Have You Traveled?

WHERE HAVE YOU TRAVELED TO??

I was going to post this as a poll on Facebook and then decided to post a poll here.  I was not happy with the result since it would take many lines to post all the countries in the world and would take up ALOT of space and it would defeat the purpose.  I decided to ask the question right here in the blog and anyone can use the comment to leave his or her response.  In order to know who you are there are a few steps to take.  

If you are commenting as an Anonynous (you don't have to sign up with a 3rd party) then leave your full name and the year you graduated.  If you have an account with any of the others listed and have a picture uploaded, it will show your picture and if not then no picture.  But for each one who comments, please give your name and year you graduated and tell us where you have traveled.  

If you were in the military, where did you travel while serving our country.  I am sure we have many alumni who have served in the military and traveled not just in civilian life.  We want to hear from you too!!

I will leave a comment first and then anyone can follow!!

Class of 1968 43rd Reunion 2011

June 25, 1968 was the day of our graduation and June 25, 2011 was our 43rd High School Reunion.  What a wonderful day to celebrate that day. We had a smaller group this year and it was just as fantastic as it was the year before.  Our celebration started at Tosca Cafe which is located in Bronx, NY and ended at Sonia Peralta-Munoz house for a gathering. It was a wonderful reunion and we all enjoyed seeing each other again.

Now that I am back from my fantastic vacation from New York City, I was a bit saddened that I was not able to spend more time with friends and more time in the city.  Our reunion turned out FANTASTIC!!..I as well as classmates who were able to attend this years reunion had a time of our lives.  A big surprise was in store for us all which Sonia Peralta-Munoz planned out but did not tell anyone except we were going to have a surprise coming.  I wondered why Sonia put her bag on the chair next to her and said leave this chair empty.  Could it be Eric Estrada?????...or (Henry Estrada) as we knew him.  He is our famous actor of our time..OURS because he belongs to LDBrandeis HS Class of 1968. How can anyone forget CHIPS!!.  It was a much BETTER surprise (we love you Eric!!), it was someone we have not forgotten.

Sonia had left the room and missed what was about to happen, and  here we are all talking with each other and catching up on what has been going on in our lives when a surprise caught my eyes and I turned to my left as our beloved teacher Miss Libby Bleaman walked in.

Miss Libby Bleaman

We were totally surprised, so surprised that I have proof on pictures how we all were shocked to see her. As one of our classmates wife said "She came right out of a Vogue magazine", I do agree!!  Miss Bleaman looked fantastic.She was as surprised to see us as we were.  There was plenty to talk about and catch up on all these years.

As last year, I will be posting videos of pictures that I am working on and videos which were taken by Angel Munoz who is working diligently on them will be posted here.  In the meantime, please leave a comment on how you enjoyed the reunion this year and what you might want to see happen next year.  I welcome each and everyone to leave a comment.  Look for the videos very soon!!
