[NEohioPAL] Congratulate Fred!!!

[Stacilynv at aol.com]

On behalf of the Orange High School Alumni Association I wanted to make you  
all aware that our own Fred Sternfeld ('74) was inducted Friday night (October 
 3rd) into the Orange High School Alumni Hall of Fame.  I am sure all  of you 
are aware of Fred's many accolades, but I thought I would congratulate  him 
officially via the website that he created for all of  us!!!   This is truly a 
distinct honor as Fred is one of only a  few selected for the Alumni Hall of 
Fame...and we should all let him know how  proud we are of him!!!  

Fred was introduced at the All-Class Reunion at Orange High  School Friday 
evening as the Association marked its 20th Anniversary (and  the school's 80th 
graduation class!).  He was presented with his award at  half-time of the 
Orange (v. Beachwood) Homecoming Football Game.  Since  Fred is not one to toot his 
own horn, I have reprinted below his  biography (which was printed in the 
Reunion program) for those of you  not as familiar with ALL of his talents!!!
 
Congratulations, Fred!  We are proud of you!!!
