Great Send from Richard Cummings!

So you find yourself in Dublin, Ireland, on a rainy, windy Sunday waiting to catch an airplane back to Düsseldorf. You are hungry. And there it is! An American Diner: Eddie Rocket's City Diner.

Well, you gotta go in...gotta try a Irish Cheddar Cheeseburger--they are "homemade, after all--and, of course, a strawberry shake. You order, look around, and find the jukebox whatchamacallit on the counter along with the Heinz Ketchup bottle. And, eureka! A still life photograph: "3 Way Chilli."=

Hope you like it.

Hi Rose:

I'm here to join the Lantern website that great class of 1962. Pete Russo, my good friend, told me about this website and blog and also gave me your email address.

I think it's great you have done this. I've checked out the website somewhat and I have all those great memories come right back when I see the names and pictures. You have done a great job. Thank You.

I'll be checking to see who is joining and also as to additional news as it comes up.

I'll bet everyone says "where has the last 47 years gone" and I'm saying the same thing.

Thanks, again.
Arthur

Peter Russo signed the Guest Book!

So excited to see your photo and that you signed The Lantern's Guest Book! You look wonderful!

Everyone scroll down to the very bottom of the page to the Guest Book and view Peter Russo's picture that he submitted in today and all by himself without my assistance. Great work Peter!

Welcome Barb Lagorio & Kathy Crane!

Hey, Everyone....Let's all welcome Barb & Kathy!

We have classmates that have been looking for you.

So excited to receive Meri's email this morning which included both your emails so you can enjoy being added to The Lantern that I created and maintain for our class.

You both will have some catching up to do. I suggest starting with the day of inception of this Blog for RHS Class of 62. Look at the sidebar on the right and click on the year of 2008 and enjoy going through month by month. I started the the Journal/Blog in June of 2008. Remember to view the comments at the bottom of each entry. Use your arrow buttons above to get you back to the previous or next page. Or at the bottom of the page, it will indicate do you wish to view older posts or go back to the newer posts. You will find your way around easy enough. If you need help, I'm always here if you get stuck.

If you have a story you would love to share or pictures too. We have a Lantern Photo/Shop that I have created separate albums for anyone who chooses to have one.

At the bottom of each Entry, you will notice the words "Comments". You may click on that to leave a comment for our classmates to see. If you do not have a google account, you may leave a comment using the anonymous button but please remember to leave your name inside the comment so we know who you are. Or you can create an account if you choose. It only takes seconds...just remember to jot down your username and password.

Blogger.com will only allow me to use 10 emails to receive comments as they come in automatically. I wish I could put everyone's email address in there but I can't. I try to email everyone and let them know when a new Entry has been made and/or comments.

Just keep checking on the site periodically and most of all enjoy!

Oh....Barb....just the other day Anne Farrell emailed us and said she and Jack were watching a Celtics game and they saw you on TV at the game! How cool is that. You can take a look and Anne and Jack's Album on the Lantern as well.

If you gals have any questions or concerns, please contact me any time at all. Oh, and if you have email addresses of other classmates of 62, please send them to me.....Thanks

Rose

Happy Valentine's Day to my Forever Friends!

Valentine's Day is a celebrated on February 14th. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine cards, flowers, or offering heart shaped chocolates.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines." Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Remember in grammar school, we would send those little valentines that came in a package? The were cute! Do the young children in school still do that?

Did you know that the sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards.

Hugs, Rose

A Valentine's Day Surprise from Richard Cummings!

Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone.

(Please note that you can go into Rich's PhotoAlbum and view this beautiful work of art in full screen in that area to appreciate the details in the photographs.) Just look into the sidebar and I believe his album is in the month of October if my memory is not failing me. Rose)
