Who's Coming 2024

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=358145464651&ref=nfHey is the link to the new facebook group!Becky Hauser-Stsauveur and Jamie "Feller" Genre said they will be coming...LOL

Two of the passions I developed at the A-School are for geodesic domes and camping. Friends of ours participated in the National Wildlife Federation\'s "Great American Backyard Campout" last June and enjoyed it so much they kept going. They blew past 100 days last fall and with a little help from their friends have weathered the winter. Recently, the Boston Globe picked up the story. Check out the links below for the full story and to see if you can recognize Jeanie or me in the pics. We are traveling down from our home in MA today for the chance to see old friends at the American House (aka Whistlers). Hope to see you there!Two of the passions I developed at the A-School are for geodesic domes and camping.

It was a great night at whristlers everybody looks great,Had a really good time.Hi to all.

 What a great time at Whistlers last night.  It\'s been 34 years since I\'ve seen anyone.  What fun.  Thanks for putting this together.

Hey All ! ! What a blast last night at Whislers...How about every friday night till reunion....Anyhow,great to see all of you.

Whistlers was a blast! Squirt (Dicky), why are you in almost every photo???Princess....(Charlene)

Hi all.... last eve at Whistler\'s Inn was so wonderful ... Walking through the crowded room and seeing all your smiling faces and especially the light in your eyes … was an experience that lit up that place in me where joy resides … After so many years of not seeing each other and leading our separate lives ... having our way-ups and way-downs in life … to now after all these years reconnect as a group … opened up a sense of transcending the space between “then” and “now” …  I\'ve re-recognized in a deeper way how transforming the alternative school experience was for me … and I believe for so many of us.   I was struck by a common comment that came up in several of the individual conversations I had last eve ... the theme that reemerged multiple times was one of being unable to adequately explain your profound experience of the Alternative School to your friends, family and kids who came into your lives in the years after leaving the school.       I\'ve thought about it. Obviously, a profoundly powerful group bonding experience is not unique … but what was unique for us was that it occurred in a public school …. and what\'s even more so is that it occurred between students, teachers, volunteers, some parents and even other folks who just hung out there! … So, to talk to someone else about a “school” in that regard leaves them a bit a bewildered … because of what “school” means to them certain things just aren\'t going to compute when you explain it.    Anyway.... it is just a real joy for me to listen to you all talk about what the “school” experience uniquely means to you in the here and now of your life.  See you all in November.  :)

It was great seeing so many faces, sorry to those I did not remember. But today I looked at some the old pics and now puttings names those faces I remember. Do will all look so different today! Thanks for a great night!

Wow!!What a great time last night!It was so nice to see everybody!what really touched my heart was that even though we haven\'t seen each other for so many years we still had that bond of friendship.And we always will !I can\'t wait for November!!

I\'m pretty excited at the thought of re-connecting with some of the folks who helped me shape my direction, and inform my choices.

It\'s been 5 days since the EVENT. I can\'t stop thinking about what just went down. There isn\'t enough space on this site to explain what it meant to me. Thanks to all who made this come together. WOW

I want to thank every body who helped put this wonderful reunion together, I still can not believe what happened. Seeing all of you together that day will be with me for the rest of my life.Very emotional for me I love each and every one of you.Thank you  all.More to come........ Larry you missed out...

OMG !!!WOW !!! What a day-night...For me, the daytime events ment more to me in many ways,and realy set the grounds for that unforgetable evening.I realy got a better understanding of how it all started.The input of the begining year people,like Robert Tokar.and Mark DiGirol.played a big roll in the alternative school.not just the staff.You guys set the pace for the great 5 years to follow.I was lucky enough to get in for the final year.Thanks again to you early grads...and staff..Back to the reunion....it was 15 and a half hours of the best thing i ever expereanced.Quote Ray S."JOY JOY JOY"..Thank you SO MUCH again,Bob S and Bob G.......and all who contributed.

While not a graduate (moved from Cinna. before the A-school opened), I was friends with many and have fond memories of hanging around the A-School (& Woodpark after hours). Looking forward to the reunion (I'll be with JD).

anybody out there, just nod so i can hear u

OK, general consensus is that will SHOULD have name tags but only if accompanied by those swirly, XRAY specs to go along...you know, the kind you found in the back of  comic books, sold by the Johnson Smith Novelty Co...actually the woopie cushions worked much better..... Keep the post's and pic's coming....wow...B

I keep trying to avoid participating but I just can't help it......HELLO I MISS YOU ALL AND THE (strange, wonderful, electric) TIMES WE SHARED! Ok I said it. Love - Sammy

woopie cushions should be handed out at the door, this would create conversation when used, and I want a name taqg so I will remember myself

who is going to spike the punch?

Welcome to the home of the Johnson Smith Company, one of the oldest catalog companies in the United States. A household name in novelties, gifts and collectibles since 1914.

I just found out about the big event i"ll be there,im going to try to get Brad Graham who\'s in florida to come up,Geno Marquis will be there also,and im going to grow my hair in afro,and Bobby applegate you didnt mention my name I only went out with your sister.

I\'ll be in Lexington on friday, so I want someone to represent me well by voting to start early, end late and enjoy the time in between.

Just got back from Whistler\'s Inn and all I can say is WOW! Fantastic to see everyone there.

Thank you committee members for the nudge to come. Thanks to all the sponsors. The destiny moments continued at the reunion. Could you all feel the love between one another? The outcome of visionary perserverance put some more pieces together from the recall of the A School in \'73-\'74, which I must declare was an awesome year, with survival of faded memories.Thanks for renewing the newly created memories. I appreciate now even more the dedication and courage it took to step outside the educational box to spark the creativity in this connected community. May we all influence the next generation with confidence to think outside the box.These success stories from the A School faculty brings inspiration to take some more plunges. Thank you all for your dedication to the call for our generation during "crazy" times. Keep in touch.

this is great

There\'s still black marks on that county road, where we drag raced our pick-ups and mustangsAnd weathered all the sun and rainAnd to this day up on that overpass, even underneath the new paint, you can still see,"Allie, will you marry me?"Take a ride, look aroundThere ain\'t no doubtIt sure left it\'s mark on us, we sure left our mark on itWe let the world know we were here, with everything we didWe laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this townThere\'s still a rope burn on the old branch, that hangs over the river, I still got the scarFrom swinging out a little too farThere ain\'t a corner of this hallow ground, that we ain\'t laughed or cried on, it\'s where we loved,Lived and learned real life stuffIt\'s everything we\'re made ofIt sure left it\'s mark on us, we sure left our mark on itWe let the world know we were here, with everything we didWe laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this townLike tattoos on this townEverywhere, it\'s where we areIt gets me right, in my heartIt sure left it\'s mark on us, we sure left our mark on itWe let the world know we were here, with everything we didWe laid a lot of memories down,And we\'ll always be hangin\' around, like tattoos on this townLike tattoos on this town

Great to see all of you again...

wow....long time no see...see ya all at the open bar!

Hey guys,Thanks for all the memories from when I was young!  When I was so passionate (thank you John for reminding me of what a maniac I was) and when young boys fantasized about me (thanks Walt!)  I really had no idea...I thought you learned a lot in my class!  I\'m considering retiring now.  I am currently the Social Studies and World Language Supervisor in Cinnaminson.  I was actually laid off in 1990 and returned in 1995, then got my Ph.D. at age 50.  Looking forward to the next stage of my life.  Any suggestons?  I\'m listening.Love,Kyra
