Joy, Memories At Greenport High School's All-Class Reunion: Photos

GREENPORT, NY — Despite a heavy afternoon rain that sent the crowd gathered running for cover, nothing could stop P0rter pride from shining strong at the 2022 Greenport High School All-Class Reunion.

The all-day event, held at the 5th Street Park Saturday, brought together classmates from all decades for a day of memories, laughter and tears of joy.

"I graduated with her; she was in my class!" The words echoed, time and time again, as lifetime friends from near and far embraced after years and spent time remembering days that shaped all 0f their lives.

According to organizer TK Krumenacker, who was unable to attend and said he'd missed seeing everyone, the free reunion was the fifth, "bringing Greenport School alumni together for one day filled with food, fun, music, fellowship, and of course, remembering our time together at GHS."

Classmates, he said, shared stories of past teachers/faculty, classmates, sports, proms, beach parties, Gull Pond, 67 Steps, music, and concerts.

"This Porter event is truly our own in the Village of Greenport," he said. "We lived those times together; we spent four years cherishing it."

The event's planning committee accepted monetary donations, as well as raffle gift items from the public and local businesses; signs were dedicated throughout the park in memory of classmates, now gone but never forgotten.

The GHS All Class Corporation is 501c3 charitable organization.

The GHS All Class Corporation Board is comprised of Annemarie Heaney-Chouinard, Rose Heaney-Baker, Mary Shelby, Robert Walden, and Krumenacker, Krumenacker said.

"We work year-round organizing, planning, and deciding what needs to be done. It truly is a gift of love and dedication to our cause, which is to provide our GHS alumni/faculty with an event that is celebrating our time through the years at Greenport School," Krumenacker said. "The hard work and dedication of the various committees and volunteers is another intricate mechanism of the success — and finally, the public and businesses that support and attend the GHS All Class Reunion are appreciated by all."
