MAKE NOTE: A classmate and her family will be on ABC's Master of Champions in July.

 

Another classmate writes:

Y’all gotta check this site out!  Follow the classmate update link! KYLE is AMAZING!  I know what I am doing [... in July!]

I was watching some of the video clips on his web sites and listening to Sirius 22 – 1st Wave when The Ramones “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” blasted through the speakers!  WOW! – What an Experience.

I think the song could be renamed “Kyle is A Punk Copter!”  He is Amazing… I sent the links to a couple of friends of mine that fly Copters in the Army and Navy… I am anxiously waiting their reply! 

TAFN,

Joe Chromy, Jr.

"Hi, I wasn't a Raider (Pittsford-Mendon 1979) but knew quite a few folks from your school. ... This is hands down, the best alumni website I have ever seen. Having yearbooks back as far as you do is just fantastic!" -- a posting in our Raider Finder section.

Classmate Eric Fredenburgh has just released his first CD! Congratulations, Eric! Here's what a completely unbiased reviewer (also a former classmate) has to say:

 

"I just got a copy of Eric's band, 'Chef Eric Band', title: Today's Special.

It is really good, and I'm not saying that as a friend or classmate. It has a Southern rock flavor, with some blues and bluegrass intermixed. It brings a solid, almost 'roadhouse' feel to it, with lots of mood and texture. If you like the Allman Bros., Molly Hatchett, the blues, and original music, by all means check this CD out. It is well polished, and can carry it's own either driving, at home, or mixed in at a party."  -- SLB

 

Check out Eric's website at: http://www.chefericband.com/ for all the details!
