Just came across this photo while cleaning out my desk today. . . it is probably about the earliest surviving photo of my first attempts at photography using my Dad's Minolta 35mm. I think that is Alex Bowie with back to camera, Ken MacCrone with hand on hip, and Mr Fliegler I believe coaching.

Oh, what fun to see and talk to everyone. I could have spent another few hours at Carol's, but, alas, we had a babysitter waiting at home! Hope you enjoy the pictures too. (Chris, can you take our family pictures next year?? Your photos are superb!)Best Wishes, Mandy Weir Buoni

Owen, this one has "weathered" better than the football scoreboard. We were all wondering what happened to all of the plaques, records, etc., that were previously posted in the gym. You can see they're now blank, garnet boards (right of the scoreboard)! Love to have seen them!

Hi All,I'm looking forward to our upcoming reunion. It's been great to catch up with people! A lot happens in three decades. Post-reunion I will take the time to type a short synopsis of my life since high school (which will be my first foray in blogging) but for now I just wanted to include a few details about our Friday night pre reunion gathering at the Iron Grill Brewery in Media November

While looking through material for the other blog, I realized that the photo posted below was not the first time I'd photographed the scoreboard at the elementary school field... it looks a little better in this one... about 20 years earlier. Well, scoreboards, like people, start showing signs of age after a while... as time just keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking, into the future... and don't

So, who remembers this slide? Just a week or so after I took this picture it got dismantled and unceremoniously carted off, proving that life and slides are ephemeral... seems like yesterday we were climbing up the chain-link ladder to get to the top, then grabbing the upper edge of the tunnel to slip into the descent... do playgrounds have slides like this anymore? This slide is also here to

And while sharing memories with you all, let me pass on a more recent one, which may jog a few more ancient ones... last night went in to see Stephen Stills play in the Olympia Theatre in Paris... he was GREAT !

Well, while dredging up memories, which is good to do from time to time, I suppose, once every 30 years or so at least, to keep the proverbial shipping channels of the left-brain from getting silted in ; who remembers hanging out on The Vent just below Clothier Tower on a cold winter night ??? It is still blowing warm air ! And who remembers that the Allman Brothers played in Clothier Hall

While in Swarthmore recently, noticed the old scoreboard which served for High School football games is looking a little the worse for wear... looks like it needs to come down and get hung in a museum somewhere before it completely disintegrates.

As members of the reunion committee, we’ve had a great time reconnecting with our classmates, catching up, and sharing old stories and pictures. So…we’re hoping that our blog will give all of us the opportunity to jump in and chat. And, we’re also hoping that you’ll help us encourage our classmates who are “on the fence” to attend our reunion events! All groups have rules and we should have a
