From Peter to Gimley [Note... anyone who has actually ever seen Gimley, our "virtual classmate," please email us. Peter Shalen and Art Heyderman really believe in apparitions... and they need clinical help :-)]
 
>>... We could, actually, password protect the roster.

So I have a couple of questions. Gimley, what is actually involved in
password-protecting a file? Is it something I could do in the
public_html directory on the math department unix machine where my web
site lives, without using a lot of space? Or would we have to do
something fancy and maybe keep the roster somewhere else? And Gary, is
this solution going to be acceptable to the LEC?

       Cheers,
       Peter<<
 
Gary's response to the above:
    Dear Peter,
            It would seem to me, without having polled the LEC, that if the data were password protected that that might satisfy the needs of the class to prevent the data from reaching the public.  We are all aware that this data is readily available to anyone via those commercial spying websites.  We just don't want to deliver the data to the public on a silver platter.
            I would suggest that you find out from Gimley whether we can password protect the file and then email me so I can fwd the information to the LEC.  We can then discuss the pros and cons of having it on the web or having the file emailed to any classmate that requests a periodic update directly from me.
    Thanks for all your efforts!
Love,
Gary

Art Heyderman's email to Gimley Farb :
>>Gimley,

Hey Kid, Art Heyderman here.  You probably remember me as A. Jerome Heyderman
from when I wrote for the Nucleus.  As I recall I did an article on
inter-halogens, and you said that that sort of compound wasn't feasible.  Ah,
...but they've made them.

How have you been doing lately????  Still dabbling in politics??  I remember
the G.O. election, it was you versus Mohamed O'Cohen, the fusion candidate
(no pun intended).  What a race that was, went right down to the wire, but
you beat his tail. 

I heard that Mohamed got picked up by the FBI a couple of weeks ago, ...who
would have thought.  Now they're talking about giving him a secret trial in
front of a military tribunal, and with evidence secret evidence that even his
lawyer won't be allowed to review.  Rumor has it that they said he was a
sleeper agent for the Taliban, and that stole radioactive material from the
old cyclotron and was going to use it for a radiation scattering bomb.  They
say he planned to contaminate Bronx High School of Science because he's still
ticked off that he got beaten out in the Westinhouse Science Fair by one of
their students who did a project on diseases in sheep.

So much for poor old Mohamed.  Sorry for going off on a tangent (or
co-tangent as the case may be).  What's happening with you these days??? 
That girl you were dating, Gloria?  She was a real knock-out.  As I remember
she was taller than you, by a good two inches.  Statuesque redhead with
piercing green eyes.  What a couple the two of you made at the senior Prom.  D
id you ever marry her??  By the way, who's Fred (in your email address), your
son???  Any other kids???  One of the guys said you worked for the City now
but he didn't know what you do.  I know the problem well, I work for the Army
and I'm not really too sure just what it is that I do.

Yeah, I remember the old days in Stuyvesant, the way we used to hang out in
that little luncheonette next door to the school.  I forget it's name but
they had the greatest burgers and fries, ...the grease was so thich you could
cut it with a knife.  Remember those days, you, me , Jimmy Dale, Sasha Zill,
and (if my memory still serves me correctly) Art Hecht.

Remember how we used to screw off in Manny Leibel's english class, you, me
Walt Heitner, and Barry Paul.  There was another bunch of great guys. ...and
Mr Haas's spanish class, he was something else, used to write on the
blackboard forward and backward at the same time.  He also taught us a bit of
Latin, "Honi soui qui mal e pans" ... evil to him who evil thinks, and
"Non-illigitamatum carborundum" ... don't let the bastards grind you down.

Yes, we had some really special teachers together, Dr Pascal, (or as we
called her, Pascalita, the 4'1" spanish teacher); Jake Lieberman (LSMFT --
Lieberman's sheets make flunking tough); Mr Lindner and Mr Penzer for Bio
Class, and my favorite, Mr Calabrese for mechanical drawing (remember the
hangman he would draw if your line hung over too far).  We shared some great
teachers. 

I also remember how you almost started a riot in  the assembly when Dr
Fliedner got up there and didn't know trhe names of anyone on the football
team, and that was right after we took city!  What a dunce he was, ...but you
really shouldn't have started the booing.  That just got out of hand.

Well Gimley, it's been great chatting with you, but please, come on back and
let me hear more from you.  Some of my memories may have been clouded with
time a bit, after all, fourty years is a long time ago.  But, onething still
sticks out crystal clear in my mind, my time in Stuyvesant High School was
both the beas and the most important years in my life.  Thoser great teachers
taught me the most important lesson of all, to care about others and to serve
my community.  And the greatest collection of students assembled in America
gave me the encouragement and competition to make more of my life than I ever
thought possible. 

Our strong band can ne'er be broken...

Your friend and classmate,
Art Heyderman<<
