Reunion committee president Tony Procaccini worked tirelessly to promote our 30th high school reunion. He pointed out that several people were responsible for the wonderful video we saw at Testo's Restaurant on Saturday, August 19.
According to Tony, "Classmate Tracy Yung gave us a CD with dozens of photos from 1976, which were included on the video display at our reunion. Thus, (Joe) Malgioglo provided previously unseen film, Yung provided previously unseen photos, and we added slides converted by Doug Coventry from the original medium to one DVD.
"So, what we saw was a Malgioglo/Yung/Coventry contribution, put together by the committee's "Technical Wizard" Leslie Allen-Downey. The slides Doug worked on (many of which have deteriorated) were the only footage we used at reunions before this year, so we suddenly became very fortunate to have so much material (old and new) for viewing in 2006.
"In May 2006 (within two days of each other), both Malgioglo and Yung contacted me and stated they had film and photos we could use, "out of the blue," so to speak, completely unsolicited. They had either seen the Web site or had heard of the reunion, and both offered to send me copies of what they had. Quite a story in and of itself.
"Another irony: both graduated after commencement, so their names are not on the graduation exercise program."
Now you know how the video came to be. The photo above shows Jeff Thornton and Vicki Marx (back) and Donna Provolo and Kathy Oneto sharing good times and memories at our high school reunion.
