  • Who Was Your Favorite Teacher?

    I have added a new feature to our website. Check it out and be sure to send me an e-mail about your favorite teacher.

    I told you about Miss Buzaid in the last issue of this newsletter and Janice Beeghly tells us a little about her favorite teacher, Mr. Charles Phelps, in this issue.


    Message Board

    There has been a whole bunch of spam and nasty messages on our message board, so I have made some changes.

    First of all I have password protected the message board. You have to enter user id and password in order to view the message board.

    I previously sent out the user id and password in an e-mail. If you did not receive it send me request for password.
    cmmdtp@gmail.com

    Secondly: There will be a random code that appears that you must type in before posting or replying to a post.

    I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, but it is the only way to control the spam. I have removed all of the spam and nasty messages. Hopefully these measures will help keep the message board clean so we may continue to enjoy it.


    Obituary


    Minck, Marguerite M.
    Marguerite M. Minck, 78, of Danbury, passed away peacefully at Pope John Paul II Health Care Center, on Wednesday, December 6, 2006.

    Marguerite was born in Danbury, September 27, 1928, daughter of the late Charles and Mary (Kelley) Minck. She was a graduate of Danbury High School, class of 1946 and graduated from Albertus Magnus College in 1950, where she received her Bachelor Degree and then went on to receive her Master's Degree from Fairfield University in 1960. She taught in the former New Street School and then at Danbury High School, from 1951-1988, where she taught Math and Latin. Later she taught at Western Connecticut State University, from 1997-1998. She had received numerous awards for civic, education and volunteering and was a lifetime member of St. Peter Church.

    Marguerite is survived by three brothers, Edward J. Minck, of Danbury, Charles L. Minck, of South Carolina and John M. Minck, of Vero Beach, Fla.; three sisters, Elizabeth Laws, of New Fairfield, Virginia Moody, of Sandy Hook and Janet C. McCormack, of Kensington; and several nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Peter Church, on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Burial will be in St. Peter Cemetery.

    There will be no calling hours. Green Funeral Home, 57 Main St., Danbury, was in charge of arrangements. Contributions in her memory may be made to a charity of one's choice. Published in the News Times on 12/7/2006.


    My Favorite Teacher
    Mr. Charles Phelps

    My favorite teacher was Mr Charles Phelps- he was my English teacher in my junior year- I was an awkward, shy, unpretty 16 year-old but he convinced me that I could be a great writer- the knowledge that I could write sustained me through the painful adolescent years and my college career. Whenever life knocked me down and I was feeling lower than low, I told myself that at least I could write well. Finally, this past November 13, I actually became a published writer when something I wrote for the New York Times appeared in print! I am encouraged now to actually publish more of my writing- so a big thank you to Mr Phelps!

    BIG 40th REUNION

    2007 is here...this is the year of our BIG 40th REUNION! These months leading up to our event are crucial to the success of our reunion.

    This newsletter and our website are great tools to help promote the event.

    You can help make this reunion a big success by spreading the word about our website. Also take a few moments to look at the e-mail list and the missing classmates list. If you know how to contact someone who isn't listed please get in touch with them.

    The e-mail list has 159 people on it; however, the ones that are highlighted have bounced back when I sent emails to them. If you know the correct e-mail please send it to me.

    I hear the room has been booked, but I do not yet have the date or any other information. I will let you know as soon as I find out.


    New Blog Feature on Website

    Since this is a new year, I thought I would try out a new feature on our website. I have added a blog. You can access the blog here: www.dhs1967.org/blog

    Anyone can read the blog; however, you must be registered and logged in to post or reply. Check it out when you get a chance!
