Update and plan? 2020 into 2021

So now it's 2021.  Last year was supposed to have been the 35th YEAR reunion of the class of 1985 and those closely connected with it i.e. 1984, 1986, etc.  Unfortunately what happened was the pandemic and global crisis, therefore everything changed and was delayed.  Would we have had a reunion if it weren't for the pandemic of 2020?  Probably?  Well that is wishful thinking and actually it is hypothetical at this juncture. 

Will we have a Spackenkill reunion for 2020 in 2021 instead?  Can we make up for it, a year later?  Well, what's the deal with these increments of time anyhow?  Does it have to be on a year of decades? Or of 5 year increments?  It usually it is, due to the mathematical sensibility of the power of 10 and 5.  However, life does not really work that way.  Life is according to cycles which we barely even know about.  Unless we delve really deep into science and discovering the true timing of reality. 

Having said that, I am working on a documentary which will go along with my Memoirs.  Yes you hear that right!  Why me?  Who am I? How can I, Peter Tasciotti, do such a project??

Find out more next time... as I update the site. 

Remembering and Finding Spackenkill Class of 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987

Peter Edward Tasciotti remembered... 

Poughkeepsie, NY Spackenkill High School Classmates.

We were looking for some people we remembered.  In this day and age, we have two forces at work.  One which is making it harder on us.  The other one which is making it easier on us!  How ironic and contradictory, but it's reality, it's really going on. 

These forces are first of all the one which SCATTERS people all over the globe!  It's like Godzilla kicking up dust everywhere.  (Why did I say that?)  With the crazy new technology of travel and globalization, people end up in faraway places!  It seems that nobody has to stay where they grew up.  We don't have to.  We aren't stuck.  Like cavemen in the same cave.  (actually did that ever happen in prehistory???) 

The other force, or the second one, is the high technology of finding people by searching the WORLD WIDE WEB.  That's kinda what this blog is within.  it's like on the web itself.  By using these information technologies, we can save time of scouring the Earth looking under every rock.  It's all at our fingertips, at the touch of a KEYBOA RD.  Amazing!  Lightning fast!! 

So it doesn't matter if somebody from the past goes to the other side of the planet (unless it's a FLAT EARTH).  It doesnt matter because they can be located on-line, there is information about them. For example ALL the unsavory info about me. ;P

There are some exciting finds, in the form of friends being reunited.  Even after 30 or more years, it's happening.  Old friends are getting in touch. 

There is also some sad news to be reckoned with.  On that note, we are going to have a new Obituary page.  This is in dedication of all those we have lost.  We were remembering them, and that's all we can do.

Dave Grein featurette

Who ever said Dave Grein was going to stop his creative doodling and such?  (no way, jose) He was voted (our class' Most Creative student - beating yours truly by merely ONE vote in 1985)  He is still avidly pursuing the expression of unique silliness.



More videos to be revealed on this blog (we hope!)

Classmates.com Just signed up and had a look around

Classmates.com I notice a bunch of you are on there.. but how many are active? In any case, it could be a resource.
They give you a free profile to start: I added two pics and answered the story question
What have you been up to, Peter? Remind them who you are and where you've been.

"lol where to begin? I'm baking cookies. I'm raising 6 children. I'm loving America and travelling the world.  I'm keeping in touch with some old friends. We are doing a reunion. We got together 9 years ago. It's time.. check out scapegoat2006 (dot) blogspot (dot) com So far, some basic info is there. Hope to see you all real soon. ;) "

You can see it all there if you have a hankering to check out that site. Why not, it's a kick. I will try to contact some of the classmates through there.
