Spouse’s name: Judy
Children:Chad (33) Jody (32) Martin (26) John (23) 2 of mine and 2 of hers-great kids all plus 2 ½ grandchildren and prospects for more if we live long enough.
Occupation: I spent most of my working life as an electrical contractor in the Indianapolis area. Since the entrepreneurial spirit left my body, several years ago, I am finishing up my working life teaching an electrical apprenticeship type program at Kaplan College and enjoying it very much.
Education: DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. It brought me here and I have been a very happy and satisfied small town and country dwelling Hoosier ever since. It was quite a change from Garden City and the NY area. My son John recently became the fourth generation to graduate from DePauw in our family.
Since graduating from Garden City High School in 1964:
I spent a year between my sophomore and junior years in college as a VISTA volunteer living on the Navajo Indian reservation in northern Arizona; a life altering experience. After college I worked as a community organizer until Tricky Dick (remember him?) sent Donald Rumsfeld (we all remember him) to shut down the “War on Poverty”. After that I was a banker for a few years but was not the corporate type. So, my wife and I started an electrical contracting business and I got to do the work I love best for 30 years and run my own life and be with my children as they grew up. As I mentioned, I am now teaching electrical work and finding that to be a very satisfying way to spend my time while waiting for Medicare. I am profoundly grateful for all of those opportunities.
I have also been a volunteer fireman and EMT for all those years; work with Habitat for Humanity; serve on a couple of local governing boards of NFP’s, and am active in my church. We live on some acreage out in the country (I actually live in an old one room red brick schoolhouse, circa 1897-very cute) so there is always work to do on the “estate”.
We live just 7 miles south of I-70 two exits west of Indianapolis- the Crossroads of America. If any of you are crossing the fruited plain and want to stop for a visit, a meal or to spend the night, we would be glad to show you some “Hoosier Hospitality”
Parting thought: As I have gone through life, I have realized increasingly, what a remarkable blessing it was to all of us to grow up in the protected environment that we did, and attend such a premier high school as GCHS. When I left home I knew I had gone to a “pretty good” high school but I know now that it was EXCEPTIONAL. A wonderful building; but most of all the teachers. Most of what I know about history, math and English is thanks to my high school education. I studied other stuff in college (or not). As I have started to teach, I recall even more frequently, appreciatively and fondly the instructors I had at GC High School
We should also recall the taxes that our parents paid and the quality that they demanded for their children and make sure we do the same for ours and our grandchildren. If America is to remain as a competitive and powerful nation we must equip our kids to be able to function in the new world alignment of opportunities.
I won’t make the 45th as I am still afflicted with work, but look forward to seeing many old friends at our 50th.

Children:-
Occupation: Managing Director, Middleton & Gendron, Inc. (Brand Communications)
Education: BS, University of Maryland; MBA, Long Island University
Since graduating from Garden City High School in 1964:
Upon graduating from Garden City, my parents and I decided that a year in prep school (Worcester Academy) would be time well spent before heading off to college. I needed to develop a more balanced approach to athletics and academia -- something which had somehow eluded me in high school. It was a great decision. I spent a year shaping a new perspective about what was important in my life. That year, which helped guide many of my business and personal decisions, was also very humbling. I had to play a football game against Frank Quayle and his prep school team, Cheshire Academy. They killed us. I think it was Frank’s way of getting back at me for breaking his hand when we played freshman football (see Frank’s write-up for details). Note to Frank: I am sorry about the hand, but it’s nice to know that because of the “accident,” I was part of the reason you turned into such a great athlete.
I ended up at the University of Maryland where I played sports, but was also a member of the debating society, wrote for both the school newspaper and The Washington Post and was involved in school/state politics (after meeting with Spiro Agnew, then Governor of Maryland, to talk about a school funding issue, he called my delegation of students some choice words and had us escorted out of his state capitol office). Despite his efforts to ignore us, we initiated a major statewide media and marketing effort to get the funds we needed to address overcrowded classrooms and low teachers’ salaries. One month before graduation, I met this incredible woman in the library. Yvonne and I couldn’t have been more different. She was a Phi Beta Kappa beauty queen who spent most of her life in Europe and spoke three languages, and I was everything but. I guess opposites do attract as we married two years later and moved to Long Island.
I worked as a salesman for Procter & Gamble and went to school at night to get my master’s degree while Yvonne became an editor of a travel publication. I then worked successively for an advertising agency, Colgate-Palmolive and Bristol-Myers Squib. At the latter, I managed various businesses and occasionally ran into Tom Schenck at our corporate offices where he worked for another division of Bristol. Years later, I commuted back to Garden City as the Vice President of Marketing for Avis Rent a Car and then joined a large distilled spirits company in Manhattan running its marketing operation. After helping to sell the company, I started my own marketing and business development company 20 years ago.
Yvonne and I divorced after six years of marriage, having perhaps married too young. Happily, after 14 years apart, we re-married 17 years ago, having never completely lost contact with each other. (We re-connected at the sad occasion of my father’s funeral but my 91-year old mother is thriving in an assisted living facility in East Meadow and causes quite a stir when visited by “good looking” men like Bob Healy). Our re-marriage is the highlight of my life; re-discovering each other and remembering what brought us together in the first place. Love is definitely better the second time around.
Yvonne has her own public relations company which she started 31 years ago. Her first client was a small, unknown motel in Toronto called Four Seasons. She helped “brand” and define the business and introduced it into the United States and the rest of the world. She specializes in global luxury lifestyle products and services and was recently given a lifetime achievement award for her contributions to the industry. Yvonne and I combined our businesses and now spend too much time at work. We either work together on various projects or I work independently of her with my brother Craig (class of 1961 and recently retired corporate Vice Chairman of Young & Rubicam Brands.) I have had the opportunity to work with both mature and start-up companies in industries such as: consumer packaged goods, technology, new media, entertainment, sports, education, food, distilled spirits, and hospitality. The level of activity and the diversity of projects keep me interested, engaged and always learning something new. I can’t imagine ever retiring.
Yvonne and I have traveled the world together enjoying great adventures: climbing Machu Picchu in Peru, walking on the Great Wall of China and taking pictures of African wildlife during a safari. We are always planning our next trip. At home, we enjoy all the pleasures (and some inconveniences) of living in Manhattan (the Upper East Side.) And occasionally, we get to see good friends and former classmates such as Bill Kenney, Al Vanasco, Mike Fallon, Fred McGovern, Jim Murphy and Bob Healy, among others.
Parting thought:
A close, caring family, great friends and good health are truly the most important gifts we can ask for in life. The rest is just incidental stuff.

Spouse’s name: divorced

Occupation: EE/adv. sales
Education: EE Lehigh University
Since graduating from Garden City High School in 1964:
I had no idea where I was going when I left GCHS. I mean I knew I had wanted to become an Electrical Engineer since before I was a teenager because I was enormously interested in math and science, especially electricity. Besides, this title just sounded as if it fit me. I would be happy to be called that. And I had already been anticipating packing off to Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, where I had been accepted, without any clear idea of what mysterious lifestyle awaited me.
Cultural shock as I was soon to learn. Close friends with a diverse window into the world outside Garden City, along with a stiffer dose of courses more laden with tough math and science than I was interested in. I mean, enough is enough! Well I stumbled along the way, breaking the rhythm with mandatory time outs at NY Institute of Technology and Hofstra while living at home. Mom was not pleased! But I was determined to graduate from Lehigh so as not to face defeat. I did go back and proudly earned my EE degree, graduating only one year late.
Job recruiter from Westinghouse listened to me describe what I liked to do and told me it sounded like I should be a Field Service Representative! Who knew? I was happy driving around the east half of Pennsylvania in my company car with a trunk full of tools working on equipment in power plants, high speed trains, steel mills, nuclear power plants, prisons, manufacturing facilities, and any other electrical equipment my boss could find for the next 8 ½ years.
I loved owning my very own house when I was 25 (big DIY’er!), but then after a few more years, newly single and living in a suburban development in PA in the seventies proved to be a lonely life. And by now the EE job was looking limited for long term possibilities or growth. Then I found I wanted work with a more people-oriented slant, and my Dad was eager to train me to sell advertising with him in NYC. I made the move and completely enjoyed all the organizational and personal skills that it took to travel around the country selling advertising to ad agencies and major US companies; even got to travel to Europe for a few years doing this. It was also a real treat to work with my father for the ten years before he retired. This presented an opportunity to learn about my father as an adult after being a successful EE rather than starting to work for him as a fresh graduate. I came to my father’s business knowing I had already been successful on my own, so as not to doubt whether I could have done well without my father’s help.
I tremendously enjoyed learning, and then becoming successful in a second career. Along the way I bought a co-op apartment on W67 St in Manhattan and became involved in managing the building, especially the technical side of it. So I got to keep my hand in many things mechanical. It’s just really a big house! (60 apartments in my building)
All the business travel frequent flyer miles fueled my recreational travel during the 24 years of my second job. I’d fly somewhere on the cheap, rent a car and explore places like South Africa, Namibia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Alaska, and the enchanting U.K., France, Italy and Germany.
Then in 1997 the company that my father and I had worked for was bought out by a really big corporation, and they worked their magic to alienate employees, drive down business, and craftily decrease compensation over the next five years I stayed there. Marvels! I did really enjoy watching all that happen though, as I liken it to taking my MBA in another facet of corporate life for free. Then in 2002, when we were all 55, I calculated that I could make it if I quit. All that math all those years ago did still come in handy!
So many things unfolded in such a lucky manner for me because the apartment next to mine went up for sale and I bought it and connected the two into one. I spend my time donating a lot of time to improving all the engineering of my building constantly, and then doing tons of finish work on my own apartment. Doing exactly what you choose when you want is a really liberating feeling compared to having to be in the office five days a week at 8:30 am.
With our new-found freedom each summer for the last six years my girlfriend and I jump into our fully packed car (computers, refrigerator, GPS, and clothes for all seasons) and slowly take our time meandering along a different route across the US to California and back. We’ve dropped down to Florida first, taken the river route along the Rio Grande at the bottom of Texas, taken the ferry up to Nova Scotia and then halfway across Canada, and thru the middle of the heartland of America, depending upon which year you ask about. Try for a different set of roads each time, and the round trip usually takes more than one month, and less than two. We’ve developed our favorite places across the country and discovered motel rates are really cheap in the south in the summertime. Fantastic rates with great swimming pools in Phoenix in July!
It should be no surprise that this trip takes the wanderlust out of us for the rest of the year. When we get home after 45 days on the road, we’re happy to sit for a long while. Hence we’ve not set foot on a plane since 2004, and don’t miss any of the hassle there.
Oh yeah, I have one brother (Scott, class of ’69) who lives on the Eastside (of Manhattan) and we talk on the phone many times each week, remembering our folks, our childhood, and sorting out the problems of the world. He’s still in sales himself, so he allows me to help him strategize. Feels good to not completely back out of the business world.
Mostly now I enjoy almost whatever I’m doing. Who could ask for anything more?
Parting thoughts: Did I mention that I have passions such as baking professional desserts, doing work on my car, and hanging out national parks?
Never ever liked a single sport (and don’t know the rules to any of them) except wrestling. Undistinguished in HS wrestling, but I sure enjoyed going to matches at Lehigh watching our national champions rule.

Spouse’s name: Cathy Hitchcock
Children: Emily 40, Hilary Ancona 38, and Marie Dufore 34
Occupation: Retired
Education: BA Architecture at Princeton and First Professional Degree at Syracuse University
Hobbies: Painting, Reading, Small Projects, Gardening
Since Graduation from High School
In my freshman year at Princeton, I discovered that physics was a lot harder than I had anticipated and found that I really enjoyed architecture. My father’s pronouncement that I was not cut out to be an architect immediately settled the question and I had a ball my entire architectural/engineering career, first in private practice and then for 29 years at Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Nance Dieckman and I were married after our junior years and had three great children, Emily, Hilary and Marie. We moved to Syracuse where I obtained a graduate degree in architecture and obtained my license. Syracuse is very cold, gets over 10 feet of snow a year and is mostly gray. People there actually learn to appreciate the different shades of gray. But it was nevertheless a wonderful place to live and raise kids. We had a small cuckoo clock style summer house in the Thousand Islands to make the best of the short but splendid summers.
On a hunch during a building slump in 1977, I took a job as a contract draftsman at Bristol and four years later was running the company’s largest ever project, a factory near Paris. I went on to become a Senior Director of Engineering and designed and built other factories, laboratories, and offices in England, Wales, France, Japan, Ecuador, Mexico, Canada, and even Pakistan. Oh yes, and a bunch in the United States and Puerto Rico as well.
Nance and I separated and I moved to Princeton NJ in 1990 following a Bristol-Myers merger with NJ-based Squibb. We subsequently divorced and in 1993 I married Cathy Hitchcock, a wonderful woman with whom I have found a great deal of happiness. Late in her career, Cathy left a position in QA to get a Masters in Library Science. Now retired, her interests are reading, quilting, cooking, and gardening.
Following bouts with cancer and chemo in 1999 and 2004, I decided to retire in 2006 and enjoy life a little more. We built a summer house on a lake in the Adirondack Mountains and moved to Connecticut where my three daughters and now two grandchildren live. Cathy and I kayak, hike, and entertain family and friends in the Adirondacks. I have taken up oil and acrylic painting and enjoy gardening and house projects and, of course, the children and grandchildren are a constant source of joy.
Daughter Emily has worked in hospitals as both a nurse and in IT and is now running a rehabilitation wing in a Hartford hospital. Hilary has a Yale faculty position in a program to help children through trauma. She is a jolly mother of two delightful and happy children. Marie got a law degree but is now concentrating on having her first child sometime in early July.
I had a great time in high school and mostly since. It will be great to see old classmates at the reunion and catch up.

Occupation: retired
Education: BA in English from Hofstra U and MA in education.
Since graduating from Garden City High School in 1964:
I got my degree in English and then got married in 1968 to Robert, a brilliant mathematician who was also a practical businessman. We had a good and busy life together but always we put our children first. Bob started his career as a computer consultant for Arthur Andersen Consulting and through many iterations started his own application development company which also did management consulting(Bob’s 2ND masters from NYU is in this field).I worked for him and enjoyed the experience. We bought our 2ND home in Southampton in 1998 and spent the summers there. Now that I am a widow I still spend my summers in our home in Southampton as it is a lure for my children as well as my own siblings. You are never alone when you have a 7 bedroom, 4 bath house in the Hamptons and I like it that way . Suzanne is an ED for a major investment bank and Georgie is an Art Gallery owner. So you could say one daughter is a patron of the Arts and the other is a purveyor of Art. I have a small pied a Terre in Hoboken so I can drop in on the NY art scene as interested. I have a son who is a private investor and finally 5 beagles that provide comic relief
· Parting thought:
My husband was always the voice of reason and took a measured approach to everything. Now that he’s gone God only knows what scheme will pop into my head and of course will be pursued with a vengeance; wish he had thrown caution to the winds and done something crazy before he died of cancer. Carpe Diem

Spouse’s name: Larry
Children: Daughter – Trista, Step-Daughter - Vangi
Occupation: Executive Consultant
Education: Washington College – BA - Philosophy
Hobbies/pastimes: Travelling, Exploring Ghost Towns, Playing the Organ, Gardening
Since graduating from Garden City High School in 1964:
I was fortunate enough to go to a small liberal arts college in Chestertown, Maryland – small enough where you knew every student (one of which was our high classmate, Sue Scheulen). After graduation I taught fourth grade in Charles City, Maryland and married John Heinefield. John had graduated from WC with me and was in the Army language school in Monterey, California. As an Arabic translator he was assigned to Kagnew Station in Ethiopia, where we lived for two years and welcomed our daughter, Trista, into the world. After his tour ended we lived in Garden City for six years, but unfortunately in 1978 we divorced.
I decided that a big life-change was in store, so I moved to the Ft. Lauderdale area of Florida and went to work for Broward County as a Contracts Manager for the Purchasing Division. Soon after joining the County, they went out to bid for a new financial system and I was selected to lead the Purchasing and Inventory implementation. My career changed dramatically at this point and computers became my passion.
In 1984 I met and married Larry Thomson, who was the head of Broward’s Mass Transit Department. That summer he took me to the desert southwest on vacation, which led to our dream of living there. When we celebrated the last graduation in 1994 (Trista’s Masters at FSU), we decided to up and move to St. George, Utah. Larry went to work for Roger Penske’s Engineering Division of Detroit Diesel Corporation and I went to work for AMS (the software company that implemented the financial system for Broward County). Larry and I now had full-time travel jobs, but our weekends were filled with taking “another dirt road” out of St. George to see where it led. If you have never travelled to southern Utah, I encourage you to see this beautiful paradise – five national parks across the southern part of the state – great for hiking, mountain biking, and scenery that is simply breathtaking. During our stay in Utah we had tons of guests, who came to see what had lured us out west – one of which was Jane Chinnici – another GC High classmate. We became unofficial southwest Utah tour guides and ambassadors for the Chamber of Commerce.
After four and a half years in paradise, Larry’s job changed and we moved to Chicago. We fondly refer to this as “the four year sentence”. While Chicago is a great town, the weather was not for us. Larry retired in 2002 and we returned to Florida – the Gulf Coast this time.
In the 25 years we have been married, we have travelled to all 50 states. People always ask what your favorite state is. While we’ve collected memories, stories, and tons of photos from each state, Utah will always be first in our hearts.
During the past 15 years working for AMS (now CGI), I have been a business analyst and software procurement designer for State and Local Governments throughout the country. I won’t be able to attend the reunion this year, as June 27th is conversion weekend on my current project and I’ll be in southern California bringing up the new financial system. I think I’d like to work on one more project before I retire in two years or so.
Parting Thought: Have a wonderful time at the reunion. Take the time to enjoy our beautiful country – share the experience with your loved ones – we truly have something special to experience.
