GARDEN PARTY '06

Inspired by the pictures of the pajama party that Betty Csontos sent in a few months ago, several of the "girls" decided to have one ourselves in New Paltz. That expanded to a barbeque for some of the "local" class of 61 folks within driving distance. I'm not sure how it happened, but the little summer barbeque had people coming in from New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Virginia, Arizona, and California. It was the highlight of my summer! See our new link "Garden Party". Thanks to Steve Weissman for asking about Laura Allen. That's when we discovered she was summering in New York only four hours from here. It rained most of the weekend but that never dampened our spirit. Click on the picture below for the theme song for this party!

Pat and Jeanie Pandolfi with Joe Garofalo	Marcy, Pat and Jeanie Pandolfi (LMHS class of 65) at P and G's Restaurant Sunday night. Jeanie is a New Paltz alumnus who was visiting her old haunts while here. She has not been back since 1969 and was caught up in the nostalgia.
The hat is a gift from Brad Scott. The sheriff's badge, also from Brad, is supposed to show who's "in charge".	Charlotte Carr, who also lives in New Paltz, tells me, "This town's not big enough for both of us!"
Russ Mulroy picked out the music that was part of our past.	The rain stopped and some braved the wet grass and lawn chairs.
Charlotte Carr and husband Ed Kramer Thank you Ed for being our barbeque chef!	Sandra Findlay and Ed Thomas Ed graduated from Division Avenue HS but went to Wisdom Lane School with Sandra and others in our class.
Brad Scott provided the CD and all his 50's oldies for our music background.	Pat Pandolfi added a touch of elegance to the party with this panther arrangement. How she ever found a panther is beyond me.
Irene Murphy directs Jerry as he backs into my driveway. Tom calls the RV Murphy's mansion on wheels.	Celeste Vives, Marcy McNally
