ALUMNI UPDATES
 

June 6.2003
The annual ALUMNI Banquet was held at the Camillus Elks Club. As usual there were a lot of folks there. with a bonus amount for the class of '63. It was their 40th anniversary. Gary Polmanteer, Kathy Hannam Tamblin and Kathy McCarthy Wallace did a great job getting in touch with folks. Kathy Wallace made a great memory board as a tribute to the Class of '63. I am hoping someone took a picture of it or that Kathy still has it so a picture can be taken. I think it should be in the Photo Gallery. Anyway...after a fine buffet dinner and dessert there was "the meeting." Minutes were read and reports were given and the election was held. Gary Polmanteer is the new president, with Betty Wilcox and Nancy Weslowski holding the positions of secretary and treasurer. Gary won a graduate teddy bear and he said it will now be his office mascot so we will see them both next year. We are hoping to have as good or better turnout next year. The ALUMNI BANQUET is posted in the paper and we mail out information. PLEASE...if you know anyone that went to Jordan or Elbridge or both PLEASE tell them about the banquet. It is for all students, not just the ";old folks". This is also YOUR ALUMNI. COME VISIT NEXT YEAR. This function is usually held the first Saturday of June. See you in 2004.


After a fine meal and a meeting there were photos being taken all over. There was a professional photographer there and took pictures of "your class" and everyone had a chance to purchase a print for a small fee. I am looking forward to getting ours in the mail soon.
To soon for good-byes the Class of '63 went to Victors Inn in Camillus where we had a room and tables set aside. We had snack trays and a very nice cocktail waitress. At closing time plans had been started for another get together. Hopefully it won't be such a long time between visits.
Talk to you all soon. Best to all. Patty

  Well, it has sure been a crazy summer so far. Hot one day chilly the next. They say if you don't like the weather just wait 5 minutes. More truth than fiction. Gary and I ran into Betty Wilcox at the Big M in Elbridge the other afternoon. Thank goodness we didn't hurt her (to bad ;-} .) We got to talking about the Alumni and the banquet and the web sight. We asked Betty if there was a list of the scholarship winners for the year 2002 and she told me that there was and she will send us the information as soon as she gets a chance. Then we can put in on this lovely little sight and people will have something new to read. That would be good for everyone. So far there has been no input of information from anyone out there. Is there anyone out there?? No pictures, no past thoughts or memories, no little tales out of school. Come on people...I know someone out there has SOMETHING worth printing. If you are worried about your photos being cared for don't, I PROMISE I will care for them and return them as soon as I scan them. Most likely it will be by the very next day. Also...please feel free to post in the guestbook. That's the only way we can find out who's out there. Remember, this is not MY web sight, it is ours, members of the Jordan Elbridge Schools. Please input!  Looking forward to seeing you at the Fall Festival in September. If anyone plans to attend feel free to post it in the guestbook, along with when you plan to go.

If anyone has any suggestions for getting together at that time please post that also. Or you can email either Gary or myself. Emails are; Gary  hotpeterpiper@aol.com and mine (Pat) is  pattiecakes999@aol.com. We also have email at Gary@jordanelbridgealumni.com  or  pattiecakes@jordanelbridgealumni.com . Feel free to drop us a line on anything note worthy. New kids, marriages, grandchildren, going to jail without a get out of jail free card (hehehe, I just slay myself sometimes), you get the drift. Friends in the past, friends in the now. It can't happen one sided.

Well, That's enough for now. I guess I have rambled on long enough. Gotta close. The best to you and yours.               Patty & Gary

 Well, I am sorry that I have not updated this in awhile. I am trying to "multi-task" and I guess I picked up to much. We are getting ready to head south for the winter but we will have the computer with us. I will try to get information about the Fall Festival in here before the next one rolls around. Right now I am trying to figure out how to add more photos to the "Blast..." page. Be patient please...remember we are both new at this web site stuff. That's all for now. Keep checking...and send me photos or "tall tales". Help me to keep the site going.                             Patty & Gary

Talk about slow...I guess that could describe me to a tee at times. As quick as I can on the Fest (and as much as I can remember haha). The weather was wonderful this year! We ran into far to few  friends there this year, less than normally in fact. Betty Wilcox was at the booth ( best place to find her ;-). Finally met Maureen Doyle and we had a chance to chat for about 30 seconds. She seems to be a busy woman. I forgot my camera so there will be no pictures until Fall 2004. The donuts were hot and great with the cider if you could catch them BEFORE they ran out or limited you to only 1 dozen at a time. The pulled pork and the ham sandwiches were real favorites with the crowd as were the chicken dinners. Gary and I and Ray and Kathy Tamblin were there every night watching, looking and listening. Everyone seemed to have a great, fun filled time. When we get back to NY from our little winter vacation I am going to try to get a hold of Betty W. for a list of names and amounts of the scholarships handed out.                                                           Until the next posting I want to wish everyone the best of the New Year and a safe New Years Eve. Here is to 2003 and looking forward to a great 2004                                      Patty and Gary

June 6,2007

Well, here we are again. Another year has come and gone. It seems to go by faster and faster. Must be the "age thing". It has been a full year for us and I am sure for all of you also. We have lost old and dear friends and made new ones. We have gotten 2  new great-grandchildren (both girls) and watched another grandson get engaged. There have been visits to the doctors ( as with everyone that is breathing) and just friends to visit. We had a great Alumni Banquet again. There were over 130 people in attendance. And for the first time that I can remember....a recipient of one of the Alumni scholarships from this school year was in attendance. Her name is ASHLEY JATON. She was there with her escort Brian Murray. Brian also graduated from J-E in 2006.    We also had a very special  presentation. One of our alumnus received  a crystal angel pin in celebration of her Diamond   Jubilee. Believe it or not Harriet  Dean  has been out of school 75 years. Way to go young lady. Congratulations!!                                              And the Class of 1957  celebrated their 50th year anniversary..                          Well, that's enough for now. Will try to "dig up" more through the year. All the best and see you at next years   banquet.                                                                                 Patty & Gary
