ANNOUNCEMENTS
From Webmaster and/or Reunion Committee
12/09/09: Newly Lost Classmates:
More classmates were recently posted on our "Missing" list, as a result of sending out the recent 50th Reunion "Head-Up" to everyone by regular (USPS) mail. See the Poof List.10/12/09: We No Longer Have an Email Address for the Following 13 People:

Beware of All "Reunion" Pay Sites All self-described "reunion" and "find your long lost classmates" type websites are suspect, at the very least,
and if you have to pay to join, or to get access to advanced features, positively so. The only way you might find
anyone is if that person also happens to join the same website you did. These sites publish false entries with
actual names of some of your classmates. Think of a fisherman baiting a hook, or putting out a chum line (chump
line, in this case). Some of us joined one of these years ago, and proved this. Because I knew the actual location
of 300+ member of BHS '60 at that time, I could spot the bogus entries immediately.

| How To Contact the Webmaster You can send traditional USPS mail to the address you see
here.

| A Note About Facebook There are quite a few of our BHS '60 classmates that now have a Facebook page. Facebook is the number one
social networking website worldwide. It allows you to easily keep in touch with many friends at the same
time. It is a bit superficial, but fun. There are others from classes that were at BHS with us, those in
BHS '58, '59, '61, '62. People you know are joining all the time.

08/28/08 - from Bill Nisbet, regarding Nancy (Pedrick)(Smith) Mairs, BHS '60
Nancy Mairs: How I Became a Treasure
04/04/06 - from Charles (Chuck) Deering, '63
Bill: I am the brother of Ann Deering. She suffered brain damage as a result of an accident on New Year's Eve 1963/1964 as well as a lot of [other] physical problems. It was a hit and run accident by a car as she was walking home from the train. However, she persevered for many years and finally got married to Gary Lucas and lived in Clearwater, FL before she passed away from an apparent heart attack in 1994 or 1995. I do not have a copy of the obituary.
This is sad news, indeed, and a tragic story. Thanks for the information. Isn't it amazing how a pedestrian accident near a train station became a railroad accident? And also how serious injuries became a fatal accident? This is why I always check things out as carefully as I can. I was never able to locate Ann, so she probably never learned of this website, and what her classmates were up to. It is really sad. [Bill Nisbet]
On April 13, 2006, good 'ole Bill Shay, '59, our detective, provided me with a copy of Ann's Florida Death Index record that shows the DOD is May 6, 1994, in Largo, Florida. Thanks, Bill! [Bill Nisbet]
09/18/08: Further sad news. I saw in the September 1, 2008 "Salem News" that Charles (Chuck) Deering, '63 himself, passed away in The Villages, Florida, on June 9, 2008, after a lengthy battle with cancer. [Bill Nisbet]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~01/18/06 - from Beverly (Knowlton) Fournier
Hoping you can post a message on the BHS site...[I'm trying]...to find Nancy Chabot [maiden name] of either the class of 1959 or 1960. I forget if she was in the other 4th grade at Washington School, or was a grade ahead of me, but we were good friends until her family moved to California, and we gradually lost touch. She had cousins living in Beverly though.
Best regards, |
09/01/05 - Roberta (Sigman) Jones asked me if the daily, 2nd floor, 15 minute promenade prior to homeroom was invented by our class, the BHS Class of 1960? I have no idea, so I thought this would be a great question to toss out to the class. Roberta asks because her older brother does not remember such a thing when he was at Beverly High School. So...did we invent that?
Bill Nisbet (Webmaster) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~08/18/05 - From Joe Burke (brother), on Kathleen Burke
To the Class of 1960:11/04/09: Further sad news. I saw in the November 1, 2009 "Salem News", in Kathy Burke's obituary, that she was predeceased by her brother Joe. I have no further information. [Bill Nisbet]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~10/01/05 - From Rhoda Briggs '62
This picture of Mary Jane is her college grad [1964] picture. I know M.J. would be happy to know that she won't be forgotten by the Class of '60.
07/26/05 - From Rhoda Briggs '62, sister of Mary Jane (Briggs) Bampos
Mary Jane Briggs died of a rare form of cancer (liver) on Oct. 27, 1983 in W, Springfield, MA where she lived with her husband, Paul Bampos. They were married for six years. Paul is now deceased. She was age 41 when she passed away. Mary Jane was a graduate of UMASS in Amherst with a degree in elementary education and a minor in art. She was a charter member of Sigma Sigma Sigma at UMASS. For 19 years she taught fifth grade class in the W. Springfield school system, some years with the gifted children. Later she became the elementary art teacher. Her hobbies included traveling, oil and water color painting, ceramics, stain glass and gourmet cooking. She was on the school committee. The most remarkable thing about Mary Jane was the number of friends she had. She was never wealthy, but she had a wealth of friends. She is currently survived by her son, Neal Maillet of Calif, her sister, Rhoda Briggs of Danvers BHS '62, and her mother, Eleanor Briggs, age 90. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~12/19/03 - From Fred Gabriel:
Does anyone remember the big old train coming up out of the tunnel in the middle
of salem square, and the snow falling while you were standing in front of the
old sears and roebuck while the
choo choo puffed its way up the ramp? and the almys, and the planters peanut
man across the street giving out samples. the hustle of a little town at christmas
time, eating up by the progress of shopping malls. god. i would give anything
if someone had some pictures of salem in its hay day, during christmas . as far
as that goes, beverly, and all the little towns, i don/t think i like change after
you think of the wonderful , warmness, of the little towns cheer. and decorations.
can you think back of how much fun it was to sit at woolworths, or grants soda
fountain, having a root beer float, or a vanilla milk shake. and a hamburger,
and fries back then was just like mamma was out back in the kitchen. and to this
day i have never seen or met a better santa claus than charlie bucci, in the christmas
parade.!! God, we grew up in great era, and community.!! bill, do you think i
am feeling a little homesick, and melancholy? i do every christmas season. may
God bless our beverly high school alumni, and each and everyone who has been fortunate
enough to grow up in that era. and a merry christmas to all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12/07/03 - From Primilla (Bailey) Young:
Jack Delaria's notice caught my attention. So, I decided to check it out using the internet and this is what I found.
12/02/03 - From Jack DeLaria:
I remain well and working full time. My big news is that I'm about to be a grandfather for the first time. San Diego continues to be a great place to live and fortunately for us the recent fires did not seriously threaten our home. Last month, Bernard Menkes { proud graduate of the class of 48 } became my patient and it was great to share our mutual recollections of Beverly. Last week, I first learned that Beverly Hills, California was started by someone from Beverly. Does anyone know if this story is either true or apocryphal? Best Regards to everybody.
