Hi everyone! Spend a lot of time last night reading this page and tonight reading last year's page. So many names I remember because of it being a small town, but mostly because of my brothers! The curly eyelash boy was Jimmy Battle. And I remember Diddle Oliver from the summer of 63 at Trainer Pool. One day a bunch of us went to his house to play...first and only time I played spin the bottle and post office. More of an innocent game then then the games now! Mr. Stopper also taught us German after school. Michelle, remember in 1st & 2nd grade when we made up songs in Mrs. Denoi"s class? I still remember all the words to the snowflake song and sing it to my family whenever it snows! Remember the other luncheonette on Post Road? Curry's? Alot smaller, but great penny candy! Donna, Breyer's makes an ice cream that's orange sherbert and vanilla ice cream in a checker board pattern. Lois, I remember that hurricane, too! I was the youngest and got home before my brothers and it sure was scary! Crystal...up until last night I always thought that your last name was Waters and I even told my children about the girl who had the beautiful name of Crystal Waters! Wanda...didn't you have homing pigeons? I always thought you were so interesting. Vicky Pillings was in our class and April was a year younger. I remember Wayne Farris, too. Upper Trainer had the rocks which I've never been to, But we had the crik (creek) and the tar pits. We were definitely not allowed to take the short cut to the pool through the pits and across the tracks, but sometimes we did. And on the way home, sometimes we crossed 9th at the bottom of the ridge to the wild blackberry bushes in the woods there. They sure were good! Eugene Uff was a year or so older and I saw him about 20 years ago in Claymont. Remember the abandoned house right next to the school? We would explore and scare each other silly. There was a family next door to Richie and Jimmy Freize... the Forrester's? 4-5 boys and Linda. And what ever happened to Barbara Galazeski (sp?)

Hello to All the Newcomers to the site!!!
I've been reading all the emails and particularly want to address the comments on people who have not received an invitation. If everyone will send/give a copy of their invitation to everyone who says they did not get one, it would be a really really big help to me. I have probably looked up, copied and sent over 40 invitations since the initial mailing on May 15th. Sherry, Sharon, Lois and I have looked up addresses and I speak for myself, when I say over a year. With working most weeks 6 days a week, I am finding it very hard to start the process over again, so everyone, please take a minute and copy for your buddies in the your classes. Also, a good source for looking up addresses is, www.anywho.com or aol white pages.
Alot of people have emailed me that they are coming to the reunion and mention paying at the door. If you know you will be coming, please, please get your checks to Sherry beforehand. This way we have a better count for the restaurant and know if our expenses will be met. Sherry, if you have time, it might be nice to post how many responses (checks) have been received so far.
Also, if anyone wants to help please contact Sherry or Sharon (Mast) by email.... Looking forward to a wonderful day filled with much happiness at seeing old friends.

Hi Everyone - I was reading some of the messages. This is a great site. Pat Wiser I remember you from school and Girl Scouts. You lived on 9th St. next to Cliff Ward. Scott Kincaid you went to school with my son Anthony. He doesn't have a computer so he told me to tell you he'll be at the reunion. So will Lisa Oliver she was in your class, also. Michelle Straight - Anthony's still really good friends with Mike Reynolds - he'll be at the reunion. Anthony ran into Mark Melendez a few weeks ago and I think he may be there, too. I'll find out about Mike Ruditys - he's still in the area and he should probably be there, too. Joanne Latosha I went to school with your brother, Stan. I know a lot of our classmates - Class of 1960 will be going. Now here's some great news. The following teachers have told me they are going - Donna Natelli, Hope Giamboy, Rosetta Rambo, Lou Stopper, and Rita Denoia. It's going to be a fantastic day and I can't wait.

This site is so great... Several people have contacted me via email, but my pc got several serious virus and had to be purged. Needless to say, we lost everything - including our address book! Took time tonight to read all the notices on this page and enjoyed the walk down memory lane. So many names I remember, especially those who were friends with my brothers! Remember the marshmallow ice cream cones from Al's? They were best when stale! And remember when we not only said the Pledge, we had prayer AND we read the Bible? I remember being in Miss Felton's class and being allowed to go across the hall to read to the second graders! Not all changes have been for the good, have they? Miss Felton also taught a group of us how to knit and we made "snoot booties"! They were all the rage that winter! Jerry, have you heard from Stan yet? Lynne, what's new with you? Linda - I think I have your address somewhere... Hi, Valerie! How are you doing? I lived in Colorado Springs for awhile.

I am kinda disappointed not to see more of the people I went through grade school with. I attended Trainer from 1975 through 1981. Some of my classmates were Bonnie Ostan (whom I still have contact with), Mike Reynolds, Mike Ruditys, Toni White, Judy Himes, Angel Guarantee, Debbie Shaw, Mike Taylor, Mark Melendez, Bobbie Halverson and others that I just can't think of right now. If any of you are attending the reunion, I can't wait to see you! I would love to hear from anyone that remembers me...including my teachers. Please e-mail me!

Laurie, Sure wish you could make it back East in Sept. You have a great time remembering the Anderson Ave kids. Martha, you live up the street from me. Hey, Lee, are you out there?? I miss the old cars that we rode in going to school. Remember when the front seat broke at the Dairy Queen in Linwood, you, Tom and I laughed so hard. Did we make it to school that day or was it an excuse for us to ride around? Barbara, how great it is to see you name, spoke with Bev on the phone a while back looking for names of family members. Louise passed away a few yrs ago, lost Darlene Rumford also. Can't wait to see everyone in Sept.!!! Get those questionnaires filled out and send them back with your checks. Let's get the Party started!!

If you have names and/or addresses please email them to me and I will be sure to get one out to them.

Dottie LaRue went to Trainer, and then lost contact with her but met her again at Claymont High School. She married a guy from Claymont and they live in Bear De. Don't know if this address is still good: Dottie Christensen, 8 Meadow Knoll Ct., Bear, DE 19701
Roberta Sheesley is living (last I heard) in Elizabeth City, NC. I will try to see if I have her address at home. Do you need Libby Jackson or Donna Temple's address. I know I have Libby's.
To Bonnie, Yes, Joyce died in 1989 and her husband in 1992. They were living in New Jersey at the time. Had 3 kids, only 1 married. Joyce never got to see her two grandchildren. Jan

I met Vel Pointer (Ware) in Florida, and she told me at that time about the upcoming reunion, and I think that it is a good idea, I was in class 0f 1937. and have wondered in late years what happened to my classmates of the 1930's. Frank Plumb, Robert Parker, Franklin Koontz, Mike Fatzinnick, John Carpenter, John Ware, Robert Benjamin, Ralph Bailey, Archie Trader,Doris Harris, Madelaine and Doris Bird, Jack Wilson, the Stebner boys, Dawson, Leon and Jack Butler with sisters Betty, Catherine, Pauline and Auguarete. The entire Cole Family starting with Roland, and The Nickles Boys, Foster and Stanley,Bill Nealy, Joe Cannon and sisters, and many more names from my youth in Trainer, just before we all went away to WW11. Jimmy Capel, who was a Marine, and many others that I lost contact with after the War, incliding Bill Fisher, who was an outstanding Guitar player, and was a relative of the Silver Hastings family group. Also many more whose names have come to my mind many times through the years> I was born on August 7, 1922, at 6 Center Ace., which many of you hAd to walk through to get to School each morning, and back in the Afternoon, it is now called W. 5th St. Does anyone remember Nick Methowski delivering the old Chester Times all over Trainer? Basketball was played in the school yard, and the swings that were a gathering place for the teenagers of that day to meet and get acquainted aftrer school hours, and during Summer months. What a carefree time it was for us! And I miss it, simply because I was young those days. Looking forward to seeing many of you for the first time in years, and some of you for the first time ever. See you then. Everett Snyder

Some other teachers you may want to put down were: Betty Jo Morris, Doris Bell (deceased), Mrs. Hammond and Mrs. Betty Snyder. I believe Mrs. Snyder taught 4th grade and Mrs. Hammond taught 5th grade. Mrs. Morris taught 3 and Doris Bell taught 6-7 English. I corresponded with Betty Morris until a few years ago when she had a stroke. Doris Bell was the teacher I admired the most and who encouraged me to read (and I'm an avid reader today).

Vel, Yes, I'm sure it was me Jim was talking about meeting out here. If it wasn't, I'd be amazed! Brenda Kincaid's address is: Brenda Giovenello, 25 Farmington Circle, West Grove, PA 19390. I thought I saw some correspondence from Michelle Walker somewhere along the way. Maybe not.
Grandparents 2nd time around!!! I do feel old. Actually, I have a 24 year old son who is nowhere near marriage, a step daughter the same age and a daughter who is only 14. What was I thinkin'!? Obviously I wasn't thinkin' at all! Anyway, it's great to hear that Paul and Charlene are still together. I assume they will be at the reunion. Can't wait to see all. I haven't had a chance to send in my paperwork yet. It's the end of the school year and I have my daughter's 8th grade continuation and I am the high school coordinator at a private school and it's my job to pull all the year end "stuff" together. You know-the little things like senior trip, end of school functions and graduation. Life is a little hectic right now! Got to work on the graduation program, will chat again soon. Val

Hi Janet...Sorry for the mess...My e-mail was down for a bit.. PLEASE sent that picture you mentioned as I will frame it...I greatly appreciate your kindness:-) My e-mail address is the same and would really love receiving the picture in the mail as I do not have a printer... It amazes me to think that I am talking to you this way.. The thought of a message coming from a place that holds my most fondest memories...And from a house where my Aunt Anita spent her best times...When her and your Mom used to watch "All My Children"...All those evenings on either your porch or Anitas...I can still hear your Moms laugh..which I was always fond of...Her laugh always made ME laugh...Sorry again for the mix-up..

Laurie Emrick, I've been trying to email you for just over a month. First, to email you a scanned picture of my parents with Anita and Leon at the Lennox Park Fire House Banquet so you could save it to your computer. There is no date written on the back of the picture but it looks to be from the 1950's or early 60's. Secondly, to confirm your home address so I could snail mail you the copy. All emails to you have come back non-deliverable. Did you change your email address? I read your entry on May 21 and will be mailing the picture to your Carmichael CA address.
Hi Vel, what a great job you and your helpers have done. Looking forward to the reunion.
A special hi to Jerry , Dot, Franny and Trudy Lewis. I have fond memories of your Mom and John, she and my Mom were great friends.

Hello All, I have received about 14 invitations returned for different reasons. I have resent Laurie Hund, Janet Fisher Maher and Norman Giles. The ones returned and have no other information on are: Shirley Storm, Larry Quigley, Wesley Coale, Barbara Coale Bobbs, Dot Halverson Loeffler, Milliard Coale, Michael Bush, Jack Henderson, Mary Orange and John Cole. If anyone has any information on any of these people, please let me know. Thanks
Valerie,
As there were 12 of us and Paul is the baby and Jim is 5th from the top, I am right between them. lol Actually, I am the fourth from the youngest. Yes, Paul and Charlene are still married. I cannot ever imagine those two not being together. They just became grandparents for the 2nd time. My brother was just here a month or so ago and was trying to tell me about someone from Trainer who he met in Colorado. I guess it was you he was talking about. What a small world!!! Anxious to hear the story of how Trainer came about. Jim didn't mention how it did. I do not have Brenda Kincaid, Matthias Davis, Rachel Ferry, Darlene Rumford, Francis Fritz Betty Stickter, Michelle Walker or Chippy Coale. If you have any of their information please let me know asap. Thanks and you are welcome also

Vel, Are Jim and Paul your brothers? If they are, where did you fit in? I worked with Jim at Wild Oats here in Littleton. When I meet you, remind me to tell you how Jim and I found out we both grew up in Trainer! I kinda hung out with Paul. He's married to Charlene or was the last I heard. Charlene was in my class. So hopefully that helps you to figure out the time and class. Nancy was a little older I think. I can't remember if she was in the same class as my brother Greg or a year or so younger.
I talked to Brenda Kincaid and I believe she is gonna come also. I halfway get my years at Trainer and Chi mixed up and who was where. It's tough gettin' old!
Some names that come to mind are Matthias Daniels, Rachel Ferry, Darlene Rumford, Lewis Watkins, Ruth Whitby, Wayne Rochester, Wayne Faries. I'm jumping all over as I think of people. Chippy(?)Coale, Francis Fritz, Beth Spisak and Marilyn Thomas. I used to hang out with Brenda Kincaid and we hung out the girls a year older like Betty Stichter, Michelle Walker, Patty Happy, and Janice Dodsen. Those are a few.
Thanks so much for doing all this. It really is appreciated!

Laurie,
I came on to send you an email. Your invitation came back to e today for insufficient address. The only discrepancy is the #7 for your apt. I can't believe they didn't just leave at the front office. Oh well, I will get another one out to you on Monday.
Valerie, I am so excited to see you are coming!!! You are what makes this worthwhile. People coming from far away to revisit with childhood friends. I believe you may have gone to school with my sister, Nancy Ware. She is gone but I know some others from her class will be coming. Email me with some of the names and I will check for you to see if they received an invitation.

Vel, Wow, thanks for the acknowledgement. I'm relly looking forward to this reunion! I'm coming back home in June for about 12 days so making another trip back for just a weekend made me think about whether it would be possible. Of course, it took me about 30 seconds to decide there eas no way I could miss it. So I called my brother (Greg Collins) and asked him if he received an invitation and he received his the same day. So, anyway, I'm pretty sure you will be hearing from him soon cause I know he intends to come but of course he still lives in PA. Not a big effort! I don't recognize some names so I'm assuming they went to Trainer School after I did. Many I do recognize but they were more Greg's age. I don't see many that are my age. I went up to 7th grade. That was when we merged with Chi. That was about '66 I think!
Thanks for responding, Val

Valerie,
Thanks for letting us know you received your invitations..especially so far away.
If you read the archives you will see this started as a fluke and wishful thinking. I had time on my hands between jobs and thought "why not, let's give it a try!!" It has taken a year to find all the names and alot of nights burning the midnight oil but we finally got there. Sherry Warder found the place, Lois Rumbel printed the labels and Sharon Mast was also a big help to me getting some of the addresses I could not find. Everyone has been a big help. Invitations went out to Mr Stopper, Mr Desmond, Mrs DeNoia, Miss Felton (now Bartlet) and Mr Davis (who also happened to attend Eddystone H.S. and was well known there. We all hope we see each and every one of them. Also an invitation went out to our webmaster, John, who, thiout him, this could not have happened. We hope to see you there!!

Hey everybody, I just got my invitation and am really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Is there anyone that was in my class that is checking out this website? Please get in touch with me at my email address that's posted. Whoever came up with the idea to get this together is a genius! Thanks so much! I looked through some of the messages but not all. Did someone say that they got in touch with Mr. Stopper and will he be there? Mrs. DeNoia too? Too cool!! Waiting to hear from anyone who remembers me. One thing I remember is the dances on Friday night with Mrs. Eisel and the old 45's we used to play!

WELL!!!!THE INVITATIONS ARE IN THE MAIL!!!!!
Invitations were all mailed out on Sat the 15th. I sent over 400 invitations out and hope we have not missed too many people. Anyone who visits this site or talks to someone who has received an invitation, remember, we may have been thinking of you but could not find you. Please send a check and write it out to: TRAINER SCHOOL REUNION, P.O. Box 244, Essington, Pa 19029-0244. The cost is $25.00 per person. Everyone who ever went to Trainer and their significant other are invited. As much as we would love to see all your children and grandchildren, children are not invited this year. Perhaps in future years we will come up with an idea for a reunion with children included. (anyone who wants to take that one on, can do so)
Please email me at the above address with any questions or suggestions. Anyone who would like to help, please contact myself or Sherry (warder) thru this site or by email.
Sherry and I still cannot believe this has actually come to fruition!! We look forward to seeing all the wonderful people we had so much fun growing up with, and of course, hope all the teachers we have found will come and join us.

Bonnie Okon, visited with your Mom last summer, she still looks good and is as funny as always. Laurie, when are you coming back East? Maybe, we can meet, I think you were the baby that Anita took care of, Effie and Cletis were closer in age to me. If anyone would love to suggest an idea, or offer to help form some committes, please feel free to post it, or send an e-mail to Vel or me. We'll appreciate any input that you have to offer.

Reading these messages brought back so many good memories. One note sent to Mom will get to all of us, she still lives on Chestnut. Ira and Steve live with Mom, Betty Lou (Warfel) is in Boothwyn and Becky (Baines) lives in Newark, DE. I see Sherry often at family gatherings and has kept me informed of the reunion and reminding me to sign in. I was searching the internet for something and Old Chester Reunions popped up and reminded me while on-line. Sledding down Chestnut Hill seemed to take forever. The hill doesn't look so big now, only danger was not being able to stop before going across 9th Street.

Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to mention that the invitations have this web address on it so anyone who receives an invitation and has a sibling or someone else who went to Trainer school and does not get an invitation, they are more than welcome to get the return address and send a check in to attend. I am sure I have missed alot of folks along the way but I think with the new ones I just got there are over 400 invitations going out. With most being couples, we hope to have a great response.
ALSO, ALL SPOUSES ARE INVITED!!!!!!!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEPT. 25TH!!!

I'll let my sisters know of the site and reunion. Susan Okon Boates and Cheryl Mullett Billbrough. Reading all the messages about Trainer Rocks. school and the sledding on the hill sure brought back memories. Can't wait to hear from others.

Hello Everyone,
I am getting ready to send my list of names and addresses to Lois for the labels to be printed. If anyone has a doubt that they or someone else is not on the list, please email me asap. I will be sending the list within the next few days. I know there are a lot of names that were given to me but no addresses. I have spent every spare minute getting them into our list but have run out of time to look so many up. It is better to have dup names sent to me and to sort out than to have an old school friend you wanted to see not get an invitation. If anyone have Brenda or Linda Talley's add, please email me..Thanks

Hi Nancy Kelley...How are things with you? What's up in Trainer?

I guess I still have time to sort it out.. I have to tell you it is SOOOOO cool to receive messages from THAT house...If someone had told me that you would be 1)Living in Anitas old house and that 2) You would be sending me electronic messages to MY place in CALIFORNIA!

I've been receiving some great emails lately with alot of new names. Janet, thanks for all the new names from Trainer class of 49. I will try to look up as many as I can and then post the missing with John. The invitations will be going out the beginning of May. I will be sending the list to Lois for labels to be printed and mailed to me by the middle of April. Once the names on the list are mailed, we will accept all new names and addresses and I will have extra invitations to send out thru out the time span before the monies are due. Anyone who has any information on the people on the missing link are encouraged to email them to me as soon as possible. It only takes a minute and I am sure they will be happy that you did.. Thanks
Remember, any change you can start saving from now until Sept. 25th and would like to change into bills and drop into our fund for this website would be greatly appreciated

Sherry, I forgot to tell you. my son, Richard got some good photos of the rocks. He was down in the rocks and got photos at an angle as if you were down in the rocks yourself. There's photo of the rock they called the whale, and the rocks doesn't look that small when you are down in them. I'm going to e-mail them to john so he can put them on the site. Nancy

Hi! Sherry,
I saw Trudy Lewis out the farmer market on Saturday, she said she would like to join us for lunch. Have you heard from Ruthie? As soon we hear from her we can make plans. Where would you think is a good place to go? We can go to Chi Restaurant, Tom Jones, Elleot's or some other place. I'm going to e-mail Ruthie again since the weather is really nice now maybe she be able to get up. Tuesday's look good for a day to go. So let me know, e-mail me or phone me. Take Care, Nancy

Hi All, I sure remember having a Hawaiian Lual in the 7th or 8th grade. Also having our first prom in 8th grade in the gym. How excited we were!!!!I remember by brother John chaperoning me and driving me around with my date. Those were the days!!! I remember having Mrs. Jacobsen (1st grade), Mrs. Hershey(2nd) and her turtle pitysing, Mrs. Hamilton (3rd grade), Miss Felton (4th grade), Mr. Stopper(5th grade), Miss Wilkinson (7th grade), and Mr. Desmond (8th grade). I saw Mr. Desmond a few months back and he still looks the same, just a little older like the rest of us. I also remember crossing the Trainer rocks, without my parents knowing, to go to the Trainer Swimming Pool. Now, they need something like that for the kids around here today. Those were great times! My brother , John, and Chick Miller are best friends to this day. Chick grew up next door to us. We lived on Anderson St. across from Mr. Fehls store. Well, it's great reading all these wonderful memories. Sure feels good to look back. Those were the days when you were free and just having fun. Glad to see we have a date for the reunion. And thanks Vel for getting it altogether.

To Chickie Miller...Just in case you check out this site...I have many great memories of you and your family..I can remember sitting on the screened-in porch with your Dad when I was VERY young and watching "Sea Hunt"..I also remember your dog Tramp..I loved that dog! Hope to see you here in the near future! To Sherry Warder..For the life of me I cannot remember you, your brother or your sister! I cannot imagine that as I lived and hung around the area quite a bit back when..I too hung out with Mike Pubuski (we were in Sally Olivers wedding as flowergirl and ringbearer!)...some of those I do remember were Billy Tobin and Skip(cannot remember his last name) who lived with his grandmother right across the street from the Pubuskis, and Rob Stravinski...I am racking my brain and cannot come up with a face for the name...If you have any pictures you could download to my e-mail, my address is sugarmagnolia73@hotmail.com..Maybe that will jar my jarhead! It was great to hear you relate the story of the Bobby Rydell poster...I can just see Aunt Anita charging up there! Also remember Karen rushing home as "Bandstand" was on! I would love to hear more stories and even better, if you have any photos of you and Karen, etc, I would love to see them:) Thanks for sharing your memories..Laurie

Vel, spoke with Chick Miller tonight, told him abt the web-page. He gave me a couple of names, I'll get the addresses to you. It's starting to take off in a great direction!!! Laurie, lived behind Florence and Frank Fisher. Warder is my maiden name. You may know Crystal or Jamie, Mike Pubusky & Jamie were best buddies growing up. I remember Effie staying with Aunt Anita, Cletis came around once in a while. They were a lil younger then me. Karen and I had a fun time growing up-(especially when we tried to hang a poster of Bobby Rydell on her ceiling-standing on the bed- I can remember falling backwards and hitting my head. Anita flew up the steps, "what a surprise!" I can't remember if we actually did get the poster to stay on the ceiling. Do remember the big knot on my head!!!) It is funny when we think of happy memories, thinking it will never end-ha-ha. Franny, I think you were in 7th and 8th grade with me. Eddie Petit was in our class also. Well, starting to sound blah-blah, Pass the word around abt the site, even if people send in some names and addresses to the e-mail address above. I don't know any cheers to get it going. Did we have cheerleaders in Trainer youth club? Did we have a youth club?

Laurie, because we see you often on this site and you were friends with so many of the Trainer kids, I have included you on our invitation list. We hope to see you there also.
I was looking at the picture of Trainer school on the front of this site and realized I cannot count the fingers on both hands of how many times I ever used the front door. I believe the only occasion that comes to mind was for the Christmas program. Maybe it was because we were always dressed up and parked out front with our parents..

Sherry from Prospect Park..You asked about my brother and sister, Cletis and Effie...You also said you hung around with my cousin Karen..What is your last name? Anyway, Cletis is married and lives in Florida..He has 2 daughters from his first wife, Jennifer and Chrissy. Effie lives in Eagle, Pa and works locally at a resturant. I drove through Trainer recently..I even had my picture taken at Aunt Anitas old house (which is where Nancy Long lives now!)I remember how cool I thought I was roller skating up and down that sidewalk right outside her house...Don't mess with me, I have a SKATE KEY! Worn proudly around my neck!!...Trainer looked great! As always, everything looks smaller! I really love that town and hope I can make it for the reunion..even though I did not go to Trainer School...but I sure wanted to!! Take care...Laurie

Lois, Chicks name is Charles C. Jr., he is a chiropractor in Springfield, Pa. The mansion was down by the spring-12th street, toward the rocks, there was a well worn path there by Kyles house. (across from VFW) The foundation was there for years, can remember getting some of the stones for a garden project. Jerrys diner was on 9th street, next to Joes junkyard. Hey, Jerry are you going to make it to Pa for the reunion? Hope to see you, Opy, Jackie and alot of others.

Pat, thanks for the update on the cost, Joe said he wasn't sure if they would be increasing the rates before the reunion. Also,www.The Lagoon ExperiencePa.com has some interesting facts abt locations in Essington- Philadelphia area. It's a airport town with many motels, different price ranges. Laurie, How is Effie doing? She and Cletis were at Aunt Anitas house when Karen and I hung out. Joe Dongell-(never want to give our age away,) you were a cute little boy they called Joey. Kathy and Linnies lil brother. You had alot of the same teachers that we had. Mrs Dare and Mrs Wilkins must have retired by the time you reached 6th grade. Mrs Dare was art and geography, I think. Mr Desmond was history and gym, Wilkins was whatever (brainfreeze) We also had a MR Dougherty for English. Who did science? We were the 1st class for Mr Stopper and Miss Felton at Trainer school, Rich Holmes , Larry Long, & Nancy Cole can help my memory on that one. We watched the Kitty Hawk go down the Delaware River from the music room. It was a big to-do. So many good, funny memories surround us. Ok, there was a mansion down by the spring, it did have people in it many years ago. My Aunt Dot couldn't remember their names, maybe someone can ask their parents if they know. Vel and Lois hope all is going well with you. Lois, did you get you phone line fixed? Have a great day!! Keep up the fabulous memories everyone

LOVED the pictures of the rocks! They indeed, do look smaller...as does everything when we "Go back". Larry Long, I love reading your memories of Trainer as I did similar things, just a few years later! You guys had the best house as it backed up against the back field.. although I remember your Mom being worried about fires back there! You remember my cousin Karen that lived with Anita and Leon (In your sisters house) right? She went to all of those dances, etc.. She actually dated Chickie Miller briefly...and a few others whose names evade my memory at the moment:) Laurie

Pat, Thanks for the update on the rooms. That will help alot of people coming from out of town. I will probably add that cost on the invitations. I'm surprised they won't take reservations until Aug. I've made resv. a few months ahead anywhere. oh well. Also remember everyone, there are alot of Hotels and Motels in Delaware and with 95 it is a hop skip and jump up there. I think the cost might be lower also. I know the Best Western on 273 is not that high.

I've got lots of great Trainer memories. I went to first through 6th grades, from 1960-1968. I think I had Mrs. Jacobson (1st), Miss Hersey (2nd), Miss Ellis (3rd), Miss Felton (4th), Mr. Winston (5th), and Mr. Pierce (6th). Also in the 6th I had Mr. Clark for literature or reading. I recall that he claimed to have been in the movie "4-D Man" (or something like that). Mr. Pierce had been a submariner in the Navy, and liked to walk around the classroom tapping a yardstick on the floor. I remember that he liked to run a tight ship, and that there were some exciting moments of discipline in the class. Mr. Winston was a great teacher, and (surprise) a naturally gifted athlete. He would often go out with us at recess to play softball or football, and sometimes he would get the PE teacher (a Mr. Klump, who looked like he pumped iron a lot) to choose up sides of boys and play tag football. In Miss Felton's class I remember being teamed up with Richard Ware, Billy Simmons, and Joey Davis to run film projectors. In Miss Ellis' class, all I can say was that I was in love with her all year long. I seem to remember that she was a runner-up in a Miss Pennsylvania contest. She had lost an arm in (I think) a private plane crash. I was absent ONE DAY the whole year, and on that day (I was told) she took her arm off to show the class. I think she moved on to the high school and married a Mr. Goff. Boy was I crushed to hear that! In Mrs. Hersey's class, all I remember is that she once wrote on one of my papers that the periods at the end of my sentences were too faint. So on my next paper I made all of my periods into big black balls the size of capital O's. Well, a note was sent home to my mother, and I was given a spanking that night for acting so rebelliously(!) In Mrs. Jacobson's class I remember her wearing a perfume that seemed so strong to me that I always felt like coughing when she came to look at my paper. I remember also that she got so frustrated with one student (I forgot who) who kept failing to recognize the word "airplane" that she finally outlined the word on the board and made the "p" and the "l" look like wings. For a few days I lived under the impression that that's how words were made! Friends I remember from the neighborhood (I lived on lower Sunset Ave, not up in the "new homes") were Freddie Owens and Tim Cislo especially. Then I remember Gracie and Carol Calise (across the street), the Draper family up at Sunset and 12th, and the Hayden family on 12th down near the Creek towards Highland Ave. At school I remember folks like Georgie Berraro, Susan Okon, Brenda Talley, Cy Moreland, Jackie Massey, Donald Segillo, Richard Ware, Billy Simmons, Robert Taylor, Oliver (?), Bernadette St.. Dewey (?), Suzanne Stone, Deborah Handy... Other names I'm afraid I'm confused about. I'd sure love to see a class list. Also, I walked to school all six years, crossed over 9th street near the rocks, and walked under the railroad tracks. Hated it when a train went over when I was under there, but loved watching the trains from the playground. Well, I could go on and on. In looking through some of the Emails I didn't see many names of my class mates (except Brenda Talley and Susan Okon). Oh, back then I was known as "Joey." I guess we all grow up some day.

Sherry, I remember the spring, and portions of the spring house, down behind Kyles. I also remember a few times in the summer we would get some cardboard and slide down the hill next to the path by the spring house. At that time it seemed like lots of fun, the grass was high and warm and on a hot summer day we would lie on the cardboard at the top of the hill look at the glouds. (the best box was the ones for washing machines, still together) Like you said no one was aloud down at the rocks but everyone went one time.

Caroline - Thanks for sharing the photos of the rocks. They sure have shrunk over the years or have we just grown taller?
My parents wouldn't give us permission to cross those rocks to go to the pool but we snuck (sp) down there anyway. I can remember them being pretty slippery. The last time I was in Trainer the park was patrolled by a police officer. The guilt feeling of being where I wasn't supposed to be sure came rushing back.
Thanks for the memories.

Hi! to everyone/ Hope everyone is well. The Trainer School was closed in 1981. My daugther went to Trainer for first grade. Then they closed the that summer. I remember going out to picket the high school in the fall, my oldest son was only a infant at the time . I left him the car with my mother while I was picketing at the high school. When they closed Trainer School those who voted there had to go to the Trainer Fire House on 3rd St.I think those who voted at Louth's garge now go down to the chuch hall on 9th St.,But I'm going to check with Joanne Guiard since her husband. The school was reopened when the district remodeled Boothwyn Elem., they sent all of Boothwyn kids to Trainer until the school was finst.Then when they remodeled MarusHook School, they did the same with the kids from there. Do anyone know what happen to Richard Nichalos, Jimmey Giles, Judy Fulmer,Cherly Fritz, Danny Fritz Nancy Summer. Does anyone remember the boy name ,I think,David, he use to play in the trash barrel that was at the back door of the school. He use to climb inside the barrel and pretend it was a airplane. One day Ruthie Pierson brougth a dog biscut back from her house and dared him to eat it & he did. The school had alot of damage done to it when the school district used the school for storage. They left holes in the floors were you could see to the basement. The lunch room was remoled, they tore out all the wood cabinets out& stove, refrig., they made it all one room,they put those tables that the school's have now in the room.They didn't cook lunch there, they brougth the lunch in from aother school every day.They also made what was the libary that was upstairs as the principal office. They took the big table & the big leather chairs went some were, never know what happened to them. Maybe Mrs. Magraw will know? I know they didn't do much to the gym. They use to all the for basketball for the kids.The kids use to play baseball in back of the school for TYYA. Then in the winter, TYYA would have kids go bowling at Conchester Lanes on the Conchester.Also they use to do archery out at Middletown Archery Club across the street from Penncrest High School. Trainer still have Easter egg hunts for the kids in Johnson Park &4th of July Pinic up in the park.. They drive Santa around on top of the fire truck & give out stuff aminals to kids under 1 &candy canes to everyone. They also judge the Christmas ligths for the best. Then they have the Christmas party at the broug. hall. So Trainer is still a nice place to raise your family in. MarcusHook, Boothwyn,&Linwood schools all still do class parties for the kids,only thing that is different is they don't give out the prizes for best costume at Halloween like we use to get. They still have a dinner dance for the kids that go form elementy to middle school& from middle school to high school. So some of the nice things we had as kid growing up in Trainer is being done for them now. Iforgot that at the Christmas party all the kids form birth to 12yrs. get a Christmas gift.Plus a little snack. I hope this help with some things Trainer still do for the chikern of Trainer.

Sherry, Thanks for the update. Actually, my brother Rich is also looking into the site for Sept 25th. He will probably know some of the administrative staff there. If possible, I would really like to have Rich work on this project. He is very persuasive....Will keep you posted. Lois, I will check into the insurance and have Rich ask them about it. They may be familiar with how and if we can go about it. Addresses continue to mount up. I will be sending them over to Lois the middle of March for her to print address labels. The invitations are done and I will send one out for review to both Sherry and Lois. Thanks all for getting addresses to me. Sharon Mast said she just mailed me 4 pages of new ones and also put it on the Chichester broadcast.

Vel, Lois, Larry, Went to BP (Sinclair) to find out abt the day visit. Lois, I parked my car and walked around the school waiting for someone to come out to ask why I was there-NOONE came. One time you need a person, they aren't there!! Walked into the office, did get a phone number to call, left a message, hopefully, he will call back Still have a couple of people I know that work there, with luck, we may get an answer soon. Vel and Lois how are the addresses coming along? My pc is still down, so I write thru the site, I'll call this week-end with any news abt BP. Walked into Als restaurant, not the same, no juke box, they added a room onto the back. Question, what was the lil fat woman who served the food, had dark hair, short woman name??? I keep getting MOMS from Eddystone in my head, but there was a woman who told us to get out of Als when it got too noisy. Can't believe how the rocks have changed. Does anyone remember the spring that was near the mansion? We walked down Kyles path to get to the rocks. Nice day down memory lane. Buildings and trees looked so much bigger when we were young. That's my news for the day. Have a great day everyone. Pat,(grissly) please hold back from sending any e-mail, my e-mail is still frozen, can't get any mail. "Still waiting for repair guy"!!

Vel - I'm really going out on a limb with this idea but maybe someone who's on this list knows something about insurance. I just remembered - Trudy Lewis is in the insurance business. Maybe she can answer the question.
If BP is willing to open the school for 1 day, could we purchase a 1 day liability insurance policy?
2 years ago when my brother and I parked in the lot and walked around the school a security guard from BP came over to ask if we wanted to buy the building!
Here's hoping we can do it!

I stopped by Nancys place in Trainer a couple of Saturdays ago and no was home...Trainer looks the same..which is a good thing! And by the way, I ate Wise chips while I was there.. My real craving however was the cheesesteaks! Had one as soon as I got into town! They have a Philly Cheesesteak Restaurant but it is NOT the same! Laurie

Vel, is there any way possible of getting the old school building or grounds open for the reunion. May be nice to see some of the old class rooms, like the lunch room in the basement where sometimes a hot lunch was served and .05 bag of WISE chips (WISE chips is a bad word in Nottingham, home of HERR'S chips) or get into the gym area or hall ways. Just a thought. Do they still use the old gym or Harry Louth's garage for a voting place in Trainer?

Nancy-I was in town last week and came by.. The dogs barked but no one answered the door.. Actually, I came by a week ago Saturday..which would have been February 7th..Sorry I missed you.. I just read about your children...How can you have a 30 year old when YOU are 30?!(Hee-Hee!) It was nice to see the neighborhood.. It has not changed much...I do not remember their being a fence around the basketball court.. I noticed Anitas old house looks the same with a few changes here and there...It is cool that you live a block from where you grew up.. You could find your way home with a blindfold on:) Take care..

Hi, everyone. Lois, hope you had a nice Florida vacation. Crystal, Vel, Pat and Angie, received your e-mails, can't get into my mailbox, it's been a long week without being able to write to everyone. Repair man, hopefully, tonight!! Angie, I really wanted to talk with you. Soon as I'm able, I'll answer. Weather is starting to let up. Wasn't as bad as last year. Pat, again, I went out to check some motels, Embassy (Bartram Ave) and Rennaisance seem nice, with pools. Vel, Paul and I didn't get to the bank last Saturday, it was a nasty mess up in Pa. Not sure if Paul had any flooding, I'll call him this week. Again, word of mouth seems to be the key to getting more addresses. Nancy, you are doing a terrific job -great PR person. Enjoy the day!

Sherry, thanks for the info-Walt and I want some place romantic to stay if we are going to be away for the week-end; the reunion day sounds like it will be wonderful and the cost is terrific-not too much for those of us having to spend for lodging-such good planners you guys are. Sherry do you know if Donna and gene plan to attend-since her computer crashed I have only had a chance to speak to her a couple of times, but not since the plans were finalized. I hope she comes, I miss my good friend a lot. Her and I were very close-Vel, remember it was always-Warder, Ware, and Wiser-ha ha.

Richard Tutlo, Thanks for the address.. THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT, FOLKS!!!!lol Elaine, are you married to Eddie Petitt? Please send me your address. Dotty, How are you? Long time, no see. It has been alot of yrs. I hope Libby will be able to make it and also your brother. I don't remember him. He may have been older than me. How have you been? I already added your name months ago and have wanted to call you just to see how you were. I will one of these days. I try to make a few calls each night and over the weekend. (free minutes)..
It's great to see so many people responding positively to our reunion!!! The closer it gets, the more nervous I get.. I'm sure I can vouch for Sherry and Lois also. Any suggestions or ideas, folks, let us know.
One thing we would definitely like to keep in mind is how wonderful this site is...it has started a ball rolling toward something people only dream about...a return to our childhood. I feel John (our webmaster) has been the driving force for this and we need to remember that at the reunion, sooooo open the piggy banks, bring your loose change, dollar bills (even $100 dollar bills from the rich ones) and help to fund this wonderful site. We sometimes do not realize the cost involved and John is footing the bill alone....

Pat, good question. The Lagoon is located where the "Walbers on the Delaware" used to be, next to the Governor Printz Park . Didn't get a chance to see the rooms, will go back to check it out soon. The motels in this area have outside pools that close on Labor Day. Renaissance Hotel has an indoor pool, plus, fitness room. It's newer, abt a mile away from Lagoon, www.renaissancehotels.com Dennys is next to the Red Roof Inn on the Industrial highway. Romanos Sandwich Shop Wanamaker Ave has a good selection of sandwiches. Lehmans Restaurant Wanamaker Ave has good sea food. For those who have cars, Dicostanzas hoagie shop is on Market Street in Linwood. Preston diner is still on Industrial highway, newly renovated. These are some of the place in walking distance of the Lagoon. www.experiencePA.com (type in the lagoon) It gives you places in the area also. Hope this has been some help. There will be more posted, thanks for the questions. It will be fun, I'm sure alot of our Trainerites will help with some of the taxiing of their childhood friends. Have a Great Day! Let's Party!!

Pat, good question, didn't look at the rooms when we were booking the place. It's the Old Walbers on the Delaware. Has been renovated in the past 10yrs. Next to the Governor Printz Park. www.experiencePA.com- search (the lagoon) It will give you different places around town. Most of the motels up here have outside pools that close on Labor Day. Renaissance Hotel is newer, has a pool and fitness room. www.renaissancehotels.com. It's a motel town off I-95. Remember driving to the airport to watch the planes? ha-ha, at least, that's what we said!! Industrial Highway is built up. Dennys is next to the Red Roof Inn, Preston Diner is still there, has been renovated also. Romanos Sandwich shop Wanamaker Ave Esington has good hoagies. Dicostanza sandwich shop is still in Linwood on Market street for those who have cars. Lehmans Resturant (good sea-food) is also on Wanamaker Ave. Hope this gives you some idea of the locations. It will be so great seeing everyone again. I'm sure, there will be alot of us close by that can help with traveling arrangements. Party Time!!!

Hey, does anyone who lives in the area know what the rooms at the Lagoon are like? We kind of would like to know before booking there, does it have any extras like a pool or anything. Vel, is that where you intend to stay? I'd like to be able to chat with you awhile and not stay too far from where you will be-let me know. I sure hope the hoagies and steaks are as great as I remeber, but those of you in the area will have to let me know the best place to get one since most I knew of have probably closed down in the past 15 years since I have been back in the area. Can't wait to see old friends there again. If you remeber me, please feel free to e-mail me at home, would love to hear from you all.

I remember one of them used to live on Township Line Road many moons ago...My former mother in law said she still took her car to be fixed at Longs up until she moved to New Jersey in 2000..She always thought he did a great job...One of your e-mails mentioned your son-do you have just one child? Here is an off-the-wall question, what ever happened to that doll house you had? I remember that I loved that thing! I also thought your parents lived in a great spot.. but remember the fires that would crop up in that back field.. Must have made you guys nervous! Talk to you soon.. Laurie

Hi Nancy.. Thanks for responding! It was nice to hear from you.. Sorry to hear of Mrs. Miller.. I can remember sitting on her screened-in porch (because it was SO hot in the house) watching Sea Hunt with her husband, I think his name was Cliff.. which had to be VERY early '60's..and of course, I was one of MANY that had a crush on Chickie:) I have been e-mailing back and forth with Michelle Walker and that has been nice reminiscing.. She was surprised that I remembered when the fire dept. iced over the basketball court down the street there so we could ice skate on it! Do you still live at 1236 Anderson?

I talked with Charlene Wilkerson's mother. Helen passed away and she didn't have Charlene's new address yet but I said I would call her this Sat and see if she has it then.. I received a lot more names this week. Approx. 20 and will be adding them to the list. I finally got the list straightened out. I think I may have not highlighted everything when I was putting into alpha. order. I'll be sending you a message also about the maiden names and explain why I was doing it the way I was. If you have anymore names ANYONE please send them over so we can add them. Sherry has done a great job of finding a place, etc and I think it will be a GREAT TIME!!! It should be posted here very shortly. I have been copying the emails from this site and sent out a memo requesting a physical address for the invitations. PLEASE try to email them soon. Sherry, myself and a couple of my sisters will be doing all the mailings in a month or so.

How great it is to see all of the new names on the page. Peg, your dad store is remembered well, there have been a few posting mentioning his store. Ruthie, thanks for the reply, it has been a few years, was that your 8th grade prom that Andrea and I helped you wtih, doing your hair and whatever else. Kids don't share prom gowns or stuff like we did. Thanks to sisters or friends we could always get a dress together for some dance. Mickey, we did have some fun times walking the streets of Trainer, thinking that we owned the place. Nancy, hate to do this, ( I'll feel old) you had the cutest smile when you were so little. Gosh, it seems funny trying to remember all the different stories, shared memories, times we thought would go on forever. Now, we can laugh at the different phases of our lives and be thankful that we survived crazy things. Well, to all, pass the word around abt the web-site, plus the upcoming reunion- date will be announced soon. Have a great day!

Hi!
Hi! To all my old friends from Trainer School. I am still in Trainer, lois, Do you remember when we walked to school in the mornings if it was raining my grandfather would pick up kids on the way to school in his truck , by time we got to school we had the back of truck full kids. Then on Halloween the other place we always stop at was Mr.& Mrs. Becks house were we got hot dogs and cider there to. Mrs. Beck could never tell my brothers and me apart, she would say ,All I know is you are a Long, because of our dark brown eyes. Does anyone remember when we would ask Mr. Desmond to do a cartwheel in the gym and all of his change would fall out of his pockets on to the floor. To Linn, I remember when Kathy was playing volley ball in the gym when she went to hit the ball and landed on her foot wrong, she thought she sprained her foot but broke it. Clifton Stemple is some place in Ridley Park I think that what he told me when he was putting my gas line to my house. Joey Welsh I think may have pass, I will check with his niece.

Ruth - I am so happy you have posted! You were one of my "classmates" that I've been searching for since this website was built.
Living in Michigan for over 30 years - I had absolutely no hope of finding the kids that attended Trainer School with me.
I've asked several folks if they knew where you had gone - and now you are found! I remember walking home from school with you and ice skating at the end of your street on a pond (?) or some other water hole that froze in the winter.
Are you in contact with Trudy? Seems the two of you were really good friends. Or Bonnie Webb? Charlene Wilkerson and Thelma Gammon?
Will you ask Nancy Long to post too? We'd love to hear from her.
Keep in touch - Lois

Hi Group! Wow, does this take me back. I seem to remember almost all the names I see here. Nancy Kelley (Long) sent me a note about this in her Christmas card. Talk about a blast from the past. Marie, I remember you from being with Rose Mary Moran; although it's DeMaio now, and she lives in DE. I also remember Mrs. Hershey in 2nd grade. Miss Felton in 4th. Mr. Stopper in 5th (before he "moved on up" to the Jr High Principal). And who could forget Mr. Desmond, with those long, long bowed legs, and long, long feet! I have to think a little more about the group. It will have to be later, though, the group is stirring, so today's rush is about to begin. I think I may have a little info to help. Nice to hear from everyone. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
In earlier postings folks reminisced about the penny candy we bought at the diner next to Trainer School.
I found a website that sells lots of those candies. It's at www.hometownfavorites.com
They package boxes for different decades: 50's, 60's, 70's, etc. They also sell it by the package. I bought a box from the 60's for my husband. It had the dots that came on the long paper, the wax bottles with the sweet liquid, Skybar, Clark bar, a black licorice pipe, Beeman's gum, walnut chews, Mary Janes and much much more.
Wanted to share the fun with all of you.

Hi Larry,
We already ran the gambit with Johson park. In order to have it there, we would have to have vendors and jeanne Taylor Beck pretty well said vendors will not prepay for the fda inspections, permits etc for a one day affair. And we were also concerned about rain. Since a lot of folks will be coming a distance, again for a one day affair, we can't count on the weather. Thanks for the imput, Larry. We appreciate that..

As far as the reunion and keeping with the idea of Trainer memories along with keeping cost down, have you thought of up setting large tents in Johnson Park. E-Mail me. I'm in the area from time to time, I'll take a look at Johnson Park to see if it will work.

Hazel, thanks for the pictures. I sent it to my sister Vicki, who also was in your class. It'll be fun trying to identify everyone. Do you remember your 3rd gade teachers name and some of your classmates. The ridge is still there, they have taken down a few houses, put up a park (Henry Johnson park) behind the ridge. Remember going down to the rocks and thinking that they were sooo big! Georgia, tell Millie that I do remember her, she was in some of my classes. The Fuller girls, remember the names, but like the Warder girls,(4 of us) I can't remember who was in my class. Thought my name was "which one are you??" Life goes on, many years later we're trying to recall alot of funny stories. As Vel said, I could use some ideas in getting a place for our reunion. Let's get it started, so we can ready by next October. By the way, Larry Long, your grandfathers house is up for sale, seemed like he lived there forever when we were little.

In June, while on this website, I noted having gone to The Wesleyan Church and knowing the Dongells. Through this email, I met a wonderful women named Betty Snyder Darsch. She contacted me and said she also was from Trainer and now lived in Brooksville, Fl. which is about 10 miles from my home. Needless to say, we not only started emailing but also became very close friends in the course of 5 months. She and her husband, Bob, and my husband and I had many great times, attending church together, going out to lunch on Sundays and visiting each others homes many times. I am very sad to report, Betty passed away on Thursday, Nov. 13th while I was in Delaware visiting. To all Trainerites, I am so sorry you missed the opportunity to know this wonderful lady. She will be dearly missed by my husband and I, but I am so glad to had the chance to know her.
If anyone who reads this would like her husband's address to send a card, please email me at the above email address.

Someone mentioned Bens store and I thought to myself how much I missed stores like that..ones that ran a tab...I loved that store as it had SO much in it! It was always jammed packed..Sure, "Felsies" (I know, it is spelled wrong) was a convenient store (I lived with my Aunt Anita Wilgis on Anderson Avenue) but if you wanted the latest comic books (Archie was my favorite) you went to Bens...One of my favorite things to do at Felsies was when he let me come back and look at his pigeons...I believe they were carrier pigeons? Would love to hear more thoughts on the local stores...

Remember going to Trainer dances with Rosemary Moran. We went to Rez, but that didn't stop us from going to those great dances. My aunt was Grace Calise from Sunset Street. Remember a lot of kids from that area. The Hayden family, the Ware family. Remember going to Ben's to pick up food and putting it on Aunt Grace's tab. Can't do that anymore. Sharon Schreffler is still a good friend of mine. I'm also related to the Johnson family. Mr. Johnson, Uncle Henry, was married to my mother and Grace Calise's oldest sister, Aunt Emmy. Related to Connie Reynolds, Carol and Grace Phillips, Michael and Ryan Reynolds. What a great place to live/hang out back then. Remember sledding down hill behind the Henderson's on Sunset Street. Halloween parties in Aunt Grace's cellar and bobbing for apples. Lived in the litte doll house next to Grace Calise.
We're having our 2nd reunion for Rez tomorrow. Good luck with your reunion! They are the best. I had more fun with kids we went to grade school with. Not as good a time with the high school reunions.
Hope everyone enjoys. Sharon, get in touch with me. We have to do the movies with Connie soon.

I don't think any of us realized just how wonderful the memories were going to be years later. I was thinking today, I shouldn't be keeping this website a secret from my own children, etc. I emailed the link to them so they could share also in some of our memories.

Hello Linny---
Loved reading all those memories you wrote. Three-legged race, potato sacks, egg toss, etc. Do kids do those things anymore, I wonder? Do they clap the blackboard erasers outside anymore? Or has that been outlawed as a health hazard? (I think my lungs are STILL coated with chalk dust!)
I loved those book fairs also. Weekly Reader and Highlights Magazine served as excellent tools to inspire us to read.
Halloween was so much fun...as we paraded from class to class. The prize for costume winners was a silver dollar!
Does anybody remember the handbell that was used to signal the change of class periods? Some lucky student would be assigned the task of strolling the halls and ringing the bell between periods (since we didn't have a P.A. system)
I agree with you, Linny...those teachers were great! Besides classroom instruction, they volunteered their time on numerous projects which would benefit our development.
Good times!

Hey there, everyone! I've been thinking some more about my days at Trainer, and thought I'd add more memories to the list. Remember the annual Halloween parties, when we got to go home at lunch, and come back dressed up in costumes? How about Valentines Days, and decorating the white "baker's" bags, and then putting in valentines; the "Field Day " at the end of May, with games, races, hot dogs, etc. Seems like we decorated the halls and/or windows with construction paper profiles for Lincoln's Day, Washington Day, Thanksgiving, St Patrick's and probably more. Remember the "Weekly Reader"; and book fairs? I seem to remember that in 5th grade, Mr Stopper wanted us to realize the importance of saving money for the future - for education or whatever we might need it for. He offered to get a savings account set up at a local bank for anyone who wanted to do that; and then each week, we could bring him the money and he would deposit it and we could check the bank book each time to see how the account would grow. We had some great teachers at that school! Look forward to seeing everyone next year.

Hello Everyone,
Well, I decided to look for a job and got the first one I applied for (which I was hoping I wouldn't. Will be started back full time so will not have as much time to spend on looking for addresses. Alot of you have said you have addresses for me but to date I still have not received them. Please take a minute of your time and email them to me. Thanks.. I let my new boss know about the reunion so I wouldn't have any problem getting the time off next October. Figured I would nip that in the bud asap. LOL..I look forward to receiving alot of new addresses soon. I will be call the ones i found this week over the weekend to verify they are the right people and will be able to delete a few more names.

Martin - Thanks for posting your message. Many of the folks who have left the area have asked about the diner. Everyone has very fond memories of eating homemade pies, snowcones and penny candy. The old jukebox in the back provided lots of entertainment during lunch hour.
Two of my favorite memories of the diner are playing Little Stevie Wonder's, Fingertips, until we almost wore the record out and sitting out front on the bench singing She Loves Me Yeah Yeah Yeah by the Beatles!
Love the idea of sending old photos. Will it be okay to send them electronically via e-mail? I have 2 or 3 I'd like to share from 1964.

We lived across from Alan and Charlotte Henderson. Considering you and I have belonged to the same fraternity (Delaware Lodge 37)for years sure proves you just never know what new things you'll learn! Hope to see you in lodge...Larry

Hello Trainerites, USA...Class of 1969. I love this site. My son told me about it, recently. just had time to view it..now. My son just finished up his senior year at the University of Jacksonville State. What a year! So proud that he received his degree in pre-med {biology}...and hasn't any other plans {such as girls} to defeat his following through with biology. I'm a proud father, he's got a HEAD on his shoulders! Not pursuing for affectionate women, or the heat-of-the-moment. No sir!! He knows women!! well, let's save the success for talk about the good-ol-days.

Hey Larry Long- how have you been. I sure do remember you all, you used to visit my mom and dad a lot, and I remeber Sonny ( he had a big crush on Linda as I recall) I guess she is doing ok-she doesn't talk to me now going on 10 years-a very long story, I'll share with you at the reunion if you and I meeet there. My husband's name is Walter and we have been married for 39 years now. Beleive it or not I live on a farm in the mountains now-I have even raised sheep and cows at one time and butchered chickens-me the city girl. Oh it will be nice to catch up on each others lives. Have to apologize for my last sloppy transmission-didn't realize my cap key was on. Anyone else out there remember me?

Hi! I attended Woodrow Wilson school in Hammond,Indiana..the 50's and late 59. while my cousins Shelly, and Freddie Houck attended Chi/Trainer. Lovely thoughts! My mother is Dutch-German, still. And, her family came from northeastern PA. Though, I never really cared for Pennsylvania...my Aunt Liz married my favorite uncle, Glenn Houck. We often joked about PA people as kind of southern-like. {It was the slang, and laid-back style of living, evidently.} Because my Uncle Glenn became stationed with the Air force in Brentwood, Tennessee. But, PA people are really friendly, and warm. {sometimes to their demise}. I'm petite, brunette,eyes of blue...and my German-side is with two siblings that have Blonde hair, and blue eyes. Carol is petite. Ed [ex-airman] is more similar. While oldest sibling, Bill [Bartlesville Wesleyan University,'67] is more French. And, to top it off---my nephew Jamie is married to a girl from Allentown,PA. Jamie teaches the under-privilaged kids down south...it's all so amazing. And, I attended a wesleyan denomination..down-town. As Petula clark used to sing..DOWNTOWN But, I've had a wonderful, fun-filled life. Lot's of neices and nephews..and looks definately runs in our family. we are supportive, and not for all-that-education [wesleyan style]it can lead you astray. All BRAIN and no Heart...or Wisdom...whew! Mistakes. {You may have a career, and that's all you'll have}. AMEN

Donna & Sherry it is nice to see that you guys remember me after all these years and we did have some fond memeries in those days. Sherry do you remember playing wire ball at 13th & Chestnut st? (good for a couple hours of fun without getting in trouble) Kids today have no idea what that game may be. Sherry are you still married to Joe Humphies? Pat Wiser, my Dad had and auto repair shop next to you on 9th St and your Dad would come over sometimes, he was interesting to talk with, he even helped me repair a transaxle assy. on a new Corvair. Pat,I met your husband once, don't remember his name. how is Linda doing? There are too many people I would like to talk to or just contact but all in it own time. Trainer School at lunch, on the ball field hitting balls to a group in the out field and some went in the juck yard. Well thats all for now. Larry

Larry, thanks for the confimation of Abbotts field. I remember you, Sonny & your dad working on cars. We all used to get together and walk around for Halloween, better in a group. We did have some fun times on the streets of Trainer. Not being allowed down the rocks, but somehow we never got caught! The big rock on the top of the hill behind your house and the Shaws house. Betty Lou & I used follow the path to reach the rock, thinking we were sooo grown up-wasn't that yesterday? Tell Sonny & Nancy I said hi. Also, is your Aunt Doris still in the neighborhood? As you see we need her address. Thanks

Hello All, still working away on addresses. I will be emailing John with a new list this weekend, deleting ones and adding new names. Seems like every time I think I will finally get the list down, someone sends new names. I think it's great!! Donna, sorry about your computer virus. Was it the sorbig bug. (think that's the word). I got mine from the 9.0 upgrad on aol. Thank god, my virus scan picked it up.Have heard from Linny Dongell a couple of times. She sounds good. I "know" everyone in Trainer would love to see the Dongells. They were a very important family growing up..

Getting back to the Tom Thumb wedding was it in the school gym? all I really remember is there were alot of people and how when they announced all of the guests my mom had bought me a pair of plastic high heels and you could hear people giggle as i click - clicked by!!!!

I have just spent about 1 and 1/2 hours checking out the site. A reunion would be fabulous. I was in the first class to not graduate from Trainer because of the merger with Chi. That would have been 1966. I graduated from chi in 1972. The names of my classmates I remember are Robin Mervine, Lois Gentry, David Faulkner, Chuck Smith, Billy Moss, Barbara Snyder, Margaret Henry, Gloria Borrero, Elaine Orange,Jeff edge, Jody Shockley, Peggy Saltis and other kids from Post Road were Joey Welsh, Claire Welsh, Valerie and Greg Collins, The Latosha's, Janet Curry, David and Donnie Curry, Janie Snyder, Gregory Miley, The Lamplugh's, Angie Dutton and if I think of more I will let you know. It is late and have jury duty tomorrow. It is great to see such a site. Someone said they went to Bandstand to dance. I know my brother Mickey McCall went. He had on desert boots and you could hardly tell he had feet because of the black and white tv sets.

Hi Larry, Yep I remember all the same things. That house on Anderson who served hotdogs and cider was Donna Temples Grandparents (Liscensrings--who knows the spelling!) I remember helping cutting the weeds in the fields (where the "New Homes" are) before they set up the fireworks, and later stamping out little fires started by their sparks! do you think that this may have been part of the reason they stopped having them there! Didn't you have a brother named Sonny and a sister Nancy? Great hearing from you. Get a hold of Vel (Ware)Pointer with that info. Havent talked to Lee McKnight in 20 years! A Crazy nice guy. BettyLou Shaw, your old nextdoor neighbor, is still a Delaware county resident. As are may of the Shaws and their children. Trainer still had a bit of that small town air and close neighborhood feel even when i left my second home there in 1993. Stay in touch

Hi all! A reunion souds great. I graduated from Trainer in 1961, then went on to Eddystone like many of you. Lived in Trainer for over 21 years @4007 w 13th (13th & Chestnut where my Anut Doris Warren lived) Who remembers the July 4th events behine Chick Miller's befor the new houses were built?, the ice creme place next to Buddy's?, when it snowed the firehouse closed the street for sleding and it seemed as if the whole town came out. that was a time when we knew many of the people that lived in Trainer. On Halloween we would go to all the houses between 9th st and Townshipline Rd one stop that was always a treat was at 10th & Anderson. I do remember many of you afterreading your nessages and would like to chat more given more time. Names to add to the list Larry McNight lives in Lincoln University,PA,;Ron Stephens lives in Nottingham as I do; Bill Martin is suppose to be in Dalls, TX in charge of a YMCA, Lee McNight Dave Woodall live in the house that grew up in on Chestnut St. near Township line Rd. I may be able to come up with more. Let me know.
