How about more profiles people.  Let\'s not have all of Bruce\'s hard work go to waste.  Let\'s have some fun out of this

Okay, that previous guestbook entry is from me ... forgive the blooper. Testing a laptop .... and not liking it very much, after that! Have fun, folks! Hope to see some locals another time. Doug Faulds, you need to contact one of the Cassin girls!!!

Well, Boo-hiss! I won\'t be able to attend after all, even though I thought it would come together even up until 6 weeks ago. Like another classmate, my older daughter is having a baby, and I\'m going out to LA to see her before the wee one arrives. My trip happens to be the same weekend. My best wishes for fun and great memories to everyone. I hope you all have a rollicking good time!

My tickets are punched, Boys & Girls!"In for a penny, in for a pound".Looking forward to seeing folks at Molly Malones, the football game  AND the 19th Century Club!Only going to be 100 here in Tucson today (Friday, October 1st)  so anything below 60 degrees at the football game, I\'LL be the one in mittens and a PARKA!Safe travels, everyone!

I can\'t believe all the classmates from 1971 that are attending ... should be a fun time!

OPRFHS Class of \'70 graduate Gerry Sullivan was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame\'s Class of 2010 at its 14th Annual Induction Awards Dinner on September 15, 2010. Gerry played football for Oak Park River Forest High School, followed by a career at University of Illinois, and eight more years with the NFL Cleveland Browns.   Tickets are available now by visiting www.chicagolandsportshalloffame.com. Individual tickets are available for a donation of $125 and tables of 10 are available. Further information is available at the website or by calling Mr. Fagan at 708-780-3679 or 708-426-5212.

I will not be in attendance at the reunion. I have fond memories of my days at OPRF and many of you, as well. I decided after attending the 10 year anniversary to leave my memories where they were. If anyone wants to contact me feel free: dennis.corry@gmail.com. I will accept your Facebook request if you desire. Have a great time, be careful...any time I think of saying good night to Cliff Johnson at 4:00 AM gets me nervous...that is about the time I get up...yikes!!! All the best. 

All.A special thanks to Bruce and everyone who has put forth a special effort to help this come together. Let\'s all chime in, in a timely fasion to help the planners put the final numbers on each event. We are only going to do this one time. Sort of like High School.....John

Richard C. Byrne are you there???

Any St. Edmund\'s alumni want to meet up and catch up Friday and/or Saturday? Let me know and let\'s get together.

Sorry I won\'t be there - I\'ve been booked for paying gigs on both nights.  Welcome to working as a professional entertainer - the show must go on!  Have fun!Lee Darrow, C.H.www.leedarrow.com

My husband Al and I are coming from Cleveland for the Re-Union!  Can\'t wait to see my OPRF friends, as I have been out-of-state since our graduation!  Hope more classmates will sign up..this should be great fun for all of us! Thank you Bruce and your team for all your efforts!!

It was a great visit, Holger ! If you see a 6\'5" guy ride by on a nice BMW motorcycle, wave. It just could be that travelin\' man, Hogie! Anyone remember the CAMP DUNCAN 3-Day field trip? I think we did it at Emerson in 6th grade. Holger was my bunkmate. He had the upper, I had the lower.  As I recall, one of the girls in our class fell in that little lake or creek on that trip while collecting science specimens!

Was planning to attend the reunion but my older daughter decided to have a baby just about that time.   I\'m writing this while at a B&B in Brighton, Ontario, CN.  In the middle of a 12,000 motorcycle trip.   Had a chance to see Al Mazika while on this trip.   Enjoyed getting together with you Al.   Have been living near Los Angeles since 1974 so I have not seen a lot of people.   Would love to hear from everyone...  TAJ7074@AOL.COM

 Wow! I didn\'t know I was missing! Anyway, I\'m still here. I don\'t live in Oak Park anymore but am in Woodridge, Il. I\'m married and have two daughters. I\'m a veterinary technician. I\'m really enjoying my job, kids and animals. I would really love to come to the reunion but I don\'t know if I can make it yet. About that senior thing? Speak for yourself! My parents are 81 and 82. I\'ve got at least another 20 years in me.

Hey Tim - I also sent Shima an email boost ... and got some lame excuse about starting a new Cardiology Practice in East Texas ... blah blah ... probably can\'t get the time off ... blah blah--I\'M NOT GIVING UP YET.

Hey.....what a ride life has been so far! Just remember "life is a bear....a big brown bear."

Major Props and  Kudos to Chip Kramer for sharing that graduation film.BTW, That\'s me seated right in the middle at 3:11 into the clip.

Greetings, fellow Huskies!After being AWOL for the 30th & 35th reunions, and at the risk of prompting a flood of CANCELLATIONS, I plan to BE THERE in October for the 40th.OK,  Bruce Lehman, I submit that we are NOT "Senior Citizens". At least not just yet.I say it\'s not OFFICIAL until the DISCOUNTS kick in!Very sorry to know that Chuck Zamutt will not be there in October. Aside from being a big part of the reunion committee, he was as nice a guy as you\'d want to know.My only Chuck story is remembering him bringing in color photographs of one his surgeries to Band one day!FYI, In the past year, I have made on line contact with then Band Director, Ronnie "That sounded like a B-29 landing!" Holloman, and English Lit instructor Joe "I once went skinny dipping in a pool full of Jell-O" Granias.This is for my ex- RICKETTS HOMESTEAD Pony League teammate, Thom Mammoser:I have been living in Tucson, Arziona since late 1974 and working in local TV (visit our site at kvoa.com) production since early \'75. Married with 1 daughter. At the time, I never intended to stay here for the next 35 years but, as with a lot of us I\'m sure, life happened while I was making other plans!Looking forward to October 8th!

Hey,  Sharon another female is responding and who would have guessed another St. Ed\'s graduate!  I\'m so sorry to hear about Chuck Zamutt\'s passing we shared a homeroom for 4 years.  Looking forward to the reunion and seeing lots of "old" faces.

Chuck was a beacon of light to us.

Very sad news about Chuck. He was one of my best friends in HS. We talked and emailed alot these past years; I remember sitting with him and having a long chat at the 30th reunion. I\'ll miss him so, such a great friend.

Hi, I just wanted to let my brother\'s classmates from OPRF class of 70 know that you lost one of yours yesterday. My brother Chuck Zamutt passed away yesterday morning 14 days after successful liver cancer surgery. He just never could quite get over the hump to recover from the surgery I guess. As most of you know, Chuck was sick most of his life, but always had a smile on his face and was always a happy guy. You never would have known that he was always sick. He will be sorely missed.Mark Zamutt class of 73

40 years for us, and never would I have dreamed that I\'d have a dughter just graduating high school now. Life\'s been full of surprises, and a move out of state. Oak Park still remains my favorite Chicago suburb. Some of the best music & melodies are from those years.

Seems like only yesterday... well... only a few years... ok, it\'s been quite a spell hasn\'t it?Wish I could make the trip; alas I cannot.  All the best to you all.I\'m still in the SF Bay area, married and our son is in the Marines.  Hope to retire from Shell Oil in a couple of years.I was really saddened to learn of Ron Roller\'s passing.  He was my best friend in those years.  If anyone has any information about it, please contact me.Rob Vorderbrueggen

Just posted the St. Edmunds Class of 1966 graduation picture.

Sure would be nice if a few more classmates started to post their profile along with what is going on now.

Surely I\'m not going to be the only lady to post here. I\'ll keep checking back to see ~ I hope to see some female names in here shortly. I don\'t know yet if I\'ll be able to make the reunion, but I\'ve enjoyed seeing familiar names and photos! All the best to everyone!

I keep forwarding the reunion info to Shima but I don\'t see his name on the list.

This will be interesting....

John Wilcox called me today. What fun. It was so nice to hear from him after 40 years and have some good laughs. Looking at some of these photos, makes me aware of warm and affectionate feeling toward so many. We all lead busy lives. It would be great fun to come back for a weekend reunion.Best wishes to you all."Rich"

Bruce, we don't even get senior discounts yet! Looking forward to re-connecting with many good folks.

Greetings fellow senior citizens. If you can contact anyone shown on the Missing Classmates page who’d like to join us, please direct them to the RSVP page of this website. All former OPRFHS teachers get two free tickets – if you know any, please invite them and tell them Thomas Tegge, David Gore, Marlene Spicuzza, and maybe Don Rehkopf plan to come!

Happy New Year. I am here in Oak Park keeping everything safe for the reunion.  I am in the building business and emabarass my family on a daily basis.  But then, everyone should have a hobby.

 Yes, I am alive and still kicking, tho not in competition any more!  I work both for myself and for Quill Office Products (now Quill.com) as a technical Sales Specialist and for myself as a stage entertainer (for companies including Sandals Resorts, Oprah Winfrey and even the US Government). Drop by my website at www.leedarrow or my MySpace or FaceBook pages to say HI!

Hi folks. My apologies for letting my Alumni membership lapse. I am sure you were  ALL deeply concerned to see MY name appear on the list of the "missing". Well, OK, maybe 1 or 2 folks were concerned. Still alive and kickin' in Tucson. Still married, still working. Best regards and Happy Holidays, classmates!

Hello all! Looking forward to September and fall but not winter. It will be busy for me, as i have a grade school reunion in a couple of weeks. Also I'm going to the Ides of March 50th Anniversary in Glen Ellyn in a few weeks. Dick Biondi will be hosting, that should be fun!

WOW--What A Great Reunion Weekend! ( It's been 10 days & I've almost recovered ; ) Really Looking Forward To Our Next--Gathering of The Forces--IN 2020 !!

Guess I let the time slip away. Retire two years ago. Sorry to here about   "Coon Dog" (Chuck S.). Glad some of us are still having fun.

It has been a couple of weeks to collect my thoughts but I keep coming back to the same one .... "That Was GREAT!"  Friday night at Molly Malones, the tour of the school, the football game, the 19th Century Club, the Ale House, reconnecting with old friends, making a few new ones and just having a great time has me looking forward to the next one.

My flight is booked. Looking forward to seeing everyone. I will be flying in on Thursday and leaving early Tuesday. If there are other plans for the long weekend let me know.

I echo Al\'s praise of John\'s work on the Reunion DVD! Great job, John! Thanks once again to Ron & Bruce & Peggy for their hard work and dedication, and now for the continuation of the website!! Let\'s continue to make this a living, breathing "yearbook" by posting entries and profiles! It\'s been SO nice and memorable to read the words and see the faces of classmates and friends! Here\'s hoping that a joyous holiday season awaits each of us!

Does anyone know where Sharon Oreilly of class of 73 is?

YIKES! I am exactly 2 years away from The Beatles "WHEN I'M 64". Heck , I've ALREADY got the "When I get older losing my hair..." part down!

Al - we're not getting older - we're GETTING BETTER!!! (From the same Beatles album: "I used to get mad at my school; the teachers that taught me weren't cool")

John Meyer stikes, again!Another GREAT job on the Reunion DVD!Mine arrived Saturday and showed me, among other things, that I managed to MISS seeing Mr. Gail Goodwin, my homeroom teacher, at the reception!Would loved to have aid \'hi\'. To quote another famous OPRF Alum:"D\'OH!"

Both great venues. See you in 2015.  April Ross Moon
