Dear Friends and Fellow Alumni:
Here is the news that we have all been waiting for. The
Directory is finished! The printing, binding, etc. have been
completed and the directories are being mailed out. As most of
you are probably aware, Barbara Zacharia's brother Randy Fox,
Class of 1979, was killed in a car accident on Monday,
November 23rd on Long Island, New York. I know how hard this
has been for Barbara and the rest of Randy's family. If there
is any delay at this point in the mailing process, I know you
will all understand. On behalf of the entire "Rockaway
Community" we send our condolences and prayers to the Fox
family.

Dear Friends and
Fellow Alumni:
The news continues to be
very encouraging. Here is where we are as of the writing of
this update. The printing should be completed by Monday,
October 26. As many of you already know, Lenny Kohn, Class
of 1951 who is printing the Directory for the Alumni
Association, just lost his mother a few weeks ago. Needless
to say, this has delayed the completion of the project. Our
sincere condolences go out to Lenny and his family. Now back
at work, Lenny is confident that the collation and binding
of the Directories should be completed by Friday, October
30. On Saturday, October 31, a newly formed committee will
be spending the day mailing the Directories out. We wish to
thank the following individuals for volunteering and giving
of their time to make sure that the project is completed:
Alayne Lichtenstrahl,
Sharon Gabriel, Rhea Finkelstein, Barbara Brand, Kenny
Rappaport, Barbara Rappaport, David Fortunoff, Larry
Rubinstein, Janet Rubinstein, Rhoda Rosenman, Bob Rosenman,
Lois Meyer, Harvey Meyer, Warren Kramer and Barbara
Zacharia.
Just in case you were
wondering, we've been told that if you didn't receive your
Journal at the Sunday Brunch following the Prom last year,
your Journal will be mailed along with your Directory.
Also, please be aware of
the following information concerning the Directory:
The current Far Rockaway
High School Alumni Association dues which were scheduled to
expire in December of 1998 have been extended through June
30, 1999. At that time an addendum to the Alumni
Directory will be published with corrected information and
additional new listings. Dues will be payable for the year
1999 - 2000 in the amount of $20.00 for an individual and
$36.00 for a couple and can be paid in June, 1999.
If you want a Directory
but aren't currently an Alumni Association member you can
still receive a copy by mailing your dues to the Alumni
Association. That address is:
FRHS Alumni Association
Dept B-1 P.O. Box 375 Woodmere, NY 11598-0375
If you are not listed in
the current directory and would like to be included in the
addendum, please fill out the "On-Line"
form.
Sincerely,

Dear Friends and Fellow Alumni:
The news is extremely good. I am happy to report to you
that the Directory has been completed and has been delivered
to the Alumni Association in New York. From there it moved
on to the printer and is being worked on as of the writing
of this update. As many of you are aware, Carol Marston,
Class of 1956 and I have been extremely busy during the past
few weeks trying to keep our commitment to you that the
Directory would be completed on or about the first
anniversary of the reunion. IT HAS BEEN DONE. We have both
worked into the late hours of the morning trying our best to
put together a quality Directory and we believe that we have
accomplished that goal.
The printer has received finished, formatted pages, not
just a database. We decided that if we delivered "camera
ready" pages, the process would work much faster, and that
is just what we have done. The finished Directory was sent
via Federal Express on Tuesday, September 22 from California
and received by Barbara Zacharia in Woodmere, New York on
Wednesday morning.
Carol and I wish to once again thank all of you who wrote
to us expressing your confidence in our ability to get the
Directory completed. Your good wishes and support did a lot
to keep us awake during those long nights at the computer.
We are proud of what we have accomplished and look forward
to your comments once you have received your Directory. The
printer has indicated that the turn-around time for the
printing will be a week to 10 days. The Directories along
with the Journals will be mailed out from New York by the
Alumni Association. Please give them a few weeks before
trying to contact them about your Directory, as they will be
quite busy getting the mailing done. Remember that there are
2,467 alumni in the Directory and that is a lot of mail!
Please keep your "stuff" coming into the web site. Now
that the Directory has been completed, I will be
reorganizing the Rockaway web site and would like some new
photos, stories, and whatever else you can think to send.
Please tell any friends that may just be getting on line for
the first time, about the web site and encourage them to
list their information with us. Please also remember that
the Rockaway Reunion Web Site at www.farrockaway.com is
supported totally by the Alumni Association through your
dues. I will continue to do updates as often as I receive
new "stuff", so keep it coming in and we will be around for
a long time..............
Take care and write when you have a chance.
Sincerely,
Alan 'Skip' Weinstock, Class of 1963

REUNION HALL
IS NOW GONE
Reunion Hall was a site where any USA high school
could announce plans for upcoming reunions. It lasted
for many years, but finally the owner gave up the site.
If not for Reunion Hall, this website may not have
existed. It's where Skip and I first met back in 1995 and
found the first announcement of the 100th FRHS
anniversary, and is how, for two years, until 1997, we
were able to stay in touch with those who created the
reunion and those who planned on attending, which is why the
alphabetical page is called "rhlist.html."

As of today, 04/01/15, there are 
people
listed with the FRHS Online Alumni Association. When I
went to the reunion in 1997 there were 1,799 listings.
You guys are doing great! They're out there...round
'em up!!! Here's a link to the form. Please send
any new alumni listing or address updates to me by using
this form. No information will be sold or given out.

The comments you've sent along with
your listings are being included with your entries on
Skip's page. These listings are by class.
NOTE:
Please check your
entry for any errors and also check your graduation
year. Make the appropriate corrections to your listing
(or if you see someone you know listed incorrectly) and
please let me know via e-mail (or fill out a new

have received reports from our alums that some of the listed
e-mail addresses aren't correct even though they are brand
new to the list. If you need to make corrections to an
existing listing, please use this link:
