What's New?: Was supposed to graduate in '64 at Awalt but dad was
transfered to Westfield, NJ in winter of '63.
Graduated from there but my heart was at Awalt.

Like everyone I went to college, a JC in San Bernadino
in 64-65 then transfered to Cal Poly at Pomona and
graduated with a BS in Horticulture in '68.
My wife also graduated from Cal Poly in 69 and we were
married in June.

We were in the SF bay area for about 7 years with her
as a Lab Technologist at Kaiser-Permanente hospital in
San Jose and I changed occupations 3 times. I went
from commercial rose grower foreman to an apartment
repair person to a general contractor.

In '76 we moved to Lake Tahoe where I built houses and
my wife ran a laboratory there. We lived there for 18
years, in various houses, and in '93 we moved to Reno,
where we are presently.

We have 2 daughters, Andrea(30) an RN in town, and
Amie(27) a paralegal here in town. Neather are married,
so no grand kids or son-in-laws

Went to a terrific Waterpolo reunion for the '63/'64
champions and had a terrific time and enjoyed seeing
all the maturing classmates. Thanks to Annette Neilsen
for coordinating the reunion. Hope more to occur.

What's New?: I was in the class of '64 but moved to Ladera at the
end of my junior year so I didn't graduate with "my"
class, I spent my senior year at Woodside High School.
I went to College of San Mateo and then transferred to
Biola College in southern California where I got a BA
in Latin American Studies. I got a high lottery number
and so didn't go to Viet Nam like many of my friends.
I met
my wife in Washington State while studying linguistics
at a summer course at the University of Washington, we
were married in 1972 and four "kids" (no grandchildren
yet!) and a hundred stories later we're here on the
third coast, Austin, Texas. I worked for the Texas
Historical Commission for twelve years and my wife and
I both deal part time in antiques and she's an
interior designer as well. I now sell antique books and
paper on eBay and work part-time at Starbucks. Sorry I
missed my senior year at Awalt, it's nice to catch up
with some of you that I remember.

Lincoln, California two years ago. Our new home is in
a Del Webb community, "Live On!" is their motto and it
is so true! Lincoln is approx. 30 minutes east of
Sacramento and about 10 minutes from Roseville, CA. I
have two wonderful step-children, Carolyn and Mike.

Both my husband and I are 5-time cancer survivors!
Praise the Lord! That's the best news of all.

I am now a dancer in my old age (not saying a "good"
dancer but a dancer all the same). I take tap and
jazz dancing lessons and appear in shows now and then -
lots of fun. We meet wonderful people up here - very

What's New?: Graduated! College too. I think I don't want to list
my accomplishments; not out to impress anyone!! I am
who I am and that is as good as it gets! Writer,
Published, The Few, The Proud, the Native Californian!
Orgnized the Senior Prank (that was as good as it gets
too!!!!) Made forever friends since age 8, and in HS,
that's as good as it gets too! Two kids, Jodi RN,
Mark, Hotshot Crew Chief, USFS, I remember Alan
Ratzburg, the crack up of Gary Sheerer too smart to do
homework, the class clown and as smart as they get. I
remember, the politics by the faculty of two schools
joing together and MVHS class of 1962 "borrowing our
school" so we could watch the fights at brunch in the
commons. I remember the day Kennedy died, right before
lunch, in Spanish Class, I remember them excusing the
school and those of us without cars, walking that long
way home, when Permanente Big Wheelers roared down
Grant Road, in shock. I remember this generation that
changed a nation, mostly for the better and those who
sold out. I remmeber Viet Nam, losing my best friend,
and have his DFC, SS, BSM, AM and the ever lovin'
Purple Heart. I remember a Nation of change, big
change and here we are today. Seems like a rerun. I
remember passionatly getting the votes for my
neighbor, Nancy Tasista, and friend. I remember the US
OLYMPIC TEAM all out of our swimming pool, and I
remember Steve Weiss, the nicest guy in the world, the
laugher that came from Gary Greeney, the sadness that
came about Lorraine Lawton and Jeanne Demassa. I
remember graduation and us running out to change a
world. We did. We are those people that watched or
participated from the corner of Haight and Ashbury as
a world of peaceful kids, stabbed the establishment
and never looked back. It was the best time, it was
the worst time but it was in the end OUR TIME.

Hope all of you are good, and that we all now truly
GET IT. Hi Alan, Janet, Kristen, Nancy, Gail, Sue, and
the ever funny Gary Sheerer,Janet, Tom, Gary Greeney,
and Nancy
and Gail Tasista. And Hey Jim, how's it going?!

Oh yeah, Alan Ratzburg and I are married after dating
42 years ago!!!!!!

What's New?: As of Feb, 2004, I am in Afghanistan, just North of
Kabul at Camp Phoenix.

I am here on a 1 year contract providing telecom to
the US Army. It seems that I just can't seem to keep
from going to ever increasingly wierd places.
Afghanistan was on my growing list of places that I
was never going to, topped only by Nigeria and Iraq..
(I did go to Nigeria but only to the airport)..
Anyhow its great here if you like sand and
rocks...however the people are nice and the food is
ok!!.

Melinda and I moved from Northern Virginia to
Southern Indiana (Bloomington) in the fall of 2002,
My plan was to work from home and go to school. (I
attended 1 semester at IU hoping for a BA and
certificate in African Civilations). However the call
of the road hit me again (and lack of a Job!!!) and
here I am in Kabul..!

I hooked up with Barb Paulsen (McGoldrick) and Larry
Phillips (both 64) last year in Mt. View, and we had
a very nice reunion. I think that I am the only one
that has not aged well, they both look great. I am in
continious contact with Larry and I want to get back
in touch with Barb, but have lost her email address
if anyone can help me..

Also I finally found Bob Benke(65) with the help of
Al Gillespie, after a couple of years searching. We
are planning to meet in Reno for "Hot August Nights"
hopefully this year.

Melinda is working at Cook Medical in Bloomington and
both of my daughters are pursuing careers in
Archaelogy and Anthropology..

Drop me a line if you get a chance, and let me know
if you need any sand and rocks, or bugs..

What's New?: Greetings Dear Classmates! My VERY BEST wishes to
everyone... WOW, it is amazing how fast the time has
passed!

Well, I have two fantastic sons! My oldest is a sr.
mechanical design engineer who put himself through
school, working F/T. He is married and has a lovely
home nearby. My younger son is also working F/T and
putting himself through school. He managed his AA with
a 3.85 GPA. He is planning on getting married next
year. I truly enjoy sharing in their lives.

I've been a widow for 3 1/2 yrs., having lost my
husband to cancer. He was a true love and
inspiration, and made me promise to get on with my
life. I've kept that promise. For the past 20 yrs. I
worked at a Fujitsu company and was a Facilities
Manager but was laid-off due to new acquisition/
downsizing. I traveled a bit, but have remained a
local in the Santa Clara area for 44 yrs. Now I'm in a
different role--Administrator for the Director of
Employment Law, Litigation & Environmental Law at
Spansion (a Fujitsu/AMD company).

My joys of volunteering for Scouts, local parish, and
22 active years as an Instructor/EMT/Disaster
volunteer at Red Cross has been truly rewarding. I'm
starting to slow it down now and and enjoy a more
leisurely pace.

My best wishes and blessings to everyone for a
wonderful journey ahead.

graduation 41 years ago. My family moved to
Connecticut after graduation so I have not been back
to the Awalt campus since I graduated, and imagine it
has changed a lot. In the 60's there were actually
some orange groves bordering the back end of the
school. I'm sure there are no groves left. I am now
retired from a carreer in broadcasting, but still own

What's New?: I graduated from San Jose State with a degree in French
and later went back for an elementary teaching
credential. After 25 years of marriage, I am now on my
own. I have three children - Kate who lives in San
Diego and is a painter, clothes designer and has a
rock band, Amy who will graduate next month with a
M.F.A. from the California College of Arts in SF(she's
a photographer) and Jake, who lives here in Portland,
works with computers, has an electronic band and has
given me five beautiful grandchildren. I moved to
Portland 5 years ago and live near Reed College.

I am a hospital clown, volunteering at Emanuel
Children's Hospital for over 4 years now. I also do
occasional clown performance pieces.....European style
(meaning I do not wear a wig or big shoes and have
minimal makeup!). I still study with my teacher at The
Clown School of San Francisco. And I have just
applied to graduate school for a master's in drama
therapy at California Institute of Integral Studies in
SF and am still waiting to hear from them.

I am also on the Board of Directors for Tears of Joy, a
puppet theater company and am involved with one of
their programs which brings after-school art classes to
some of the more underprivileged schools in Portland.

I do the usual in Portland....hike, camp, garden, bike,
have sleepovers with my grandkids, and am in a
writing group. I am in the middle of a very rigorous
basic climbing class with the Mazamas (a
mountaineering club that's been around for ages) and
am finding myself in all sorts of unusual places....
like hanging off rocks with carabiners dangling from
my harness, practicing snow climbing on Mt. Hood,
with a possible climb of the mountain planned two
weeks from now. And I am scared of heights!
Honestly, I don't know what I am doing in this class,
and it is very scary, but it is also a lot of fun!

I'd like to hear from anybody....I'm alway curious to
hear about other people's lives. Oh - does anyone know
what happened to Mrs. Knutson? She was the best
teacher I ever had and would like to tell her that.

What's New?: Can you believe we're all out of H.S. over 40 years? It seems
to have gone by very quickly. I'm married to Howard over 25
years, and we are both retired now. We spend time in Palo Alto
and Capitola, CA and keep busy with our kids, Anna (24) and Dan
(21) who live nearby.
It would be great to hear from any of you.
