JF Kennedy Waterbury CT: Class of 1966 Trying to Have a Reunion
Well, we have all been there, I believe and when we got that diploma, the talk and tears were prevalent. Some did stay in touch and others not so much, but when there were over 300 graduates, especially in 1966, the future had questions.
We had a few reunions in the interim, I remember one in 1986, our 20th as well as a big one in 2016, our 50th.
For those seeking yours truly, I am kneeling just above the word school, and my wife is beside me as we were classmates back then.
Our class was special for the fact that we were the first graduating class for the new high school in Waterbury. We were not supposed to be together as there were other schools that would handle our numbers, but as we had been together 3 years at the Croft high school that was being replaced, we petitioned and moved in mass to be allowed to complete the years together.
I was not one of the class officers but was somewhat known as a character. and always had a smile on my face.
Earlier this year, I was contacted by a few fellow grads inquiring about a 60th reunion for the JF Kennedy High School Class of 1966.
I knew that our class President had passed 6 years ago.
What I do know is that many people in our age group, approaching 80, do not want a social media presence, even though there are a few sites like Classmates, and even a JFK site that is not our school, but people do seek.
So, I have taken the initiative and reserved the date of Aug 1 for a reunion site. I am reaching out as best I can to fellow alumni to get attendance, and so far, have less than a dozen. There will be some type of gathering and as we only had about 60 attendees for our 50th, if I could get half that number, it would be great. The reality of time is harsh, and we know that a few have already passed. Some may be too tired or just not have the strength to attend.
So, this is being pisted as an encouragement. I have been contacted through ActiveRain, as my real estate blogs are still out there and if people seek me by name, great.
Again, the J F Kennedy, Waterbury CT Class of 1966 is trying to get as many people as we can for our 60th high school reunion. Spread the word. I take calls on my cell at 203-206-0754.
This is a good thing, and fellow Rainers can help just by liking the post, so it gets indexed.
