2011 BHHS
Class of ’59
70th Birthday Party (Pictures below)
The magic of good friends
and fellowship was alive the weekend of August 19, 2010! The
BHHS Class of ‘59 celebrated turning 70 this year with joy,
laughter and dancing! We proved we are ageless!
The turn out was amazing and we were excited to have
representatives of several classes from BHHS and St. John’s
Catholic in attendance! It was truly a special weekend! We had
folks who hadn’t been back since the 26th Reunion and some who
had never been back!
We enjoyed our time at the Carousel, Kilwin’s, Pauly’s and, most
especially, Rich and Diane’s for good food, good music and
dancing!
Thanks so much for your participation and interest. We have a
remarkably special class that always seems to enjoy each other’s
company. It is my understanding that John Woodford is working
toward organizing another get together 2012! Anyone wishing to
help John with planning and set up, please contact him at:

2010 Mini-Reunion
Our first Mini-Reunion held August
20-22, 2010, was a
huge success! Friday night was well attended and held at
Diane & Rich Himes’ home. Guests enjoyed lots of social
time around a huge bonfire. Background and dancing music
provided by Rich’s band and singer, Linda rocked the place!
All the 50’s hits were enjoyed by dancers and on-lookers
alike.
Rain on Saturday morning kept us from enjoying the beach,
but by 4pm everyone was ready for a great dinner at Roxy’s.
The food was good, the jukebox music was great and time
spent with our longtime friends was enjoyable!
After dinner at Roxy’s, some of us enjoyed riding the
Stalking Tiger on the Carousel, taking photos, having ice
cream and walking the beach. It was a beautiful night with
a magical full moon and the best friends ever!
A small group arrived early Sunday morning at Jean Klock
Park for a picture postcard setting and more time with
friends.
Thanks to all classmates, local and out-of-towners, for
making this weekend a huge success!!!
Some comments from classmates:
“It was a fabulous weekend! It seemed like everyone
who
attended had a wonderful time. The sock hop was a huge
success. Many kudos to Rich Himes for hosting it. His band
was fantastic and the bonfire was magnificent! Have I used
enough superlative adjectives yet?” Shirley Sliter Kline
“I would favor keeping the group small but trying to
encourage more just 59er’s to attend. There was a large
group of locals that should have, but did not attend for
whatever reasons. I think we should work on getting more
of them to attend. Maybe a personal call or email contact
from those that did attend to those that did not, may help.” Jerry Mann
“I enjoyed seeing the people from the past even though
some showed up with faces I didn't recognize....” Don Payne
“I didn't attend the Friday night get-together (wish I had). I
really enjoyed our talk outside of the mall and the time
spent in Roxy's.” Sandy Sweeney Page
