Lights, Camera, Action!


After a second successful reunion committee meeting last Saturday evening at Three Corners Restaurant in Fairfield, our promotion of the event hit the "big screen" this week. Reunion chairman Tony Procaccini appeared as a featured guest on News 12 Connecticut's Education Notebook Tuesday morning. The program will air several times this coming weekend.

Tony was interviewed by host Eric Greene. The segment covered a variety of topics, including information about the reunion, how the committee prepares for the event, and previous successful reunions. Tony brought visuals for the interview, and he showed his baseball cap from his days at Andrew Warde High School. Tony even showed the baseball he caught for the last out against arch-rival Roger Ludlowe in the 4-2 victory over the Tigers on May 12, 1976.

Eric Greene asked Tony about his previous reunion experience, including his elementary school reunion. They also discussed the important roles of the committee members and how each person brings a specific area of expertise in planning for the event.

Additional information about the reunion may be found at http://www.news12.com by clicking on Numbers and Links on the left-hand side.

Odds and Ends ... Former teachers Ed Bengermino and Ben Guerra have accepted invitations to the reunion. Ed is leaving on vacation the following day, but he was excited to hear about the reunion. "That was a great class," he said. Plans are in the works for a Family Reunion Social Sunday, August 20, at Lake Hills in Fairfield. Details will be forthcoming soon. Please be sure to check the reunion Web site for more information.
