bulletMany classmates enjoyed the two 2003  reunions (in April at our old school on W. 46th Street and in early June at the "new" LaGuardia HS at Lincoln Center).  Please check out the Photo Gallery for images of the April event.  I would love to add pictures from other reunions  if anyone has any to contribute (email me at KKamlet@aol.com).  Click Here to read about our class reunions in 2003.

June 2008 Reunions:

bullet The 2008 reunions have been completed and it seemed as everyone who attended had a wonderful time, reminiscing with old friends and sharing an afternoon with some of our favorite teachers and past faculty members.
 
bullet Click Here to see our updated photo galleries, including wonderful pictures from our recent reunions and lots of wonderful nostalgia from our years at P.A.
 
bulletOur very own Henry Rinehart (Drama '83) once again hosted an "after-party" at his HENRY'S restaurant ... will post any photos that those who attended would like to contribute.  Just email them to KKamlet@aol.com 

VERY GOOD NEWS!   The two alumni associations ... The Alumni & Friends of LaGuardia H.S. (the "official" association) and the School of Performing Arts Alumni Association (formed to honor all of us who graduated from the 46th Street building) are now working together ... this includes holding both reunions on the same weekend so that more of us can enjoy all the festivities

bullet Maggie Nieves, Class of 1984 wrote to tell us how well her Class of 1984 reunion went:

"Hey Ken, well our weekend is over and it was MAGICAL!!!! Bus and Truck 83 met at Henry's Friday Night and the reunion was at the Old Building with a nine act Cabaret Night and all with a HUGE - get down get funky - dinner/dance that was held in the basement cafeteria. So far I have gotten one album from a classmate David Medina and I updated my album with 2 nested album with the pics if you care to see some old friends.  Abeson surprised Bus and Truck on Friday night..

With Kindest Regards,
Maggie Nieves

2003 Reunions:

2 different organizations hosted our 20th Anniversary reunions.  It is a good idea to make sure both have your contact information for future events.

The School of Performing Arts Association (a newly formed organization "for former faculty, graduates and attendees of the SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS 120 West 46th St. NYC 1948-1984"), held their annual gathering April 4 – 6 at the old P.A. building on West 46th Street.  It was a terrific success and the turnout for the Class of '83 was much better than expected due largely to the amazing efforts of Anthony Liccardo (Music, '83).  Anthony deserves a HUGE hand and a major thank you for all the time and energy he devoted to rounding up our classmates.  Dozens of alumni gathered at P.A. and at other venues over 3 consecutive days.  An especially memorable evening was enjoyed at HENRY'S restaurant, hosted by our own Henry Rinehart (Drama, '83) in which many of us ate, drank and caught up until the wee hours of the morning.

Most classmates attending these gatherings seemed to have an extremely enjoyable time ...  warm & fuzzy feelings were abound as we caught up, reminisced and rekindled old friendships.
