Our 50-Year Grand
Reunion Gala and Weekend was everything it was supposed to be
and more. Saturday night, we had a ballroom bursting with love
and joy. We rocked, we rolled, and we had a blast!
Click here for a
full report. A photo
album is also now in process to help those who were there hold on to their
precious memories of this momentous milestone event in our lives, and to
share them with those who were not.

CLASSMATE
RECOVERING FROM BRAIN SURGERY – WANTS CALLS FROM OLD FRIENDS
 Popular classmate, Hal Wilensky,
completed his first round of chemotherapy/radiation treatments following
surgery in mid-April to remove a malignant tumor in his brain. Hal
happily attended our
50-Year Grand Reunion
Gala and Weekend last month. An MRI taken July 6th,
2010, showed no signs of any remaining cancer cells, and Hal says he
feels terrific, and he has been in great spirits since the beginning. He
is now getting additional chemotherapy treatments on a new schedule with
larger, less
frequent doses, shorter cycles, and more time in between cycles. He
would still very much like to receive phone calls from his old friends and
asked to have his phone no. placed here on our site. You can reach Hal
(EDT) at 617/416-2496, If you prefer to contact Hal by e-mail,
e-write Howie for his
e-dress. Hal, we all wish you a full
and speedy recovery. |

Captain's
column:

Ahoy THERE, mateys!
Have you heard the news?
This is your captain speaking, welcoming you aboard
your cyber-cruise ship,
"The Spirit of
1960."
Refer to this front-page column of
TM
to learn about the latest features and other significant site developments.
I may also use it to pass along other brief messages I choose from
time to time. I retitled the former
SITE UPDATE
column on page 2
SITE HISTORY
since it traces developments back to our ship's maiden voyage
launch in March 2000.
A
photo of the popular
Texas Ranger,
a 1972 photo of the late
Alan Lupi, and
a memorial tribute page
remembering Donny Fine.
NOW FEATURING VIDEO!!
An
original video documentary
entitled
The Dawn of Rock 'n' Roll, 1954-'59 made especially for us in
conjunction with our 50-Year Grand Reunion.
This is REALLY something!!
More
photos of our little town,
including two shots of our beloved
Rainbow
Diner during the 1958 Memorial Day Parade
and three of
Long Beach Road,
circa 1958-'59,
a
typical 1950s
Woolworth's lunch counter menu
and a
complete history
of over 50 years of OHS spring musicals
from 1957 through 2009.
A "new"
photo of our Nathan's, as we knew it,
an improved Jocko page with
an image of a
program booklet cover
from his first live stage show in New York City, 1956,
archival
images from the OHS
dedication ceremony booklet from September 21, 1955, and a complete roster of our
class of 1957
OJHS graduates
(with names you haven't seen nor heard in decades)
and some history of
our OJHS building have been added.
Our
class leaves its
mark again in our hometown,
and an updating tribute to
Coach Roy Chernock was also added. And we recently received a reaction to this
website from none other than famed rock 'n' roll DJ,
"Cousin Brucie" Morrow. Among our
other features are a page for our own home town clown, Jolly
Jazzbo, and his Jazzmobile. Not so long ago, our current home town paper, the
Oceanside/Island Park
HERALD (successor to the
Beacon
of our time) featured a
full-page article about
this website.
I hope you all keep
enjoying the cruise.
