Walton HS Class 1961 to hold 50-year reunion
Walton High School Class of 1961 is planning a 50-year reunion and is looking for missing classmates. Nearly 800 students were in the graduating class and because all were girls, the reunion committee has the formidable task of tracking down their peers. However, through letters, emails, phone calls and perseverance, reunion
coordinator Roberta Seidner said many graduates have been located and many still live in the Bronx/Riverdale area. The cohort’s most famous graduate is Penny Marshall, who starred in the television show ‘Laverne and Shirley.” If you were an alumni of the Class of 1961 or would like more information, please contact Roberta Soloff at robertaseidner@aol.com or Ilene Steckler Cohen on 914-245-3129.
