To all who knew him, I\'m very sad to report that Jim Mayes died on Sept 4th after a long battle with cancer. Jim (along with myself) was a Riverton boy with many friends at the A School. After high school Jim became a chiropractor and moved to South Carolina in the Greenville area. He\'s survived by Susan, his wife of 32 years. Very sad news

I\'ll tell you what, folks. The years at the Alternative School were some of the best in my life. I didn\'t realize until after I left the AS how wonderful all of you were. What a brilliant, creative, curious group of people. I wish I had explored more and taken a greater variety of classes. What a great opportunity we created. I am so glad I was part of it, and it still pays me dividends. I cherish all the memories; both the clear ones and the foggy ones. What a great faculty, staff and student body. Can\'t wait to see you all again.

Gary, Brad and Rick... here it is: suebobhill@yahoo.comYou know what to do... get on her! Good Luck!!

HEY EVERYBODY !!...whos been checking out this site and signing this guest book and has plans of coming to this event(lots of ands)...the "clock is tickin"everyone needs to respond ASAP.Get your tickets,and or contact the "contact us" part of this site,or Bob Glass direct.Questions and stuff like that,contact Bob Glass,PLEASE...Quoting my self,again..This event is "History Coming Back TO Life"its gona be an all day Blast.Everyone and anyone is welcome,student or not. Got to act ASAP.Cant wait to see everybody....hey Robert T,where you be?? And Joe Volpe(Verp),see you soon.Were gona have an F-in BLAST.

Our goals for the reunion are SLOWLY coming into place, Kyra attended the last planning meeting and it was great to see her!!Our short list still factors around rounding up as many CAS students as we can and believe me when I say that we have been diligent in or efforts. The fact remains that we are still shy over half of the attending student body and that we greatly need everyone\'s help on this.Many folks we know are coming yet have not yet climbed aboard the website guestbook or classmates section. It is important for all to get aboard as it creates even more excitement about the reunion as time passes. Many however are completely unaccounted for and this is where YOU come in. If everyone currently visiting this site took a  proactive stance to encourage other students ( either those that we are aware know about the reunion of or not ) to climb aboard, our mission and monetary goals would be met shortly. This might require reaching out, making a few calls and maybe having to repeat those calls to encourage folks to climb on the reunion train and to provide us with their email addresses for contact.Truly the reunion has been an absolute labor of love and has been driven solely by our love and passion to make it happen in the RIGHT fashion, at the old A school and in the old A school spirit and philosophy.Truly also all initial funds came out of scant few pockets as we did not have the luxury of an alumni association structure or purse.It has taken 30 something years to make this reunion finally happen so NOW is the time to pledge both your personal and ( more importantly at this juncture ) MONETARY support for our, VERY SPECIAL reunion !!! If you have not yet sent in your monies for tickets PLEASE do so!! If you are able to donate time, services or money...even better!!My involvement and participation in the reunion has been an incredibly personal and emotional endevour but it would seem that ALL of you share in those same, special, amazing emotions that we shared together between 73-77. A true, community action is needed here to grow our base and to realize our dream to reunite the Cinnaminson Alternative School at LEAST one more time!!! I relish seeing you all again REALLY soon!!!  Bob

Well..well..well. There are so many names I have not heard of in a very long time. It is wonderful showing my now 23 year old son all the pictures. I will try my hardest to make it up for the reunion.

Hello my fellow A-School students.  It is so exciting to see the list getting longer of old friends that i have lost touch with.  This reunion is certainly going to be a GREAT time for all of us.  Let\'s continue to spread the word so that no one is left out.  Looking forward to seeing you and giving thanks for all we have on our Thanksgiving weekend reunion!

Wow. I saw that picture of Danette Distefano on the main page and my old high school hormones started racing. What a babe. I hear that Kyra is also involved now. Va va va voom. I don\'t remember learning much in her clasess. Too involved in my fantasies. Since I am even more handsome and dashing than I was back in high school, I anticipate both of them will be swooning over me at the reunion. You\'ve been warned, ladies.

KKK:So glad to hear you\'re involved. Can\'t wait to see you again.- Walter

Wonderful to see that so many could make it to Whister\'s... looks as though everyone enjoyed themselves. Sorry I couldn\'t make it, but what the hell, what\'s one more old hippie in a room full of hippies.

Hi everyone , going to the Aschool was the first and last time I made A\'s on my reportcard!!!!!!!!anyway the experience I had will live inside me forever. my sympathy goes out to Fran in the tragic loss of his wife. my prayers are with you.

WOW...can not believe the names that have been added!!This is going to be so FUN!Great job Bob Glass, Bob S...and all the organizers.I miss everyone on this list and can\'t wait to give everyone a BIG HUG!I could not believe to see Barrie Medina, Howard Perry, Bob and Beth Albasi  (where is Walt)My own sister SUE....RICK, BRAD!Gary C.  My brother BILLLOVE YOU GUYS  Bob A

Thanks to all ( I feel like I\'m doing a PBS fund drive  LOL) whom have sent in their funds and supported our reunion!! As Michael Laing ( Woodstock promoter / visionary ) once put it.."The important thing here is that it is happening", and happening it is, we are close to one month away and the clock ( there go\'s that PBS thing again ) is ticking, FUNDS ARE DUE NOW. If you are waiting to acrue interest, don\'t bother..have you checked the bank rates recently? If you are waiting to see who is coming please check our RSVP list, over 130 folks so far and growing..YOU will make it 131!! If you just like waiting to the last minute be advised that the upfront funds scale the reunion in every aspect..SEND REUNION FUNDS IN NOW so that we can better meet ALL of our vision on OUR day back at CAS.NEWS FLASH...although it\'s been batted around for awhile we are now able to confirm that the CAS ALLSTAR BAND ( featuring Jerry Downs, Chet Woodward, Randy Lippincott, Bob Stirner, Mike Vogelman , Bob Albasi , Bob Glass and...will be performing in the Community room sometime Sat afternoon!! Featuring tunes that we played THEN...Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Blues etc.Howdja like dem apples.NEWS FLASH...SEND YOU FUNDS IN NOW!!See ya in a couple!!!                       Best to all.                                         Bob

I am sad to hear about Jack Hingers passing. Jack's unique view of the word helped form our school. The article on the front page of the web site almost made me fall down. The author of this peice stated the school was formed in the 90's , which in actuality was in the 70's, and the characterization of the school being for special needs students could not be further from the truth. Yes we were special, but special needs,,,,,,,,,,,hardly.

Hey Robert..Get naked now,or at reunion? LOL LOL.For you early A-schoolers,im the younger brother of Mark Sanders.Got to spend my 10th grade,75 thru 76,w/orig.staff.(if you havent done so yet,check out photo tribute to the final year w/ orig. staff),along w/all the other great shots from the earlier days.My connection and great friendship has remained w/the likes of Robert&Mindy Tokarczyk , Bob Stirner and a few others from the past.Thanks to the help of Robert T.for getting my photos posted of the years 75thru76...Now alot of you may be checking out this site and planing on atending..please,please,please,,respond asap to Bob Glass,or Bob Stirner or make your ticket purch.or both..Anyone and everyone connected in ANY way to this school,,student or not is welcome.This is not your avg."school reunion"..This is,,,History coming back to life...so jump on board,if you havent done so yet.post away in this guest book too.

Greetings friends, Just talked with John Blair for about one hour, after not talking for all this time. Bob Stirnir gave me his number and I am still buzzing. Let's all get together and enjoy each other's company one more time, eh? To all of the teachers, thank you!

Oh yeah,lest we not forget our first CAS Reunion social (read PARTY ) FRIDAY APRIL 9TH at WHISTLERS INN ( the old American House ) on Rt 130 in Cinnaminson, NJ / 8 PM till........My sense is that this is going to be a VERY well attended event and a very FUN gathering of the tribe!!SEE YA THERE!!!!!!

looking forward to it !!!

WOW......what a GREAT CAS night out at the carnival.  I saw so many faces that I have not seen in years.  It was fun to catch up and carry on about days gone by and how much fun we all had together!  I can not wait to see you all again. Everyone looked great and all had BIG smiles.  So glad i was able to make it.Thanks Linda Edwards for talikng me into staying for the event!

hey everyone...sounds like we need to step up our game and cough up some more $$$$Lets help out Bob S with the final details and give some more money!!!!I\'m sure everybody can find at least an extra $25APPLES

Since graduating from CAS I have spent the last 30 or so years chasing, loving and living my true passions and life dreams. The teachers and environment at the A school allowed me not only to ID my own sense of bliss and happiness but to live it every day as well. I almost can't wait to see everyone assembled at that school again!!! I trust a massive party will ensue, one that we have all been saving up for thirty years or more and more importantly, one that will rekindle new "old" relationships from here on in.

contact every one you know so we can make this a success. everyone get naked lol

Hello everyone!  It's been too long.  Looking forward to seeing everybody.  Cheers, Bob

Count me in on the band! What a great idea. Hey Steve Moorehouse! Hoping you would turn up. It's been a long time since we listened to Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance together. Look forward to seeing you and everyone else.                             JD

Not an alumni but I have fond memories of hanging around the A-School, Wood Park and many of you. I still think of you all, especially when the old music drifts in....funny how that happens. All the best to you, my friends.

NEWS FLASH...just in from the advance CAS planning union and the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen...those of us whom were part of the A school experience but didn't actually attend are not only welcome but encouraged to attend. At our first get together, Bob Glass, myself, Ray and Lee had opportunity to see many photos and an old 8mm film of Ray's.. and to our pleasure found that many of the folks in the photo's did not actually attend ( shocker )....they were just "there" all the time. It has been our expressed mission  to try to recapture, reassemble if you will a day in the life at CAS...SO....having said that...ALL THAT CHOOSE TO ATTEND THE REUNION ARE WELCOME!! Moving on rapidly...we are going to try to assemble an "All Star CAS Band " for the week of the reunion...thought it would be cool to have real, live bands but even cooler...a band that comprised many of the folks that were jamming together at that time with an evenings worth of music ( Rolling Stones, Peter Tosh, Grateful Dead, Lightning Hopkins etc, etc ) that we were playing at the time...likely suspects....Randy, JD, Chet Woodward,Bob Glass, myself , Bob Schmidt ( if we can locate him or his brother Jeff or Julie?????? ) etc. etc. Which brings up another question /request to everyone to try to reach out to yet another CAS student that is not represented here...your help is GREATLY appreciated as we have been having a tough time locating many folks. Lastly, please think about what YOU would like to DO that weekend...more exactly...what would make the reunion weekend MOST like going back in the time tunnel...music, certain activity,building geo domes, driving somewhere in a bus with Chuck Mattern ( thanks for that one David Bliss!!), sex, drugs....WHAT!!!!!!?????

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Fran.So sorry to hear this sad news.

Have dome will travel. Upstate PA, southern NY or northern NJ all sound great. Pick a weekend! Found a great site for all you live music buffs;www.wolfgangsvault.comStream concerts from back in the day to today. Avett Brothers to Zappa; King Biscuit Flour Hour; Fillmore east/west and everywhere in between.Hopefully I am not the last person in the world to find this amazing site and if I am, why didn\'t you tell me?

Hi everyone,Went to the meeting last night at Bob Stirner\'s and feel so guilty that it took me so long to get to this website.  They\'ve been doing so much planning and preparing for this fantastic event - and what they need now is our money!  If we want to eat and drink, and if we want to hold a community meeting in a huge tent (the all purpose room at the Eleanor Phillips School is now a theater with seats on the floor) then we better commit!  This is very exciting!  Everyone who is anyone will be there!  I\'m sending in my money today!

Hey all!!! This event will surely be exciting and nostalgic. Looking forward to talking to friends, and mentors of the past. C ya soon.......

anyone have any pictures of the 1974 graduation?
