play everybody I am Bob platzer originally from Pennsauken New Jersey and I'm Saint Cecilia's class of 1965 show us a little bit about your experience at Saint Cecilia whatever some of your Fondest Memories my Fondest Memories of Saint Cecilia's but I think from my early years as Saint Cecilia's is all my memories cuz I don't remember much before I go yes. I remember the nuns Monsignor Cavanaugh been done for my friends whom any of the friends I made in a change of Celia's or still my friends to die on a regular basis we don't see one and much but I think it was just the one school the old school back then I just remember all the hustle and bustle of so many people we had a lot of fun I remember few of my teacher's really well miss Mangano and other than there's a few others let me think of them as I go but it was just a real from reality and we had a different lunch room back then but I always remember the lunch room and my friends parents who worked in mrs. DiLaurentis is Cheryl Lockett try to be on good behavior to lose their those woman knew our parents so you know back then you know they would tell us tell us if we were acting out of hand so I think everything about at the playground in the morning pitching cards against the law and it one time we had I guess for five classes in the school at the same time so that was a real experience and you know there's a lot of families like that in Pennsauken have multiple children on school the same time the camaraderie is what I really remember and the nuns in the priest and woke going over to the church if it was the wonderful life that I wouldn't trade it in for anything is there anything in particular that you feel you I'm experienced at Saint Cecilia's that kind of helped lead you to where you are today you know what I can try to remember much before Saint Cecilia's so I think every thing that I am today was formed to Saint Cecilia's you hear those formidable years and that's right I thought you know we really learned that you know my mom at home with seven kids you know it was a busy household but and you know we had rules but when we came to school we had rules we had friendships we had loyalties it was I think everything that still persisted me to let you know it Slips Away a little bit as you get older but when you really start driving back at you know who you want to be want you are you come back to this fundamental then it's where I live in my face and I still have faith to die and then I guess if you're going to say anything that's what's for me through all my years my face and you know it you drift a little sideways as you're growing up and doing things but for May that's how I live my life to die you know I always know that you know what I learned to Celia's was was all the good things I've I've had in my life I learned to see what is the meanest where I grew up as a young person and I'm so thankful for it and I drive by that school nowadays I know my mother was very involved as I got older and she stayed involved in almost over that then. totally has a soft place in my heart and I see so many people around that we're years ahead of me or years behind me and there's a camaraderie that still exists today why do you feel it's so important really stay connected with Saint Cecilia's and Catholic partnership schools why is it so important for you to give back to your alma mater I think why do I like go back to my alma mater for a lot of years you know it was a little bit out of sight out of mind and then it was brought to my attention that the school's needed financial help and the help that every is there's a lot of other ways to help the school that other people do mine happens to be on Financial in because I'm not there all the time but it just I never wanted to say Saint Cecilia's Galloway you know and then I looked at all the other Catholic schools and I want on it and I was just blown away but how well-behaved all the kids I thought I was going to wait and see if craziness and it was like when we went there everybody was for your lady and it was clean and I could see more than show them when we were young the security the kids feel that's cool you know my association with Pepe in a few other people to do it you know we really I really sorry to have some conversations and realize how important this is and I want to be a part of it you know I never want to see them go and the six best rate that the CPS is having is beyond words I'm blown away every time I hear that statistic of his success and you know I wish I could do more I'll do all I can but you know I really am in love with the Catholic partnership school I know what it did for me and I hope it does
