August 3, 2000 Get Together
Some of the " local" members of the class of '47 arranged a little "welcome home" luncheon for two of our classmates who we have not seen since 1947. Joan Pennell Kardel from Tucson, Arizona and Pat Lindsay Shakeshober from Copake, N.Y. were warmly greeted by 24 hastily gathered friends on Thursday August 3rd. The site of the affair was " Fiddleheads" in Closter who could not have treated us nicer. Their hospitality ( and food ) went far beyond what we would have expected them to do. Another welcome arrival was J'Ann Ward Gibbs from Ohio, who also, we have not seen in many a year. It surely a GREAT day for all, even with a few happy tears being shed. ...

Two old friends reunite after 60 Years
On the left is a picture taken in about 1939 of two fellows named Don. In this picture they were a part of a recital of Florence Fredricks's dance school. The one on the left is Don Thomas, who lived on Lyons Place, Westwood and the other is Don Regula, who lived on Lowell Street, Westwood. They went all through school as best friends from Kindergarten in Berkley Ave to graduating together in 1947 from the Third Ave High School. They both continued their schooling and both became medical doctors and pursued their careers in different parts of the country. The picture on the right was taken 60 years later in 1999 when they connected again. At present they are both retired and both living on sizable farms. Don Thomas in Kentucky and Don Regula in New York State. They are, once again, best friends.
