Former Vernor Students
Celebrate A Reunion

A group of students who attended
James Vernor School in northwest
Detroit will celebrate their 50th birth-
days together with classmates at a
reunion on Saturday, Oct. 6.
They will tour the now-closed ele-
mentary and junior high school in the
afternoon and e:Ljoy a buffet dinner,
conversation and dancing at Peking
House in Royal Oak that evening.
Ira Hoffman, David Wenner, Smart
Karden, Bernie Greenberg, Bill Adler,
Susan Wauldron Jerris and Owen
Perlman have been friends since they
started school at Vernor, on Pembroke
near Schaefer, in January 1957. Despite
several of them going to different high
schools and colleges, they have main-
tained friendships with each other, and
other classmates, who started at Vernor
in September 1956 or January 1957.
Wenner, of Arizona, noted that they
all attended a Vernor Reunion at
Kensington Metropark in 1983 and had
a wonderful time seeing elementary
school classmates and teachers.
Hoffman, of Maryland, contacted his
former classmates in January, seeking
interest in forming a planning commit-
tee for a Vernor Reunion.
Wauldron Jerris, of Huntington
Woods, said, "We all shared the
same positive experiences. Being a
part of the Vernor community was a

connection for life."
Greenberg, of Atlanta, said, "There
was a special bond we had with our
friends at Vernor that will be with us
forever.
Beatrice Cohen, who taught third
grade and math, was contacted and is
very excited to attend.
Wauldron and Perlman, living in
Ann Arbor, are the "locals" on the
planning committee; they invite
planning participation from former
classmates.
The reunion is for students born
between April 1951 and April 1952 and
attended any part of their elementary or
junior high school years at Vernor. The
goal is to have a 35th anniversary for the
class of 1966 and to share their 50th
birthdays together.
"We need the home and e-mail
addresses of all of our classmates," said
Perlman, who hopes that anyone who
knows someone from the class will tell
them about the Web site.

communities@msn.comNernorReunion

address. Classmates may also contact
Susan Wauldron Jerris at (248) 544-

Month in Michigan, 22 students
from Joni Satovsky's third-grade
class at Oakley Park Elementary
School in Walled Lake came
armed with books, ready to read
to residents.
"The children were unusu2lly
confident, probably due to their
ability to read well and socialize
well beyond their age," says
Hechtman resident Eve
Lieberman. "We look forward to
having the students return."
Alyssa, 8, and her mom Carolyn Palafox of

outreach coordinator at JAS, says Commerce Township enjoy a visit with Hechtman
