SPECIAL NOTICE

This notice is for one of our own Billy Palladino, Staples H.S. graduate, class of 1968. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in November of 2009 and has been hospitalized since Feb. 6, when complications from throat cancer surgery in November robbed him of his ability to speak. He had an operation where they removed his epiglottis, the flap that covers the trachea during swallowing so that food does not enter the lungs. He had a Tracheotomy and now is unable to speak. He is presently in Danbury Hospital and is receiving Chemotherapy and Radiation and hoping to go home soon.

With all this going on for Bill, another tragedy struck his family. His wife, Janice Ann McClenathan Palladino, age 45, passed away from a massive heart attack on February 11, 2010 at her home in Sandy Hook, CT. She was also a Staples High School Graduate, class of 1983. Not only did his wife meticulously prepare meals that were injected through the feeding tube Bill had implanted after his surgery and monitor his medications, her full-time job at a small manufacturing company in Oxford provided the health insurance that covered the bulk of his medical bills.

Now there is no income for family and they don't know how long the insurance from Janice's job will cover Billy's medical bills. They have 2 daughters, Michelle and Sarah Palladino who are both in college.

We want to let you know that a trust fund has been set up for Billy and his family at:

Newtown Savings Bank
30 Main Street
Danbury CT 06810
Phone: (203) 205-0080

For those of you that want to contact him or send get well cards to, his home contact information is:

Bill Palladino
7 Overlook Knoll
Sandy Hook CT 06482
(203) 426-8960

Here are some links for more information:

Article on Billy in the Danbury News Times, Feb. 21, 2010.

Obituary from the Westport News on Janice Ann McClenathan Palladino.

Please help out where you can. Collectively we can all make a difference for Billy and his family, no matter what the $ amount is. Words of support are also needed if you can't make a donation during these hard times.

Thank you, Shelby Goodlett Pike

For those that missed it, my childhood home on Hillandale Road was the January 5th "Teardown of the Day" at Westportnow.com. I know many Westporters have been in and out of that house over the years. My parents finally sold it and moved to Texas to be warmer, and to be near three of my sisters, and of course, their Grandchildren. We moved into the house in 1964; 45 years there. And it's going down.	Malcolm Doak 1978 view posts Friday, 02/12/2010 08:41:10
I can't believe it has been over 30 years since our days at Staples, and now I am getting ready for my daughter's high school graduation. Where does the time go?	Amy Wolfgang Tabor 1978 view posts Wednesday, 05/20/2009 11:03:06

Hi I am aclass of 76er but was looking for a dear freind LESLIE DIMON. I do not see her listed but know she was 2 years behind me and think she went to Coleytown MS. Any info would be appreciated. She lived on Cob Drive and had 2 older brothers. Thanks!	Susan Jenkins Schutte 1976 view posts Thursday, 11/20/2008 19:59:26
Hi to all, The reunion was great fun, thanks so much for those of you who made it happen. I finally removed the last of the celebratory nail polish from my fingers today!! Seeing Seth S. again reminded me of the awesome party he hosted for what seemed like the whole Coleytown class of 75. Neil - when you've settled in Seattle give a call (206) 782-7607.

Greetings and best wishes to all my former classmates. Just reading the names here has caused several long-inactive synapses to fire.	Daniel Arovas 1978 view posts Friday, 08/08/2008 04:08:43

I really wish I could have made it... But I was relocating from Anaheim CA to Seattle, WA to go back to work for Boeing... as far as a 35th reunion, that will be great. I'd also like to see a 33 1/3 WWPT reunion (45 is too long to wait!)	Neil Foster 1978 view posts Thursday, 08/07/2008 08:08:54
oh my gosh, it is so fun to still hear from so many of our classmates that did not go this reunion! How fantastic and it also brings back so many memories-like when I first got my drivers lisence and was driving to see Suzanne K-a bee came flying in my window, I (of course) let go of the wheel to defend myself from the big bad bee and missed hitting her garage by 2 inches!! Oh yeah, brings back all kinds of fun memories!!!	Cynthia Bigelow 1978 view posts Thursday, 08/07/2008 11:08:50
My heart's desire was to join you in reunion, but due to my job transition, I couldn't. I've really enjoyed viewing the pictures and re-living great memories, through those of you in attendance at the reunion. I'm grateful to all of you who worked so diligently to put on our 30th and capture it for those of us who couldn't come. Are there any Staples Orphennians (Poland '78) who attended?	Laurel Griffith Coolbaugh 1978 view posts Thursday, 08/07/2008 10:08:20
I had all intentions of going to the reunion but had to back out at the last minute. Saw the photos today and recognized some faces (Cindi, of course!)...heck, it has been 30 years! I know I haven't changed a bit...yeah, right. I'm looking like my Mom! eeghads.. Thanks for hooking me up with this site. Would love to connect with friends from so long ago! Hey, and that's the church where I got married 25 years ago!	Suzanne Kauffman Riley 1978 view posts Thursday, 08/07/2008 10:08:32
WOW !!.. It looks like everyone had a blast, and thanks ever so much to Tracy Malone for taking all those pictures, lol.. even though I admitt to not being able to recognize everyone, but at the same time it was great to see those that I did recognize.. Even though I was not able to attend I am glad to see that everyone certainly seemed to have enjoyed themselves.. Cheers to everyone and all that made it the success that it was.. Job well done !!	Kirsten Goehausen Waters 1978 view posts Wednesday, 08/06/2008 08:08:24

I had all intentions of going to the reunion but some business obligations got in the way. I really hope to make the next one. I haven't been able to go to our reunions for one reason or another since our 10 year reunion. Where can I go to view the good times had by all?	Cindy Dean 1978 view posts Tuesday, 08/05/2008 11:08:03
The pictures are great! Any chance someone can attach names to the photos? It has been a few years...	Ann Barre 1978 view posts Tuesday, 08/05/2008 10:08:35
Just finished looking at the pictures and it looks like a great time was had by all. I wish I could have come, but my daughter just had surgery. Hopefully next time.	Amy Wolfgang Tabor 1978 view posts Tuesday, 08/05/2008 10:08:34
Very sorry I could not make it--we just moved to California. See you at the 35th?	John Dotson 1978 view posts Tuesday, 08/05/2008 09:08:51
Reunion photos are now on the staples78.com website. Thank you Tracy.	Will Lloyd 1978 view posts Tuesday, 08/05/2008 06:08:06
IF ANYONE HAS ERIC SEMELMEYER'S (sp?) EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER-- PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Tnaks. Laura Pratt	Laura Pratt 1978 view posts Sunday, 08/03/2008 01:08:07
Pam, maybe we should send out this website name when we email everyone next week so more people will join in? What do you think????	Cynthia Bigelow 1978 view posts Wednesday, 07/30/2008 02:07:58
I finally have made it on to Westporters.com-about time. Anyway, from Will, Dave, Shelly, Pam, Lisa and I thank you all for making this such a rewarding experience. It was so fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves together. I was actually taken aback by the amazing camaraderie between everyone. It was a delight to be part of....looking forward to seeing everyone again (hopefully sooner vs. later!)	Cynthia Bigelow 1978 view posts Wednesday, 07/30/2008 02:07:22
To Cindy, Will, Tracy, Pam and all others involved in getting this reunion off the ground and seeing it to the end - 1 million thanks for all your time and effort! It was indeed a success! The euphoria of Friday night, the more tranquil Saturday night, and the relaxing Sunday afternoon bringing it all to a close. It was nice to see old classmates, reconnect with some with promises of not letting so much time slip by, remember things past which had been forgotten, and put into perspective where we are, who we have become, and where we came from. Ditto to David's comment - "let's keep this forum going". great to see all of you, and again 1 million thanks to the organizers!	Maria Pastor 1978 view posts Monday, 07/28/2008 05:07:18
I'll second what Marc said, plus add that the gathering at Compo on Sunday was also great. Much appreciation to everyone who contributed--let's keep this forum going to keep in touch.	David Schaffer 1978 view posts Monday, 07/28/2008 10:07:21

Reunion update: One week to go, and we have almost 150 people attending on Saturday night. We have to pay the caterer on Tuesday July 22, so if you haven't sent your check in please get it to me ASAP. A list of attendees is posted on -link-	Will Lloyd 1978 view posts Friday, 07/18/2008 04:07:16
Anyone who is shut out of the Westport Inn or just wants to save a little on the rates can get a room (as of now they are stil available) at the Hilton Garden Inn on North Main Ave in Norwalk. This is not as conveniently located for the Saturday and Sunday events, but is probably a comparable drive time from the Black Duck. The rate is $103 per night. It is a Triple A rate, but if you don't have Triple A and you speak to someone who asks you for a Triple A number ask to speak to the General Manager, Kevin Viteiri, and tell him you are coming for the Staples 78 reunion. You should be able to get that rate even without Triple A. The phone number is 203-523-4000. I can vouch for the quality of this lodging, having been a fairly frequent customer there recently.

Julie Zweig and I are coming from Seattle to attend the reunion Sat. & Sun. and will be staying in lower Manhattan the week before on a mini-vacation without our families! We'd love to have dinner in NYC with former classmates. We haven't made it to any reunions so far and are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting those again we just can't remember. lrech@nbbj.com or julieheine@hotmail.com. I love the idea of 33 1/3 reunion with for PT folks. Does Malcolm still have his record collection?	Laurel Rech 1978 view posts Saturday, 07/12/2008 02:07:52
Is there any musicians professional or closeted in our class still playing? My guitar and making music saved me in High School and has sustained me well into my adulthood..My first paying gig was at Grassroots and Pearls..a whopping 50.00 a night!..Anyone remember those places? At beach Sunday we should bring guitars and such and sing Eagles,Cat Stevens, Dan Fogelberg, Joni Mitchell, and Fleetwood Mac tunes. We can re-live our wasted youth.. .As I recall Kathy Higbee had a great voice and played guitar..and Nancy Markoff and Chris Creatura sing as well...I am game if some others are?

Maybe the WWPT Alumni can have a 33 1/3 reunion!	Neil Foster 1978 view posts Thursday, 07/10/2008 03:07:22
Speaking of the "next reunion"--why is it we only have them every 10 years instead of 5? And why didn't we at least have a 25th year reunion, since that is one of the biggest reunion years? Any insight or info on this would be appreciated.	David Schaffer 1978 view posts Thursday, 07/10/2008 12:07:12
I was actually very stoked about going. I haven't seen most of you since I left teh area in 1979. Unfortunately, moving to my new job has to take priority. I hope that I can see everyone at the next reunion.	Neil Foster 1978 view posts Thursday, 07/10/2008 12:07:18
I will be going to the Saturday night and Sunday events, am very psyched. Evan, will be glad to represent you in spirit--try to make it to Upstate NY on your way home from Maine.	David Schaffer 1978 view posts Thursday, 07/10/2008 09:07:34
I would so love to see everyone -- especially at the precipice of yet another rite of passage -- but I'm probably the only guy in our age group still working at summer camp in Maine!!! I'll ask Jim Rossi, Dave Schaffer, and Malcom to represent me in spirit. (From what I can remember, Malcom isn't a hugger, so force him into one for me!)	Evan Jones 1978 view posts Thursday, 07/10/2008 09:07:59
Whoa!! What is with all the lame excuses and the referring to one‚Äôs self in the third person?!?!? Will has already cashed my check, so I am in! I'm even squeezing my buddy's wedding in between Friday night and Saturday night.	Malcolm Doak 1978 view posts Wednesday, 07/09/2008 02:07:13
Neil Foster originally planned to be there, but will be in the process of moving from Anaheim, CA to Seattle, WA that weekend! I was really looking forward to seening everyone... Sorry I have to miss it.	Neil Foster 1978 view posts Wednesday, 07/09/2008 11:07:56

Woops. POsted that on the wrong bulletin board. Will repost on 80's.	Jennifer Lowe 1980 view posts Wednesday, 05/14/2008 07:05:43
I worked at the movie theaters. Kramer vs Kramer was my first show. I think it was at fine arts 3 (the one across from Jessup Green) and it was there the entire summer. Boy, the movie biz has really changed.	Jennifer Lowe 1980 view posts Wednesday, 05/14/2008 07:05:42
Hi Will Lloyd. I decided to glance at '78 to see if anyone posted anything, and here you are. 80's bulletin board is going crazy. Anywho, just wanted to say hi. Last I heard, which was probably at least 3 years ago, Kelly Frey (can't remember her married name) told me you were back in Westport. Hope all's going well.	Jennifer Lowe 1980 view posts Friday, 05/09/2008 11:10:54

We at Westporters.com just wanted to let you know that we've added a new feature which makes it very easy to communicate with your graduating class at Staples. Now when you post on the bulletin board for your graduating class, the entry is sent by email to everyone from your graduating class whose profile is set to receive such messages. You can also post on the bulletin board of any other graduating class at Staples. This should make it fast and easy to let others know important information, to request information from others, or to set up reunions or other activities. We hope this new feature will be helpful to you. Regards, Customer Service at Westporters.com	Customer Service view posts Tuesday, 04/15/2008 13:07:47
