By Dennis Kammerer, Committee Member, All Class Reunion, St. Joseph School
May 6, 2015: The St. Joseph School graduating class of 1965, in honor of its 50th anniversary, is hosting a reunion for all classes on Saturday, June 20, beginning at 6:30 pm at Fogarty's.
"We began planning for our 50th class reunion over lunch at Pete's Tavern about two years ago," said Dennis Kammerer, committee member. "As we started to reach out to find our classmates, alumni from other classes became interested in the reunion idea, so we decided that the class of '65 would host an ALL-class reunion. It made so much sense as the different classes were connected through family members. Siblings, cousins, parents, children, even grandchildren, all attended St. Joseph. We thought it would be great to bring them all together."
As of now, approximately 80 alumni and family members are planning to attend, with representation as far back as the class of 1960. Twenty-three members from the class of '65 plan to attend. A collection of photos and memorabilia items will be available to share and everyone will receive a memento from the evening.
If you remember marching into school with John Philip Sousa, clapping erasers, and cartridge pens, Fogarty's is where you want to be on Saturday, June 20, at 6:30 pm.
The cost for the evening, which includes robust appetizers, beer, wine, and soft drinks, is $75 per person. (A cash bar will also be available.) Checks should be made payable to "SJS ALL Class Reunion" and mailed to Dennis Kammerer, 18 Elmsford Road, Carmel, NY 10512.

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
