Classes ending in 1's and 6's will have their reunion in the 2016-2017 school year, beginning the weekend of October 21-23. Please save the date!
CLASS NOTES “I have generally not been good at keeping in touch with classmates. I realized this poignantly at the recent 35th reunion party. It meant a lot to me to see people with whom I shared an indelibly formative experience. It brought back memories long forgotten (some long suppressed). I would welcome hearing from anyone.” From Cathy Altman-Silver: “I have just come to my second ‘end of an era’ at Riverdale. I had been back at RCS for the past 18 years—my two older kids, son Jarrod and daughter Harlie, now 22 and 21, both started RCS in Pre-K, graduating in 2012 and 2013, and my youngest daughter Taryn, now 18, just graduated in June 2015, having started in kindergarten. Although so much has changed (the River Campus now being the Lower School), so much still felt so familiar. There was never a time when I was up at school for an event of any kind that I didn't run into people from ‘our day!’ “I have been in physical therapy private practice, Altman Physical Therapy Center on the Upper East Side, since 1987. Having all three kids in college now will give my husband Russell and me an opportunity to actually finish a conversation, and possibly enjoy some quiet time!
“It was so great seeing so many people at the reunion! Those of you who weren’t there were missed. It’s incredible how after so much time has passed, being together again felt so ‘easy’! I hope to see old friends again sooner than the next 35 years!”
just started high school! Every day something reminds me of our days back on the River Campus— especially my 6th-grade daughter, who is now on her school’s field hockey team. If any of you remember, she is crazy like me and playing goalie!!”

From Tony Barkan: “Eve, I know how you feel about watching your son start high school. My biggest personal news of the summer was my oldest daughter Sammie starting college and my youngest, Julia, starting high school. Sammie and I took a week to drive her halfway across the country to Macalester College in Minneapolis. The highlight was our 24 hours in Chicago: Cubs game, Second City show, and her discovering that NY pizza is soooo much better than deep dish. Earlier in the summer, the girls and I celebrated their moving up in school ranks with 10 days in Rome and Tuscany. It was amazing. “Professionally, I’m halfway through setting up my own asset management company, Allagash Partners, which will focus on real estate debt and equity investing. I should start managing money in the new year. Very exciting. “My best to everyone. I hope we can do another get-together soon.”
