Woodrow Wilson Class of '77 Virtual Reunion

Thanksgiving Weekend mini-reunion, anyone??

2009-10-15T14:14:00.000-07:00

Joe Favoroso writes: "This might be a good time to get our next Class of '77 gathering off the ground. A couple weeks ago, some of us had mentioned that we should do something around the Holidays. I thought that Saturday evening on Thanksgiving weekend November 28th would be a convenient time to gather. I figured that many people travel from all over to spend time with their families, and may end up in the Levittown area.
As far as where, we thought that Bailey's Bar & Grille (at 5 points - Emilie Rd) would be a good convenient place to meet. It's very spacious, good food, music, live entertainment, and reasonably priced drinks. I guess for now, we can shoot for around 7 p.m. This time will be subject to change if necessary.
If you're able to attend, please notify myself or Bob Benny on our Facebook wall or e-mail me at djets59@hotmail.com, or Bob Bennie atwwhsclassof77@yahoo.com. Hope to see you all there.

35th Reunion: It's not the end of the world... or is it?

2009-10-04T05:35:00.000-07:00

As we look forward to our 35th class reunion in the year 2012 -- unless the soothsayers are right and we will instead face the end of the world -- let's try to rally as many of our classmates as we can for our next gathering. Bob Bennie has been working to create a presence of Facebook. If you haven't found us yet, here's a link: WW77 on FACEBOOK

TOP 10 Lamest Excuses For
Skipping Your 30th Reunion
(and snappy rebuttals):

10. I'm in denial that it's been that long and I am that old
(It has been and you are, but so what? On the bright side, you're still alive and this is the best life you're going to have, so get over it and participate)
9. I've skipped all the others; why should this be any different?
(Because you're older and wiser, and you might make an unexpected social or business connection).
8. I can't think of anyone I want to see
(Maybe your memory is failing, but that's all right. We'll remind you of why reuniting with old classmates is cool).
7. I can't afford the ticket price.
A measely 40 bucks? Just cut back on beer, cigarettes and Dunkin Donuts for a week and you're all set.)
6. I'm too fat.
(How fat is too fat? Honest, it really doesn't matter to anyone but you.)
5. I will be on vacation.
(That's tricky, but where there's a will there's a way to adjust your schedule. Since it's a weekend of events, you don't have to do it all.)
4. But that's my night to watch "Kyle XY," "National Bingo" and "20/20."
(Get a life -- and a TiVO.)
3. I don't have anything to wear.
(There's no dress code. Hawaiian shirt? No problem. Toga? If you must. Hey, come in drag if you want. Just come.)
2. I'm not a drinker or a dancer or a small-talker.
(Then you will be in charge of taking embarrassing photos of the rest of us drinking too much and dancing on the tables.)
1. What if it's no fun?
(Then you can be in charge of our 35th reunion!)

Lost and Found

Send your school-days memories of Brian Gregg

2007-04-19T09:19:00.000-07:00

Received a note this morning from Brian Gregg's mom, Nancy Gregg, who is planning to attend our reunion/benefit.
It would be great if we could collect some memories of Brian from his school days and put them together for his parents.
If you have some thoughts, jot them down and email them to xuodibor@gmail.com.
She mentioned another project in the works. You can link here for information about a children's book, "Cop Buddy" to be published this summer, about a day in the life of Brian on his beat.

Who are you calling 'Mulligan'??

Thanks to Jim Ferland for the following arrangements for Friday morning Brian S. Gregg Memorial Golf Tournament:
"We're locked in for 8 a.m. shotgun
start at Middletown Country Club with
on-course beverages and lunch and awards
on the patio immediately following the tourney.
Price is $125 per person and I'll be working on
the registration flier this weekend.
If this takes off the way I think, we may need to block
off room for classmates!" --Jim

So far plans are on for our 30th reunion, set for Aug. 10, 2007, at the Brookside Manor in Feasterville (click here).
This year we are planning to honor class historian Brian Gregg, who was killed Sept. 29, 2005 while on duty as a Newtown Borough police officer.
Our hope is to raise some money for his family, wife Kella and son Kyle, who is 7.
