From Mr. Tom Ham Monsieur Jambon

Thanks so much for inviting me to your reunion. You all did a great job organizing it and you're to be congratulated! I was thrilled to see so many of you from the early days of my career. After all, you guys are the ones who broke me in, and you seem to have done a good job! I taught at PCS for 40 years!

Thanks for the memories!

Grosses bises, Tom Ham

Thank you Marcia and Martha for putting this thing together. What a great week-end it was for me, and I'm thankful you let me be a part of it.I'd enjoy hearing from anyone who wants to drop a line. I'm at gldnkngt@comcast.net . I look forward to our next. Bill Harrison

From Steve Weitzman

Sent Friday, July 25

While trying to figure out how to post something on the blog and not having much luck, I noticed you did it for me the other day in posting the email I sent you. Thanks for that.

I've always done as much in my life as possible without using computers, even running two NY nightclubs at once, promoting 250 concerts a year. Which means I've got the computer skills of an 8-year old (but I still managed to get everything done somehow). I even still have the Royal manual (!) typewriter I used to write music articles for nearly 20 years before I stopped doing that sort of stuff to become a concert promoter. By the way, anyone can have my email address, since I know I didn't mention that to you before: steveweitzman10@hotmail.com.

I thought this accompanying photo for the blog, taken in the Fall of 1982 of me presenting a trophy to a then 23 year old Magic Johnson of the Lakers might be a fun one for people to see. The logical question is why in heck would I be giving Magic a trophy for anything, and the quick answer is that I invented the statistical rating system back then that the National Basketball Association still uses to rate players (it's now called the Schick Pivotal Player Award after they decided to sponsor it the following year). The Lakers arranged for me to give Magic that first trophy for winning it in '82, and since that was before they had Schick as the sponsor, I made the presentation in their locker room before a Nets game. The photographer's flash was a bit weak so the pics came out a little dark. For years, my mother had that photo above the TV in the living room and when guests would come over to their house, she'd point to it and say, "Those are my two sons." Funny woman. Our ace Potsdam High basketball star Bob Sharlow will probably enjoy the pic. That was definitely a fun day. Even a die-hard Celtic fan (and Laker-hater) like me got a kick out hanging out with Magic Johnson for a bit and giving him his trophy. He was very cool - and EXTREMELY pleased when I told him he beat out Larry Bird (his arch-rival) for the award.

Anyway, have a great weekend everybody and sorry I can't be there.

Best, Steve Weitzman

From Sue Brockway Corwine

Thanks to Martha and Marcia for their hard work and dedication to their classmates in bringing us a great reunion!! I enjoyed reconnecting with everyone! We really have not changed that much - maybe a few gray hairs, a few pounds, and hopefully more sense than we had in high school! I am at Higley all summer - feel free to give me a call or stop by. My email address is smcorwine@aol.com - would love to hear from fellow sandstoners!

From Candi LaCoss Deon

Candi LaCoss Deon here! I have made every reunion so far. I been married to Donald for 38 years this October. I have three sons. Michael is married and expecting his first child (son Christopher). Mark is a disabled vet and is continuing his education. He has a son Alexander Fremont Via-Deon. A big name for a two year old. I have helped in scouting and had a small ceramic painting class. I stopped when I was diagnoised with breast cancer. I am a two and half year survivor.

I had an awesome time at the reunion. It was good to see everyone and learn about what they are up to. I commend both Martha H. and Marcia B. as well as John L. and everyone else that helped to make it an enjoyable evening. The sad part was remembering those of us who are not with us now.

My mailing address is 18 Baldwin Ave Norwood NY 13668 and my e-mail when it works is deond1@northnet.org
