Claire Eddins, Author
Coming soon to a bookstore near you and of course to Amazon. Don't let the pen name fool you. This is Claire Talbot of the class of 1977.
From the book jacket:
"First in a delicious new mystery series about Eva Knox and her family’s Georgia olive plantation.
In the sweet Southern town of Abundance, Georgia, home of the Knox family’s olive farm, gossip isn’t the only thing that can kill you...
After leaving a man at the altar for the second time in her life, Eva Knox decides to head home to her family’s plantation to regroup and soak in some Southern charm. But hiding from her woes is a slipperier proposition than Eva imagined. For one thing, most people in town still haven’t forgiven her for leaving local boy Buck Tanner at the altar and hightailing it up north eighteen years ago. For another, a death on her family’s farm soon makes her the lead suspect in a murder case—and the sheriff investigating is none other than Eva’s old flame Buck.
With the police putting the squeeze on her, it’s up to Eva and her sisters, Pep and Daphne, to figure out who could have possibly left a dead body in their olive grove. And they’ll have to catch the greasy killer quickly—because it looks like Eva has been picked as the murderer’s next victim..."

Turkey Bowl 2015
These old pals of mine have been playing this game at or near Glen School for over 50 years, since they were kids. The players have mostly changed but the non-contact, comradery remains intact. In an age where day by day we learn the truth of what the contact version of football is doing to people's brains long after they have taken off their football pads for good, it's quaint to say that these guys probably are not risking too much other than some sore muscles.

Class of 1970 Announces Plans for a 50th Reunion in 2020
News from my old neighbor in Ridgewood, Judy Schoneman Beirne:
RHS Class of 1970, 45th Class Reunion is now a fond memory.... and what a wonderful memory it is!
Fifty-five classmates gathered to laugh and recall wonderful times at Ridgewood High School and the old neighborhoods on Saturday, October 10, 2015. The gathering at Double Tree in Mahwah, NJ was a success! About the same number of some different faces gathered at the Elks Club on Friday night for a more casual event. Again, although damp, a success! Alas, the tailgate was rained out, but Chuck's RHS varsity football team managed to cream Clifton (30-14)! Besides those opportunities to meet and greet, I know small groups walked through town and met at friend's homes or familiar restaurants; a tour of George Washington (now) Middle School, a gathering of Willard friends and another for Ridge, HoHoKus friends united, several outings to The Fireplace, ice cream at VanDykes, and familiar, yet classic delis and diners were revisited. Saturday was so clear you could see the cables on the GW bridge from Crest Road as well as the new World One Tower! Thank you to those who came out to help us celebrate!
Even if you were not able to attend in person, you have the opportunity to see your classmates through some of the photos we captured from the weekend. Please enjoy (and tag yourself in) the photos on our Facebook page. Also updated, is our Shutterfly website initiated 5 years ago for our 40th reunion. Relive the pictures from then and check out the new photos recently added. You may download pictures from the Shutterfly site and/or you can add your own! This site also has the added feature of a conversation page. Let's start a dialog of what you would like to see at our 50th and what you enjoyed about the 45th. Or start your own conversation and let's keep it going! Stay well so that we can do this again in 5 years!
SAVE THE DATE: 10/10 in 2020 for our 50th Reunion!
