Hello All.
Jim Amato here, Pat's brother, class of '69.
My sister passed away today, having fought a battle
with liver cancer for the past 6/7 years. She whipped
it the first time, using alternative methods at
first, then having 83% of her liver removed (only
organ that regenerates, who knew?), to become at the
time cancer free. As I'm sure most of you know, once
it has you it doesn't let go easily, and it came
raging back about 6 months ago. She fought it hard
again, but this time it was not to be denied, and she
died peacefully with family around.
I wanted to let you all know the times she had with
the class doing the reunion dinners and reunions were
some of the best times of her life, and she truly
appreciated your friendship. I know she would want me
to let all of you know this news, and the fact that
she had a very strong faith that enabled her to cope
with this battle. I'm sorry to share this news, but
wanted you all to know. Please send up a good thought
to her, and have a cheerful moment on the day you
read this, Pat would like that.
Jim Amato
Hi, Everyone out there in Cyber-post-Awalt-Land! Once
again inspired by Dewey's great writing, I am tearing
a page from his book, and deleting the Olde and
ringing in the new! (Although I'm sure many of you
suffering from Scrolling finger..[like tennis elbow,
only lower]due to my former Bio, wish that I would
tear a page from Dan VanSciver's book instead...)
Trying to examine WHY I'm having such a grand time
with all my newly discovered Awalt acquaintances...
(after only 3 reunion pre-parties and a few e-mails,
I
feel closer now than I was during my 2yrs at Awalt)...
I think I can conclude that out of an abundant
appreciation of every one of life's blessings, the
greatest Is love; friendships, relationships,
connections between people; what could be more joyous
or fulfilling in life? You won't want to miss out on
these re-connections!! They are so fun!!Dewey
Williams
even came all the way from Washington to our last El
Toritos pre-party, and considered it well worth it!
(And I can Report that his humorously self-disparaging
though Highly Entertaining Bio of late, was a
prevarication of the first order. When I called him
out on his reference to the Hair Club for Men, he had
to cram his chin into his sternum and I had to stand
on my chair to see any skin amongst his original
curly
locks; and if they are gray it's only because he's
cheaper than we female alumni...) So, cancel the
Cable and start brewing your own coffee, buy one-ply,
drive right on by Blockbuster's; do whatever it takes
to come up with the plane fare; and hurry your check
to Jan by the 7th!! (It's the least we can do, short
of becoming a Southwest Air Stewardess like Pat
McNelis Schader did in June just to get a free
ticket) Sure, there's a tiny few who are still tiny,
and a few who haven't earned any wrinkles yet, but
don't let that make you miss out on these wonderful
renewals of life! Don't think of this Reunion as a
Fete worse than death... think of it as a Dinner to
dye for, and Run to the nearest Postbox with your
check! Aren't you curious about how a Doctor of
Jurisprudence could be so concise?!(Master of Briefs
as well as Pilot?) Or Who became involved with
Interpol, tracing an international plane heist (ask
him how much That cost!) And don't you want to meet
again all the "first" girls in Bob Mac.'s life, and
chat with our Tibetan-Irish-Japanese-Chinese-Spanish-
Italian-flavored Texan; and learn the secret charms
of
Gail Eckel and Terry Roselli?(What does D.W. know
that
we don't?)Inquiring minds should want to know! I
personally can't wait!! See you ALL Soon I hope!!!

- Bob Birdsall is a logger up in Idaho, not currently on
the Internet. However, in the interests of our running
competition with the upstart class of ‘69,one of the
many classes he has sibling representation in, he has
agreed to have a quick Bio entered.
Bob has done a lot of different jobs, including work
as a carpenter, in the mines, fishing: river, and
Alaskan, logging, etc. He had his stint with horses
and cattle and is definitely Finished with them! (I
smell a good story here!) He has raised a family and a
half, and been through a divorce. Hopefully by now he
has a new Love Interest. His logging jobs take him
into the back-country. If you've ever wanted to be a
Mountain-Man, I think Bob would be a good person to
mine for info! He is interested in getting back into
contact with any of you; and especially with Rick
Bradshaw.

husband and I are getting ready to celebrate our 20th
year anniversay this month,in these times that's quite
an accomplishment. I returned to my Nursing job last
September and am still enjoying working in Health Care.
Our son,Jared, is on his way to Seattle University
next month, he was awarded a 4 year academic
schlorship there, and we're very proud of him. He's a
terrific kid and lots of fun to be around, we're going
to miss him when he leaves for school!
My husband remains very busy with his job at Boeing,
it's been a challanging year with all the lay offs .
I am still in contact with Donna, Pat and Sonja.
I am looking forward to the next reunion.
See you there!!

- You must be kidding. It would take a very long book
indeed to chronicle my rather insane life. Presently,
I'm selling classical records on E-bay...........talk
about obscure!! I've set up a new web site celebrating
the cover artwork of Classical recordings pressed on
vinyl. Those shiny little discs hold no interest for
me. In my humble opinion, I think the page
is somewhat entertaining.....if you love music and
ridiculously expensive audio equipment. Enjoy and God
Bless

- Since the "50th birthday" reunion, I have moved to
Santa Cruz with my husband. He got a job with the
County here and lucky me, I followed. I am retired
from my job now and taking time to decided what to do
with myself. I have two children, a daughter in Napa
(who has twins) and a son in St. Paul, MN. (who has
two daughters). I just got back from visiting my
granddaughters in MN, very hot and humid there.
It is really great living on the coast, always
dreamed of it when I was young. Our house is within
walking distance of the beach and we can hear the
waves at night.
My Father moved from Mt. View 9 yrs ago and my older
sister (class of '65) 4 yrs ago, so don't have people
to visit there anymore. My younger sister (class
of '70?) is in Sunnyvale but don't get up to see her
much. It's hard to leave this place and drive over
the hill.

- The 40th reunion was terrific! Thanks for welcoming me
even though I moved to Chicago in the middle of our
junior year. My heart was always at Awalt.
I left the Chicago area as soon as possible after
graduation and hit the road in a van with some other
folks. Later ended up in Portland, Or. where I met my
husband of 32 years.
After 20 years as a commercial insurance underwriter I
decided to go low stress, retire and drive special
needs school bus for the local school district. The
kids put life and love in a whole new perspective.
It was wonderful seeing all of you. Mr Cook is still
the best, isn't he? Michelle

- It seems like we just met in Sunnyvale for our 50th
birthday party. It was so nice to see everybody in
that context, and now we're about to do it again.
I was sad to learn that Pat Amato had finally left us,
but happy for her. As unnerving as the cancer had
been, she was psyched to be off to the next chapter
of her life with God. Good-bye to Tom Duncan, too.
Our kids are settled into their own lives, Katherine
(and two wild-women grandaughters)
in Los Altos, Zach in Massachusetts, and Steph in New
Hampshire; and that's a lucky thing. Two out of three
so close is a lucky break.
Love you all, "We were young together!"

- Hi!
My best news of the year is that I am a grandmother!
My daughter Ashley and son-in-law Steve gave us a
beautiful little girl in March named Madeline Marie.
She is the absolute joy of our lives. They live here
in Fresno so we get to see the family a lot. Hard to
believe there are so many in the class of '67 that are
grandparents.
Guy (Awalt class of '66) and I celebrated our 30th
wedding anniversary in Maui this year. I don't feel
as old as that sounds! We are enjoying life
thoroughly and look forward to another 30 years!
Our son, Blair, is still at Biola University in La
Mirada finishing his credential and master's
programs. He's 23 and enjoys living in the L.A. area.
We weren't able to come to the reunion in July but
enjoy hearing about it and seeing pictures. One of
these years...
Guy is president of HRH Insurance in Fresno and still
works real hard. When he hears of people our age
retiriing, he gets a little wistful, but he's not
ready for that yet! I work part time with
kindergarteners. I enjoy that very much but sure
value having the afternoons off.
Hope to see you sometime soon.

- WOW, how do you answer that question, "what have you been doing
since graduation?"
The short version, been married twice and have 2 daughters and (2
grand kids) 2/10/08 now 5 Grand Kids Including a set of twins added
December 2007. I have tried my hand at many occupations, that have
basically always revolved around sales and marketing.
I currently own and am President of Hydro Stream Performance Boats.
We manufacture both family recreational boats and race products. The
plant is in Maryville, TN outside Knoxville, where I spend a couple of
weeks per month. We currently hold 2 World Championships winning
2006 and 2007 ODBA Super Comp Titles and also many High Points
Championships around the country. My wife Pamela and I live in
Alameda and have a second home in Byron, CA out in the delta. We
now also have a place in Cabo, we just got from last week.
Pamela is the Infiniti dealer in Oakland and we have been married
almost 22 years. We both love travel and plan a major trip somewhere
in the world annually, with smaller trips every couple months.
This year, 2005, we went to Thailand, Cambodia (The ruins at Angkor
Watt), and Bhutan (for Spring Festival). We have travel much of Asia,
and have plans for Europe over the next few years. 2007 we finally
made it to Italy, part pleasure, part business. Our company now has a
European Distributor outside Milan. We loved Italy and hope to visit at
least annually. Next we will be traveling to Turkey this spring to add a
distributor for the middle east.
My life has become something I never considered, in high school I was
a class clown who refused to take on responsibility, today I run my
own company that hold multiple World Championships and World
Records and manufactures a product that is distributed around the
world. Who would have thought!
Basically life is good, like all of us I have some regrets but overall I
have been lucky to develop good friends, and financial security that
allows Pam and I to do most of the things we desire.
I hope the class of '67 finds itself content with life, but with a spirt to
grow and experience the world.

- What's New?
- First I should say that I left Awalt after sophomore
year. I transferred to San Domenico School for Girls
in Marin County where I graduated. I then went on to
Santa Clara University, spending my Junior Year at
Loyola in Rome. Upon graduation I moved to Rhode
Island where I became the Assistant Dean of Students at
Rhode Island School of Design. In 1974, I moved to
Manhattan where I lived until 1991. While in New York
I began a career in the theatre, starting with a
position at Theatre Communications Group, the service
organization for nonprofit theater in the U.S. After
that I was the Managing Director of the O'Neill Theater
Center's National Playwrights Conference. In 1981, I
spent a year working for film director, Robert Altman,
when he directed a play on Broadway and on film, titled
"Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy
Dean" After that, I became a producer with a small
television and film production company. I produced
several music videos, as well as many industrial films
for companies like American Express and T.V. Guide.
I would like to add that I had a wonderful time at our
"50th birthday celebration" and was happy to be
included even though I'm not an official graduate. I
would also like to say that Awalt will always hold a
very dear place in my heart as it was where I met my
best friend in life, Danny Cuneo.
Oh, I should also say, that even though I was known as
Martha in school, I now go by Marsue which is a
contraction of my first and middle names (yes, you
guessed it, Martha Susan). But, if it's easier, you
can all call me Martha and I promise I'll answer!

Unfortunately, I believe I will miss the reunion due
to scheduling conflicts.
However, Jan asked us to turn in some pictures and I
have sent along my daughter Shelby's picture. She is
5 years old and will be entering kindergarden in
August. Does this classify me as having the youngest
child of our class ? I am sure all of you are empty
nesters by now, so you can imagine my concern when
this beautiful girl enters high school, any clues ?
Picture I sent: www.geocities.com/tomdepew/shelby.html

- What's New?
- Immediatly after graduation, I enlisted in the
U.S. Army (to avoid the draft) & in May of 68 through
Dec.69 found myself in Viet Nam serving with the 25th
Infantry Division out of Cu Chi (the land of
tunnels), so much for missing the draft and
the "Nam". Received two Purple Hearts for wounds
that I received, but only have some scars,
nothing to harmful; as well as a Bronze Star (in my
mind for being a little over zealous, as a squad
leader). Went on to Foothill Jr.College (had a delay
of almost a year during my first year due to a
serious automobile accident, Tom Long of our class
unfortunatly died of his injuries) & then on to CSU
Chico and recived my BS in Accounting. Worked as an
Account and as Asst. Controller and later Controller
from 1977 to the end of 1996 for numerous firms over
the years, including Hills Bros. Coffee, KRON TV and
Broderbund Software.
But in 1996 I went to a VA Outreach Clinic to
volunteer for some tests (reserching Viet Nam Veterans
years later, with the University of San Francisco).I
was diagnosed with suffering from several ailments
form my stint over in Asia in the 60's. On the bright
side I am quite well off financially now, and am not
working due to my Veterans Adminstration pension (I
have been classified at 150 % disabled, with Post
Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Tramatic Brain
Injury (TBI), Diabetes due to the Agent Orange that
was used in the late 60's, and I suffer a loss of
normal hearing without hearing aids). And I also
receive Social Security Disabitly benefits which will
both be paid to me for the rest of my life!
I have a 27 year old son, a graduate of UCLA who is
working in the music field in LA, has played as a
member of the backup band for the likes of Quincy
Jones & Barbra Striesand and composes music, for
which some has been published; And he enjoys being a
studio mucician as well! I am married with my 3rd
wife and by far the greatest woman that I ever have
met for 9+ years now, another true hippie from the
60's. We live in the small village of Glen Ellen in
Sonoma County, up here in the Wine Country of
Northern California, a mix of the old hippie types as
well as some of the Dot Com survivors who I refer to
as the yuppies, a couple of famous rock Musicians
live in town, Michael MacDonald of the Doobie
Brothers is a neighbor.....very peaceful and quite a
small town to live, population just broke 1,000 last
year(we have a 1 1/2 acres of land with a large
house, including a Barn, my 3 dogs love the land,it
all brings me nothing but happiness. Ever tried our
wine?
Have recieved a lot of emails concerning my
disabilities, thanks to all you; but I am doing just
fine and get about quite well though I have to use a
walking cane for long distances but other than that I
am physically fine...thanks again. Just a lot of
Diabetes medication (just the numerous pills, no
injections).
Hope to see everyone at our next reunion in Palo Alto
in August of 2007!! lots of love to all of you...ross

- I am an East Sider of San Jose now and have been for
30 yrs. Met my husband David that long ago and
started working in his family business, a "GREAT"
Bakery, Peters' Bakery on Alum Rock Ave. We are now
running it after the loss of his dad Tony at age 88.
The tradition goes on and after 68 yrs, we still have
great eclairs and cakes. Our son Max (25) Has
graduated frm Long Beach State in Psy. and creative
writing. Not working in either field but at least is
working. I graduated with a degree in sculpture from
Hayward St., cake decorating is just edible
sculpture. So I actually us my art degree. Also liked
victorian costuming so much that went back and got a
degree in fashion design at West Valley so I could
make the clothes. Now too much time at bakery and too
small of a house, leaves room for sewing and
designing cloth dolls and small quilts. Still love
making miniature room boxes, one is of the loby of
the bakery. But I live in the country in a forest and
can Bird Watch every day, just like my mom.

- What's New?
- I moved to Mt. View in '59 when my folks went to work
for Hewlett Packard.
We moved in across the street from Barry Richardson,
down the street from Danny Cuneo, around the corner
from Ken Jaffe, Nolan Hubley, & Garrick Miyamoto, two
blocks from Steve Grubb, three blocks from Leslie
Prindle, four blocks from Pat Lent, Mike Doro, & Stan
Sooter, five blocks from Craig Thomas, and six blocks
from Larry Quadro.
I went to Bubb, and Graham before Awalt.
After Awalt I met Craig Thomas's girl friends sister
Diane Metz, went to Foothill J.C., obtained my private
pilots certificate, my draft # was 177, and life was
good.
I got a letter from the D.O.D. in '70, and like Ross
Gadeberg, I joined to "beat" the draft. I wanted to
fly helicopters but flight school was closed, so I
was "convinced" to become a crew-cheif, and stay with
aviation while waiting for a flight school slot to
open.
I went to basic at Fort Ord, transportation school in
Virginia, and then was stationed back at Fort Ord
where Diane and I were married, and again life was
good.
Ten months later(still no opening in flight school) I
received orders for Viet Nam that found me dispensing
justice from the back seat of a light observation
helicopter in the central highlands of II Corps
in '72'73. Five shoot-downs later, I made it home all
in one piece, but the part of me that Diane married
stayed in Viet Nam, and the part that came home no
longer interested her, so we parted company in '75.
I went to work for Longs Drugs in Antioch Ca., and was
working for them when my folks were transfered to the
calculator division of H.P. in Corvallis Oregon.
On my first visit with them, I took one look around
Oregon, and turned in my notice to Longs & the Bay
Area for greener pastures.
I went to work for H.P. Corvallis in '77, where I
served an apprentice for (and became) a model-maker-
machinist.I took up bowhunting for elk, and also fell
in with a colorful group of hang-glider pilots which I
flew with for five years until a little girl from
Indiana came along and settled me down.
Anna and I were married in '82, we had Ryan in '84,
and Juliana in '86.
I transfered to the printer division of H.P. in
Vancouver Wa. in '90 where we are now.
I became involved in the restoration of a 7ECA
Citabria airplane, which after resteration we flew to
the EAA convention in Oshkosh Wisconsin, twice. While
at the convention the second time, I fell in love with
a kit plane design called a "Van's RV-8", so after the
Citabria partnership broke up I started building my
own airplane in '99, and it is still a work in
process. To view the project go to www.rv-8.com and
look under Randy Griffin.
So I've been married to Anna for 22 years, been with
H.P. for 27 years, Ryan is at WSU, Juliana is at CWU,
the folks are still in Corvallis, and you are now up
to date with probably more information about me than
you ever wanted to know.

- Married 1971-2000. Have lived in Chico, CA, since 1985.
Took early retirement in 11/07. Enjoying the "slower"
life. Haven't taking up any volunteering as yet but
the thought is there. Enjoying reading a book in a
day, hanging out with my old lady cat, she's 15 years,
and just relaxing. However, I haven't been able to
fill all my time - so my house is cleaner than it's
been in 20 years!
Spending time with my "grands", Sophia 3 1/2 years and
Will, 18 months, is my main joy. Their dad, my son
Mike, is getting a divorce. He was married for nearly
six years. Sad but he's doing very well.
Daughter, Katie, has been on disability since 12/26/06
after taking a fall down a flight of stairs at work.
No idea when she'll be able to return to work or what
she'll be able to do. She and Eric have been married
since 2004. No "grands" planned from that union.
Katie and I made a road trip this June/July. Drove
5136 miles, 12 states, in ten days. Had a ball! Got to
visit with alumni Connie Tuttle Dow in Tooele, UT,
among other stops. Connie's dad, Ray Tuttle, was the
7/8 grade science teacher at Covington Junior when we
were in those grades. Some of you might have had him
then. He's slowing some but still has a wicked sense
of humor!

- After graduation, I attended DeVRY college in
Phoenix, AZ. I married shortly afterward, and was
blessed with a son. This marriage ended in divorce.
I went to work for Signetics Corporation in
Sunnyvale, CA in Facilities. I worked there 11 years,
with a stint in the Air Force sandwiched between that
employment at Signetics. While I was at Signetics I
remarried, and will be married to my wife Georgia for
26 years in June. She also had a son. Our sons are
grown, single and successful.
I longed for my own business and obtained an
Electrical Contracting License. I left Signetics to
open my own Electrical Contracting Company in San
Jose, CA. After 11 years, I turned it over to my
brother-in-law.
I was always fascinated by aviation, and learned to
fly, getting my private airplane license in 1974. In
1989 I got my private helicopter license, and in 1990
got my commerical helicopter license, enabling me to
be a Certififed Flight Instructor. So, I opened an
Aviation Company at the Hollister, CA Airport,which
offered helicopter and airplane flight instuction. I
loved this business, but it wasn't as lucrative as I'd
hoped. I closed the aviation company in 1992,and
accepted the position of Facilitites Manager for the
Anritsu Company in Morgan Hill, CA
In 2003 I left Anritsu Company. I guess you'd say
every 11 years I shed my skin and try a new venture.
Here I am, eleven years later, pursuing a new career
in real estate.
My wife Georgia and I sold our condo in Carmel, CA
and have relocated, purchasing a home at Sun City

- To compress 33 years into a few paragraphs is a real
challenge. And since I was never one to toot my own
horn, I will keep this short.
My life has had many interesting twists and turns in
it. After high school I attended college in Washington
State. I was far too immature, flunked out and came
limping back to California. I spent one year working at
Fairchild Semiconductor as a wafer etcher and decided I
had too much talent to do that for the rest of my life.
Over the next 15 years, I had a daughter, became a
Registered Nurse and traveled and worked in Europe and
parts of the US. Injuring myself lifting a patient
early on, I finally sought care from a Chiropractor and
liked alternative ways of healing so much that I
decided to change professions.
I spent have spent the last 15 years working as a
Chiropractor. I now have a multi-doctor facility that I
manage and continue to treat patients on a limited
basis. I've managed to salvage a good part of my sense
of humor even if I am almost a half a century old and I
have 3 granddaughters.
High school seems like so many life times ago. However,
many of you helped shape who I am now. And I'm not sure
if that is good or bad. Looking forward to seeing all
of you!
Presently 2004 I have purchased a retirement home in
Mendicino County right on the beach. It's a dream come
true. So in order to finance the place I have taken on
more responsibilities with my old profession Nursing.I
am continuing to work at my Chiropracti business in
Cupertino. I have been in training as a Forensic Nurse
for the County of Santa Clara and work part time as a
Hospice on call nurse. Doubt if I will see any
retirement for a long time with this new purchase.

Still here in Wildwood, now beginning my twelfth year
of teaching physics, my sixth at Parkway South High
School out here in the burbs. The school is great,
the kids are fantastic, and the faculty (especially
the science staff) could not be better.
Judie is in her 17th year as school counselor at
Green Pines Elementary and is talking more and more
of retiring. With all the kids and relatives "Out
West," the main thing holding us here is the jobs we
love.
All four kids are doing fine. Tyleen now lives in
Monte Vista, Colorado, and Brett's in Denver. Marci
is in Escondido, but would like to move up to
Portland where Paul is now located. As you can see,
we're definitely "away," with the closest of the four
being a fourteen hour drive away.
Grandkid number four, Isaac Wesley Alan Stults, is
now in the picture. Takes after his sisters and
brother in the cutie-pie department, and I've got
pictures to prove it!

California. I loved it, but I completed only one year. I was
an arts and crafts counselor for two summers '68 and '69)
and worked at a Girl Scout camp in the San Fernando
mountains. In between those summers I traveled to
Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico. Upon my return from Mexico, I
enrolled at Foothill College, tried U.C. Berkeley for a
semester, then returned to Foothill College and FINALLY
earned my 2-year AA degree in '71. I held various clerical
jobs in Silicon Valley, my favorite one being in the computer
center at Stanford University. I moonlighted as an artists
model and co- founded the Palo Alto Models Guild. I met my
future husband, an artist, in '75, we married in '79 and we
moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in '80. Three days after our
daughter was born in '85, we moved to Joplin, Missouri. We
moved to Michigan in '89 and have lived here ever since.
Currently, I have the good fortune to be a homemaker and
volunteer (school district, church, and sometimes politics). I
switched my artistic creative outlet to writing after marriage
so that I could have an identity separate from my husband's.
Other hobbies include gardening, cooking, stamp collecting,
reading and walking.
REGRETS
By transferring to Tahoe Truckee High School for the last
semester of my senior year, I did not do as well as I would
have liked in the all-metropolitan fencing finals. I was not
around to get my Awalt yearbook signed, so I tore it up.
FADED MEMORIES
I remember Mike Benefiel (natural born leader, thanks for the
rides home from fencing practice!), Karen Cole (thanks for
letting me ride your horse!), Shelly Thompson (great humor!),
Marybeth Fogg (intelligent and funny, too!), Jennifer Gregg
(friendly), Marilyn Lambert (awesomely artistic!), Penny
Pingree (life-long friend), Joani Powell (my monopoly pal,
where are you now?), Olive Schad (fencing pal, friendship
renewed as a result of 32-year reunion plans), Pete Sneider
(talented pianist, lived down the street from me in high
school, had a beautiful collie named Sunny), Connie Tuttle
(nice, nice, nice), Tina and her beautiful long, blond hair. I
could probably remember more if my memory were jogged.

- It was so great seeing all those who have come to the
past 6 reunions at Cuesta Park in July. Due to the
small turnouts the last 2 years, we are encouraging
you to attend the MVHS reunion in Oct, there will be
no more Awalt reunion in July that were for all
graduating classes. Of course individual classes will
continue to have their reunions.
I moved to Monterey to work at the Defense Language
Institute this May and have yet to realize I've
really moved here. It is beautiful! I walk to work,
teach ballroom dancing in the evening as well as do
some dancing myself.

- Hello Everyone,
I can't believe that I am 50 and back not only where I was raised but working for the Los Altos School District. I work as a psychologist at Egan Intermediate School.
To back up a bit, I attended Foothill and CSU Chico where I obtained my BA and MA in counseling psychology. I then worked at Mendocino State Hospital, Butte County Juvenile Hall, Fresno County Juvenile Court Schools, and became Director of special programs for Fresno County.
While at Chico I met my wonderful wife and we were married in 1977. Our son just finished college and I feel like we are the same age. In my mind, I still feel like I'm 25.
In 1983 we sold out and bought a larger sailboat and spent the next two years sailing around the South Pacific. It was the experience of a lifetime. Damon wanted to go to high school in the States so we sailed home and that is when I thought it might be fun to move back to the Bay Area.
I started a financial and retirement planning business which kept me very busy until 1994 when we sold it to a Wall Street firm. That is when I returned to my real profession...helping children.
After the stress of adolescence, I thoroughly enjoy being "grown up"!

- Hi Class of 1967,
I became a dental hygienist, moved to Hawaii, lived in
a tree house in Hawaii, almost lost my life during the
Viet Nam War(I was severely beat up by a policeman in
San Francisco )married the man who saved my life, had
two beautiful children, and now have three beautiful
grandchildren.
I love to travel. Becky Wagner Rodman and I have
taken three fantastic trips together; Italy, Ireland,
and India(all start with I, hum) We are planning a
trip to Peru Aug. 2008(guess we're breaking the I
destination pattern). Becky remains my dearest
friend, we see each other often. I usually make an
annual trip up to visit her on Guemes Island, WA. It
is so beautiful on the island. Becky's home is like
going to the most beautiful resort...pristine and
peaceful.
I live in Chico and own a dental employment
agency "The Dental Connection", and I also teach Yoga.
I'm single, but wouldn't be opposed to sharing my life
with a new love...we shall see. I love to be out in
nature as much as possible. I own a kayak and take
kayak trips down the Sacramento River as often as
possible. Dan and Danny Nichols are my neighbors and
we need to go horesback ridding soon!
I had the pleasure of attending our last reunion. And
I also had the pleasure of having Pat McNellis attend
to my needs on a recent flight to Seattle. Pat you
have such a great sense of humor! Pat had the plane
in hysterics!!!!!!!!!
All for now, Take Care, Be Well,
Josie

- UPDATE...Hello all...update time. Attended our 40th
reunion last month. Thanks to Southwest I had a San
Jose layover and was able to attend the reunion
while "working"! My highlights of the evening were
spending time with the best of all, life's true
blessing, old friends. Another special happening was
re-aquainting with Fred Sorenson, Southwest Airlines
Capt. for the past 13 years! It's a small world, but
apparently not at Southwest. How did I not know?? My
husband has also joined the airline, having been
downsized one too man times from ag management. He is
in our ground ops deptartment at Chicago's Midway
Airport. Kinda neat having him see me off the gate or
welcome me back in! We are at 33 years of marriage
this year...OUCH!
My oldest was married for the 2nd time last October
and is a flight attendant for JetBlue.
My youngest is a "soph" just like my last update, but
now its college! She recently won a scholarship from
TWU of Southwest and apparently has her priorities
about education on a level I never considered. Her
next step appears to be the Culinary Institute of
Chicago. Pastry Chef! Got something from me after all
even if it's creating sweets instead of eating them!
Cheesecake is cheesecake...right? Love living in
Illinois in my hometown and being close to family and
friends from childhood. 34 of us took a two week trip
to Alaska last year....a memory that makes me smile. I
now have a 3,000 sq ft. condo above a Victorian
funeral home! Incredible place, quiet neighbors!
Speaking of friends, I was honored to have
MaryJo "Josie" McLaughlin on a flight with me last
week. What a great surprise. She was heading off to an
Alaskan Cruise.
To those that missed the reunion, it was
wonderful....to those I had a chance to see again...it
was the best. Can't wait for the next time.!!

- Well, since I haven't updated my listing since the 50th
birthday party / reunion, I suppose I'm due...
My history remains the same. Looking back over the
past four(!) decades it has been a truly
interesting excursion: four years at UC Berkeley for a
Physics degree; two years at UCLA for a Master's in
Comparative Folklore & Mythology (honest!); a decade
as a working musician, academic and violin maker; the
past 30 years as a computer systems analyst in
aerospace, non-profits and business. I moved to Santa
Barbara in 1978 and then about four years ago to Santa
Ynez (just over the hill from SB). It looks like this
is where I'm going to stay: I love it here! We have a
nice place on a hill, with a small orchard and a great
view. And retirement is just around the corner
Music continues to be my passion (if I could only
*afford* to be a full-time musician...). I'm composing
and performing as much as time and energy allow. You
can get some idea of what I've been up to by visiting
my new web site at: www.SlidingScaleMusic.com.
Stay in touch!

- Life after graduation began interestingly enough. As a
US Marine, I served in Viet Nam begining in Dec 67.
During the 68 Tet Offensive my brother Jose (Awalt
65'), cousin David Simental (MVHS 67') and I found
ourselves in the very same foxhole. Unbelievable!
Three tours later I returned home in Mar 71. After
that delightful experience I thought it best to join
life again.
While in Viet Nam I was corresponding with a nice
young lady from Fresno. Yolanda and I later met and
got married in 1972. Six kids (I graciously give up
the kid title to B.McLeod and Mel Gibson with 7) and
27 years later, we have an adorable grandaughter. They
are our greatest blessing. We call Fresno home now,
but we lived in Gresham, Oregon (near the Columbia
River Gorge between Oregon and Washington) when
Mt. St. Helens erupted. That was kind of different.
I graduated from CSU Fresno with a degree in
Microbiology. I am the Director of Microbiology for
Lyons Magnus, an International Aseptic Food Processor
based in Fresno, CA.
Over the
years my family has camped/hiked from
Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain NP, most of Utah/Colorado,
the Grand Canyon, Yosemite to the Olympic Rain
Forest. Been there, done that! Hiking to the bottom of
the Grand Canyon was personally rewarding. Now days
for fun I like to strum my fender guitar, go fly
fishing with my 12 year old daughter Steffanie on the
near by Kings River (we collaborate on the fish
stories) and tinker with all these neat new computer
gadgets. Everyone take care and hope to see all
of you at the reunion to re- share "new" old memories.
Happy New Millenium!

It took me 10 years, a marriage and divorce before I
convinced her of that. We have now been married for 18
years and have a great 9 year old son Johnny III. I
majored in Aerospace Engineering and Geology. Since I
couldn't decide between rocks and stars, I did the
logical thing and went into computer programming.
After spending 14 years at various silicon valley
companies that are no longer around, I gave up all
hope and went into the public sector. I have been the
IS Manager at the Alameda County Water District in
Fremont for the last 12 years and refuse to leave.

After graduation, I moved to San Francisco, and began

Got married in 1970, to my best friend Tony. We will

grandson, Nicholas. Our pride and joy. Over the years,
I've worked in
various dental offices, and taught reading,math,and
art to elementary school kids(I love working with
children!) Owned (with Sheri Davis,) a full service
Bridal business.After living in San Jose for 25 years
we decided to "retire". So, we sold our home and moved
to the beautiful Carson Valley! This place is Heaven
on earth! After 5 months of retirement, I went back to
work.I'm now working as a Lab. Tech. for an
orthodontist in Carson City-back with the kids! Life
has been good! I'm
looking forward to seeing everyone in July 2001.
Please let me know if I can help with the preparations

and Hosteling opportunities along the Coastal Trail.
We have a petition that gives more information.

would be a value even with a high price tag.
It would be nice to have some memory of how it was to
come to the beach, when there were cottages, barns and
open-space.
We are inviting all Awalt Alum to a beach party Oct 6
2007 about 2pm. It will be a the cove down the beach
from the stares at the end of 38th Ave.
Come on down and tell other graduates
I am teaching Yoga at the Spas and Capitola Community

I am their representative to the Regional
Transportation Task force, where I advocate for Urban
Villages, the purchase of the rail line for trails and
rails, paths along Riparian Corridors and an integrated
transportation management plan.
I have instigated the Pleasure Point 4th of July Parade
for the last 3 years. "The Worlds Shortest Surf Parade"
Last year I was a United Ways Community Hero for my

In my spare time I surf and try to save a little part

- I graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1971 and
fulfilled my dream of flying Navy fighters off of
aircraft carriers. After two tours in F-4s, I opted for
an airline career while I had fun flying fighters in
the Naval Reserve. I flew as an adversary pilot
(simulated bad guy in air-to-air combat) for over 10
years here in Virginia Beach and ended up commanding
the squadron for a year and a half. As far as the other
flying is concerned, I'm currently an A-320 Captain for
Northwest Airlines based in Detroit.
Mary and I have been married for 32 years now, and
we're very proud of the three sons we've raised. Dan
graduated from the Naval Academy in 1994, left the Navy
after his 5-year commitment was up, and is currently
working for GE Power Systems in Atlanta. Paul
graduated from the Naval Academy in 1997 and is
currently a P-3/C-130 pilot stationed at Pt Mugu,
Calif. He and his wife, Nicole, blessed us with a
granddaughter, Breanna Monique, in March 2003. Mark
graduated from UVa in 2000 and is a Marine aviation
supply officer currently stationed at MCAS Miramar in
San Diego (where I was stationed when he was born).
Mary retired from teaching 2nd grade in '99, and
we're looking forward to travelling on a moment's

an "apprenticeship" at various motorcycle shops, I
have enjoyed a career as a mechanic with United
Airlines, now drawing to a close. I am happily

We plan on migrating out of state by 2007. No kids,
just pets and motorcycles.
That's all for now. See you at the next get-together,
perhaps.
Update 9/13/06;
I retired from UAL in december of 2004, and have been
keeping busy doing home improvement projects, as well
as fun things. Katie and I will stay in Vacaville for
a while yet. This location is great for getting to
the coast, mountains, and wine country. Quiet at
night, too.

- Well Gosh, didn't know that us old fatties had a
listing on the web......GREETINGS!! Like many of you I
attended some local colleges. It was hard
to find work with the Govn't in the field of
Anthropology due to affirmative action policies so I
entered into the Nuke building business where I ran
into Terry Roselli in SE Washington State in 1980. I
nuked around a couple of more jobs and then entered
back into Archaeology where I ran into Don Zerga in
Reno (also in Archaeology). Worked for the
Transportion Dept. of Nevada until 1991.
Got tired of moving around so got a job with Lyon
County just over the hill from Garnderville, NV. I
live on 10 acres with my wife of 10 years and raise
yummy sheep, border collies (not so yummy) and train
stallions (at least two so far). Went from a Burb dude
to liberal ranching type (very rare up this-a-way).
I ended up nearly bald but not too fat and will retire
in about 3 years to some pasture acreage south of
Olympia, Washington. Have traveled a fair amount
(Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific, Ecuador, and
most of North America).
Not sure if any of you remember me or not but I was
kind of a quite athletic nerd. My only claim to quiet
fame was that while at Awalt, I could BAR SNAP farther
than anyone during my four years. Kind of hard to
capitalize on that kind of physical talent, just one
of my many non-profitable talents. My brain woke up
finally in my forth year in college (probably due to
laying off the booze). It was great to run into this
website. Take care all!

- What's New?
- Life is great both professionally and personally. I
have been busy since early 1998 building out the new
investment services company for HP and Agilent
employees, the new company that resulted from the
recent "HP Split" -- not to mention the recent merger
between HP and Compaq.
I'm still playing hardball baseball on an over 40 team
in Sacramento and will continue to do so as long as
the old body parts hold up!
Dollie and our kids, Christy, age 26 and Jon, age 23,
are doing great!
We are looking forward to the next reunion event to be
able to see everyone.

- I'm really happy I finally left the Bay Area and
moved to Rocklin (east of Sacramento) two years ago.
Abdicated from the rat race so to speak. It's way more
laid back up here than in the Bay Area. I've made many
new fiends and really enjoy the neighborhood I moved
into. I'm doing more outdoor activities than I was
able to do down there, since I'm so much closer to the
mountains & the country for my fishing/camping/hiking
activities that I love to do. I'm only 2 1/2 hours
from San Jose/Mountain View so staying in touch with
family & friends there is pretty easy.
I'm sorry I missed this years all class picnic. I was
looking forward to it, but my son brought my
grandchildren to Donner Memorial in Truckee for a
camping trip. Easy choice there.
Take care all & I hope all is well in each of your
worlds.

- Many thanks for the warm wishes and greetings from all
of you at the reunion, and thanks also for welcoming
my "party double" Kimberly. Being 1/2 my size and
twice as outgoing, she made the perfect stand-in! If
I'm able to come to the next reunion I'll be sure to
bring her along too...on the downside...after 30 years
of marriage, Ivan and I have reached the "for worse"
stage. His dad died of ALS in 1989 and Ivan started
limping in the summer of 2005. It turns out it runs
in the family. I'm thankful we ended up in Chicago
where there's a huge ALS foundation that helps in many
ways, but your prayers are much appreciated at this
time!

- What's New?
- I am a violinist and violist and earned my music
degrees at the University of California, Los Angeles.
I am also a violin-maker and I make stringed
instruments to loan, free of charge to emerging
artists, through my Foundation - Fondazione MAESTRO
Cremona.
My performing positions included Concertmaster of the
Palisades Symphony, violist and violinist in the
Pasadena Symphony, Santa Barbara Symphony, and the
Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. In addition, I enjoy
performing both instruments in chamber music
concerts.
I was active in recording for motion pictures, TV,and
recordings in the Los Angeles commercial music
industry. Besides my position as the Director of Music
Development at Crossroads School for Arts and
Sciences, and Vice-Chair of the MAESTRO Foundation, I
founded and directed the San Juan Islands Chamber
Music Festival in Washington State from 1991 to 2002.
In 2003, I founded the Fondazione MAESTRO Cremona for
which I serve as President and Executive
Director.
My son, Matthew, is 27 and currently working and
living in Manhattan. He's a 2-meter man, close to
6'7", and used to play a fair amount of basketball.
I am in my 6th year as a resident of Cremona,
Italy - the city which was home to the greatest
luthiers of all time - Stradivari, Amati, and
Guarneri, to name a few. I truly hope that if you
find yourself in the area, you will stop by and visit.
