Jordan Central School Class of 1960.....

How does this blog work? Under a heading (for example Jordan Central School Class of 1960) you can read the original post. Then visitors can post comments or email mjdoyle@twcny.rr.com and she will post your comments. Comments on each header can be found in the lower right side of the post. Right now you can read 2 comments.


2010 will mark the 50th anniversary.

It's time for a Class Get-together! If you know of anyone in this class send them to this blog. Classmates can communicate with each other, spread the word and get something going.

With only 35 in the graduating class we should be able to get communication going with most.

Do you remember? 1960 was a leap year; U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy (D-MA) announces his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination; Elvis Presley returns home from Germany, after being away on duty for 2 years; The 32nd Academy Awards ceremony is held, Ben Hur wins Best Picture.

If you have any problems or questions post them here or email MJDoyle@twcny.rr.com

Thanks Maureen, for putting this post on the jordanny web site.

OK....what is this all about? Some simple arithmetic proves the irrefutable fact that as of 2010 50 years will have passed since the intrepid class of 1960 graduated from Jordan Central School. The next to last class to graduate from JCS it should be noted, the class of 1962 was the first official Jordan-Elbridge class although they never went to school together or even graduated together. It would be a shame to let such a momentous occasion go unnoticed.

The hope is that we can use this blog entry to "find each other" in the year we have before next year's alumni banquet, yes it's still being held. It would be nice to plan some other activities around the banquet and that's what we're trying to get started here. I'll throw out an offer to host a picnic/cocktail gathering at our home sometime over that weekend but soliciting offers isn't what this blog entry is about. What we would like to do is gather contact information to find as many people as possible, put together a list of who plans to be there, and begin the planning process.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone, spread the word!!!

1960 Classmate responds;
From Sharon Robinson Simonds - I just got this info for the blog and also am sending it to Sharon Ashby Denniston's son as Sharon and I still see each other all the time but she hates computers.

Well, we both live in Baldwinsville mailing address so I guess we are/were easy to reach.

Great to hear from you Sharon and hopefully Sharon sometime soon too. Sorry....sad attempt at humor.

I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Bob McCard and Jerry Roach at Bob's place In Soldatna, AK in June. They are both planning on being here and I've shared the information about this blog with them.
