Does anyone know if Edison is having a 25th reunion? If so, please email the info to me.

Take care.

Born and raised in Elmira...moved to Daytona after the flood. Still have family and friends there. I know Elmira is totally different now but it's still "home" to me. I have some very old pics from the 1800s I'd like to share if someone could tell me how to put them on this site.

Remember so much about Elmira growing up there. A life where you never locked the doors and you could ride your bike anywhere without your parents having to worry about anything happening to you. Sooo much to do and place to go!

I have been in the Army reserves for over thirty years. After 911 2001 I went to Afganistan three times so far I have had some great jobs and worked with great Americans. I have retired from NYS. I presently work in the DC Area still in the Army on active duty. Last time I was back to Elmira it has changed a lot. Thats all I should say I will just remember it the way it was.

Still enjoy this website. Wish more people would write! I haven't lived in Elmira since 1969, when I married and moved to Syracuse. But I love returning to visit family and friends, and I will always consider Elmira my hometown. I retired from teaching in May, and my husband Dave retires at the end of next week --- and then we will head south for a few months' escape of the northern Indiana winter. We are looking forward to that. Would love to chat with anyone who would like to share remembrances of #2 School, St. Patrick's, St. Casmir's, George Washington, EFA, or my old neighborhoods -
upper Hoffman St. and all around Uncle Tom's and Horigan's on Davis St. Happy New Year to all.

Merry Christmas, everyone. I have been cleaning the house this morning, and I have been listening to Christmas carols. I got reminded of all the Christmases I experienced at Hoffman School as a little child.
What a wonderful and beautiful time of my life; the Christmas pagents, the chorus singing Christmas carols, the children all gathering in front of a Christmas tree singing both Christmas and Chanukah songs- it was the beginning of my assimilation into the American culture. I even remember all of us bringing small gifts to fill up boxes for the Red Cross to distrube to shut-ins. I remember all of my wonderful teachers, Ms. Jones, Ms. Hill, Ms. Ganey, Mrs. Twilliger, Mr. Moore, Mrs. Austin, Ms. Spencer, Mrs. Wood, Miss Arickian, and Mrs. McCormick, plus the gym, music, and art teachers, and of course our librarian. Those were times of my life that I always will remember and cherish, and this is a Christmas tribute to the memory of all those wonderful people, students and staff that were part of my life.
Merry Christmas, everyone and a Happy New Year too. God bless us one and all.
With fond rememberances,
Irene

Has anyone heard if Edison high school is going to have a 25 year reunion? Maybe we could get together at my house. Please contact me with any information.

If anyone remembers me I would like to hear from you.

Take care,

I left town in August of 2009 and while I don't miss the city/town, I do miss the landscape. However, the climate here is much better.

My husband, Mike, and I are are going to be grandparents for the first time in May. My mother, Koula Patros, the wife of the late Bill A. Patros, of the M & M Bar and Grill, is going to be a great grandmother for the first time. We are all so happy with this good news. Praise God!

Hello again. Thought I would update my last entry. I became a widow in 2003 when my husband Jim was killed on his was to work. I was living in Carlsbad New Mexico at the time. Stayed for three years and then felt I needed a change so off I went to Texas. I landed in Bay City about 55 to 60 miles from Houston and 17 miles from the Gulf Coast. I am a Special Education teacher in an elementary school...I enjoy what I do. I haven't been back home since I interned Jims ashes in 2005 at Grace Church. I just remarried in March of 2009 to a gentleman named Curtis. Life has taken me many places but I have no complaints. Where is the rest of the Class of 75 from Academy? There must be someone out there. God Bless and take care.

Penny

It's odd to post this here, but I lived in the area from '99 to '05 and miss it. Wanted to come home, but later found out that home isn't where you were born. Miss so much about the Twin Tiers area. Some how, some way, some day...

Has been a couple of years since I really looked through this site. This time in life finds me still in the south along with now having eight(8) grandchildren with all but one(1) within about six(6) miles from my home. Had to have a little plumbing work done on the heart in May. All of this taking place at Wake Forest Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC. Enough of that stuff. I see that the old hometown still has not changed much since i was last up there about two(2) years ago. Anyway must get up and get moving so drop me a line sometime..
