School #49 Mini-Reunion
In September, MedChi was pleased to host a group of School #49 alumni who gathered to celebrate the dedication of a bronze plaque which now graces the front of the building.
The event was spearheaded by Celeste Pushkin, mother of MedChi’s immediate past president, Dr. Gary Pushkin. She and a group of fellow “49ers” donated funds to install a bronze plaque on the façade of the building, acknowledging its place as an accelerated school for gifted children from across Baltimore. Click here for a piece in the Baltimore Jewish Times about the dedication.
When the renovations to the building were completed in the mid-1980's, a reunion was held across the street at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall (Mr. Meyerhoff had attended School #49) and a book filled with decades of memories was published. You can download it here.

I certainly wish I had been aware of the mini-reunion. I often wonder how my classmates from the Class of 1957 have fared.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you didn't know about the reunion... We worked with some of the alums to give us names, and only had what they gave us. If you email your info to events at medchi dot org, I will add you to our list.
