Hello Janice, John Eberwine here from '67 I've been reaching out to as many people as I remember to try to get a crowd to the June 3rd event at the shore. I saw you on Gary Portnoy's page so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm putting together a group email so that I can do a broadcast to everyone to ask them to go, and remind them to seek out friends, etc. I've got Sue Bell-Rheinstatadter from '66 going. She and I were in a few of the plays that Mr. Klein wrote and directed. So if you are going I hope you can round up friends. I'm looking at both '66 and 67'. Hope to hear from you.

Hi Anna, John Eberwine here. I am contacting as many classmates as possible from '66 and '67 for the June 3rd reunion at the shore. I know you have many friends so maybe we can work together to get a good crowd. I'm putting a group email list together so I can do a blast whenever we have new information. My cell 609-703-3172 email vietvet222@gmail.com Thanks

Hi Sue, If Mastbaum has the reunion at the shore this year, will you go? John Eberwine 609-703-3172 my email vietvet222@gmail.com

Hi Anna, John Eberwine here. If the is a reunion at the shore this year, I'm trying to get some of the folks from 67 and some I know from 66 to go. Will you be in? I sent a message to Bobby McGee. Don't know if you knew Tom Schneider has passed. Let me know. I'm going to create a group email to send out. My cell 609-703-3172 email vietvet222@gmail.com Thanks

Tom,

Life is so unfair. At the 2019 reunion at the shore, we got together with Bobby McGee and Joe Wolf. It was 52 years and a Vietnam War that got in the way until I saw you three again. And with 2020 covid and 2021 canceled, and me being in a nursing and rehabilitation center from January until September 2022, I was looking forward to seeing you all again this year.

I feel cheated. It took so long for us to see each other and I'm angry with myself that I hadn't tried to catch up with you even before 2019. But there it is again, LIFE gets in the way. Tom, you were one of the good guys at Mastbaum, a true friend and buddy. We had such a great few years, lots of laughs and let's not forget McGee and Wolf!! But I believe you were the glue that kept us together back then. 

Hell, Tom, now the reunions just won't be the same! Yeah I'll see if Bobby and Joe will come this year, and maybe we can search out some others to be there, and we can raise a glass to you and all the good memories.

I miss you, Tom. See if you can save a spot at the table for me when my time comes.

John

1/31/2023 - Hi Sue, I was going to try to get as many as I know to go to the reunion at the shore this year. I should have tried harder to get together after we saw each other at the last reunion. I was in a nursing and rehabilitation center for 9 months in 2022 and I realize if we don't do it now, tomorrow we may not be able. I was going to send a message to a friend Tom Schneider who was at the same reunion in 2019, and I saw his memoriam that he passed away on October 25, 2021 Please try and bring that beautiful daughter with you!

1/31/2023 Hey Bobby, I am planning to attend the reunion at the shore this year and was going to ask you if you think you will go.

Happy Birthday John. Another one has come and gone. Hope you are safe and well. This damn virus has ruined almost everything, glad we got together that one time in WW2019 after 52 years.

Happy Birthday John. Seems like fate is working against us. We just met again after 52 years @ the wildwood 2019 get together. Then they cancel the October reunion and then cancel Wildwood 2020. We have to get together soon, John. Have a great birthday tomorrow.

I was in plays for about 2 1/2 years; Mr. Klein wrote and directed them. My first was in the Spring of 1965 with John Lauriello, Bill Milligan, Marion Ambrose, and Helen Bristow and about 20 more folks that I can not remember. I believe that Darlene was in the play because I remember her last name was very unique, sort of like "clarinet". This was the play where Lauriello was a gangster, Milligan and Ambrose were boxers, Helen Bristow sang a song or 2 with Milligan, and I was one of Lauriello's henchmen. We all had fun and made a ton of memories.

Happy Birthday John, have a good one today. See ya in Wildwood.
