STUYVESANT ’57 FIRST ARIZONA REUNION MAR, 2018

Here are the details, mark your calendar.
The first Arizona Reunion was held March 21st, 2018 at 11:30A.M.
Kitchen 18;  10211 N Scottsdale Road;  Scottsdale, AZ
telephone 480-284-8001

The Arizona Review

The first ever class of ‘57 reunion was held at “Kitchen 18” in Scottsdale, Arizona on March 21, 2018. Harvey lives in Phoenix, Herb drove up from Tucson where he resides as a “snowbird”, and the Silverbergs flew in from Florida to visit their son in Scottsdale.

We sat for three hours and only stopped talking to swallow our lunch. We had a great time describing our lives from the time we graduated in 1957 until the present. We spoke a bit of old Stuy, our subway adventures (all three of us commuted from Brooklyn), and the “good old days”.

Harvey went to CCNY (uptown and downtown!) for degrees in chemical engineering and business and held an interesting variety of great jobs. Stan went to Brooklyn Polytech and NYU for degrees in electrical engineering and law to eventually become a patent attorney. Herb went to CCNY and the University of Buffalo for degrees in biology leading to a professor of biology position at the University of Calgary.

We know that there are other Stuyvesantians in Arizona who were unable to attend but we look forward to meeting them next winter in Scottsdale or Tucson.

Best wishes to the other members of the class of ‘57 from

Harvey Shrednick
Stan Silverberg (and Hazel)
Herb Rosenberg

Wives and significant others were invited, of course.

STUYVESANT ’57 NEW YORK REUNION MAY 11, 2016

Stuyvesant Alumni -Class of ’57 Get together May 11, 2016 Cottage Restaurant

Seventeen of us met to discuss our 60th reunion and enjoy a convivial dinner.

Charlie Rodman acknowledged Ron Pinkus’ diligence and hard work to maintain and enhance our class lists and website. He also extended our collective good wishes to Louis Cardona who is making a difficult recovery from illness and Alan Aronson, Gerry Newman, and Jerry Levkov who are having medical treatments.

We have a very comprehensive mailing list and a lot of continuing interest from our classmates. Julian Jacoby will open a federal EIN and a bank account shortly. The account’s purpose will be solely to fund the reunion. The Stuyvesant Parents Association has been contacted regarding continuation of our annual legacy scholarship. Excess proceeds from the reunion will likely be provided to the parent’s association, a group that raises and disburses funds for Stuyvesant students.

STUYVESANT ’57 SOUTH FLORIDA REUNION JAN 12, 2016

On Tuesday January 12, 2016 a dozen or so Stuyvesant alums
from the Class of 1957 braved the unusually foul weather in the Sunshine State to gather at Madison’s New York Grill and Bar in Boca Raton, Florida. This was the first ever South Florida group get ­together for the alums and was all thanks to the inspiration of Ron Pinkus who was sojourning for a month in South Florida. While there have been several reunions ‘up north’ for those residing in or able to travel to New York, those of us now residing in Florida and unable or unwilling to leave the area have not had the good fortune of being able to participate in a ‘local Class of ’57 event’ here.

This changed for the better when we all got together for a table d’ hote luncheon and gathering of the clan. One of our alums, I believe it was Leonard Gootblatt, fortuitously brought along his stuy yearbook, looked at my picture and said,­ “I would recognize you and look at that, you even signed my yearbook page”. “Yes, Leonard,” I replied, “believe it or not we were friends back then”. Alas, I had not seen Leonard nor any of my other eleven or so classmates sitting at the table since our graduation in 1957. As might be expected, we traded stories about our experiences at Stuyvesant and with the various Stuyvesant teachers we all loved and/or disliked profusely. Specific reference was made to our then Principal, Dr. Leonard Fliedner, and his interaction with the students, especially at the time of what was referred to as, ‘the Student Strike’.

We took turns, bringing each other up ­to ­date on our respective lives since leaving Stuyvesant – all our adventures and
misadventures. We also noted the absence of some of our classmates who were no longer with us. Before we knew it, our
time was up and OUR STRONG BAND parted ways yet another time. I personally enjoyed this albeit brief reunion and hope that
another one can be arranged before too long.
Stanley J. Silverberg – Class of ’57.

Stuyvesant Déjà Vu

It happened so long ago and yet it seems like yesterday. High School, maybe more so than college, is such a big part of one’s growth curve as internal and external changes seem to follow an exponential trajectory. There is a chasm between who we are as a senior and who we were as a freshman. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting some of my fellow Stuyvesant alumni and briefly revisiting those special days. Over Chinese food and lively conversation I closed my eyes and it was yesterday, We all seemed to be projected back to those memorable years. In our heart of hearts I believe none of us really changed that much, and we sensed it as memories surfaced over rice dumplings. We knew we were fortunate to grow up at a wonderful time in our world and for us the world was our oyster and we woke up to the American dream. Pleasantries punctuated the conversation but they never detracted from the warm feelings that we experienced on 15th St and First Avenue once upon a time.
