FOREWORD
Class of 1964 - Alumni Stories
Some of our lives have taken surprising turns. What person or event sent you down a different path than what you had envisioned while you were growing up, or when you were a young adult, or even older? How have you changed – or stayed the same – compared to your parents’ generation? And why? Did you always know what career path you would follow? How did you know that?
Make your story however long or short as you like. Feel free to attach pertinent photographs. We should share our stories with our children, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren!
Following are the stories of some of our fellow alumni who have submitted them thus far. If you wish to post your story here as well, please contact me, Paulette Getz Bogan - paulettebogan(at)yahoo(dot)com.
As the first baby boomers we have seen many startling changes during the past 70 years. We grew up in the ‘50s and ‘60s – two decades that were so totally different! We ourselves have changed as well. What prompted those changes in us?

To the Class of 1964
To my fellows (Class of ’64)I ask, of these fifty years and more,with what passions were you sustained,with what fashion were your gains,and most satisfying your rewards?What life-long lessons have you learned,with what fulfillment were your yearns,with what blend of conscience your dreams,have the ends justified your meanswithout regret of bridges burned?As mentors, now, and gone the course,what better guidance of vintage sourcemight we to tender youth bequeath,than always seek truth, love, and peace?Charles McIlhaney, Jr.(July 24, 2014)
