55 Years in 2026 for the HPHS Class of ’71. It’s hard to believe! A Reunion Planning Group has been meeting via video calls every other week for the past month or two. Many past committee members have stepped up again: Kathy Smith Hallett (decorations), Gail Magnan Stanley (website, remote tech and memorials) Rita Stepka (restaurant liaison), Kenny Green (emcee and music), Diane LaChance Mendez (program design and printing), Maria Simao, Coordinator, Steve Solimene (Activities Chair Coordinator), Guy Clements, Bob Vallier Treasurer) and others have offered to help in any way needed. Reunion decisions so far:
Date: September 26, 2026
Time: 5:30 pm
Place: Casa Mia at The Hawthorne Inn, Berlin, CT for dinner and fun
Hotels: For those wanting to stay overnight, there are two hotels within one mile of Casa Mia, and many in the area. If there is interest, we can ask for a block of rooms at a reduced price at one of the hotels.
We’ll keep you posted on email, website and Facebook. We would also love to hear from you, especially if your contact information has changed, or you have contact information for classmates.
