Woodbridge High School: August...

August...

Welcome to your updated blog edition. Summer is drawing to a close as many from our Class of '70 look forward to our 45th year reunion on the September 19th. Our blog includes some cool memories provided to us by way of Doug Hart and Charlotte Enik/Klecan. Much of the success this site has enjoyed over the years is due to the many classmates that have contributed to the effort and for that I say thank you!

This month we enjoy a team photo of Fords Junior High football team back in 1966. The El Dorado cover and some pages from the ALL Hi News. Our contest winners are announced that will enjoy the Tommy James concert on September 15th. Finally, two of our classmates and one talented and unselfish musician are profiled. I hope you enjoy the read...sit back, grab your coffee and enjoy the music.

* Ginny Shaffer Kershaw Awesome job guys! My Mom graduated high school with Raymond Jackson back in 1933 when our HS was actually Barron Avenue. Now, Cousin Brucie's visit to our Thom McAn...I was second in line for his autograph that day! Thank you for the effort you three put into our Blog. Ginny

* Kathi Jedrusiak Bornemann writes: Rich, Diane and Cindy, With each passing month I am more and more blown away, down right jaw dropping impressed at this incredible blog.

* Linda Kirchhoff Sequine Folks, I really enjoyed the story about our Jersey Shore. So many memories for me...several of us formed a sorority during our freshman year at WHS. I still have my old pin. Joanne Caldwell, Lillian and Linda Latavich were in our small group spending many a day sunning down at the beach. Each August my grandparents took the entire family to Wildwood for three weeks. We could bring friends to join us. I have such good memories of the shore, especially that of walking the boardwalk with my future hubby. Now we go back every year on July 22nd to Point Pleasant to celebrate. Awww, such memories...thank you. Linda.

* Ken Kertesz writes: Rich, Cindy and Diane, way too much to read and absorb in one viewing! Wow! When do you folks find time to do anything else? Once again, this Blog and site is one terrific way to re-connect and stay in touch. Absolutely superb! Thanks to all who contribute and participate. Warmest regards.

* Alan Semok writes: I want to thank you for the very nice profile of my "life since WHS '70" for the class Blog. I do appreciate the effort and am flattered that you even thought it appropriate to do. So...MANY thanks! I have been enjoying the Blog and really loved the piece on Chuck McCann (whose influence is probably one of the top five reasons why I decided to puruse show business). Chuck is both a long time friend of mine and is unquestionably an underrated comic genius. Again, thanks to the three of you for your efforts on the Blog and I'll continue to look forward to future updates.

Thanks for all the research that you guys do, the history is fascinating. It is very interesting to find out what fellow classmates have accomplished. I also enjoy feeding the fish. Ha ha The picture I recognized right away as **** *********. Keep up the good work guys. Thanks- Penny Shuff McConagly
