Jim, I'm envious!  Lunching with Ms Futorian!  I'm glad you and she discussed her joining the Forum, look forward to her posts .  She was so elegant and beautiful in those days, I'm thinking she has maintained her classiness !   Thanks for pursuing this reunion for all of us who were lucky enough to be in her classes.  Hope she stays in touch!

Will---actually Mr. amd Mrs. Moore came to our 50th Reunion in 2013.  Both seemed to be doing quite well.  They sat by Larry Toy, who might be able to add more information about them.

Lynne, thanks for those great updates. I agree with you that we had some very special teachers at Rich at that time.

A little more on the Moores. When we went down for our tour of PF and Rich at the start of the reunion, I had called our old family friends, Aaron (Doc) and Vivian Gerber, who still live in their same house on Osage, just below our old house on Oakwood, to see whether we could drop by to visit. Viv (as sharp as a tack in her 90's) immediately suggested that she invite Stan and Jan Moore, who still live on Osage, just two blocks away. After our visit, I asked whether Stan and Jan could come to the reunion banquet, which they, to the delight of many of their old students, did!

A couple of months later, they visited us in California as part of a trip visiting their son, who lives in Marin County, not too far from us.

I was one of a small number of our class that had the priviledge of having both Stan (Western Civ) and Jan (when she was still Swanson) (math seminar) as teachers. They are both in their '80's and doing well. We are on their Christmas letter list now and read about their travels and children and grandchildren. They said they would like to move from PF, particularly to Northern Cal, but the housing values in PF are too low to make the transition out.

Thanks, Larry.  Let's see -- June 1963.  It's My Party, You Can't Sit Down and, best of all, The Crystals singing Da Doo Ron Ron.  Not too shabby.  (Let's not talk about Bobby Vinton and Lou Christie, one of the finest hairdressers the City of Pittsburgh ever knew.)

Just wondering, did anyone else in our class have polio? Deb

Lorrie Gifford (Burke)

I did.....when I was five, I had bulbar polio.  I was in the hospital for a month and couldn't swallow and lost the ability to speak.  (My husband would be incredulous at the loss of speech part!!). I guess that I have made up for lost time!

Fellow Classmates:

The Park Forest Historical Society is selling a DVD titled "Remembering Rich East".  Their newsletter dated February 27, 2022, contains the following paragraph:

"It can be ordered via the website, www.parkforesthistory.org by clicking on the "Donate" button and paying $24.83 through PayPal.  Be sure to indicate the donation is for a 'RE DVD'.  You can also mail a check for $24.83 to 'Park Forest Historical Society' and mail to us at 227 Monee Road, Park Forest, IL 60466.  Be sure to include your name and mailing address.....We hired a photographer to go into the school with us in May 2020 to preserve images of the interior and exterior.  More than 900 photographs and some video were taken.  Jane Nicoll scanned early photos and brochures from the collection, and scans from the scrapbooks of Arnold DeLuca were included showing Prom Train articles, photos and more.  We added a few versions of the Loyalty and Fight Songs.  We hope you order one to enjoy."

The DVD is about 20 minutes in length.  Obviously, the videos of the inside are recent and there have been a lot of changes to the interior since we were in school.  I recognized very few of the video images.  (WARNING:  Watching this video may make you feel really really old - viewer discretion advised).  Although there were newspaper articles, the print was too small to read.  Nevertheless, I personally found the DVD to be somewhat nostalgic, especially the rendition of the Loyalty Song, sung by the Class of 1967 Reunion Choir.
