| This page is added to post recent news,
both happy and sad, to keep class members more or less up to date with
the Class of 1957. Photos from
the 2007 50th Class Reunion are now posted for those who weren't
able to attend the reunion. For those who attended, the Memory
Book reminds us of the great time that was enjoyed at the
reunion. |

We are saddened to inform you that our classmate Peggy Finn Aga passed away on March 29, 2008 from cancer. Peggy was one of our most loyal classmates, deeply involved in organizing our class reunions. Those who attended the "camp" she organized in August 2000 prior to the 45th reunion two years later will remember the great time we had at her home in Los Osos. We were blessed to have her help with the 50th reunion and enjoyed her company there. She will be greatly missed. |

All too soon, we are again saddened to inform you that our classmate Sue Osborne Neustein passed away on May 20, 2008 from the complications of treatment for cancer. Like Peggy, Sue was deeply involved in our class reunion activities. Sue provided great help at the 45th and 50th reunions. Those close to Sue knew she was not feeling well at the 50th reunion and it was shortly after that she was diagnosed with cancer. She also will be greatly missed. |

For those unaware, one of our
fellow classmates died tragically during the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. Our classmate Jacqueline (Jackie) McGuire
Norton and her husband Robert Norton were passengers onboard American
Flight 11,
which crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
They had moved from California to Maine, and were on their way to visit
family in California when their plane was hijacked after taking
off from Logan International
Airport in
Boston. |

Our friend and fellow classmate, Gino Mangione, lost his battle with cancer in the late evening hours of Saturday, November 20, 2010. Gino was very active in student body activities during our Pasadena school years. At John Marshall Junior High School, Gino was a Student Government Spring Commissioner. Gino served as our Senior Class President during our senior year at Pasadena High School. The photo at left was taken at the 50th reunion, where we were able to enjoy his friendship once again. Gino will be greatly missed. |

All too soon, our friend and fellow classmate, Jack Hayes, lost his battle with cancer on Monday, November 22, 2010. Jack was one of our most loyal classmates through the years. He attended the "camp" organized by Peggy Finn Aga at her home in Los Osos in August 2000 prior to the 45th reunion, and agreed to become the treasurer of our Class of 1957. He kept our class finances on a firm footing up until the time earlier that year when he felt he could no longer fulfill those duties. We have lost a great friend and he too will be greatly missed. |
