CCS class of 1959 celebrates reunion

The Cooperstown Class of 1959 held their 50th reunion September 18th to 20th, 2009. Sixty people, including 34 members of the class, attended the weekend. Class members came from Hawaii, California, Montana, Texas and all along the eastern seaboard.

On Friday morning, 13 people played golf at the Otsego Golf Course in Springfield. Bill Burgess won the longest drive and Colaine Young Johnson won closest to the pin.

Friday evening, the class held an old fashioned picnic at the Cornfield in Fly Creek with hot dogs, hamburgers and sausage cooked by Bill Barrett from the class of `58.

During the evening music was played by a DJ. About 70 people attended with former teacher Robert Lettis and his wife as guests.

Saturday evening was a cocktail hour and dinner held at the Hotel Otesaga. The highlight of the evening was an Elvis Presley impersonator, Donny Romines, from Schenectady, who performed following the dinner.

``Elvis’’ sang and gyrated to many of the old Elvis songs, delighting the ``girls from ’59’’ by singing to them as he put a scarf around their neck or gave them a teddy bear. This was followed by a class photo and adjournment to the Hawkeye lounge for more stories and laughter.

On Sunday, many gathered at TJ’s, on Main St., for breakfast before saying their goodbyes while looking forward to their next reunion.
