Attention all SHPies

I am writing from the Science Honors Program at Columbia University. The
Science Honors Program is an extracurricular Saturday morning program
for high school students who have demonstrated exceptional talent in
the fields of math and science. The program has been in existence since
1958, and enrolls high school students residing in the tri-state area.
We are currently attempting to contact alumni from our program in order
to learn about what they have accomplished in their current fields. Not
surprisingly, a large number of our students attend or have attended
the Great Neck public Schools. We would appreciate any assistance you can
offer in providing current addresses/contact information for our list
of alumni. We look forward to your reply. Thank you for your help,

I am looking for a Barbara Raskins. Through a search, I noticed a Barbara
Raskins Kohan went to school at Great Neck. I also noticed she passed
away in 2006. It is important for me to find out if this is the Barbara
Raskins I have been searching for because I was adopted as an infant and
would at least like to have some medical history. If anyone could give
me information on Barbara I would appreciate it. Even if I could only
see a picture or get a description of what she looked like, this may be
beneficial to find out if this is the woman I have been searching for.
Thank you so much. Deborah Rogers cdrogers@pwrtc.com

My name is Meredith Crouch formerly Berg and I graduated from Great Neck North in 1991.
My Yearbook unfortunately met an untimely demise while being shipped to me. I was wondering if you knew if the school kept any old copies that they would be willing to sell or if the publisher may still have additional copies or any other resources that may aid me in my search. I have already checked our Oldschoolyearbooks.com and they just sold the only 1991 copy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

interested in organizing a 45th reunion for late 2004 please contact
me and I would be happy to share in the effort to make it happen.
I have not made previous reunions as I have traveled extensivly and was
unaware of their existance. I have a business in Houston now so I'm
stationary and available to help.
Would love to visit with old friends so if anyone is interested please
