This page contains Then and Now picture of some of my best friends ever; folks I know from Fayetteville-Manlius High School in upstate New York. Friends and acquaintances from other parts of my life will probably not find this interesting.
I'm posting these pictures for that group of people so that we, though spread asunder, can see how we've each changed over the decades. Some of us will see each other at class reunions but this page contains people from multiple years: Graduating Classes of (roughly) 1972 thru 1975.
I'll post these photos of folks in our circle of friends as they come in. Every picture has been reduced for display but if you click on the picture, the full size original will appear (if available). Time constraints mean I wont have time to "touch up" (crop, color correct, etc.) pix right away. Please send pictures with the least JPEG compression possible. Other formats are just fine; will convert. OK to send brief blurbs on yourself & family, too. Please let me know when the page gets too long or takes to long to load (am spoiled by cable modem!) so I can split into multiple pages.
Some people have asked to have no last names posted. I will not
include last names unless you direct otherwise when you send your pix. Send
them to

harvest email addresses from web pages by looking for the @ sign).

| Heidi Then | Heidi 2009 | Heidi and Phil, 2009 |
Heidi wound up in Montana after college, with boyfriend Jim Tsadillas (FM '74). An engagement was called off and they moved on to separate lives, which included Heidi's daughter. 10 years later found them each alone again but a chance contact (Jim was an MIA on the Class of '74 list and she was getting him in touch with their Class Secretary) got them back together and they finally married and had a son. I LOVE that story. They live in Coeur d'Alene, ID where Heidi manages a Gourmet Food and supply store.

| Paul Then | Paul a little after "Then" | Paul Now w/ wife Michelle, 2002 |
Paul &wife Michelle, can't make up their minds where to live and have been in NY, VA, FL, GA, NY again, and now, I think, FL where he's an FAA Certified IA (Inspector Aircraft) who travels around the country teaching other people how to fix corporate jets (cool!) and she's a licensed aircraft mechanic (A&P). Paul sez:
Radiator $89.95
Motor Mounts $18.95
The look on Phil’s face staring under the hood of his “ditched” Dart in Lab’s field...... PRICELESS!
(I think I went through 3 radiators in that Dodge Dart; that was back when you could replace 'em yourself! -ed)
