On the left is Mr. Frank Calzi, and on the right, my dad, Mr. John Cronin. Mr. Calzi was a phys ed instructor and my dad a guidance counselor in 1961, when this photo was taken. They painted houses in the summer to supplement their teacher's salaries. Photo courtesy of the 1962 Oakfield Oracle. The Oracle caption reads "Weak board, or...?" I remember one story my dad told about Mr. Calzi. In 1960, they both attended a campaign speech presented by John F. Kennedy at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, and as they approached the entrance, Mr. Calzi was inverted, walking on his hands. Mr. Calzi, if you are out there, I know you don't mind me sharing this with alumni. Mr. Calzi? Oh well, thanks to the Internet, here is a link to the speech Kennedy made in Buffalo that night.
