Comment: Looking forward to seeing old friends who made it to the 10th, 20th and 30th reunions, and especially those who will be attending their first. OK, so we have changed a bit in appearance, but think of how much wisdom we have acquired. Right?

Comment:

Boy 1967 was a long time ago!

I married my college sweat heart after graduating in 1971.  45 years and counting.  We have only just begun! 

We have two children.  My daughter is 37 and works in Boston.  My Son is 35 and works in GA. 

My son has given us 3 grand sons.  They are 12, 10 and 4.  The boys and I enjoy going into the deep dark woods looking for dinos.

My daughter has also given us 3 grand children.  Two boys 12 and 10.  We also have our first grand daughter.

Over the years my bride and I have moved 8 times.  We landed in Atlanta and have been here 30 years. 

I am in sales management in the consumer package goods industry.

I look forward to seeing a lot of you August 2017.

John Dasher

Marital status: Committed Relationship
Children: 2
Occupation: "gap year"
Comment: After 25 years on Wall Street as a lawyer and an investment banker, I spent the next 10 years as a history teacher, football and lacrosse coach at New Canaan High and Fairfield Warde.  I am now taking my second gap year, which basically says that I am in denial about possibly having "retired." Alternatively, it says I am still looking for "what to do next.".

 

In that vein, I am getting married for the second time on October 19th in Vermont.  Her name is Maryanne McNeill. We are going to live in Greenwich for awhile, but now there are two people looking to write the next chapter.



Wedding plans preclude making it to this reunion.



Best always.

Ann Dedman Neal (Dedman)

Marital status: Married
Children: 1
Occupation: Chef/Caterer
Comment: It is so much fun reading what everyone is doing and where everyone is living. For myself, I live with my husband of 20 years, Michael, and my 17 year old son, William, in the West Village here in New York City. My husband is an architect and my son is a junior in high school (which means there is no retirement in our future). I have been in the food business for almost thirty years during which I cooked in restaurants (including Windows On The World), was a private chef for Leonard Bernstein, and a corporate chef for BMG/Random House. After 9/11 when BMG downsized I became a full time caterer working out of my kitchen here on Perry Street. It is a great profession except I live on the fourth floor of a walk-up brownstone. If having a kid doesn't keep me young, then truly the stairs will. I look forward to seeing everyone in September.

Bill Delaney

Marital status: Married
Children: 2
Occupation: structural engineer
Comment: Greetings everyone. 



After DHS I headed off to DePauw University in Indiana to major in Political Science.  Too much living and not enough studying resulted in a short 2 years at DePauw.  Another 2 years majoring in Sociology at Franklin College in Indiana ended abruptly as I decided I was going to get drafted, so might as well head off to Colorado and work as a carpenter/ski bum.  Never got drafted and my carpentry days lasted 7 years and included Eisenhower Tunnel. Eventually I realized that there weren’t any old carpenters around and headed back to school for a civil engineering degree from Univ. Colorado @ Denver.



In 1978 I hired on with the National Park Service as a structural engineer for the western parks, working out of Denver.  I lived in Empire CO for 23 years, where I was also the mayor.



In 1993 I transferred to Yosemite NP and headed the design and construction program, up to my retirement in 2009.  



My wife Kathy and I live in Mariposa, CA., just outside of Yosemite. We have two children living in SF and Oakland, one grandchild and more on the way.  We are lucky to be active with lots of skiing, hiking and friends. Life is good!

Comment:

       I am afraid that my concentration on the 40th and 45th reunions focused on my family.



      During the 40th reunion, I kept rushing back and forth to Stamford Hospital, where my Pop lay with terminal cancer. Costanzo "Chris" Procaccini died a few weeks later.



    Just prior to the 45th reunion, our eldest daughter, Angel, was diagnosed with cancer. I arrived at the 45th reunion in total exhaustion, from caring for Angel and her two children several days per week. Angel has been in remission now for several years.



      Among Angel's many interests are organizing corporate inspirational gatherings, outdoor activities for Boston youth, working for AMC, and participating in major cancer fundraising events.



    THEREFORE, I am very, very happy to be a part of the 50th Darien Reunion, where I will be able to have full concentration paid to my classmates, memories, and showing off photos of our 3 healthy and happy grandchildren.



 





      During the summer, I had the pleasure of watching our youngest granddaughter, Mia Grace, 2 1/2 hours/week, while our youngest daughter Jennyann finished a course. Jennyann is a full time teacher, and Mia Grace is now 1 years old.



 



     Angelo and I care for grandsons at least once per week, while school is in session..  There is hardly a moment to think of our own needs. Nate is nine, and Ryan is seven. Ryan walks like Popeye, tries to get away with everything, and "NO" is not in his vocabulary. Nate is an avid reader, loves skiing, and enjoys technology.



 



    Brad,Angel's husbad, still travels to INTEL factories- Oregon, Texas, England, and conference calls with Israel-due to his INTEL inventions.



  



    Michael, Jennyann's husband, has just finished his Masters degree and works with stocks.



 



     Angelo and I are globe trotters, always ready to travel. We are retired. We keep ourselves busy. Angelo works 1 to 3 days/week (when in Connecticut) as a Judicial Consultant. He loves performing weddings.  I am the Program Director for the Eastford Senior Citizens. I write a column  for the local newspaper, freelance in another, and have my photographs published in a third.



 



     My husband and I will be married 47 years, the  week before the 50th Darien Reunion.



 



    We hope to see you there.



 



Best wishes to all.



Linda SM (Procaccini) dos Santos
