WAS IT ONLY YESTERDAY?
Was it only yesterday we said "hi" in the hallway or shared the same class?
Was it only yesterday we "hung out" at the Shore Mall together?
Was it only yesterday we went to the Atlantic Drive-In with our friends to watch a movie?
Was it only yesterday we talked on the phone or crammed for a test?
Was it only yesterday we held our diplomas and said our good byes?
Was it only yesterday we heard of one of our classmates passing?
And thought..."it seems like only yesterday"
Don't let time pass you by. Get involved and support our website and help capture memories for us all to enjoy before they are lost forever...

VINELAND - It's always a treat to find an unexpectedly good, but little-known place to eat tucked away where you don't expect one to be. Michael's Mediterranean Cuisine is a little tricky to find at first because it's not on a main thoroughfare; however, once you discover it, you won't have any problems going back again and again.
The ambience is far from trendy. A dining room, big enough to hold a dozen or so green-clothed tables, has minimal decor. But it's not what adorns the walls that is attractive here. It's the food that comes to the table, and the people who prepare and serve it.
The menu is comprised primarily of Italian cuisine with a smattering of French, Greek and Portuguese specialties. Although you'll find plenty of chicken, veal, beef and pasta items, its focus seems to be on seafood.
As I walked by its small kitchen, I noticed the chef singlehandedly cooking everything to order with one dishwasher by his side. After tasting each course, it was obvious that all of it was executed with a lot of care.
After greeting us and reciting the specials, our server delivered a basket of lovely, warm panella bread and a saucer of olive oil and balsamic vinegar sprinkled with salt and pepper.
High-quality bread is more often than not a precursor to a noteworthy meal, and my hope that this theory would hold true came to light, especially with our first appetizer: olive tapenade bruschetta ($4.95), a hearty mixture of assorted minced olives with olive oil, garlic and flecks of red pepper served on four pieces of grilled Italian bread. It was handmade, perfectly salted, juicy and absolutely scrumptious.
An antipasto platter ($7.95), priced for one but big enough for two, came with plump slices of sweet grilled eggplant, garlic-infused roasted red and orange peppers, marinated artichokes, salami, capicola and shavings of parmigiana reggiano. Unfortunately, the thin slivers of cheese became lost in the flavors of the vegetables, so perhaps larger chunks would add the oomph I felt was lacking from this otherwise-nice antipasto. In this case, I wouldn't mind paying extra for more.
The house salad with white balsamic vinaigrette was fresh and tasty, but it was the white-bean-and-sausage soup that sent my dining partner into a tizzy. A thick broth packed with perfectly cooked navy beans, tomatoes, aromatic vegetables and bits of Italian sausage was a labor of love. We both agreed it was on par with the best, including our own family recipes.
I couldn't remember the last time I had ordered pasta as an entree, so I decided to forgo a major protein for a bowl of traditional linguini carbonara ($12.95), which was clearly the right choice. Al dente pasta was simply tossed with peas, chopped pancetta (cured Italian bacon) and a light-as-air cream sauce with hints of garlic. I agreed to share it only because I wanted to have some of my guest's meal as well.
Portuguese Monkfish Casserole ($13.95) came bubbling to the table with roughly cut hunks of tender fish, roasted peppers, green and ripe black olives, and capers in a pungent pomodoro sauce dense with spices. I had no complaints, but I found this dish less memorable than the pasta.
A side of string beans amandine also caught us by surprise. A fistful of bright green beans had a proper amount of snap and tasted wonderful with the crunchy nuts and garlicky butter (there was no shortage of garlic in nearly everything we ate).
Desserts are outsourced except for the warm, homemade bread pudding ($4.95) made with dried-fruit filled pannetone, which gave it a distinguished flavor, especially paired with caramel-sauce topping.
Though it didn't wow us, a lemon bundt cake ($3.95) was better than we thought it would be. Finely grated lemon peel garnished a swirl of whipped cream that accompanied the cake. I appreciated that someone took the time to jazz it up!
Our server was as delightful as they come. She delivered informal-but-excellent service. Working alone in a half-filled dining room, she remained at ease as she took care of all of us as though each person was the most important customer there.
Michael's is a BYO, so don't forget to take your own wine. Judging by the number of bottles on the tables, everyone else does. We didn't, but there's always next time.

Your participation is requested!
We would like to hear from you. Post your messages here.
After graduation I attended ACC for about a year, then shortly there after I got married to an officer in the US Army. His first assignment was in Stuttgart Germany where we lived for 3 years. Then on to Holland (The Netherlands) for another 3 years, from there we packed up and moved to Indiana for 6 months while my husband attended school. Then we moved to Richmond, Virginia...this is where my daughter Jennifer was born, we lived there for 4 years and then onto Seattle, Washington for a 2 1/2 year stint. From Seattle we drove to our next assignment in Fairbanks Alaska. We drove as far as you can drive through Canada and then onto a ferry for a couple of days until we reached Alaska. We lived in Fairbanks for 3 years before moving to Columbia, Maryland where I currently live.
So that brings us to the present...
I work for JHU Applied Physics laboratory as an Office Administrator. I’ve been single for the past 10 years and I love it!
I have 2 children, Joseph & Jennifer and 3 beautiful grandchildren; JoJo, Jahdai and Jasmine. My son Joseph lives in NY, and my daughter Jennifer is a junior at Howard University in DC. Jennifer will be leaving on May 14th to go to Ecuador and then onto Costa Rica where she is doing a study abroad internship for the summer.
I enjoy working out...I currently take a kick boxing class 3 times a week. I love dancing and enjoy any activity that is sports related.
The following classmates are also listed as missing, but were not pictured in the yearbook.
Any information - a parent's name(s),their old addresses,a spouse or ex-spouses name, brother or sister still around the area, children, aunt's, uncle's, etc - would be greatly appreciated. We have pretty much exhausted all available avenues searching for these classmates!!
