Class of 1965
Reunion

Great Valley Senior High School's Class of 1965 held a 40 year class reunion Saturday night, October 8, 2005 at the Tribute Hall (Paoli VFW) in Malvern. Preceded by a Friday night "Happy Hour" at Tom and Joanne Fillippo's house, over 40 1965 graduates (plus their spouses) renewed old friendships from years gone by and spent the evenings discussing old memories, laughing, dancing, and having a great time.

Many thanks to those who helped out in making this weekend happen - Tom Fillippo, Esther Forrest, Bob Hutchison, Pat Stover (Stephenson), Wain Schroeder, Kaye Tyson (Leonard), Jeff Wahl, and especially Rick (Rich, Sandy, Frenchy) Sandora who was the driving force and chief coordinator behind everything! And, a special thanks to Tom and Joanne Fillippo for graciously opening up their home on a very rainy Friday evening to all of us who could be there (see below).

At the reunion, Rick Sandora took formal "couples" pictures and a group picture which which can be seen here.. Candid pictures were taken throughout both evenings and are posted on this website (see below). As more pictures become "web-available", they will be posted here.

Believe it or not, there is already talk of getting together again in 5 years to celebrate our 45th year. Stay tuned to www.gvhs65.org for details of our next reunion party. Also see the list below for pictures of our 40th reunion weekend and a list of our fellow graduates.
