LONG BEACH ALUMNI NEWSLETTER

The Long Beach High School Class of 1966 celebrated their 60th high school reunion on July 18th. A great time was had by all.

David Fried, a Long Beach High School Class of 1978 alumnus, spent many years practicing law in New York City before serving as First Deputy Town Attorney and Planning Board Counsel for the Town of Greenburgh. Since retiring, David has enjoyed a new adventure as a background actor, appearing in productions including Law & Order, Succession, Elsbeth, Happy Gilmore 2, and The Four Seasons.

Mark Getman, Long Beacg High School, Class of 1990, Public Affairs Specialist at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton, was recognized in July 2026 with two official Department of the Army honors. He received the Civilian Service Commendation Medal for his role supporting logistics, security, communications, and administrative coordination during the Sail 250 “Salute to Ships” and International Naval Review 250 events. The award cites his exceptional service, technical expertise, and organizational skill.

Getman also received a Five‑Year Federal Service Certificate acknowledging his continued service to the Government of the United States of America. Both recognitions were issued and presented by Garrison Commander, Colonel Melissa M. Cantwell.

These honors highlight his contributions to Fort Hamilton’s public affairs mission and the Army’s presence in New York City.

We asked our Long Beach High School alumni to share their favorite school memories—and the results are in! Athletics and school events topped the list, with plays and performances, time spent with friends, and favorite teachers and mentors also bringing back plenty of nostalgia. Alumni fondly remembered teachers and coaches such as Tom DeLuca, Harry Witkin, Carmine Lombardo, and Mr. Fineman, while prom, graduation, Homecoming, and senior trips brought back memories of some of the most special days at LBHS. From cheering in the stands and performing on stage to marching with the band and making memories with lifelong friends, it’s clear that the LBHS experience left a lasting impression!

Marines Class Captains consist of alumni who represent the alumni of their graduating year. They are ambassadors that help maintain relationships with other alumni and the Long Beach school community.

Being a class captain is a great way to stay involved with the Long Beach school community and are as active in the role as their schedule will allow.

Class captains help the alumni coordinator:

- Establish and maintain social media presence for their specific grade

- Outreach alumni and encourage membership to the Alumni Association

- Keep classmates up to date on events and news about Long Beach Schools

- Encourage and increase participation in Long Beach events and alumni activities

- Plan alumni events and get togethers
