POTSDAM CENTRAL ALUMNI ORGANIZE

Graduates of Potsdam Central have always had strong ties to their alma mater and fellow classmates, but a newly established alumni association will formally support and enhance this relationship. The organization will promote lifelong connections among fellow alumni, PCS students, and its faculty and staff.

A comprehensive database is being created to keep graduates informed of school endeavors, provide a valuable resource to class reunion organizers, assist in the development of association programs and strengthen alumni connections. Association membership will include those individuals who completed their graduation requirements at another institution, such as a prep school or The Clarkson School.

Graduates are asked to log on to the alumni Association website at www.PotsdamCentralAlumni.blogspot.com and complete a data form so they can be included on the database. The alumni blog will provide opportunity to post messages and link to Potsdam Central, as well as individual class blogs. Alumni without computer access can provide the database information by contacting Gail and Jim Baxter (Class of ’65) at 315-265-2645.

If you have questions or comments regarding the organization email Jim and Gail Baxter (Class of ’65) jgbaxter@northnet.org or Pat Austin (Class of ’88) austinpat53@yahoo.com or Jamey Hoose (Class of ’98) jhoose@slic.com

Hi Martha,

I am so sorry I missed the reunion but I have enjoyed reading everyone's news, and l loved seeing the pictures.

I finally made a trip north in October. Potsdam has changed a lot in the 5 years since I've been home. I was able to spend time with my son, Brian who is an Officer, stationed at Fort Drum. He will be going to Afghanistan soon. My younger son Kevin and daughter, Kallie are students at Florida State in Tallahassee, Florida. Husband, Bruce travels between Minneapolis and Fort Lauderdale while we keep a residence here.

I hope this blog continues. It's fun to remember so many classmates. I'm slow with email but will respond! Anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area, look me up. Judy Fadden Buchholz
