Sunday 10/24/99, from Ken Roseman, kenroseman@earthlink.net:

REPHS Class of '69 30th reunion: The "so fine" class of '69 celebrated its 30th reunion at
the "Doubletree Hotel" in Rockville on October 15. Over 50 class-mates attended and
everyone had a great time relaxing and talking with old (and new) friends. What was
remarkable was that most of the people present had not been at the 25th reunion, so the
group was almost completely different this time around. We were pleased to have Marti
Dillon ('78), a pipe band alumna, perform during our brief memorial service. In full regalia,
Ms. Dillon played "Amazing Grace" and then class president Andy Johnston read the
names of deceased class-mates. After that, Ms. Dillon played our alma mater song. Very
appropriate. On a lighter note, "the one and only currently active Robert E. Peary High
School cheerleader" popped up to award prizes (navy blue t-shirts with "Peary Huskies" on
the front and "so fine 69" on the back) for the several contest winners. Robert Blasco, who
came all the way from Juneau, Alaska was the hands down winner for "travelled furthest"
(male). Suzanne Mazzelli (Weinberg), presently living in Del Mar, California got the nod for
"travelled furthest" (female). Grandparents Andy Johnston and Kathleen Everett and Julio
Gonzalez also received prizes. Another t-shirt went to Patricia Newman who received the
consensus vote for "least changed" from her assembled class-mates. I would like to thank
Wilma Houser Yost ('69), David Alde ('69), Jeff Stewart ('69), Marti Dillon and Diane
Bonnano ('71) for their help in making this reunion a really special event. I'm also pleased
to report that Mr. Burlas visited our reunion; he was in great spirits and enjoyed
reconnecting with former students. 
Building Tour: I'm proud to announce that the "class of
'69" was the first class to be officially invited by "The Hebrew Academy" to tour our old
building. On Sunday, October 17, Mike O'Neill, Thelma Husband (Glowacki), Nancy
Geiglein (Brice), Jean Salzano (Scafidi), myself, and two pipe band alumnae Marti Dillon
(see above) and Lisa Frazier ('77— presently director of the "Rockville High School Pipe
Band") got a good walk-through led by fellow '69 class-mate David Alde. We were there for
around two hours and got to see everything. I was really impressed by the auditorium, which
was built several years after the class of '69 graduated. A real first class facility. Overall,
the building looks really good, "The Hebrew Academy" has done a great renovation job.
(Watch the web site for reunion and building tour photos.)

Class-mates who did not attend our 30th reunion should set aside June 16-18, 2000 now.
That weekend will see the "Peary Community Homecoming 2000," a three day festival for
RPHS alumni and staff. Several members of the "class of '69" are involved in planning this
event: David Alde, Marc Gottleib, and myself and it would be great to see a good turn-out
from our class.
