  From the Class of 1969...
"On Friday, July 17, 2009, our 40th reunion began with dinner at Club Valentine. It was a a great turnout – including our special guests, Bob and Charlotte Sestak. We had 31 total in attendance: Diane Allen Ketchum; Kim and Carol Benedict; Debbie Cantineri; Sheila DuVall Hammond; MaryJo Fernandez Powley and her husband Mark; Bill and Kathy McManus; Dan and Mary Mills; Peggy Jo Shinners Smith and her companion, Bill Truffarelli; Linda Simpson Davola and her son Christopher; Lucille Stewart Hess and her companion John Southard; Ken and Cheryl Tatro; Doris Thompson Cochran; Dave and Mary Tyler; Vera Verity Dykes; Penny Whitmore Peters and her husband Carl; and Tom Yawger’s wife Barb. We were also pleased to have Scott Woodard and his wife, Joann, join us. Scott was our classmate until 3rd grade. On Saturday, July 18, 2009, Doris hosted an afternoon picnic at her beautiful home overlooking Keuka Lake. About 20 of us showed to enjoy a nice quiet afternoon reminiscing and getting to know one another again. Peggy and Lucille had brought a bunch of old pictures, yearbooks, and Ink Spots. I say a quiet afternoon even though Doris was trying to get everyone loaded with wine and some special drink she concocted!"

  This from the Class of 1953...
"September 26-28th, the class of 1953 had a terrific 50th class reunion. We located our German exchange student, Gisela Bockholt, & she was here to help us celebrate. Those others that attended were: Joe Walike, Cecilia Hale, Shirley Mulligan, Beulah Morse, Beverly Buck, Polly Campbell, Bertha Pierson, Wilhemina Jones, Kay VanDerhoff.
Friday night, the 26th, we met at the Radisson Hotel in Corning for dinner. Saturday we toured the school, town, landmarks & the windmill. We also called on Betty Rae Danningburg as she had not been able to make the reunion due to an operation. Sunday we had a picnic, which was held at the Pinnacle. Great time was had by all that attended. Just sorry that the guys let Joe down & he had to be with all of us girls!!! ALONE.. It looked like he didn't mind it at all.
Hope to see everyone again on the 55th. GADS, are we getting OLD or what!!!"

  This from the Class of 1958...
"The Savona Central School Class of 1958 held it's 45th year reunion Sept. 26-28, 2003. Thirteen of the remaining 22 class members attended some or all of the events along with several spouses and siblings. Friday afternoon and evening the group met at the Bath Country Club for a social time and dinner. Saturday morning was breakfast at the Savona Diner for a few of the early birds then attendance at the Bath History Fair and a tour of the Glen Curtis Museum in Hammondsport. Dinner was at the Waterfront on Keuka Lake. Sunday breakfast was at the Bath Rod & Gun Club followed by a trip on the Keuka Maid. Tom McGlynn coordinated (delegated) events and the group had such a good time getting together it looks like it may become an annual event. We saw Karen Baroody at the Rod & Gun Club and exchanged some information with her."
