Reunion

A 45th reunion - Saturday night, August 22, 2009.   The Saratoga Steaks at 200 Waring Road accept us as walk-in trade and have a space put aside for us to "gather."  You just show up eat and drink as you choose and pay as you go.  There is no cover. They even are providing us with a little bar food on the house, probably cheese and cracker stuff.  To add your name to the list, contact Gary Kaplan, Glk2188@aol.com
