HAPPY BIRTHDAY to those celebrating September Birthdays!!

THOUGHTS ON TURNING 80
"This is the point in the journey where a decent person turns inward. Old age is the pause that God gives us to reflect on what we've done and what we've left undone. And above all, to ponder where we might be going next. It's a time to think about the fate of one's soul, asking the pressing questions: 'What's the point of all of this? Is all we have merely a yawning void or is there more?'" ~ author unknown

My name is Harvey Vostrejs. I am currently a senior at Paly, and am working on a book about Paly students who gave their lives during war, specifically WW2, Korea and Vietnam. I would love to hear some personal stories from alumni who experienced these times. Click on the link below to give it a look!
