Here is a message from fellow alumni Howard Blohm that appeared at the Facebook group "Dickinson High School '71 Reunion, Etc".
"Thanks to everyone who's invited classmates who are on Facebook to join this group; please continue to spread the word.
We've gotten several suggestions for venues in norther New Jersey to hold an in-person event when the time is right and we've got all our ducks in a row.
We'll have our next virtual get-together to chat a bit and air out our developing plans a week from tomorrow - Thursday, December 9 starting at 6:30 - on Facebook Room through this page. I think I've gotten the bugs out and can initiate the Room through my phone; evidently my laptop still doesn't want to cooperate. If all goes well we will flip over to Zoom half an hour later - at 7PM - to accommodate classmates who may not be on Facebook.
If you have email addresses or cellphone numbers of classmates you know are NOT on Facebook please send me their contact info in Messenger and I will get them the Zoom invitation. We'll try to keep doing a monthly video call for the next few months until we've got a plan or a consensus or get tired of seeing each other's faces, whichever comes first.
Thanks again to everyone who's spread the word and/or offered suggestions. Looking forward to seeing you next week!"
If you are not on Facebook you can send your email address to me at rdftaxpro@yahoo.com with "DHS 71" in the subject line and I will pass them along to Howard.

GREETINGS FELLOW DHS CLASS OF 71 ALUMNI! Robert D Flach here.
It appears a 50th high school reunion in 2021 was not meant to be.
However, all is not lost. There may still be a reunion in the near future, after COVID is under control.
Howard Blohm has created a public Facebook group titled DICKINSON HIGH SCHOOL ’71 REUNIONS ETC to keep us informed on developments.
As Howard explains -
“Hopefully this group can help spread the word. Interim Zoom calls and ongoing post-reunion discussions and photo sharing welcome. Please feel free to invite other class members.”
Please join this group and spread the word to fellow alumni.
I will post reunion updates and developments, and other items of interest to Class of ‘71 alumni, here for those who are not on Facebook as they become available.
BTW - I have also come across two other Facebook groups you might want to check out. Both of them “private” groups - you must be accepted by the host to participate.
* DICKINSON HIGH SCHOOL WORLD RECORD REUNION 2022 - “All former students who’ve attended Dickinson High School in Jersey City, NJ are encouraged to join.”
* JERSEY CITY HEIGHTS – HUDSON CITY NJ - “Specializing in hometown memories, reconnecting with old friends, and no politics or religion, please! Town history, favorite old haunts, etc.”
If you have any items or events that you think would be of interest to fellow Class of ’71 alumni you can email the information to me at rdftaxpro@gmail.com with “DHS CLASS OF 1971 BLOG” in the subject line.
