Dear SVSHS ‘64 classmates,
Many of you likely have been wondering about the status of a reunion. First, we appreciate the response to the survey that you provided. As we evaluated the responses, we realized that replies came from only about 40 folks. It was also evident that, although there was clustering of data, there was not overwhelming consensus on time of year and length of the reunion. It was also apparent that many of you who live or vacation near other classmates visit with each other periodically, if not regularly.
To the extent there was a consensus, it focused on an event in either Rockland County or Bergen County, as all of our reunions have been. However, preliminary inquiries regarding possible venues resulted in the realization that many dates in the time frames respondents preferred were not available and were quite expensive (in terms of transportation/room rates for out of towners and food/entertainment for everybody) for the kind of function most of the respondents preferred. Finally, at least some classmates, including some on the committee believe that our very successful 50th Reunion with its large attendance (including Dr. Sugarman) was a very fitting final reunion.
As a result, the committee agreed to abandon our efforts to plan a 60th reunion.
Although we realize that this is disappointing to many, we hope everyone understands the decision given the information conveyed by our classmates. But, most importantly, we hope and expect that everyone continues to engage with each other as we have over the years. We also hope everyone enjoys good health and stays safe.
Warmly,
Jack, Sue, Vic, Paul, Patti, Buzz, Diane, Rich
