Torrington CT High School, Class of 1959
   
Before being used to house high school classes, the building was used for elementary school classes, probably as early as the 1860s. It is difficult to determine exactly when it began use as a high school but since the first THS graduating class was in 1889, I think it would be safe to say that it was being used for high school classes from circa 1885 to 1913. The building was destroyed by fire on May 24, 1913
This is the Official Web Site of the Torrington CT. High School, Class of 1959
Original Class Size was 292. Deceased estimated now at 85. Current Surviving Class Size = 207 +/- (As of 11/17/19)

The Back Nine Of Our Lives
Thanks to Alan Mackenzie ! Back Nine - Fabulous This is one of the best emails I’ve read in a while: no politics, no sex, and no “axes to grind”, just food for thought!

I FIRST STARTED READING THIS EMAIL & WAS READING FAST, UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE. I STOPPED AND STARTED OVER READING SLOWER AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD. THIS EMAIL IS VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING. MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK.READ SLOWLY! AND THEN IT IS WINTER

You know... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young and embarking on my new life. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.

But, here it is... the back nine of my life and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that I was only on the first hole and the back nine was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is... my friends are retired and getting gray... they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change. Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant.. but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd become.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I fall asleep where I sit!

And so... now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!! But, at least I know, that though I’m on the back nine, and I'm not sure how long it will last... this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over. A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not on the back nine yet... let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!! Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether you're on the back nine or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life.... so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember.. and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!

"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.


LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY! HAVE A GREAT DAY! Remember "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. LIVE HAPPY IN 2020 !

LASTLY, CONSIDER THIS: ~Going out is good... Coming home is better! ~You forget names.... But it's OK because some people forgot they even knew you!!!

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything like golf. ~The things you used to care to do, you aren't as interested in anymore, but you really don't care that you aren't as interested. ~

You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV 'ON' than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep". ~

You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.. ~

You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?".. ??? ~

You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!! ~

What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~

Everybody whispers. ~

You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear. ~~~

But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!! Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!! It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.

 A Special Chair For Our Special Chairman !
 It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The photo above certainly confirms that !

This afternoon, December 14, 2019 at 4 PM, I arrived at the home of Don and Donna Marciano along with the delivery team from Southworth’s Furniture. They were delivering the Power Recliner/Lift Chair that Don had picked out just a week ago. They set it up and Don had the opportunity to sit in it, try out the buttons, and get comfortable. The look of satisfaction and happiness on his face, was priceless.

I was very honored to have been there, on behalf of the committee, to present Don with this chair, along with a bank check, made out in an amount in excess of the cost of the chair. Another surprise for Don ! As promised at the beginning, and in the interest of Don’s privacy, I will divulge no numbers and no names of those who contributed. Every donation had a special meaning. I want to tell you that the response from this class was far beyond expectations, yet, it was so typical of the kind and generous group that we are.

Some statistics: I sent out approximately 148 emails, and around 20 via postal mail. 87% opened that first email, equating to about 108 individuals. We received a total of 94 checks of various amounts. We accomplished this entire process in just about two weeks !! Incredible !!


You know, I spent over 35 years of my life helping total strangers as part of Torringford Volunteer Fire, Harwinton EMS, and Fire Police, plus, all my years in broadcasting raising funds for Christmas Village and other organizations. For me, it was always great feeling of satisfaction helping others ! However, none of those can compare with the feeling I had being there, when Don received his chair, his check, and his opportunity to look at the many, many, cards and notes of best wishes from his classmates;..his "people" ! It will take him many days to read through all your heartwarming comments !! Best feeling ever!!

Classmates, all of you should feel great satisfaction in knowing what a great and meaningful thing you have done !! Don had written his note of thanks. It is shown below.

There truly are not words to express how humble I am by your generous gifts, but as it would not be possible to personally thank each and every one of you, I am writing this email that is certainly no less sincere. The lift chair, and the additional, unexpected funds, will greatly improve my quality of life and will be a continual reminder of your generosity, and really illustrates why I’ve always felt that the Class of ‘59 was the best class ever !!! Most sincerely,”
Don

Thank you, Class of 1959, you ARE the best !! Mission Accomplished !! God Bless You, Don Marciano !!

On behalf of your Reunion Committee; Art Frigo, Elaine Kules Berry, John Cellerino, Barbara Krieger Dobos, Roger Fulton, Heather Yale Gromko, Joyce Hock Leifert, Doramae Bray Iffland, Rich Knapp, Gretchen Muller Ross, Pat Cable Thompson, and Jack Wallace.
THANK YOU ALL !!!

NEXT REUNION / 80TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION: SATURDAY, 9/18/21, FAIRVIEW FARM GOLF CLUB, 12:30-6:00 PM WITH BUFFET DINNER
 We honor our Committee Chairman, DON MARCIANO, For Nearly 6 Decades Of Service !!
 
 A SURPRISE PARTY FOR DON---MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !
I wanted to update you all on the progress of our campaign to provide Don, a well deserved token of appreciation from our class. Once again, this class has proven its uniqueness, for being exceptionally caring, generous, thoughtful, and considerate. What a group !! I'm so proud to be a part of this class and the reunion committee ! We have received sufficient funds to be confident in our ability to purchase that special power recliner/lift chair. Yesterday, 12/6/19, we surprised Don..(boy did we ever !! ) at Tony's restaurant where we know he always goes for lunch. When he walked in, we were all seated as you see us in the photo above. To pull this off, I collaborated with Don's Cousin, John, his wife, Donna, and the staff at Tony's. Don was presented with a gift certificate for the chair, a framed copy of our presentation comments, a letter from Art Frigo, Class President, and a well-timed/planned, phone call from Art as well. Don was so taken and so shocked the he was almost speechless. While walking to our cars, he said to me; " Jack, you have no idea how much that chair will mean to me"
Class of 59, Mission Accomplished !!

Great photo of classmate Will Revaz in the Waterbury Republican. Will has had a great colllection of Model T's over the years and participates in events all over the country. Way to go Will, lookin good !!! 060319

Remember CLASSMATE WARNER SANKMAN ? (Forth from left) Really good lookin guy in our class, pretty quiet. Today at age 78 +/-, he plays in a band out there in Vegas !!The name of the band is "Stuck In Reverse". We are a member band of The Southern Nevada Bluegrass Music Society. The Lady in the middle is Peggy Ruesch who with her husband Jan, the bass player, founded the band about 15 years ago. I joined them four years ago as the dobro player and singer. The banjo player Jeff Weaver has been with the band for 5 years and the newest member Jim Damele joined us on mandolin about a month ago. Jim and I have played together in a couple of other groups since I moved to Las Vegas almost seven years ago. Peggy and I also perform as a duo called "Denim & Lace" doing classic country music. We play mostly at festivals, special events, charities like the Vet's Home, and private parties. We do it strictly for fun. As they say, "there are tens of dollars to be made playing bluegrass music" ?? Thanks Warner, I have your music and will play as part of our "Classmate Entertainment" at the 60th Reunion.

MEET OUR VERY SPECIAL GUESTS FOR THE 55TH THS CLASS OF '59 REUNION !!! THE FULL SHOW !!
 PLEASE NOTE: THE REUNION IS COMING UP FAST. TIME NOW TO START LOOKING AND MAKING RESERVATIONS FOR FLIGHTS, HOTELS ETC.
 Hello Classmates, Following my last solicitation for inputs on the upcoming reunion, I have received many nice comments and suggestions, especially for plans for the Friday evening portion of our weekend.
The overwhelming suggestion was for a quiet evening at ONE location, with NO formal program, entertainment etc. Just a nice night to meet, greet and catch up.
To that end we have an agreement with Bogey's at the Greenwoods Country Club. No tickets or formalities required. Just show up, order food, snacks etc from their "Pub" menu, and have a drink at the cash bar. The rest of the weekend is pretty much all set.

Saturday.. the big event, at the Warner / Nancy Marine Theater. Doors open at 4 with a buffet catered by Chatterlys and a cash bar. We'll need to be in our seats in the theater by 7PM to start the festivities. The Bronx Wanderers will go on at 7:30 for their full show, which should conclude at about 9:30. After which, you'll still have time to mingle in lobby until around 11 PM

Sunday is set at the beautiful Fairview Farms in Harwinton, for their great Brunch…more time to visit in a spectacular setting. Check out their latest web site and check out the video from their home page, www.fairviewfarmgc.com

Please start planning now for a wonderful weekend in CT., September 26-28, 2014 !! Please spread the word to those who do not have email. We'll catch up with them by postal mail after the first of the year if not before. We look forward to seeing everyone again !! Best, Jack, (On behalf of the THS Class of 59 Reunion committee, Don Marciano, Chairman.)
 LISTEN TO A LIVE RECORDING OF OUR ACTUAL GRADUATION, JUNE 1959, BROADCAST OVER WTOR, WITH THE VOICE OF THE LATE AL EYRE.

THIS IS TRULY A SPECTACULAR PROJECT, CREATED BY CLASSMATE WILLARD REVAZ. Will had actually supplied me with the audio clips a couple years ago, but I was never able to get then to translate to the web site without gaps. Will has accomplished this using YouTube and it's absolutely amazing. His comments are below, and just below his comments, is the link to "YouTube". Just click on that link, turn up your volume, close your eyes and visualize all of us at the Warner that fateful night. I'm sure the voices you hear will sound very familiar !! THANK YOU, WILL !!!

PS: My first radio broadcasting experiences were at WTOR when the studio and transmitter site were down in a hole on Perkins Street. Al gave me my start in broadcasting, and he was truly a unique and dedicated individual !!! Listening to his voice, sure brought back some great memories. .....Jack

 Hi Jack, It's been a long time coming, but I finally was able to get the WTOR recording of our graduation uploaded and online on uTube. Please check it out on the link beow and if you see fit, could you post it somewhere on the reunion Web page for all our classmates to see and hear. They can also find it by searching uTube for: "THS Class of 1959 Graduation Ceremony". I didn't have enough pictures to post along with the entire audio, so I took the liberty of posting some pictures I took at the 7052 reunion also. Even so, the audio goes on for another 35 minutes or so, mostly awards presentations. Thanks in advance for your efforts in keeping the GREAT web page up and running and I hope my enhancement will be welcomed by our classmates. Looking forward to another teriffic reunion this year, Willard Revaz '59

 HERE WE GO AGAIN !!! 55th REUNION PLANNING UNDERWAY !
Where does the time go ??? It seems like yesterday that we were planning the great 50th and our "Project 7052 Reunions, and now it's time for #55 !!! The dates are set for September 26-28, 2014, now less than a year away !! We met for the first time last night (9/30/13) at the home of Heather Yale Gromko to start to work through the details. Saturday night, September 27th will be the main event, with the BRONX WANDERERS full show at the Nancy Marine Theater, preceeded by a buffet in the lobby, just like we did for the 50th. That will be a great night for all ! We also recognize the need to make this reunion very cost effective, based on the state of the economy, and the fact that we are not getting any younger !! Hence, we are considering less formal activities for that Friday night, and are looking into that beautiful Sunday Brunch at Fairview Farms, which everyone seemed to really enjoy. Nice quiet time, great food etc before departure. I'll be updating everyone as we proceed, but please mark your 2014 calendars for these dates. We look forward to seeing everyone again !! Please spread the word !
