Dear CCS Alumni and Friends, again I want to thank everyone who participated in the Congratulatory Letter.  The school printed it out and gave it to the team and coaches during the Championship Parade Day.  I have been told that it was graciously received.


Thank you to
Susan LaFlamme Blocker, Class of 1972 for submitting the 1st 2 pictures for the Seasons: Winter 2016 section on the website www.ccsindians.com

 ATTENTION : The Annual Alumni Basketball Tournament will be this Friday, December 23. Players should report to the CCS gym at 5:30 P.M.

 

Oliver Perry, Class of 1959
Here is the link to  the  “Review” that I think most will appreciate. Cambridge Championship Parade Day Review h ttps://vimeo.com/195906920

 In 10 minutes the video covers the parade and ceremonies at the Rice Mansion. Although it would be better if I could have reduced it down to 5 minutes. (And maybe later if I get time I will do that.)  As all of you understand.. it takes longer and longer to produce shorter and shorter.

 As it stands I think I got the essence of the day without eliminating too many faces in the crowd. I didn’t include the player roll call. I did provide excerpts of all speeches. The firemen will hate me for not including all the trucks.

 There are many options from video segments to music.. Hopefully most will like what I chose. My purpose is to make what I think MOST would enjoy.. favoring older alumni who tend to be more sentimental. They like to see certain buildings and faces. 

 If someone would make sure that the mayor gets the link… the superintendent of schools.. the bus coordinator and others of importance who were involved… I would appreciate it.

 Let me know if there are any glitches or needs for minor changes. My wife Dottie checked for spelling…. didn’t especially like the color of the screen at the end… till I explained ORANGE is our color. Oh that was why Ken was wearing that orange sweatshirt !   makes sense…. all the guys are deer hunters.

From Pauline…… I have been asked several times why I don’t include emails to me that show appreciation for this newsletter and website. I do not do this for praise but because I really like doing what I can to keep the CCS Alumni Family together.  I want you to know that I am so grateful for these emails and thought I would include some in this newsletter. 

 Wendy Arnold Hayes, Class of 1987
Pauline, Thank you for these notices. Many I don't know but always pray for them and their families.  Mickey was my classmate and I remember her well. I'm so saddened by this. I think if it weren't for you and staying connected with the Cambridge community I would never know about her passing. Just my thoughts.

So grateful,


Ed Meagher , Class of '64

Congratulations to you for having the idea, and coordinating the album of messages to the team and coaches.  I'm sure the sentiments expressed by the alumni will be appreciated and remembered. 

 

Dave Bellemare  Class of 1975
It was very, very nice of you to spearhead the letter writing. I am sure it took you a long time to compile all the info. Thanks for all you do. Unfortunately I cannot live in Cambridge, but you keep me attached!

Best regards & God's blessings,

 

To Mary Lee Kent, Class of 1958, I really appreciate the kind words about me you tried to put in the Congratulatory Letter to the Champions. I am glad you understood why I edited them out.
