I attended my Freshman and part of my sophomore year at Awalt, before my family moved and I finshed high school at Homestead. All the memories...such a great school. I enjoyed my Russian class with Mr. Mankowski, and English with Mr. Birdsall. Many years later I was in Seattle on a sleepy Sunday morning looking for something to do in the newspaper and came across a gallery listing for a Byron Birdsall...now how many Byron Birdsalls can there be? So we took the time to check out the showing and of course it was the very same person. Evidently he moved to Alaska and became a well known artist...in fact one of his pieces was on the cover of the Anchorage phone book. A few years ago my home burned and all of my yearbooks went up too so I have no resource for remembering except my fading memories...37(!)years takes it's toll. Well, if any of you recollect me I would love to hear from you...and if you know where Joanne Marino, or Nancy Marshall or Traude von Steht are now please tell them to contact me, OK? James A.

Currently trying to renew my interest in photography and get my "eye" back. I find my real spiritual self when sailing however. I took up racing rather athletic small sailboats 15 years ago and though physically and mentally demanding, i find a real inner peace when on the water. Never was much of a surfer because i prefer to be on the water not in it :^) I just went bigboat sailing with Rusty Sabella, my best friend through high school, even though he was Los Altos '65, lead singer of "The Fugitives" you may recall. We hadn't seen each other in nearly 30 years! wow, hard to believe. I hope all is well with everyone, I have no complaints and so much to be grateful for.

Location: Berkeley, CA Updated: 31-Oct-2006 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New? 10/31/06 Can't believe it's been 40 yrs and I'm knocking hard on 60! I'm even a grandfather of twins! Was there a 40th reunion? I attended the 20th, but missed #30. Even though I was at Awalt for only 2 yrs, I made some good friends and still have fond memories (well they're not all fond!) of that time. After graduation, I went to UCB, but was lonely, unhappy and disillusioned what with the war, the draft, etc. I dropped out after a year and a half and spent almost the next 20 yrs as a woodworker designing and building, ultimately ending with a small cabinet and fine furniture making business. Career #2 began with taking some classes at local jc's. I swam for Laney College and also on a Master's team in Berkeley for many years where I met my wife, Marcia. I returned to UCB, but instead of studying architecture as everyone thought I would, I got a degree in molecular biology. This led to some interesting work including electron microscopy, work on the Human Genome Project, some cancer research and looking for genes that may be involved in alcoholism. Career #3 was a radical departure into the automotive world. I bought a dynamometer with which I can measure a car's performance, tune them (usually for max power) and test various devices I design and build. I do quite a bit of computer simulation of airflow over car bodies and through intake and exhaust systems. I'm currently building an engine that will reside in a Porsche to challenge the 253 mph speed posted by the Bugatti Veyron. I'm also working with a friend to form a company that will do automotive R&D, build race cars for ourselves and customers, experiment with new materials and processes, etc. Also working on several ideas that might even make some money!! And now there's a concurrent career that grew out of my wife having a stroke last year. It has been a brutally difficult and sad year and a half and our lives have changed dramatically. Marcia is recovering slowly, having progressed from not being able to sit upright to walking (with some assistance still). We're working very hard to bring more life back to her left arm and hand. Due to some major deficiencies in the Kaiser system, I've had to manage Marcia's recovery and learn a great deal about physical and occupational therapy. I've also made hand splints since there are so few decent ones available comercially. My heart has been torn apart from the devastation I've seen in Marcia's life and the lives of many other stroke victims I've met. To see someone go from "normal" function to paralysis and mental impairment overnight is just incomprehensible to me. As a result, I'm considering getting a PT degree in hope of helping some of these folks recover what was so suddenly and cruelly stolen from them. I see Steve Kessler periodically at the Berkeley Bowl Market. I've wondered what happened to some of my other chums, Jon Nelson (glad to see he's on the list), Linda Lee, Robbie Halstrom, Pete Rowe, Dave Hargrove, Bill Greene, John Hottendorf, Fred Klein, Diane McLoughlin, Judy Moore, Barry Smith, Bob Sproule, my old doubles partner Dave Trowbridge, Chuck Wade... Looking through my musky old yearbook I was surprised at how many claassmates I did not know. It would be wonderful if a reunion were to magically happen! Cheers!

We lived in Germany (his home) for eight years where our 2 children were born. Markus is now 31 and Mieke is 26. We moved to New Jersey shortly after Mieke's birth. I worked at various jobs for the Catholic church, the Seeing Eye and now the American Red Cross. Uli and I moved to the Monterey Peninsula in 2003 and love being back in CA. Mieke is married and living in NJ. This year we became grandparents. That is an awesome experience. It's just too bad they live in NJ. 2010 update: We just had our second grandchild this summer. What a blast. Love the little ones. Unfortunately, Mieke and Kevin moved to NC so we don't see them as much as we would like. Markus is still in San Francisco so we get to see him every couple of months. Uli and I love living by the Monterey Bay. He sails and works at the great Aquarium.

Lived in LA for 5 years dancing and singing in musical productions as well as working at Disneyland in the Character Department while I finished college at Cal State LA graduating in 1970. I traveled with Disney on Parade, 1972 and 1973 where I met my wife Marla in Louisville, Kentucky. We have been married now for 33 years and have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I left show biz and went into mechanical design work in 1973. I continued to teach dance in San Jose part time for 10 years. I have been working as a mechanical engineering consultant with my own business since 1981. We have lived in Cupertino for the past 25 years. Our son (32) is an officer in Lexington Kentucky with his wife and 2 children (son 3 and daughter 8 months), and our daughter (28) is living in Anaheim Hills with her husband and daughter (1). She just ended 5 years working for Disneyland in the Character Department as well as Magic Music Days to become an at home mom. My wife lost her 30 year career as a professional musician to a rare form of focal motor distonia so we have taken up ballroom dance at the local Arthur Murray Studio for the past 6 years as an avocation enjoying the traveling events around the country. Our son is a part time web site designer and we have several photo sites I'd love to share with anyone interested. Feel free to contact me my email anytime. Timothy P. Hagan E-mail: timot...@a...

My mother died on December 6, 2003 after a long illness, and it was a tough time. I had been looking into relocating to the Beaverton, Oregon area when she died. I retired from my position as a Public Safety Dispatcher with the Twin Cities Police Department in Marin County on February 1, 2004, after a 23-year career that I loved. I now have a beautiful home in Beaverton, with wonderful neighbors and gorgeous scenery. I worked at AAA for 11 months part time as a call taker (hard work!), got bored, and now work full-time again as a Booking Clerk in the Washington County Jail. Guess I wasn't quite ready for retirement after all. I finally graduated from college last December with a BS in Emergency Management from Cal State Long Beach, thanks to an amazing Distance Learning Program they created for law-enforcement people who do shift work. Attending my graduation with my daughter last May was one of the great highlights of my life! My daughter, Wendy, is a Project Manager with Blue Shield in San Francisco and has already passed the dreaded 40 - YIKES! She is beautiful, funny, happy, healthy, and I am very proud of her. Don't know if we had a reunion last Summer. Would love to see everyone again and catch up. I enjoy working around my house, traveling, and getting together with friends and family.

Then enlisted in the Army from 68 to 71, with two tours overseas. Got back and was married with one son and a daughter on the way. Guess what I just went back to being a carpenter while I finish my education at Stanford, Boulder and San Jose. More education than I have ever used. Got divorced in 1975 and remarried a couple of years later. My wife Colleen and I will celebrate our 34th anniversary next month. I stayed in San Jose for almost 35 years and after 23 years in the building trades I finally used my education and took a job at Applied Materials as their Global Construction Manager. I got to travel way to much but built some great buildings. I retired in 2002 and relocated to a 10 acre parcel in Anderson Ca. Just about 9 miles east of Redding. Having fun fishing and running the Tax Payers Association up. Work when I feel like which isn't much. Have not heard from anyone from Awalt since I got back from the service.

Very happy to be able to connect up with the class in some form, for this is the first time to make the connection. After graduating, attended San Jose State for a year before transfering to Stanford. Traveled around the world for a year, then started graduate school in Buddhist Studies, finally ending up with a Ph.D. in the field from U.C. Berkeley. Taught at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley for over 15 years and served as Buddhist priest for 3 years in the bay area before getting a job as tenured professor at a university in Tokyo, Japan, where we now live. I love my job. Imagine, a Japanese American teaching Buddhism to Japanese students in a country where most of the people are nominally Buddhists! What an intersting world we live!I am on sabbatical this year, writing a book in Japanese on "Buddhism in America"! I return to California at least twice a year, spending part of the summer at our house that we kept in El Cerrito, next to Berkeley. This summer I took our youngest, a 16 year old daughter, to Awalt. She was impressed by the campus. We have two other kids (boys), graduated college (Harvard) two years ago (and now community activist trying to "save the world") and another going to college on the East Coast (Tufts Univ.). The youngest is still a junior, which means I still have 6 years of tuition paying. I've been wanting to connect up with the class of 66 for some time now, so am happy to be able to send this in. Should any of you remember me and want to connect up, I would love to hear from you. And once I am accepted on this listing, I'll be able to connect with some of your personally. 40 years is a long time, but some memories are fresh.

I attended the Awalt water polo team reunion last spring (May 2008). It was great to see classmates and teammates Cliff McGuire, Marc Larivee, Stan Weiss, Gary Sherer and others. Some of those guys are still in pretty good shape and more funny than ever. I don't play water polo any more, but I took up rugby while in law school at Stanford. That has been my main hobby since and I still play now and then. I do commercial real estate investing. It is kinda of like playing Monopoly with real money and I love it.

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've read it countless times.... will probably continue doing so in the future. Be sure to check out the web site, if you're curious about what the truly committed will do to achieve musical nirvana!

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.

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.

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. Sue Nancy J. Comerford (now Benton) E-mail: bento...@b...

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. Lynnda M. Corley (now DeFelice) E-mail: lynnd...@l...

Immediatly after graduation, I enlisted in the U.S. Army (to avoid the draft) & in January 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 30 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 12+ 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 4 dogs love the land,it all brings me nothing but happiness. Ever tried our wine? 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.

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.

Web Page: http://www.rv-8.com/RandyGriffin.htm Location: Vancouver, Wa. Updated: 17-Jan-2010 Tools: modify profile | delete profile 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.

Enjoying reading a book in a day, hanging out with my old lady cat, she's 16 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 40 years! Spending time with my "grands" is my main joy. Sophia, 4 1/2 years, will be starting Kindergarten 8/09. Hope to volunteer in her class like I did when her dad was in school. William is 2 1/2 and is one goofy little guy. Their dad is my son Mike. My 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 her husband, Eric, have been married since 2004. No "grands" planned from that union. Katie, Eric and I just returned from a 6500 miles, 16- state trip to the Mid-West and some of the southern states. What an magnificent country we live in and it was a joy to see more of it. One weird experience: had some rings fixed recently by Pete Cuneo here in Chico, CA. Turns out Pete is the little brother of Danny Cuneo! So - hey, there Danny. Your brother is an awesome jeweler!!

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 Anthem in Henderson, NV. I am a Real Estate Agent selling properties for Realty One Group in Las Vegas, NV. Check out my website: nolandsellsvegas.com Kathy Hymans E-mail: kchir...@i...

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! I've said it before, and I repeat it again: we've a big house here with lots of room. If you're ever in the area and are tempted to call, please do!

Updated: 26-Mar-2007 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New? 3/26/07 I'm not planning to attend our 40th reunion in person, but you can bet I'll be there in spirit. I’m still happily living in Michigan with my wonderful husband of 28 years. Our daughter (an only child) is 21 and attending college in San Francisco. Life is very good. 1/22/02 I've changed my email address and am happy to report that life is treating me well. I had a great time getting reacquainted with some of you at the Sunnyvale Hilton Bar on July 13, 2001. I had not attended an Awalt reunion since 1977 and will not be able to attend the all-Awalt reunions in the summer of 2002. However, my husband, daughter and I plan to visit the Bay Area in December 2002. I always look forward to visiting my roots and wish all of us good health and much happiness for many years to come. ADVENTURES SINCE '67 I transferred to Tahoe Truckee High School for the last semester of my senior year, but I have always identified with my Awalt graduating class. Fresh out of high school, I attended California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, 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. Bob MacLean E-mail: bobma...@g...

No space for details really but we are very happy. I visited her in July and the rest is history. Had a great time crashing the 40th for the class of '69 this summer, had to drive John Iaquinto home haha. It was nice seeing some old friends from long ago.

The Japan trip I mentioned in my last update (2006) is a distant memory now, although I still sing in the Rogue Valley Peace Choir and its associated smaller group, the Ensemble. Singing feeds my soul. Thanks to the down economy, I was able this year to buy a condo in Ashland, Oregon. It's a great little place, two bedrooms, two baths, just enough yard, all within walking distance of work and downtown. Chewy (my dog) and I are very happy here. Reading the entries of others, it's clear that I am one of the few still working. Have been at an educational organization for over two years and love it. Retirement is still a ways off for me but that's okay, as I have a lot of energy! Lastly, my new quote: I'm an idealist.

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"! Nancy McKereghan E-mail: nanci...@h...

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.!! **** 40 YEAR RE-CAP **** *After graduation married Tom O'Connor (The "James Dean" of Awalt '66) widowed 1971. *Married again 1974, spent the next two decades in sales and eventually opened a travel agency. *Adopted two beautiful little girls at birth (now 26 & 19) and learned the most about love and commitment. *At 50, decided to try the "path not chosen" earlier in life, "flying" and moving back home. *Life's greatest lesson ..."If it's meant to be, it's up to ME!"

Well, since I haven't updated my listing in quite a while, I suppose I'm due... My history remains basically 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 and network analyst in aerospace, non-profits and business. I moved to Santa Barbara in 1978 and then about six 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 large garden, small orchard and a great view. And retirement is hopefully 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. I recently finished my latest music project in September 2009 - my third CD.

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.

Irene is teaching 8th grade US History and is contemplating a career in Real Estate (her sister owns a company). I'm rooting for her to make it "Big" so I can kick back and enjoy my Golden Years.

Location: Virginia Beach, VA / Lakeside, MT Updated: 29-Jan-2010 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New? I graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1971 had a 28 year career in the Navy/Navy Reserve flying F-4's and A-4's. I took early retirement from Northwest Airlines in August 2008, and we split our time between our longtime home in Virginia Beach (winter) and our beloved home on the shore of Flathead Lake in Montana. (summer) Mary and I have been married for 38 years. Our oldest son, Dan (USNA '94) and wife, Cheryl, both work for GE Power Systems in Atlanta and are expecting their first child in June 2010. Our middle son, Paul (USNA '97, UCLA MBA '07) is President of Jetpool LLC, an aircraft management company in Charlotte, NC. He and his wife, Nicole, have two daughters, currently 6 and 3. Paul and I had a memorable trip to the Embraer factory in southern Brazil to pick up a client's Phenom 100 executive jet and ferry it to the US. Our youngest son, Mark (UVa '00, Wm & Mary Law '08) and his wife, Meredith, live in Oceanside, CA. Mark is a Marine Corps JAG Officer and is scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan later in 2010. My mom still lives in the same house on Cuesta Drive and has survived a heart attack and a broken hip. She will be 89 in March. Connie F. Sandberg E-mail: cfsan...@c...

I'm facing my daughter, Julia's, senior year of high school. Scary how quickly time passes. Next year, college for her, and the opportunity to find a life for myself that is not circumscribed by Julia's activities! When will we have another reunion? The last one was so much fun! Paul A.

After a couple of years at Foothill J.C., and 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 married, and for the last time I might add, to my true soul mate and Cribbage-playing partner, Katie. 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. I plan to make the 40th reunion. Hoping all is well in your world. Jeffry S.

Like many of you I attended some local colleges (B.A.,M.A.). 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 lived 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 did retire for 8 days to some pasture acreage south of Olympia, Washington. Couldn't sell my Nevada house so am working again in WA. 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! Robert (Bob) O. Shaw E-mail: bobby...@g... Location: Maui Updated: 7-Nov-2007 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New?

Location: Corvallis, Oregon Updated: 17-Jul-2010 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New? A year and a half ago I joined a local Halau (Hula club) in my town, right about the time I was laid off from my job as a marketing communications writer. Our Halau performed at the local Farmers' Market recently on a Saturday morning, and as we danced, I looked out into the sea of faces... and there was Carol Johnson! What a delightful surprise and how amazing that we were both in the same place at the same time AND recognized one another! So, while I'm figuring out the next chapter in my life (since there are no jobs out there), I'm happily married (second time around)... still instructing fitness classes (going on 25 years)... and keeping busy with the joy and challenge of sharing the spirit of Hawaii through Hula.

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. Pete Susie H.

Location: Rocklin, ca Updated: 17-Aug-2002 Tools: modify profile | delete profile What's New? 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! David B. Titus E-mail: dtitu...@s...
