Cranford (NJ) HS Class of '67

Sadly acknowledging the passing of Sherman "Sarge" Kisner
Sherman “Sarge” Clark Kisner, 73, passed away on March 28, 2023 in Neptune, NJ. Sherman was raised in Cranford, NJ, and lived for periods in Indiana and Wyoming, before settling in Monmouth County, NJ. He worked in construction for most of his life as a private contractor, union carpenter and later as a construction official. Sarge will be remembered for his unique and intense sense of humor, his love for music, theater, movies and the Honeymooners. Sherman is survived by wife Sarah A. Kisner, sons Charles H.S. Kisner and Sherman J. Kisner (wife Eri), grandson Jack Hiromu Kisner, sister Bette E. Kisner, and loving cousin Judith Clark. Arrangements are private and the family will be holding a life celebration this coming fall.

"IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO BUILD A CRANSTOCK!"

We've learned that much in the past 18 years! Our Goal is to come out of this meeting with committee heads, and most especially an established (paid if necessary) CLEAN UP CREW FOR SEPT. 18TH!

It's worth noting that all the same people who've literally been doing the heavy lifting for 2 decades are now in our 60s and we don't have the stamina we once had! Therefore, WE NEED NEW BLOOD! If your kids or nephews & nieces are willing and available, please bring them to the meeting! We want the Cranstock Tradition to continue on to the next generation, so please help us in our recruitment effort!

Thanks and Enjoy Your Summer! Be Well and Be Safe!!!

Cheers.

On Monday, June 7, 2021, Chuck Archdeacon and Kevin Chieff presented your class Scholarship to Savannah Riera at the Senior Awards Ceremony, held outside at Memorial Field this year. The Scholarship Committee, composed of Lloyd Leschuk, Barbara May, Kevin Chieff, and Chuck Archdeacon, selected Savannah from a field of 16 applicants. Savannah will be attending the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT, and, upon graduation, plans on attending the Coast Guard's flight school, become a helicopter pilot, and serve as a pilot and trauma medic in search and rescue missions. Savannah's mom and dad are CHS graduates, which we take into consideration during our evaluation process. The scholarship, in the amount of $1,000.00, came from generous donations from fellow classmates, including Jim Elliot, Kathleen Hume, Theo Robinson, & Kevin Chieff. Thank you all. It brought back nice memories to be back at Memorial field. It was also very special to see the awarding of scholarships in the names of our teachers including Oliver West and James Lenney.
