Sad news in the paper this morning. Our Coach Mina George who Coached football and basketball at Kanty from 1974 - until they closed in 1980 passed away yesterday. In a matter of weeks he was to be inducted in the PA Football Coaches Hall of Fame and the Erie SPorts Hall of Fame. sad ...

take care

mike trott ('77)

the more I look at the image in the post below, the more poignant it becomes.... when we all first entered here, it was into a maze of classrooms, dorms, bedrooms, etc.... now as we look through the entrance in the picture, we can truly appreciate what Kanty was to many of us, a doorway to the outside world and beyond....

Kanty almost totally down

I found Ray Machalinski's WW II bio on the internet. I put it in the Kanty Alumni Letters and News Binder in the hospitality room. I can't attached it because of memory limitation (due to some idiot who posted numerous cheap prescription drug offers on the blog area of this web site. The internet link to his bio is now broken. Email me if you want a copy. It's only 160 KB word file.

Ray is the oldest of Kanty Alumni who responded to the 2009 Kanty reunion Invitation. Here is his response:
HELLO CONRAD, I SURE WISH I COULD JOIN YOU IN PHILLY FOR THE REUNION. IJUST THIS MONTH I GOT OUT OF A WHEELCHAIR AND NOW ABLE TO USE A WALKER. I GUESS THE FEW FROM MY CLASS OF '38 ARE PROBABLY IN MY SAME SHAPE BY THIS DATE. I HAD TWO CRASHES AT SEA IN WW11 IN AIRPLANES LEAVING ME WITH A BAD BACK FULL OF ARTHRITIS.THE DR. LAST MONTH TOLD ME HE COULD REPLACE A
AN ARTHRITIC KNEE OR HIP BUT NOT A BACK. GO SEE A PAIN DR. SPECIALSIST. BUT I CAN'T KICK , I CAN TRY TO GET UP EACH DAY. I WAS ONE OF THE KANYITE IN THAT WAS IN THE NAVY PRIOR TO WW11 AND STAYED FOR 20 YEARS. I WAS AN MIA BY 4 MAY '42 HUT NEVER CAPTURED. I WROTE MY STORY TO A CORRESPONDANT FOR THE ERIE DAILY TIMES. YOU CAN FIND THE STORY ON AN SEARCH ENGINE LIKE THE AOL,GOOGLE OR YAHOO ON THE INTERNET.
BY THE WAY I LIVE IN A SUBURB OF CHICAGO,IL. VERNON HILLS,IL. THE ADDRESS IN ERIE IS MY FIRST COUSIN IN ERIE, PA.. I NEVER KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ANY OF THE CLASS OF '38 SO I'M UNABLE TO HELP FIND ANY OF THEM.
HAVE A GREAT REUNION, AND MAYBE I CAN SEE A FEW PICTURES OF THE GUYS.
