It doesn't seem possible, but it’s true! The Class of 1970 just celebrated its 40th Reunion. It seems like only yesterday that we were receiving our diplomas on Manchester Field behind what is now the old high school. Over the course of time, the old high school became McCall Junior High, the new high school was constructed on Skillings Road and the Sachem logo was redesigned to keep up with the times. Filled with nostalgia, 100 members of the Class of '70 and their spouses joined together on Saturday, July 31st at the Woburn Country Club to celebrate with drinks, dinner and dancing.  

The day began in the morning with a 9-hole golf tournament at Woburn Country Club with a field of 20 players.  After finishing, everyone gathered at the 19-hole for drinks and conversation.  It was a wonderful way for classmates to reconnect before the evening festivities.

Everyone remembers NOEL WEBB and his violin in high school.  What many of us didn't know was how deep his passion went and we were treated to a surprise performance.  Noel was intoxicated by the sounds of Jimmy Hendrix and the sultry electricity of rock n' roll music.  He has shared the stage with the "greats" like blues legend John Hammond, jazz legends from John Coltrane's band; Grover Washington, Jr., and rock icons like Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Tubes and REO Speedwagon.  He is one of the most popular instrumental pop violinists played on mainstream radio and innovator of the rock/jazz violin.  He does not just play music, he creates music that redefines the landscape of the world around him.

What everyone discovered at the 40th is that all of us have changed in different ways, and it was fun finding out who's doing what after all these years. It was an evening of reminiscing, finding old friends, and connecting with new ones.
