Mark I just saw a posting for trump and Hillary when I came onto this site,when are the ads supposed to come off?

When I receive the checks from Andy, Mark and Michael Klaper, I will pay to have the ads removed.   I have heard from Andy and Mark, but not Michael.  Hopefully, he got my e-mail with my address.

Hi Nancy,

Glad to get to talk to you ( and everyone else). Funny you mentioned Barbara Garmisa. She was my biology lab partner. She also was a bit squirmish about disecting our frog. It is interesting what memories can be brought up just by reading a name or two.

Wishing everyone a healthy year.

Nancy - 

I have sent in my $50.00 check to Margie and expect the others who agreed to will as well. I think it's really important to get these political ads off our site and my feeling has nothing to do with my own political views. I just know from my own experience how toxic political discussion of any kind can be on a social media site.

Mark, Andy and Michael have paid to have the site ad free.  I paid Class Creator yesterday.  As far as I can tell, it has already gone into effect.  Please enjoy using the site ad free for the next year.

I hope this news finds my fellow classmates at peace. You can take the folks out of South Shore High School, but you cannot take South Shore High School out of the folks.

The site is wonderful and so are all of you generous classmates and cohorts, thank you and God Bless you and of course, God Bless America.

Peggy, I sat across the aisle from you in homeroom and I remember that you were sweet, thoughtful, caring and considerate and always had a welcoming, friendly smile.  These qualities have only gotten better as you got older.  Hope we get to meet sometime.

Again I want to thank Andy and Michael for joining me in the inexpensive way to end the ads on this site for a year. And thanks to Margie for facilitating it all. If anyone actually read the Ron Paul ads they lead to an interesting place, which is not political. If you followed the ad to the video it was a very long presentation by Paul on how the U.S. economy and our government is doomed because of X, Y, and Z. But rather than argue what can be done to change our politics to prevent this collapse, Paul was using this infomercial to argue that nothing can be done to save the country as a whole but that if you buy this book he was peddling you can learn not only how to survive the apocalypse but to profit from it. So, in a way, it was more commercial than political but I am certainly happy that it is gone. And you can count on the fact that I will never bring up a political or commerical idea or position on this forum. 

However, several 1965 graduates of SSHS have have become my facebook friends and I would welcome others. I do talk about politics but also, philosophy, interpersonal relationships, psychological dynamics, art, early childhood education, science, technology and more. Frankly, I'm not very nostalgic so I don't participate much on this site. In addition my memory is shot and I just can't remember alot of what when on 51 years ago. None-the-less I support this site and will continue to do so. I also have met in person, for lunch, participants on the "I grew up in Chicago (South Shore Web site) and I've really enjoyed it since we tend to talk about the present (which I can sometimes remember). Most of the people are a few years younger than me but it's hard to tell at this age. They were more in my younger brother's year. So if you're interested in that group let me know. A special incentive is that we often eat at the incomparable Manny's in Chicago.

Glad to contribute to this forum and my high school friends that gave me so much during those formative years.

Health and Harmony to all...

Let's have lunch together.  I am sure Manny's has something vegetarian.  And I work not far from there.

Mark Podolner

That's a great idea Steve - count me in! I've done it twice with the "I Grew up in South Shore" group and it was great both times. Also, they have some excellent kugel for the vegetarians. I suggest putting out some dates and times and seeing what works for people. Regretably, I'll be having knee replacement surgery on November 17 so that might get in the way of the first lunch get-together but there's no reason we couldn't do this on an ongoing basis.

Count me in too!!! I do not work close to Manny's but could make it a half day!

 Sorry, been in Italy for past month so just catching up. Happy to see a few good folks have helped is all with

getting rid of the political ads (think we see enough everywhere else!).

Love to join a group at Manny's if it happens before 1st of year or when I get back from Snowbird land. So hope we can find a date that works for a bunch of us.

Good luck with the knee replacement surgery- friend just did it this Speing and is doing great!

Thanks for posting all the updates. Please include me in the lunch get togethers too.  I will be back in Chicago next May 2017.  Next year 2017 is our special birthday year for all of us so it would be fun to have one big birthday lunch  celebration!!!!

Well for most as I went to summer school to graduate grammer school.

I figure every year is special now! But great idea for celebration lunch!

Joni Rittenberg (Ribera)

Would love to attend a birthday lunch since I didn't get to our reunion. Weather is a nice important factor for many of us. We live in Mexico and no longer do snow or cold. How about the beginning of May? Should be beautiful then and before hoards of kids are out of school traveling. Would love to see some of my old friends.

I will check with Manny to see if they have a meeting room where we can all gather for lunch.

Woo Hoo!!!

I don't think they have such a room but I could be wrong. The "I Grew up in South Shore" facebook group would just grab a large table and get together there. It's noisy but it works. Also, I don't think we're going to attract a large crowd to downtown Chicago unless there's a lot more people working there than I thought. I also wouldn't worry if everyone who wants to come can't make it (like me if it's after Nov. 17) because we can just do it again at Manny's or someplace else. You can go crazy trying to find a date that works for everyone.

I was thinking of next spring given comments about people leaving for the winter.  When do you plan to return, Mark?

Susan Moise (Herman)

Spring works for me as I winter in FL as well!
