Nice story here: The class of '72's Annie Koff Abramson and Debi McLaughlin

 Cionek were close childhood friends at Robert Seaman Elementary School.

 Following seventh grade, however, Annie's family moved to Arizona (you can

 read about her in the summer 2010 issue of the online newsletter). Last year

 the two reconnected — Annie returned to the East Coast in the mid-'80s —

 and they've gotten together several times.

 Another nice story: Sharon Honig Citrin and Meredith Ringler, both from the

 class of 1970, had their own class reunion two weeks before ours. Sharon lives

 in Connecticut; Meredith in Colorado. They had such a nice time that, on the

 spur of the moment, they decided to come to ours too, with Meredith booking

 a flight just days before the reunion. Sharon, incidentally, is a cantor. That

 morning, she performed at her temple service, hopped in her car, and made

 it down to Jericho in two hours.

 Looking wonderful is Debbie D'Amore Ascari ('72), who lives in Massapequa.

 Teacher's pet? Lynn Goldman

 Mathias ('73), shown here with

 Mr. Gaston D'Amato and Mr.

 Robert Hoffman, has lived in

 Italy and England and now

 divides her time between

 Maryland and Manhattan.

 Paul Gress ('72) and Laura Polo, who attended our last reunion, too.

 Hey, she's got a better attendance record than some of you, and Laura

 didn't even go to JHS.
