My three sisters Barbara, Mary, Patricia (Patty) and my brother Frank, along with myself all graduated from OLAS.
I went to Irvington Tech HS and graduated in 1966. In 1968 I was drafted into the US Army and discharged in November 1969, after returning from Viet Nam. I joined the East Orange Police Dept in Sept 1971 and retired with the rank of lieutenant in October 2001. I will pass this site along to the rest of the family. Keep me informed. Thanks.

John at recent card game with the Boyz of '62
Feb. 9, 2002
Hello to all the alumni of OLAS. I am a member of the class of '62 and the youngest of 3 who went to All Souls. My sister Mary Ellen was the oldest followed by Michael.
I work for JP Morgan Chase as a programmer for Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corp in Iselin N.J. I was an Independent Consultant for many years before joining JPM. I am a VietNam veteran who was stationed near Duc Pho part of the Americal Div. heavy artillery along the central highlands 68/69.
I helped organize the reunion that was held a few years back at the Friar Tuck Inn in Cedar Grove. I have the mailing list of people that were contacted at the time to see if they wanted to attend. The list has about 450 names by year of graduation, from the first class circa 1930's through the early 1990's. If you are interested in finding a long lost fellow classmate or have other names you may want to add please contact me at jagiblin@earthlink.net.
The reunion really was a great time; it was too bad that at the last minute so many people signed up and were turned away. We had planned on having the entire facilities (500 people) but we had to commit 6 weeks before and at that point it didn't seem we would have that many.
I am in contact with Anthony Marinello who has contact with Porzio, Tunnero, and Lucianno.

Well, I am CRASHING this site!
Though I am NOT a graduate of All Souls, I did attend from kindergarten thru 4th grade...why did I leave, well, Sister Rita told my parents in 4th grade I should be in a smaller class so I would have more, personalized, attention.... So I went to Carteret School in West Orange...YES, I became a "public schooler" headed for HELL, as ALL public schoolers were...isn't that what the Nuns told us?
So, where am I today?
I am a college administrator in Central Jersey, Toms River, and a certified Psychotherapist.
Am I going to HELL, only time will tell...
I keep in touch with Jimmy Giblin, Anthony Marinello and John Porzio from my OLAS days. I would LOVE to see some others, so keep me in mind for any reunions...as long as a "public schooler" is invited.

It was really great to see this site and to remember all our classmates. Brings back many memories.
After graduating in 62 I attended CJ Scott and then EO High.
I then was employed at NWK. Airport as a Receptionist where I met my husbund. We married in 69 and have 3 children, Stephanie, Michael & Dawn.
We lived in West Orange for 27 years and moved last April to East Hanover.
I keep in touch with MaryAnn Creran and have seen MaryAnn Scioscia over the years.
Looking forward to the next reunion and seeing everyone again.

It was great reading all the messages from the many OLAS graduates. After graduating in 1962, I attended EOHS and went on to graduate from Seton Hall University in 1970. I am now a programmer/analyst with ARI Corporation in Mt. Laurel, N.J. I am married to Karen from Ashland, Ma. We met back in 1976 when we both worked for Honeywell. I've only been married for 4 years(1st marriage too!) no children. I was a little slow with the marriage thing. We own a home in Clinton, N.J. I still stay in touch with Pete Luciano, Ed Dougherty, Anthony Marinello, John Porzio and Jim Luciano.
I'm looking forward to the next reunion...it was great seeing everybody at the last one at the Friar Tuck.
I'd like to hear from anyone from the class of '62 or friends from OLAS any class. BTUNNERA@ARIFLEET.COM
or call me at (856) 778-1500 ext 4450 (work).

Hi to everyone from the Class of 1962. It was really great hearing from Jim and finding out what's been happening. I'm very excited by the thought of a reunion, since it's been 31 years since I moved from NJ to MA.
After OLAS I spent 2 years at EOHS and then 2 at CJSHS.
I'm the mother of 3 daughters, 32 year old twins and an 18 year old who just started college in Maine, I also have 2 step-daughters and 2 granddaughters. I am divorced and remarried and have been working in the educational field for almost 25 years. The past two have been at an agricultural high school where I get to spend a lot of my time playing with plants and animals.
Hope to see you all in November!

How exciting to be in touch with friends from OLAS once again! I am really looking forward to our class reunion in November of 2002. Has it really been 40 years?
I have been a Realtor for the past 27 years and am presently working for Weichert Realtors in Clinton.
I service the Hunterdon/Warren County areas.
I live in the small Town of Belvidere, Warren County, NJ. That's where the Pequest & Delaware Rivers meet. I own a wonderful Victorian home here. My Mom who is now 82 and totally healthy lives with me. We have lived here for 3+ yrs. and I am presently the Chairperson for Victorian Days in Belvidere which is a 2 day event held in September on our Public Square. I am also the chairperson for Riverside Park which will be built in the center of our town next to The Pequest River. This town is full of history and many of descendants of original families are still in town or in the area.
Well that is a short update of my current life which is a very happy one. You're welcome to email me!

Hello class of 62. This is a great idea for an ALL SOULS web sight. I was very happy that JIM GIBLIN called and let me in on it. It would be wonderful to see all the class of 1962 once again. I graduated from ST. Vincent's Academy and started working in Public Service in 1966. I met my wonderful husband Gene and we were married in 1971. We have two great sons, Anthony is 28 and Michael is 24 and we are proud grandparents of Nicholas 13 months and Mathew who is 7 months. We owned a lovely home in Maplewood for 23 years but relocated in Whippany in 1997 in a beautiful area. That's it for now, I would love to hear from my old classmates. Hope you all are well and happy. Linda Flavell -Thomas
