Description
From the Salem News, Thursday, July 31, 2003, under Homecoming Tomorrow:
"Picnic in the Park: 5 to 8 p.m. at Lynch Park. A class reunion picnic for Beverly High
School classes of 1958, '59, '60, '61 and '62. Oldies concert by George Haile."
Actually, this year was better than last year (also rained out) even though this time it was raining
before anyone got there. I think the event was a success, considering the weather, because those that
showed up in the rain really wanted to be there. You can see everyone smiling in the images.
Dolores (Tognacci) McCallum came all the way up from Florida for this. There were
other people present of whom neither Paul nor I took a photo. Sorry, I do regret not having a photo of
everyone who was there. Perhaps someone can identify the single unidentified person? Thanks!
A few of us went over to George Haile, who is quite good as an entertainer, and
thanked him for his efforts. He was playing to a large, empty, rain soaked field, as the rest of us were
congregated in the parking lot over one hundred yards away. We could hear him quite well, just the same.
Thank you, George!

No BHS Class of 1960 funds were spent on this event.
Also from the very same Salem News, Thursday, July 31, 2003: "Who's a behind the scenes person
that everyone should know?
"The dedicated Kathy Healey. Healey has been a Homecoming volunteer longer
than anyone - 27 years. She began when she was working as a secretary at the Chamber of Commerce, which used
to run Homecoming, and has stayed with it ever since. She runs the raffle, which in a good year can raise as
much as $7,000 for Homecoming.
"'I just enjoy it,'" she said of her longtime involvement. 'I see people during Homecoming that I don't get to
see the rest of the year. It's a chance to socialize. Some people will only buy their raffle tickets from me.'"
Kudos to Kathy Healey, who is Co-Chair of our BHS Class of 1960 Reunion Committee!
