Dear Patti,

Should you wish the book without hassel, you might want to contact Xlibris at 888-795-4274.  there is also someone selling it on E-bay for $24.+  Shipping is free and the price should be the same as Xlibris.

To Betsy Frank,

Sorry getting back to you so late.

Should you wish to purchase my book, "Along the Way L'chium to life"  you may do so in one of the following manners:

1. Direct from the publisher, Xlibris, 888-795-4274

2.  From an honest merchant on E-bay.  just type my name into the search bar and look for the book that is selling for a little over $24.00 with free shipping.

It does appear, that Amazon no longer is an outlet.

Thanks for you interest.

Should you want an e-mail bookmark or postcard, just send me your e-mail again.  On both items the printed prolouge appears.

To John Myers,

A belated thank you for the kind words.

Well since everyone is promoting their books, I co-wrote a book on how to be a nursing faculty person. But then again, most of us are retired or partially retired :). Betsy

Betsy Dennis (Frank)

To Margery, I don't really remember Temple on Heights much but I do remember you in Miss Byrd's class. I am still friends with Bonnie Wilson Erickson, who was in Miss Byrd's class. Betsy Dennis Frank

Hey, where are my Park Synagogue pals? I just told my 13-year-old grandson how I never did learn to read Hebrew (shout out to Rabbi Ganuth at Temple Beth El) and in order to be confirmed at Park, persuaded Lauren Brahms to pretend she was me and take the reading exam. No one was the wiser. Hi Cheryl Kushner, whom I remember with great affection, as I do Patty and Betsy and Stewart (okay, I sort of remember you, Stewart). I’m a fiction writer and essayist, Jon Meyers, widely published in literary journals and major magazines and anthologies, with a story collection from Simon & Schuster. Revising a novel now. Proud to be part of the old lady literary collective. We’re all said to be writing “coming of death” novels. And why not?  Missing my giggling at Friday night services chum, Lauren Wyse, whom I met up with in NYC a long long time ago.

Betsy Dennis (Frank)

Lesley, Are you coming to the 55th reunion? BTW, the red door is gone from your house on Lomond. We drove by there in October. Betsy

Lesley Dormen

Betsy, I’m so glad that red door is gone! I don’t know about coming to the reunion. Makes me sad but we’re away in August and it’s tough to coordinate travel. If I finish my book, maybe I’ll give myself a treat!  Hope all is well with you, my friend.. 

Alaina Weisman (Zachary)

I'm jumping in after semi following recent conversations! Mea Culpa for the long absence.

I was a Temple on the Heights attendee and did get confirmed.  OMG all those parties, gifts, and thank you notes.  My family gave a hayride and many of you were there.  There STILL are photos to prove it. Marc Bieber was a Temple friend as well as SHHS.  His mother roped me into doing shows at the Temple and I so recall being very very sick and still Mrs. Beiber would not let me out.  At least my 2 piece suit with my mother's crystal necklace was good..  And then there's Florence Shapiro School of the Dance memories.  I was not in the cool Saturday group. Fridays and I think, Leslie Dormen ? , did we carpool and do the Draeger's thing?  

In addition to acting and teaching, I too have been writing all my life.  I"m published mostly as features for local papers, the occasional book review, some poetry, and in recent years a bit of playwriting.  A screen play took a top state prize and on my plate now is a sit com I've written as an homage to quirky New Mexico.  The pilot is finished and next up is filming a teaser.  I am very active as an actor here in surprisingly busy New Mexico with tv, film and theatre; all rooted in the drama program with Mr. Barner way back when!

Stewart M Flate

To Lesley,

Did we have a class together? Your name sounds so familiar, but I am at a loss to know from where.

Stu

Stewart M Flate

To those going to the 55th.  Someone please inform me what are the dates and the venue.

Thanks,

More information coming tomorrow about our Cleveland 55th Reunion, August 2 & 3, 2019!!

Evie

Marianne Coplan (Schapiro)

Hello everyone--I would love to include some kind of choir "reunion" for the August event. I'm thinking we could at least sing "The Lord Bless You and Keep You," and maybe one other song--I could try to send links to where you could purchase or download the music. I've also suggesetd to Evie that she look into having a piano  (maybe just a portable electric one) at the venue (or hotel, or whatever.) 

Cheryl Kushner told me at the last reunion that she'd love to sing with choir members again. I'm pretty sure Richard Bloomfield would participate. Who else would be interested?

Cheers to all--Marianne Coplan Schapiro

Joseph G Blake

Hope I did not miss the details about the 55th reunuion this summer.

I have booked time for a talk about the development of Shaker Heights at the Shaher Heights Public Library on Saturday August 3, 2019 at 2 PM. This is the same weekend as the reunion. I gave the talk at the Shaker Library in 2017. Some classmates heard it. I did my thesis in college about ot. Its now on line at the Cleveland Legacy Project. Here is the link if anyone is interested to read it.

Hope to see many of you this summer at the reunion.

SHAKER 1964 55TH CLASS REUNION UPDATE!!

Here's what you need to know!!  The price for Friday and Saturday nights (August 2 & 3) is $125, the same as the last reunion. The cost of Friday night alone is $70 and the cost of Saturday night alone is $65. Please make the checks out to Evie Braman and mail them to me at 696 Azalea Drive, Cleveland, Ohio 44143.  We neeed cash for downpayments so an early payment would be much appreciated by your Reunion Committee.

Friday night will be the night with the bigger dinner and a cash bar. The bar will only be taking cash unless they have changed their policy.  We will meet at 6:00 at Pinstripes, on the second floor.  Pinstripes, 111 Park Avenue, is a new restaurant located at the north end of a new shopping center called Pinecrest, located off of Harvard just north of 271.  There is an elevator down the back hall and valet parking across the circle in front of the restaurant.  Their phone number is 216-415-8010.  An easy way to get there is to take Orange Place south and turn in the entrance across from Bahama Breeze.  The parking lot is behind the restaurant.

Saturday night we will meet at 6:30 at Play, 5900 Mayfield Road, in the old unrecognizable Mayland Theater!  The entrance to our party room is on the right (south) side of the building and marked "Theater"  and the parking lot is right there.  There will be lots of great food available during the evening and a cash bar.

We have a group rates at two Beachwood hotels.  The Homewood Suites, 216-464-9600, 25725 Central Parkway and The Marriott Courtyard, 3695 Orange Place, 216-450-3303.  Check them out and see which one suits you the best, be sure to mention that we have rooms blocked out for the Shaker Class of 1964 Reunion for your great discount.

Your Reunion Committee has put together a great list of things to do and places to go in your spare time.  Please email me, EvieBraman@aol.com, if you would like a copy, Just put "Saturday List" in the Subject line and I'll email you a copy back. Joe Blake will also be giving his talk at 2:00 at the new Library (the former Moreland school) on Shaker Heights and the Vans - I've heard it and it's an excellent introduction to the financial empire of the Vans and the railroads they owned - including our own Shaker Rapid.  Joe will tell you how they developed Shaker Heights and you'll see a slide show of some of the houses - maybe your own!!

We're happy to hear from you with any questions and we're really looking forward to a great weekend!!

Evie and the Reunion Committee

Marianne Coplan (Schapiro)

Hi Evie--

First, FYI, it took me ages to find this message on this site. It would be great if there were a "search" option on the site and I could just find your posts by searching your name.

Second, I had put up a notice a few weeks ago about a having a little choir reunion within the celebrations this year. I had asked you (or thought I did), whether there could be a piano so we might gather and sing a couple of songs. Is that a possiblity? Do either of these two venues have or have access to a piano? (It could even be a small, portable electric one, I imagine.) I have had a few positive responses to this idea, and I would love to be able to pull off a small "reunion" within a reunion. Is it possible to get an additional small room (with said piano) for choir folks to meet for say 30 minutes?

And, perhaps there are other groups--sports, clubs, etc--that might want to do a similar special interest session? 

Also, can you enlighten us at to the character of each of these celebrations? Aside from the size, will there be a particular focus or theme of each party? Will there be any kind of presentation, official photos, etc? Is one of them more informal than the other?  

Thanks for any information you can provide for any of these questions!--Marianne

Gene (Skip) Schwerin
