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.
