50 Year Reunion Announcement!

BHBL Class of 1977 50th Reunion

Wednesday,  September  1,  2027

Our 50th Reunion will be held sometime in 2027 (probably late summer-early fall). Details to be determined. We will begin organizing in Fall 2026. Let us know if you are able to help.


NOTE: This website is paid up past our 50th reunion, so no further donations are needed. A big thank you to the alumni whose donations got us to that goal!

BHBL Class of 1977 Reunion Summaries

BHBL Class of 1977 45th Reunion Summary

Our 45th Reunion was held on September 10, 2022 from 3pm to 10pm at the Lakeside Farms Pavilion in Ballston Lake.

We had 67 attendees, with 53 of those being members of the Class of 1977. Of those alumni, 14 had not attended the 40th reunion (with 91 alumni), so the last two reunions had a total of 105 classmates attending, which is 28% of our living alumni!

We used the same format for 45th as we did for the 40th reunion and it worked out just as well. The weather was great and people could wander inside or out at will. The catering by Perraca's was superb. The Pavilion was nicely decorated, and the wine and beer choices were well appreciated. We had a nice 70's soundtrack to set the mood and people chatted away for the whole seven hour event. It is amazing how fast that time went!

BHBL Class of 1977 40th Reunion Summary

Our 40th Reunion was held on August 12, 2017 from 3pm to 10pm at the Lakeside Farms Pavilion in Ballston Lake.

We had 125 attendees, with 91 of those being members of the Class of 1977. That is very close to 25% of our living alumni! Most alumni stayed for the entire seven hour event and found they still didn’t get to talk with everyone they wanted to see that day.

Reunion Printouts and Slideshow:

The following link displays the handouts that were printed for the 40th and/or 45th Reunion, as well as the slideshow that ran during those events. Note: the slideshow pdf file is large (51 MB) and has about 120 images submitted by various alumni.

Photos from the 40th and 45th Reunions

Pictures from the 40th and 45th Reunion parties have been uploaded by alumni to two different BHBL Class of 1977 Facebook sites:
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake High School Class of 1977.
BH-BL High School Reunion- Forty Minus One.



All of the Class of 1977 Senior Yearbook Pictures have been uploaded to this website, so this site can act something like an on-line Yearbook for our class. We have also uploaded "Current Photos" for almost all of the alumni who attended the 40th and 45th reunions. There are Current Photos for other alumni, as well (about 125 "Current Photos", in total). If you would like a Current Photo displayed in your listing, please send me a picture - a website administrator needs to upload all images.

To see the Yearbook and Current Photos, click on the "Everyone" link in the "Class Directory" box to the right. After clicking on a classmate’s name, any biographical information provided by that alumnus will be displayed. For our deceased alumni, their obituary will be displayed in the “bio” section (if a copy could be found).
Our attempts to contact as many alumni as possible were very successful with about 90% of our alumni being made aware of the 40th reunion. If you were one of the alumni who weren’t contacted, please register your email address on this website and you will be included in all future emails.

Note: many people counted in the larger "Missing" number displayed on this site had actually been contacted in some way other than via email. This website calculates the "Missing" number from the living alumni who have not provided an email address (the "Missing" alumni do not receive the group emails).

If you have email addresses of "missing" alumni, have found mistakes in this site or have news of deceased alumni, please email the information to: [email protected].

REGISTERING ON THIS WEBSITE:

If you haven’t yet registered on this site, please do so by clicking on the "Click Here To Register" link to the right, then select your name from the list. If your name is not listed or is misspelled (sorry!), you can easily add your name or edit your listing. Please consider adding biographical information to your listing. Registering on this site (and providing an email address) will put you on the email list for reunion announcements.

An administrator may have already added an email address to your listing. If so, that email address will NOT be visible to other users.

Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Bob Spetla


Junior mints are gross. Like my dogs more than most humans. I'm working till I retire. Been divorced 26 years. Definitely more left, than right; which definitely makes me less hateful than most. Like microbrews, in moderation(hop head). Still: very independent, aloof, seeks out fun path, anti-authority/rigid individuals, genuine/real, will tell it like I see it. Don't care about what you, family, or friends "own or have", just don't; as material shit is still shit. I'm in my "happy place" in life. Took a while to get here, but I'm here, and loving it. If you ever want to visit. I'm in Galway NY, you are welcome. You must like dogs and know how to relax. It's all good.
