Terry Schnell

The memory is fading but Leslie Tolles, where are you?  Did Leslie Tolles actually exist senior year at Shaker High or is she a figment of my imagination?  Wasn't Leslie Tolles Terry Schnell's senior prom date or was Terry home alone watching TV as usual?  Seriously, folks, apparently Leslie Tolles either has disappeared completely or didn't exist.  Didn't her brother Peter also attend Shaker?  My sole prayer is my date to the 50th. reunion, Roberta, doesn't disappear because she's a great broad too.  How great?  Roberta had but one request on her first trip to Cleveland: Visiting the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton which is stupendous by the way and should not be missed.  No offense to y'all who were at the Art Museum but we prefer over Van Brocklin over Van Gogh.  

Best to everyone from Austin. 

Note to Torchy: I can always pick up the reunion DVD at the 60th. reunion if that's okay and if it's ready.

I am still planning on creating videos of the other Shaker Elementary Schools similar to the one I made of my beloved Lomond. I have been very busy since I took up playing basketball and playing with my grandson. After all I was a Woodbury All Star. Can I help it if I was a short Jewish kid. Ok...just to prove it see this short video. Click on below.

By the way...for those of you that ordered the Reunion Video...I was promised by the company that it will be shipped early next week.

Hey, Jim Weingart, 

What record are you looking for? I was in the music business for almost 40 years, and also co-owned a record store in Manhattan. Lots to choose from.....You never know. 

Sam Guren

Knowing Jim, it's Sink the Bismarck. And for Terry, please send him the Moody Blues' I Know She's Out There Somewhere.

Too much time on my hands...

Ellen Kaufman

Torchy, thanks so much for pulling these together - particualrly for those of us who didn't purchase the video.  I'm loving all the material that you are splicing in as well.  You're the BEST!!!

Marguerite Comella (Tench)

With all due respect........and much love.....  Am I the only one that thinks the Peter Pan character in the Geico ad - who is celebrating his 50th class reunion for the class of 1965, with all the old timers who DID grow up-- was based on and copied from our very own Torchy?  Torchy, my old friend, you have not aged a bit in 50 years and you still have the same sense of humor and fun.!!!!  LOL  We all love you!    from Marguerite

Edward Torchy Smith

I must live in a cave!  I've not seen this commercial or maybe it's because we're on the East coast!  You are all right!  Touchy, it's you and you don't look a day over 12!

Dear Friends,

I found this absolutely precious photo of my/our Boulevard kindergarten class and have now posted it on my Profile Page. It is hard to believe we were only 5 years old! I apologize for any misspellings and for all of those that I left out. Perhaps others can write in and fill in the gaps. 

Enjoy!

Thank you Alice. Much appreciate your

kind reply. I will take your word for it

that Torchy's Tacos are wonderful.

Small chance I will ever eat one.

I knew my mother should have registered my name

when she gave it to me at birth.
