Greetings Fellow Classmates,
After months of planning, our Reunion Committee has finalized the time and date for our much anticipated 60th Class Reunion. Please consider this email an official "Save the Date" for our next/great get-together:
When: Sunday, September 20, 2026
Where: Braintree Town Hall from 1pm-5pm
We will be returning to the site of our wonderful 50th Reunion, which has been updated with a newly refinished floor, as well as Braintree Wamp-Blue seating. Therefore, now is the time to start making any necessary travel plans for this fun affair. Hopefully, all of us will contact old friends they haven't seen forever, and encourage them to come to the reunion, as well as join our class website (braintreehsclassof66.com) if they haven't already. If anyone has forgotten their password for our website, please email Tom Herget (tfherget@hotmail.com) for help in resetting it.
Over the course of the next few months, we will be sending along more information regarding our 60th Class Reunion. Braintree-based Fasano's Catering will be providing their usual fabulous food and drink at the very reasonable cost of about $50/ticket.
So mark your calendars, call your friends, and let's make this the best reunion ever.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact any of the following:

Had a great night yesterday with old friend, and BHS alumni, Larry Hatch. Larry was visiting from Pheonix, stopping by his home town for a bit. We were good friends in high school, and hadn’t seen one another since graduation! Larry was manager of both our boys soccer team and boys basketball team. It was like we never missed a beat. Thanks for making contact Larry! Safe trip.

HOUSING FOR WORLD WAR II VETERANS IN BRAINTREE
WHEN Tuesday October 28, 2025, 600 PM
WHERE Cahill Auditorium, Braintree Town Hall
SPONSOR Braintree Historical Society
SPEAKER John F Donovan, Braintree Historical Society
After World War II there was a severe shortage of housing for veterans. The Town of Braintree responded by building 96 temporary apartments for veterans. Operating between 1946 and 1954, the project became known as “Union Village”.
Between 1951 and 1961, the Town also built ninety single-family homes for veterans located throughout the town. They were on Common, Drake, Erickson, Mann, Olofsson, Pantano and Pearl Streets, Hillside and Wildwood Avenues, and King Hill Road. When the housing crisis was over, these homes were sold to veterans.

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of classmate Ron Payne. Ron was one of my very best friends from eighth grade through college. A great guy, acerbic wit, and a steadfast friend. My childhood memories are full of the many times we played backyard sports, pool down Jimmy Sacchetti’s basement, skimboarding at Nantasket , and messed around in so many classes at BHS. Thanks for the memories Ron.
Thanks Kevin…fixed the link to Mary’s obituary.
