Dear Ralph,

This is just a short note to extend my personal gratitude to you, Mike, BH, and numerous others for putting together a marvelous weekend. It was a real honor for me to be able to participate with my old classmates. I am hopeful that we can roundup many of those in the class for our next event. Additionally, as Larry Aber mentioned, I would like to see us do something meaningful as a class.

It was also great to see the various and diverse roads that we have all taken, yet all very meaningful. In any case, everyone has taken good care of their families, contributed to society, and represent a wonderful group of people. Thank you, Ralph.

By the way, Coleman, Sylvester, Mickey W, et al, I hope you have a good excuse.

God Bless.

To all:

It was so great to see everyone. Let me tell you, I wouldn't have missed it and it was everything I thought it was going to be and more. It was unbelievable and unforgetable. I had one of the best times I have ever had and all of you are really terrific. Thanks for being who you are. We joke around a lot but I mean that.

Ralph, what can I say that hasn't been said. Your the best and thanks so much for what you have done. Your persistance and leadership in this was and is fantastic. You the man Ralph!!! I nominate you as President of our alumni class of 68'. I know I speak for all when I say all in favor--Its unanimous. The job is yours and we will support you in all ways possible.

Bill, thanks so much for the tickets to the game on Friday night. That was great and its much appreciated. That was the first time I have been to the new stadium and it is unbelievable so again thanks for doing that.

Mike, Saturday was really fantastic and you made it special. Thanks for that and thanks for all that you did. You have a great place.

BH, you will always be welcome by us and you will always hold a special place.

Take care guys and let's all stay in contact. We have a special group and should keep it going. We should use the blog. If any of you are coming to Los Angeles please let me know.

All the best,

Kevin Mulvihill

Kevin, You said it well and I'm sure for all of us. Ralph, Bill and Mike, thanks for all you did to put the weekend together.

I have to say, I'm not usually one to do a lot of standning around and simply talking, but Saturday the time went by too fast. It's amazing to think that I talked more to some of you all than I did in four years of high school.

In the intevening years it seems we've all grown in some measure of wisdom, and it seems that the good Christian brothers, along with the Bukas, Whites, Strazza'a, Sparvero's, etc. all must have done
some pretty good work. You guys are great!

As Kevin says, Thanks to all of you, Dexter included.

Peace, John

Hi everyone,

I just want to tell you that I had a great time. It was so nice to see and be with you. Thanks to Ralph, Bill, and Mike for all that you did.

When I was At South, I loved the whole experience and this weekend brought back so many great, happy, and important times and memories for me. It was most rewarding to realize that you all had the same feelings toward South as so many of the teachers and Brothers had toward you. We all thought and still think that it was Camelot.
Thanks for being such a great group and for the wonderful time this weekend.

Looking forward to pictures and to continuing a great tradition.

Best of everything to you.

Thanks, Kevin, for expressing my thoughts about the weekend so well, and so quickly.

I knew this would be fun, but it was way beyond that. I know I'll never get tired of a classmate saying "do you remember...". I also want to repeat thanks to Ralph, Bill, and Mike. Mike, I've never been so proud of being a native of OverCarrickbrook.

What a treat to see the Vince, formerly known as Brother. Well done everyone.

Hey Guys,

I just got back home and now, after having read everyone’s comments on this weekend, I feel compelled to make some of my own.

We are reminded after this event that we are really blessed in so many ways. I truly believe that in life we are not measured by our accomplishments, or how much money we have, but how we are as a person and the family and friends we have. I feel blessed to be associated with each and every one of you and will always consider this past weekend one that transcends all others.

All of our parents sacrificed so that we could enjoy the special High School experience that was South Catholic. Our lives, hearts, and souls were enriched by it. What a gift we were given!!

Being with all of you this weekend made me remember that gift, and that I shared my high school years with some of the best persons on this planet.

Friends always,

Tom

To all:

I echo Kevin's sentiments. It's hard to believe 38 years have gone by so quickly. It was great seeing everyone and catching up after all of these years. Thanks again to Mike for hosting a great time on Saturday and all who made the weekend possible and to Ralph and BH for the emails over the past year that got the ball rolling.
