January 2021 News
We are saddened to report the passing of classmate Robert (Bob) Cady. We have posted a Notice in our "In Memory" section on this website.

You have all been hearing a lot on the news lately about the new vaccines that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for distribution to all Americans and to be available soon to all of us. Here is a short list (below) of comparisons between the Pfizer and Moderna brands of those vaccines. We did notice that on Dec. 21st, Dr. Anthony Faucci chose to get the Moderna version of the COVID-19 vaccine. We also understand that the Center for Disease Control has recommended that those over 75 years of age be among the first to get the vaccine after the frontline workers. When that will actually occur in your state will likely be part of your state's plan to administer the doses they get from the Federal Government.
In the meantime, wear your masks when you go out into public spaces,
in order to STAY SAFE.

All we have to do is convince our event-planning group to arrange for such a special party so we can all see one another once more.
Remember when this photo was taken?

... that today, besides being New Year's Eve (Happy New Year, everyone!), Auld Lang Syne Day? Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians played "Auld Lang Syne" as a New Year's Eve song for the first time on this day in 1929. Auld Lang Syne had been the band's theme song long before 1929. However, this night was the start of a New Year's Eve tradition as Lombardo's famed orchestra played at the Hotel Roosevelt Grill in New York City to usher in the new year.
"New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change."
-- Sarah Ban Breathnach
"Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one."
-- Brad Paisley
