Graduated in 1950 from All Souls. We moved to Montclair and so I attended Immaculate Conception graduating in 1955. After high school I attended and graduated from St Peters College in 1959. After a brief tour as an Army Lt. I joined Western Electric(now Lucent Technologies) and spent 41 years there retiring in 2001. Lived in Glen Ridge,Denver,Shreveport La,and now for the last 24 years in Middletown NJ.
Married Fran Martorano from Jersey City in 1966 and have two married daughters and the third getting married in July of 2002.(after 3 colleges and 3 marriages I am almost broke !) Have one grandson and another on the way.
Always remember the basketball games on Sunday in Sacred Heart Gym in Bloomfield against Holy Name,Immaculate,St John's,and St Al's from Caldwell. Also remember the baseball games at Columbian playground,Soveral field and Watessing Park in Bloomfield.
Being an altar boy was also a special time with all the Latin prayers. Have attached a picture taken in 1949.
Would love to hear from any of the classmates from 1950.
Regards

Reconnect with "old" friends from the good old days!
I am stunned to say the least. I can't believe I accidently stumbled upon a website for Our Lady of All Souls! I went there from grade 1 though grade 8. I think I can even remember all the names of all the nuns we had. I would love to find out what happened to my "old" classmates. Any of the girls from 1950 grad class out there? Ann Smeraldo, Marie Brett, Betty Dunnigan, Barbara McLernon, Marcie Deacon, Jackie Castellano? I would enjoy hearing from any of our class. Please email me and let me know what you've done since 1950. Thanks.
