Friends,
This site was created in 2004 to commemorate the 40th year since our adventure in Latin America.
We had a wonderful 25th reunion in person; at 40, we went online instead.
This 2019 update removes outdated personal information and adds accessible, responsive design.
From 1/31 to 6/4, our activity for that day will be shown at the top of the schedule page.
After 55 years, this site has also become a memorial and a tribute
to Maestro Goodman and the rest of the tour staff—and many of our colleagues—who are no
longer with us. They will remain in our hearts, always.
2024 update: Many thanks to Bill Skidmore and
Dorothy Martirano for organizing our 60-year reunion! Picture below.
