Judy (nee King, class of '60) and I are now residing in Utah, but we will not be able to attend the class reunion. Although I retired officially from public education in social work in 1996, Judy and I have continued a very active involvement in international training of children's workers.

For the past eight eyes I have served as the volunteer international training coordinator for The International Network of Children's Ministry based out of Colorado (www.incm.org) and in 2008 established an independent international training organziation, Chronological Bible Storying for Children, www.cbs4kids.org .

We are enjoying some years (hopefully some time) in the wild west.

Judy and I are both off to South Africa in another few days for a two week children's workers training project we are doing there.

Reunion Committee Letter

Red Dragon Canoe Club


Riverside High School Class of 1959
50th Class Reunion
September 26, 2009

May 20, 2009

Hello Classmates,

Here is the information for which you have been waiting. Our 50th class reunion will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at the Riverton County Club, 1416 Highland Ave., Cinnaminson, NJ 08077, (856-829-5500) from 6 PM to 11 PM. There will be a cocktail hour (cash bar) with hors d’oeuvres served, giving us a chance to socialize before dinner and dancing. Music will be tastefully provided by Mike Chiaccio and Roy Rossi. Cost is $55 per person. Selections are Chicken Roulade stuffed with Spinach, Roast Pepper and Romano Cheese, Petite Filet Mignon; and Grilled Atlantic Salmon separate.

We hope to have a whole weekend of events in which you can participate. On Friday September 25, Class President, Harry Johnstone has arranged for a tour of the high school at 1 PM. We will meet on the front steps at the high school. Please show your interest on the questionnaire. That same evening we will gather at the Red Dragon Canoe Club at 221 Edgewater Ave. in Edgewater Park, NJ 08010 from 7-10 PM to socialize. Cost is $5 per person at the door. Bring something to share with others – a snack, soda, a beverage. (BYOB) and dress casually. You can let me know by email if you plan to attend or contact Marge (Leusner) Stokes directly at 856-461-2463 or with a postcard to her at 7 Mulberry St., Delran, NJ 08075.

Saturday will be our big day with formal dinner. You can explore on your own that day, taking in the sights that have changed in Riverside, Delran, Atco or Evesham. Hop on the Riverline, light rail that goes through Riverside and connects from Camden to Trenton. Visit the Battleship New Jersey or Adventure Aquarium, both on the Delaware River at the end of the line in Camden or take the connection to PATCO and visit Philadelphia. On Sunday we can relax together on informal trips planned to Atlantic City for shopping, walking the boards, or visiting a casino or two. Others may prefer to get together for a picnic in one of our new Burlington County Parks. We can talk it up at the Red Dragon Canoe Club on Friday.

If you are coming a distance, we recommend that you stay at the Sleep Inn 208 US Rt. 130 North in Cinnaminson, (856-829-0717) just a couple of short blocks from the Riverton Country Club. We will be entitled to the group rate of $89.99 per night if we use at least 10 rooms. (Regular rate for that weekend is $109.99 per night). We have set up a block of rooms. Make your reservation directly with the Inn and mention the RHS Class of 1959!

We are trying to keep costs down by notifying as many of you as possible by email. So if you received this by regular mail and now have an email address, please let us know at cabishop57@juno.com.

For the past two reunions we have been fortunate enough to have our booklet printed without cost to us by Liz Smith McNamee who worked for a printing company. Liz has retired, which is great for her. Booklets will be distributed to those who attend the reunion. Those who do not attend and would like a booklet mailed to them, please send $5 when you return your information sheet to cover cost of printing and mailing.

Don’t forget to check out the RHS website set up by Ed Rockstein. You can put your pre- or post-reunion comments there at 59rams.blogspot.com; or you can contact Ed directly at ed4linda@verizon.net. He will post for you.


We are looking forward to spending this weekend with you.


Your reunion committee: Carol Bishop, Michael Chiaccio, Patricia Dugan Kramer, Sandra Gamble Martin, Harry Johnstone, Margaret Leusner Stokes, Joy Page Canducci, Joan Pfeil Chiaccio, Fred Pfeiffer, George Pfeiffer, Carol Rider Fitzpatrick, Maryann Sturdivant Minguez, and Gail Wolff Fynan.
