1997 | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 Denise Gallo Shortway <paperpals@ aol.com> Ocala, FL USA - Monday, December 25, 2000 at 15:13:51 (EST) Maplewood was a great town to grow up in! Looking back, it reminds me of Mayberry RFD. I attended Clinton school, SOJH, and Columbia class of '76. Since college, I moved to Alaska where I pursued my dream of the frontier and living closer to the edge but my mind still wanders back to Maplewood when I think of home. It's ben a number of years since I last visited but it seemed pretty much like I last left it. Mr C is still the best soccer coach in the world and Maplewood village still captures my childhood imagination. It had the 5 and 10 store with the horse ride in front, the hardware store with the smell of wood and of course Pearson's Mill not too far away. Maplewood village is still the greatest and you might pause and appreciate it for the way it brings your community together.
I look forward to my future in Alaska but I will always treasure my Maplewood roots. Hello. I grew up in Maplewood from 1972-89 and '94-96. Went to Tuscan, Maplewood Middle, Columbia. I remember singing the "Hallelujah Chorus" in Town Hall, dancing for the cast of "Sarafina," the band competition when Dunia called "Attention" and Dan called "Mark Time," and running through the sprinklers on the golf course (being chased off by the Green Hornet). I so took this place for granted during my misfit girlhood. Oh well, I'm a happily married newspaper editor now, and Maplewood is as beautiful as ever. Dave Lieb, Tom Rowan, Marya Burke, Chris Adinaro -- I hope you're all well and happy. Michelle Rosa Raybeck <parknsheb@aol.com> Kearny, NJ USA - Friday, December 01, 2000 at 12:29:59 (EST) For those of you from the class of 1970 who missed our reunion last night....you missed a fun time!

Sue Hunter Chynoweth <luckystr52@aol.com> York, PA USA - Sunday, November 19, 2000 at 21:32:04 (EST) It's good to know there are still places where we can appreciate individualities. Dilla Marville <mrsmarville@yahoo.com> Newark, NJ USA - Saturday, October 21, 2000 at 13:06:24 (EDT) that address is http://luckystar52.homepage.com Sue <luckystr52@aol.com> York, Pa USA - Monday, October 09, 2000 at 22:15:47 (EDT) Just wanted to say I am really looking forward to the reunion. Also I just finished my new version of my web page.....hope you all will visit. Sue <luckystr52@aol.com> York, Pa USA - Monday, October 09, 2000 at 22:14:49 (EDT) HI ALL!!! I graduated in 1995!!! I don't really miss much of it. However, I love Maplewood and the Flamigo Community Parties of Richmond Avenue!!!! Mary Zappo <Mary.Zappo@cnaunisource.com> Maplewood, NJ USA - Tuesday, September 26, 2000 at 15:06:18 (EDT) I didn't grow up in Maplewood but have lived here 15 years. I am thrilled that my children are able to grow up in such a wonderful neighborhood. I noticed that many messages in the Guest Book relate to trying to connect with old classmates. there is a great website - classmates.com that might be valuable in your search for lost classmates. Good Luck - John John Harvey <harveyclan@home.com> Maplewood, NJ USA - Wednesday, August 23, 2000 at 23:40:13 (EDT) No one ever really leaves Maplewood. How can you when you were part of Clinton School, South Orange Jr. High, and Columbia? Grunings,the football games, the Sweet 16 parties, the neighborhood, friends, and of course- WHO COULD EVER FORGET THE TEACHERS? Yes Ed, I remember your Dad. Mr. Reuther fixed a broken heel on my shoe one day. He asked me if me name was Lucille(LooseHeel)!!!! Thanks for the memories. Barbara (Rocco) Safonte <BARBARA29@msn.com> USA - Saturday, July 29, 2000 at 22:36:30 (EDT) I'm still looking for a friend I lost track of..She graduated in 1955.

Joan Montagna <JJMONTY@WEBTV.NET> Union, NJ USA - Saturday, July 29, 2000 at 10:12:59 (EDT) I'm from maplewood and I moved to Florida last summer and I would like to know why it is that there is almost no metion or pictures in this whole webpage of whats on the other side of springfield ave almost like it doesnt even exist? Elissa Arencibia <Shadow918@aol.com> pembroke pines, fl USA - Tuesday, July 25, 2000 at 14:36:23 (EDT) Hi, grew up in Maplewood, lived on Florida St., graduated in 1959. Would love to hear from anyone in my class, or any other class, who remembers me. Now live in California, before California it was Nebraska for 12 years. My husband is Pat Idler, lived on Maplewood Ave., went to Seton Hall Prep, and Seton Hall University. Adelay (Bopp) Idler <pidler@earthlink.net> Elk Grove, CA USA - Saturday, July 08, 2000 at 17:15:21 (EDT) me flamboyant/him stern and conservative. I thought I almost killed him right there in class. I drew a circular house, with no interior doors........hanging beads mind you (very "in" at the time) and he got sooooooo mad (no doors on the bathroom either) I reduced him to sputtering...and he just walked into his office and sat down. Mumbling something about why women shouldn't be allowed near a draft table! LOL! Well Ed, there is a God. Fast forward 30 something years later..... Your father made a profound impact on my life. I am a RE Developer here in the Bay Area. I have designed almost all of my projects, and when I don't, I am the lead designer that works w/the Architects. I am self-taught on CAD, and I have been nominated to win an award for a house I designed called "WindRiver House". Yes, it's bizarre (of course), but very beautiful. There is an artificial river running thru the house, (and foundations!) and licensed/seasoned Architects ooh and ahh over it. The bathrooms do have doors. I've had to compromise something! I don't know if your dad is alive or not, but he had a profound impact on my life....obviously. He was very "forward thinking" for his time...allowing a "girl" to enter his very macho den (sometimes I think he had second thoughts) but non the less, my love of designing spaces, figuring out how things work, are directly because of this man. He taught me how to see in 3D. I took a drafting clas w/engineers 11 years ago, again the only women.......and again laboring over widgets......the week we were let loose to create the object in 3D from one view.....all of the guys..just were stuck. I aced the class. Thanks to your dad. Also, I aced handwriting because he would become infuritaed if it wasn't just so..... Wow. I was just talking about him the other night at Starbuck's. About the beads...etc..... I hope this story touches your life somehow, becuase your dad deffinitely touched mine.
Warmly,
About Mr. Reuters from SOJH! Oh my God! Mr Reuters! I have the best story about him. With a wonderful ending. I was the 1st female in his drafting class. Walked-out/Sat in...etc.....whatever. Fought w/Mr. Parr...gave him all this feminist babble...out of sheer misery, he let me in. Mr. Reuters was willing to give me a try. I drove him nuts. I wanted to design buildings/rooms, he was trying to get me to draft Alexandra Dorian <alexkane@aol.com> San Jose, CA USA - Thursday, June 22, 2000 at 05:52:42 (EDT) Hi! I lived in Maplewood when I was 6 to 9years old.Someone remembering me? I was a student of Tuscan school and spent special time in Maplewood.I'm very happy to find this homepage. Kotaro Sena <sena.peri@dent.tmd.ac.jp> JAPAN - Monday, June 19, 2000 at 10:05:57 (EDT) does anyone know how i can get in touch with roberta grehl? she taught public speaking my senior year at columbia 1970....and more recently taught at the jr high. i would like to invite her to our 30th class reunion....but have no idea how to contact her. any help out there??? sue hunter chynoweth <luckystr52@aol.com> USA - Friday, June 09, 2000 at 23:14:45 (EDT) Each time upon entering Maplewood Online's Guest Book, I'm amazed at the lack of activity at a site that is very unique, as is the community that it represents. I must also include the chat page, which for some unknown reason also suffers from the same condition known as lack of use. Having moved from town only a short time ago, depending on Maplewood On-Line for information right now is not an option, guess we'll have to depend on the News-Record on-line source for that. But miracles do happen, so let's see what happens in the future. Maplewood, as always, does rise to meet any challange. Steve Kaufmann <Capt113ret@aol,com> Monroe Township, NJ USA - Tuesday, May 23, 2000 at 22:05:06 (EDT) Who remembers Tony at Roman Gourmet? You know the pizza place next to the movie theater that Mr. Brooks, the science teacher owned? I graduated in 1977, and am looking to hook up with Joe Cadigan. Anyone know where to reach him? Gregg Clayton <were9@gateway.net> Somers Point, NJ USA - Friday, May 12, 2000 at 16:57:07 (EDT) Wow, what a trip down memory lane. I grew up in South Orange but have many fond memories of Maplewood. Who can forget Memorial park July 4th celebrations or little league games there? If only we could go back... CHS clas of 1977 Ken Gantz <kgantz@iglou.com> Louisville, KY USA - Monday, May 01, 2000 at 00:36:10 (EDT) Maplewood brings back some great memories. CHS '75, the boys the Maplewood pool etc. Does anyone know if there will be a reunion for the class of '75? If so, I would really like to know. Thanks, Bill Bill Edward <bedward@massed.net> marshfield, ma 02050 USA - Friday, April 21, 2000 at 15:59:25 (EDT) Make that Class of '75!

I received this information about this site today from Larry Stone, one of my best friends when we lived in Maplewood in the 50's. We graduated from CHS,1960 and have kept in touch all these years. I used to live on Ridgewood Terrace (13)across the street from Sue Denman, what fine memories! In the "site" I haven't found anything about Boy Scout Troop 2. Is it still together? Growing up in Maplewood was great. Going to "Grunnings" or up to Don's drive in or Curly's in the village. My two brothers (Russ & Bob)and I all worked at the Maplewood Theatre. Maplewood, what great memories, thanks for the guestbook! Rich Davey <sadrad13@prodigy.net> Burnsville, MN USA - Wednesday, April 19, 2000 at 10:44:07 (EDT) Where is everyone......never seem to be able Goodolddays USA - Sunday, April 16, 2000 at 12:20:01 (EDT) Where is everyone that graduated in 1954? Never see anyone from that year......Where is everybody?? Come on and write. Would love to hear from someone...... Joan {Bender} Montagna <JJMONTY@WEBTV.NET> USA - Monday, April 10, 2000 at 13:01:57 (EDT) I graduated from Columbia High School in 1950. Hi Roy. Lois Nunn Teagarden <lteaga@aol.com> USA - Friday, March 31, 2000 at 12:59:52 (EST) Hi Maplewood - This is a great website - Haven't been back to Maplewood since my mother's death 11 years ago, but I still have nostalgia for the town. After growing up in Maplewood, and my father being the judge here when he was killed in an Airline Accident in 1958, I still vividly remember many of the good times we had. My brother, Grant, and my sister, Holly, still reminise quite frequently about all the good friends and times we enjoyed here. After retiring as an Airline Captain, I have continued to reside in Texas, which has been my home for the last 30 years. I still think about Maplewood quite often, and miss the friends, experiences, and the delightful setting of the town. Thank you for providing a wonderful website for all of us to enjoy. David C. Trauth <dtflash@flash.net> Plano, TX USA - Wednesday, March 29, 2000 at 02:26:40 (EST) Trying to find an old friend, her maiden name was Connie Brady and she graduated CHS in 1963.

Was at Maplewood Middle then went to my sophmore year at CHS. Is a great website for a great town. Miss the weather and the trees and the parks. Been back a few times when I was Navy recruiter in Morristown, but will always try to go by the old Roman Gourmet in the village Richard Jones <rcajones@netzero.net> Vista, Ca USA - Thursday, March 16, 2000 at 02:02:47 (EST) Hi i lived in Maplewood for my first 30 yrs. Loved it then and still love it. Looking for some old friends, Kathy Conroy, Debbie Straus, Kathy Richards. Please let me know if anyone knows where they are. Lori Jacobus Crawford <slcraw675@aol.com> Saraland , Al USA - Tuesday, March 14, 2000 at 15:14:29 (EST) i would also be interested if anyone knows where the curcio's are. i was friends with david and mark. and to all the class of 1970....a 30th reunion is in the works, so if you have been MIA in past years, please email me with your address so you are included in the mailings! sue <luckystr52@aol.com> dallastown, pa USA - Friday, March 10, 2000 at 21:18:57 (EST) Really nice Web site! Thanks to Peter Powers for letting me know about it. I actually grew up in South Orange (Vose Ave), and graduated in the CHS class of '67. There were 2 'jeff williams' in that class; I'm the one from stage crew, Cheudreuts band, beer bashes, etc. I moved to CA in '68. Haven't been back to NJ since 1970 or so, and quickly lost touch with most NJ friends after that, having only recently reconnected with a few of them (via the wonders of the Internet, mostly). Found a few familiar names among this site's CHS grads lists, though, and will no doubt get in touch. Still wondering whatever happened to Rise Blumenschein, Jamie Coughlin, Randee and Lauri Getz, Larry Curcio (all CHS grads from '67, '68, or '69) or really any of the other folks I hung out with back then (can't remember all the names - too many beer bashes, I guess). Can anybody help out?
