JF Kennedy Class of 1966 Reunion Success!
On the afternoon of August 16, 2026, 33 Alumni from the class of 1966 gathered at the Sunset Grill in Watertown CT for a reunion. Sixty years had passed since we received our diplomas, representing the first graduating class of the new J F Kennedy High School in Waterbury CT.
From the pages of our yearbook, I snapped what they looked like, as that would be the memory many were seeking as they walked through the doors.
In 1966, we were over 300 classmates. Time can be cruel and when it came time to try to gather, I stepped up just because someone had to do it since we no longer knew where our surviving class officers were.
Those living in the state, were at an advantage as the drive was relatively short, no longer than 60 miles.
We had an alumna come up from the Delray Beach area of Florida. She visited with local family members as well as her classmates of 60 years ago.
There was no set time limit to the afternoon and as luck would have it, we enjoyed the comforts of the main dining area until almost 5 PM.
Thirty-three 33 people meeting as family with 4 spouses joining in and appreciating the camaraderie of the day.
As all were leaving, the consensus was we could not wait another 10 years to gather again. I made the list of names I used for this assembly available for the group as there is no guarantee that the same group that organized this gathering would be able to do it a few short years down the road.
Afterall, when one looks at the photos from our 50th, time has taken many of us, and even on this day of smiles, in another part of the state was the celebration of life for one of our clasmates.
