHS class of ‘62 site. You’ve done a wonderful job Ron keeping us all abreast of our class.
I have had 4 sons, one deceased and 7 grandchildren, counting my foster daughters 2 babies. I was a professional parent in many ways. lol Boys go from 21 to 45 y/o.
I am a registered nurse, now semi-retired, still a Red Cross Nurse, and have Merrill’s Tax Service in Horseheads, NY. Most of my day is spent on the computer so I rarely get on for pleasure, but came across your email so hear I am.
Guess I better just say sorry you are moving away, but I’m sure you’ll stay in touch.
My pic is not in the year book so perhaps many of the classmates don’t know who I am, which is fine, but I am sure my Hopkins St. and Penn. Ave. classmates do. I worked in the guidance office under Mr. Simmonds all 4 years.
I am so sorry to hear about more of our classmates passing away, yet we are all getting of the age where I guess we should expect the course of nature to prevail.
I hope all of our classmates will stay healthy and happy and be able to attend our 50th reunion. I’m looking forward to it and had a wonderful time at our 45th.
God Bless all of you.
