My Fellow Classmates,

Now that a boffo smash success of a Reunion is on its way to a June 24th Opening at PS 99, it might be good to ponder what we do for an encore performance.I propose we publish a book.

"Brooklyn" is hot and so are we. Increasingly through the use of the internet, there are inexpensive yet effective ways to market a book. I actually met with one such publisher yesterday, Jennifer Nix of Chelsea Green who recently had great success with George Lakoff's book, "Don't Think of an Elephant."

Wherever we might go with this idea, I do have two interim proposals.Hire a professional photographer to document our weekend. At the school, with the kids and teachers, at Lundy's, the Banquet, Wingate Field, in the old neighborhood. (Let's free up Joyce to be an actor in this drama.) I'd be willing to kick in some bucks to hire the photographer. This photography can also go on the PS 99 website.More of us register on the PS 99 blog. Seymour Levine just joined the fledgling group. It's a great way to capture our reminiscences and current reunion experiences. (What did Dorothy and Phyllis talk about for two hours the other night?)

I know there are sometimes snags in registering but I'd like to help you do it. It provides a very readable record, opportunities to comment on one another's postings, and when a new posting goes up on the blog, it is automatically delivered to your personal e-mail box.I'd be happy to "re-invite" you to the PS 99 blog if you're interested.Let me know your thoughts on the above. Feel free to share it with other classmates if you would like. Hmmm.. maybe I'll post this note on the blog.

See you soon,
Michael
