Hi friends!

The "Lady Indian Luncheon" was a fun time! Thank you to Jan for having all of us at her home once again! Jan makes it possible for all of us to have a festive and homey place to gather to strengthen our friendships and make new ones! Every year we get a couple of new attendees! This year Jane Fencur joined in on the fun! Yay! Sue Cancilla came the farthest from South Carolina! Thanks for making the trip Sue! Our first Lady Indian Luncheon was in 2010 and consisted 4 ladies. Beth Gaylord, Sharon Keating, Sherri Cohn and Jan Giovati at Beth's house. My how we have grown!

Our charity this year was the hospice homes in the area. It seems that this selection hit home as we had quite a few donations from the class that did not even participate in the luncheon itself. Thank you lady Indians and fellow classmates!!! We collected roughly $500 along with gift cards and bags of needed supplies for the hospice homes!

Who was there?

Jan Giovati, Beth Gaylord, Sharon Keating, Sherri Cohn, Alla Feldman, Jane Fencur, Bambi Kleehamer, Donna Alonzo, Dawn McDonald, Sue Heiden, Sue Cancilla, Jean Pearston, Sue Anne Brown, Robin Derman, Ellen Schindler, Kim Cole, Sharon Magin, Beth Herzog, Kathy Gurnett

IN MEMORY

"Death can show us the way, for when we know and understand completely that our time on this Earth is limited, and that we have no way of knowing when it will be over, then we must live each day as if it were the only one we had.
Life is so fragile; EVERY DAY IS A GIFT . . ."

This page lists the names of our deceased alumni. We have very limited information regarding the dates or circumstances of their passing as well as where their path took them after IHS up until their passing.
If any of our information is incorrect or you have information concerning these alumni; please email me at phil.parcells@gmail.com.
We were saddened to learn of their passing; so this webpage was created so that we can pay tribute to their memory and to know that they will not be forgotten.
You may also post your memory of these classmates on their In Memory page. Click on the In Memory link at the top of the page and then click the "Post Comment" button. Please be honorable to their memory in your posts.

IHS ALMA MATER

Hail, Hail Irondequoit our Alma Mater dear.

We praise thee for thy nobleness, thy honor we revere;

and though the years swiftly pass away, our love shall never die.

We have been inspired by thee the highest aims to try.

Hail, Hail Irondequoit, may sunshine fill thy halls;

and memories of thy sons and daughters echo from thy walls.

From thee we gained wisdom, honesty, leadership and skill.

Irondequoit where ere we travel, Alma Mater still.

Be forewarned, posts that are blatantly harsh, derogatory, inflammatory, disrespectful or contain cursing will be deleted and are grounds for immediate removal of the posting member from the group.

This site is politics-free zone! There will be no discussion of political subjects tolerated on this site. All it leads to is hate, aggravation and anxiety. I know that I could do with a lot less of that. Further, I think that the vast majority of the membership comes here to escape that sort of thing. IF YOU HAVE A POLITICAL AGENDA TO PUSH, DON'T BRING IT HERE!

Unless you explicitly grant your permission, your email address is not visible, although an email can be sent to you using the contact box at the bottom of your Profile page.
