2007: KUSER FARM SUMMER SUNDAY EVENING CONCERTS

2007: LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL REUNIONS OF NOTE

HERE'S A REPRINT OF THE TRENTON TIMES OF JUNE 20TH WHICH LISTS SOME OF THE UPCOMING HIGH SCHOOL REUNIONS IN OUR AREA.

1944: BILL BINDER HHS '45

BILL WAS A CLASSMATE OF BROTHER BUD, WHOSE CLASS OF '45 JUST CELEBRATED ANOTHER OF THEIR ANNUAL REUNIONS AT THE WASHINGTON CROSSING INN.

1944: THOSE REMARKABLE MCCLAIN SISTERS

HERE SHE IS BEFORE SHE BECAME MRS. VERONICA LARKIN. EVEN AS WE GLOVER BOYS WERE TOLD THAT WE ALL LOOKED ALIKE, SO TOO DO THE MCCLAIN GIRLS! NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE THE SAME FACIAL RESEMBLENCE, THEY ALL BROUGHT THEIR DISCIPLINED UP-BRINGING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CLASSROOMS. THOSE OF US WHO WERE STUDENTS UNDER TUTELAGE OF THE MCCLAIN SISTERS, QUICKLY LEARNED RIGHT FROM WRONG, AND THE MEANING OF SELF CONTROL.

JULIA AND VERONICA, WHERE ARE YOU NOW THAT WE NEED YOU?

1944: EVEN THEN HE WAS AN ACCOMPLISHED VOCALIST

HERE'S MY HHS '51 CLASSMATE BILL BAGGOTT AS HE APPEARED IN A MASONIC HOME VARIETY PROGRAM. I NEVER ASKED BILL IF HE WAS A BOY SOPRANO IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS, BUT I WOULD BET THAT HE WAS. HIS VOICE WAS ETHEREAL TIMES TEN.

1946: THANK YOU LORRAINE FEEHAN MAY!

THIS IS PAGE ONE OF THE MARCH, 1946 CRITERION. SEE THE FOLLOWING POSTS FOR PAGES 2 THROUGH 4. MANY THANKS LORRAINE, THIS IS A WONDERFUL SUBMISSION!

1943: REMEMBER HARLAN DARLING?

1943: HAMILTON'S GIFT TO UNCLE SAM

2007: STARTING SUNDAY, JULY 8TH

I will be hosting the early Sunday evening music programs at the Kuser Farm Gazebo this summer from 6 to 7:30 or 8 PM. The success of my outreach programs to senior citizen groups throughout the area over the past 20-plus years led me to believe that I could bring the same musical program to the summer visitors that I have been performing over the years. Most of those who attend the summer Kuser concerts love and respond to the "easy listening" nostalgia type of music, as opposed to the contemporary music of the younger generation. We'll be singing, dancing and listening to the music of Perry Como, Mario Lanze, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Barry Mannilow, Patti Page, Rosemary Clooney, Don Cornell. Classic country music, easy listening love ballads, silly songs, the 40's, the 50's, the 60's, World War II, you name it, we're probably going to sing it.

ALL SONGS WILL HAVE UNDERSTANDABLE LYRICS!
ALL SONGS WILL HAVE A MELODY!
ALL SONGS WILL HAVE A "G" RATING!

I hope to see many of my senior citizen friends at the concerts, and I encourage them to bring members of the younger generation to listen to "The Music We Grew Up With.
"OH YEAH, I FORGOT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THAT LITTLE CONCRETE DANCE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE GAZEBO. I WELCOME ALL OF THE DANCERS IN OUR MIDST. WE'LL HAVE POLKAS, LINE DANCING, JITTERBUG, WALTZES, FOX TROTS, OLD FASHIONED "CHEEK TO CHEEK" DANCING AND MAYBE EVEN "THE STROLL!

"THERE WILL BE NO RAIN DATES.

1947: SENIOR COUNCIL

1947: HHS FOOTBALL

1947: "MOODS IN MUSIC"

2007: A REDUNDANT REMINDER TO MY WEB VISITORS

I will be hosting the early Sunday evening music programs at the Kuser Farm Gazebo this summer from 6 to 7:30 or 8 PM. The success of my outreach programs to senior citizen groups throughout the area over the past 20-plus years led me to believe that I could bring the same musical program to the summer visitors that I have been performing over the years. Most of those who attend the summer Kuser concerts love and respond to the "easy listening" nostalgia type of music, as opposed to the contemporary music of the younger generation. Accordingly, I approached Mayor Glen Gilmore and volunteered my services. Mayor Gilmore and Kathleen Purdy from Hamilton Recreation and Kathleen Fitzgerald from the Senior Center, have given me much needed encouragement and moral support. I hope to see many of my senior citizen friends at the concerts, and I encourage them to bring members of the younger generation to listen to "The Music We Grew Up With."
OH YES, I FORGOT! THAT CONCRETE DANCE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE GAZEBO WILL WELCOME ALL OF THE DANCERS IN OUR MIDST. WE'LL HAVE POLKAS, LINE DANCING, JITTERBUG, WALTZES, FOX TROTS, OLD FASHIONED "CHEEK TO CHEEK" DANCING AND MAYBE EVEN "THE STROLL!"

1943-1945: ALICE WILHELM'S TRI-HI-Y" CLUB

JUST BEFORE SHE MOVED TO FLORIDA BACK IN THE 1980'S, ALICE WILHELM CALLED ME AND AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HER HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL MEMORABILIA. (WAS I EVER!) SHE KEPT A VERY NICE COLLECTION OF OLD HHS YEARBOOKS

AND NUMEROUS CLASS PROGRAMS. UNFORTUNATELY THE STUDENTS ARE NOT IDENTIFIED. CAN ANY VIEWER ASSIST ON THIS? PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT THOMGLO@VERIZON.NET IF YOU CAN.

1945: BILL ZULKER, HHS '45

BILL, CHUCK, AND GINNY ZULKER WERE ALL HHS ALUMNI. GINNY ZULKER WAS WAS A POWERFUL ALTO IN OUR HHS '51 CHOIR WITH MY WIFE, JUDY BRITTON GLOVER AND SYLVIA ARENA BEESBURG.

RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM BILL ENLIGHTENING US ON HIS ROLE IN "THE BELLS":

Hi Tom: Just read your Friday, June 01, 2007 Blog regarding my participation in the operetta "The Bells of Beaujolais," on Feb. 16 and 17,1945 for which I had to learn two tricks as a magician. I pulled a coin out of another actor's ear and I also juggled three balls at a time. It was great training for similar experiences for many years to come. Best wishes, Bill

Thanks, Bill.
