First off, Wendy, Cathy, Anita and Dawn, amazing job putting this together. Thank you for taking the time and caring enough to do this for our class. After reading Justines comments on the message board, I have to agree with her, we went to school with some pretty amazing people. I had a great time catching up with everyone. It was great to see how our class has become, dare I say, responsible adults. Hopefully, with the help of the website we wont have to wait another ten years to catch up with everyone. Thanks again, awesome night.
Joe, great seeing you I enjoyed talking with you and seeing all my old friends - it really is amazing what you forget after the years pass I hope to get together agan with some of you sooner then later Justine
Wow, wow, wow!! The reunion of our class has made a profound impact on me as a person. As I stated in a conversation today on the phone with one of our fellow alumni, that was one of the top 5 most incredible experiences of my adult life. Donna and I can not stop talking about it and the people we had the opportunity to see again. It is something like this, that makes me take a bit of a personal inventory and "checking of stock" if you will, of what really matters. Seeing so many people that we had some level of involvment with either while we were very young or all the way through to the end of High School was very sobering. For me personally and for a few others I have spoken to, it was almost on the level of a spiritual awakening. The memories that were allowed to come flooding back, even some that were painful were a welcom mat to a simpler time. A time where we felt somewhat invincible, like we could and were going to live forever. Now as adults, almost to the 40 mark, we all understand the fragility of life and how important it really is to enjoy every moment. It was such an amazing scene when first we walked in to that crowded room to see everyone interacting as if we were all back in the cafe again, like a murder of crows gathering in a field before Novembers end. For some of us, it was just a gathering of some old friends, and maybe even some enemies or rivalries, for that night, it was "all good". Every one of us will come away with a certain level of emotion from that evening. Beit great, so, so, or just OK, that is a personal choice. For me personally, it was nothing short of amazing and I thank you so much for the chance to be involved in that event. I hope to stay in touch with many of the people that I crossed paths with again and look foreward to creating a few new friendships with some of you that I never had before.
It was great to see everyone again and catch up, the night just went by too fast. A big thanks to our class officers Wendy, Anita, Dawn and Cathy for putting all of this together (and anyone else who helped). Good luck and continued success to our class.
What a great time I had! I've posted my pictures on my webpage at http://faculty.msmc.edu/bready - if you scroll down to new pictures you'll see a link to 'Roxbury Reunion'. If anyone is interested I'd be more than willing to add more pictures, or maybe this website could have pictures posted? It's wonderful to be back in touch with so many old friends. Maybe I shouldn't use the word old...lol!
WOW. It was so great to see so many old friends. I just wish the night did not go by so fast. There were so many people I wanted to talk with but before I knew it the night was over. KUDO's to all who organized the reunion. The night will be forever remembered by all. My email is rvbgiants@earthlink.net if anyone wants to get in touch with me. Take care and I hope it will not be another 10 years till I see you all. Rob Van Brunt
First off a big thank you to Wendy, Anita, Dawn and Cathy for all their hard work and time involved to make this happen. My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful evening. Time moved way too fast. It was really nice to catch up with some old friends and talk with everyone. Hopefully we'll all be able to stay in touch with the help of the website.
Thanks again to everyone who made this night happen and to everyone who came which made the evening special.

I just want to thank everyone who put the reunion together, it was great to see all of you and my husband and I had a wonderful time. It is amazing how we all changed but still stayed the same --- I really learned a lot about people that I did not know and I realized that I went to school with a lot of amazing people :)
Jen I was looking and looking at your pictures and thought, man-I should know who those two guys are-the first pics.
and then, BAM-it hit me- Pete and Jeff. Wow. I saw Pete all the time when he and Joanne were dating- I need to go back through the photos and see who else I didn't recognize.
sorry I missed the reunion! I was thinking about everyone!
the next one (25?!!) has to be in the spring or summer. Please?!
Glad to see so many happy faces- Kristen (rasper) Ruzicka
SO SORRY I missed the big night. I bought the air fare, the tickets, the dress... We had some last minute company. (the next one needs to be in Sept!!!!) All I have to say is "WOW!" YOU Mt. Arlington girls look great in the pics!!! Must be something in the water.(GLAD I WAS DRINKIN" IT!!) Keep the pics coming please! Miss ya ~MICHELLE
I just want to thank Anita, Cathy, Wendy and Dawn for putting this together! The whole weekend was amazing...and it went way too fast. It was great to catch up with friends that I haven't seen in many years!! I certainly felt like I continued the reign of being "most talkative"! LOL... I had a great time and I really hope that it won't be too long until we can get together as a class again! Thanks again...it was awesome!
Wendy, Cathy, Anita and Dawn - thank you so much for a great evening. I am so happy I made the trip from Minnesota - let's keep the website going - it rocks!
What a fun night!!! Anita, Dawn, Wendy and Cathy- Thanks for all of your hard work. Tony and I had a great time, and have been talking about it all week. It was wonderful catching up, and reconnecting with our Jersey roots. We've been in Maryland too long! Best to all- Nadine
The reunion was a total blast! Good times were had. It was wonderful to see so many faces that had vanished for several years. Hope some friendships are renewed and relationships can continue. I had a great time and a great big shout out to the organizers......they did a fantabulous job!!!
I had a great time, as did my wife, Susan from Roxbury 1986 graduating class. Really glad to have been able to chat with who I did get a chance to, and I wish we could have something somewhere where we could hang longer. Anyone have a barn and a field on a hot summer day/night? Seriously. This cold weather...stuffy bar scene stuff is getting old fast.
As a matter of fact, we do have a barn and a field, lots of em. But our livestock are off limits Ger, lol. Also couldnt agree more about the bar scene, but after about a six pack, it all blends together nicely.
Joe, great seeing you
I enjoyed talking with you and seeing all my old friends - it really is amazing what you forget after the years pass
I hope to get together agan with some of you sooner then later
Justine
