1952: 55th Reunion Year - Missing Alumni , 1992

Hamilton High's class of 1952 will be celebrating their 55th reunion in this year of 2007. From my Hamilton High School folder in the local history collection, posting the a graphic which was given to me by Martha Bisbee Bogdan when the class was preparing to celebrate their 40th back in 1992. I assume the "missing persons" will be pretty much the same this year. My former next door neighbor Shirley Sneath Benton was living in Arizona the last time I spoke with her daughter.

1947: Mercerville School

Here are two of my HHS '51 classmates hard at work on a Valentine's Day dance at Mercerville School. I didn't see much of Betty Sustick at Hamilton High but Sylvia was a very familiar personna as one of the star alto voices in Louise Baird's HHS choir.

1947: Charlotte Wilson Coyle 1933-2006

Judy and I were shocked when Jim Coyle called and told us of Charlotte's untimely death on January 6th. Judy and Charlotte were like sisters all through their childhood years, living just around the corner from each other, and hanging together through thick and thin. Indeed, Charlotte told Judy she was the reason she converted to the Catholic faith. I started school with Charlotte all the way back in Miss Kelly's Reception grade and through all grammar school and 4 years as a classmate in HHS '51. Charlotte was a straight "A" student all the way through school. I will always remember her as a wonderful, kind, and dear friend. As to Judy, with a tear in her eye, she said "She was my very best friend." May the Good Lord welcome her into his heavenly kingdom.
