L.M.H.S. Honor Roll

Max Pozin was kind enough to forward a web site address that he received from our classmate, Pat Keating. It is an honor roll of those who have passed on. I was amazed at the number of our classmates that are gone. So please see http://www.nostalgictimewarp.com/memory.html

Please note this correction from Mike Claps:  Max:  My Brother Tom Claps who was teaching in LMHS the time before and after we graduated in ’59 is listed as deceased. Correction: Brother TC is alive and well at 80 years old. I assume we are all around 70 and hoping we all stay healthy…too many of our classmates have gone. Happy New Year.  MC

Holiday Season Again, December 2011

I have not been back to Levittown in December for many years. I wonder if many people still decorate the outsides of their homes as they did in the 50′s when electric rates were sill affordable.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Chanukah (December 20-28), a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I know, I should have said Happy Holidays, but I refuse to be PC.

LevittownMemorial.Org Is Available For Non-Profit Use by Other LMHS Alumni Groups

The current LevittownMemorial.Org site is used by the classes of 1954 through 1959. The site is barely used and the site audience ranges in age from 69 to 75/76. Rather than just close the site down and lose the domain name to the general public, we are offering both the site and the domain name to authorized alumni groups from Levittown Memorial High School for their exclusive, not-for-profit usage.

There will be no charge for the site or the domain name. We would just like to see other classes have the usage of the site. Hopefully, several classes can get together and utilize the site the same as we have in years past.

Is It Time To Close The Website?

There has been very little input from the alumni of 54 through 59 this calendar year.

Perhaps it is time to pass this on to the classes of the 60′s (if there is any interest) or just let it fade away. I need to hear from you so that I don’t make a descision on my own. I can keep this site going indefinitely but need to know that there is a reason to keep it going.

If I don’t hear anything by June 30, 2011 I will probably shut it down and make the domain name (LevittownMemorial.Org) available to the Levittown Historical Society or one of the other groups from Levittown Memorial that is maintaining a web site.

EARLY LEVITTOWN AND BEYOND

This is an interesting blog maintained by Frank Barning and friends from Division Avenue High School (Class of 60 I beleive) Much of the material covers the same time frame as our high school days. So, when time permits, visit Early Levittown and Beyond.

Levittown Holiday Memories

Last minute shopping at May’s on the Turnpike. Getting in the car after the sun went down to look at the most decorated houses in the area (can’t imagine what there electric bill would be today). Being able to say Happy Hanukkah to your Jewish friends and Merry Christmas to your Christian friends and never feeling like you were politically incorrect. Mid-Night mass at St. Bernard’s on Christmas Eve. Being off between Christmas and New Year’s.

So, Happy Hanukkah (already over), Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
