(Of note: The class of  '54, and this website in particular (see page 8), receive laudatory mention in the 2003-2004 George School Report of Gifts. See also Peirce's comments. Gini and I agree with the sentiments: it is a wonderful and generous class. Bob Freedman has good words.)

• See links to 50th reunion pictures.

• We're gearing up for the 55th!

Project See the Then&Now pages (below). In addition the Year50Book, Volume 2,  is available in the 'Files' section of the GS54 group site. We are working toward "Volume 3".
Please Send a Note to Gini Now!

Can you create a web page or two that can be linked into this site?

4Virginia Porter Reynolds has developed some very nicely designed pages for this site. In each case she is seeking contributions to add to them. If you have something you can add, send a URL or attach to email to Gini. Or send her a regular film-style (print)  picture via snail mail.

4Peirce Behrendt would like contributions to the movie reviews page.

• There is a Then and Now page devoted to pictures of "then" and some of "now". Enough to set you to thinking. Don't you have a digital picture you can spare? Or just a print?
• Another page is a display of original works of art or other creations (e.g., photographs) by members of the class. Impressive. Watercolor on right, "Stockbridge Bowl, Afternoon", is by Margot Stevens Trout.
• What Books have you been reading? Share your reviews. It's fun and interesting. (In place of email to Gini, you can use a submission page instead.)
• Where have your travels taken you? How about sharing some of your experiences? In fact, we all rather like hearing about nearby and faraway adventures. Gini is collecting summaries and pictures. Pete Gum took picture of Canyon de Chelly on left.
Send pictures, print or digital, to Gini.

• Biographies!  Please add yours, which is done by email to Gini. » This will also be source material for Reunion Yearbook issues.
• Gini has added a nicely done page commemorating our deceased classmates.

Peirce Behrendt has created a page to record comments you may have  about movies you see. Send your comments to Peirce.
