We are trying to figure out what do do with the leftover funds from the reunion. The tally is not in yet, but we think will be enough to maybe make a little difference in someone's life.

A committe is being organized and so far  Michael Arkes, Marcia Balonick, Shelly Kltzky, Deborah Senn and Jan Elson have expressed interest. Do you want to add your name to this list, and have a say in what direction this goes?

 Let us know, either on this site, or send us an email.

Judy Trock Crago here in the aftermath of the damage. I have air and lights but the exterior nThe damage is just under my deductible of course. I will worry about it in 2 weeks when I return from Prague where I will be seeing the LAVER CUP TENNIS TOURNAMENT.  Look for me in the Laver section with Rod and Family of his and mine. It will be on ESPN2 on Sept 21-23. It is Europe vs. the World. First time Federer and Nadal have ever played together. I am so excited. Maybe I will see you all for the 70th. 

I vote to give the money to the IRMA hurricane relief. There are still people here with no electricity and water in their homes. Judy

Here is the note I got tonight from our beloved teacher of history, Ralph Becker:

Thanks for the memories...great history of ye old South Shore neighborhood. My eyes teared over. Am hanging in there. I have lost the full use of my legs but am able to get around with a cane inside the house and a walker outside. Am also on my third pair of hearing aids..so that tells you about my physical shape. Have givenup dr iving and  have given my 2003 Camry sedan to my daughter Pam who lives in nearby Deerfield. Her husband is Howard Reich, jazz critic at the Trib.  She took an early buyout several years ago from the Trib after 30 years. 

As you may know, the Trib tower will be vacated soon to new owners who will convert it to more commercial sites. Their new site is undetermined at present.

My niece teaches in Chicago and lives there; and runs into SS alums all the time. She is the one who alerted me to your (our!) reunion. I hope my regards were made to the group.

Stay healthy, and L'shana tovah.

Ralph & Betty Becker
