1997 Alumni Holiday Party



On Friday December 19, 1997, the first Peary Alumni Holiday Party was held at Bauer Drive Community Recreation Center in Rockville. Six nine-pound honeybaked hams, fourteen turkey breasts, about 35 side dishes plus tons of snacks and desserts had everyone eating all evening! Links to who was there and many photos at the end of the page. Many thanks to Maureen Difulgo Bladen (1976) and her planning and coordination of this event to make it a successful evening!


All had a great time! Farthest traveled to attend: James Brown (1963) from Atlanta, Paula Alden Frey (1975) from Boonsboro, PA, and Tim Gedney (1975) from Virginia Beach!

What a nice surprise to have some of our former teachers there too: Donna Dawson Edwards, Eileen Manspeaker Steinkraus, Kathaleen Moyer Scott, Mary Thomson, Vickie Scheideman, Bob Clarke, Grace Tigani, and Dee Rosenberg
