Here's to the 100th Anniversary announcement!

 

[OntheBanks]

I'd say "God Bless You", but we can see that God already did.

 

[RU Husky]

Mazes Tov. That’s a milestone we should all aspire to. Last June was only my 60th.

 

[tico brown]

Jeezus… And I felt old from graduating from there 31 years ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats.

 

[colbert17]

Beaced: You're a treasure!!!
Congrats!!

 

[Knight Shift]

Where did the time go? Guess I was a lot younger then.

IIRC, you graduated "early" at 16 yo?
My mother graduated East Side High 76 years ago.

 

[newell138]

I want to be at the first RU Game where you hit 100!

 

[AreYouNUTS]

God bless my friend

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

So OP is almost 100??

He once shared some kind of vitamin/mineral/dining regimen.. maybe that should get pinned to board.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

HE WAS THE INVITED GUEST SPEAKER. SAID HE WOULD COME,BUT DIDN'T.HE LIES A LOT YOU KNOW.

I always thought his "I could not tell a lie" thing was more like "I realize now, ax in hand, that I cannot get away with a lie". But, really, chopping down a CHERRY tree.. that's evil.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Jeezus… And I felt old from graduating from there 31 years ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Congrats.

Yes, she is. Will be 94 years young on 6/30. Maiden name is Raczka. Her family had a corner store on the corner of Darcy and Wall in the Ironbound section. She ran on the track team.

Yup

Cool

[Knight Shift]

What year?

Going to guess 1946. Will ask next time I see her.

Should’ve asked who sent me this along with what year:

“Yup QUOTE : - DO you recall who the AD was at SHABAZZ.? Some of the HC's?”

You sure got some miles on you. LOL.

Any interesting stories from back then? I'm sure there's a ton we could all learn from you.
