My Sunday, May 25th Times of Trenton "Sentimental Journey" column will recall that warm night in June, 1951 when 17 year old Thomas Glover received his high school diploma and ventured into the unknown future. ("C" average in history due to what we call the "feminine mystique.) The graphic above was sent along with the manuscript to accompany the article, but space constraints often result in my graphics being eliminated. Each year at graduation time, my thoughts wander back to my wonderful years as a student in Hamilton Township's excellent educational system. My classmates are now octogenarians and based on my recent attendance at our 60th reunion, I find that most agree that we were privileged to have been educated in an era much different from today.

- That's the problem with becoming a member of a choral singing
group. Most of the organizers are younger than we old timers and have no
idea what great music came from the 1940's and 1950's. Right now, I am
preparing for a July through August Sunday summer sing alongs at Kuser
Park Gazebo. I may even start in June this year. How great it would be
if you lived here in the area. Miss you and your perfect pitch tenor
voice. By the way.....you can contact me via my email at
tglover320@optimum.net. It will be easier to communicate.
