- Barbara Rowland | 9/4/2010 5:36:32 AM
> Thanks Steve, Sounds like they are the ones to get the job done!
- Sue Miller | 9/3/2010 3:41:22 PM
> Sue, to answer your question, I contacted Kathy Van Vleet, Marti Padula, Jo Ann Garcel, MaryKay Phillips & Pam Hardy via e-mail on July 7th. There may be more that want to participate. I think Ray Coccia may want to be on the committee.
- Steve Herron | 9/2/2010 10:39:30 PM
> Miriam; Yea, yea, yea. The postings were a act of kindness as it was known you could not get to where you wanted to be which is at the computer terminal making entries. Glad to hear everything is coming along for you. Keep on gettin' it done.
- James Blake | 9/2/2010 8:49:57 PM
> James, THANKS for the postings,buddy.
- Miriam A. | 9/1/2010 4:09:12 PM
> Hey Guys/Gals: I'M BACK!! Settling in here in Southern Oregon now. Was by necessity, not so much by choice. But I like where I'm at. Next destination: California. Yes, you think I'm nuts. But for whatever reason, while Oregon IS beautiful, it's lost it's enchantment for me. And home is home, good, bad, or indifferent, true? And I have more family down there, than I do here. Yes James; I DO know how to make Chocolate Chip cookies,and so much more...my speciality is muffins and quickbreads, but I don't want to toot my own horn... Anyway; you people are too funny! especially about the Conga Line; I can just see that, wheelchairs-are-us! Myself, I'm now with- cane. I would be one that would hold on to someones wheelchair, or a buddy. Either way, it sounds like fun. Sharon; I know what you mean about certain bodily functions--especially when one sneezes!! HA. Isn't middle-age a hoot? Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend, whatever they are doing. Me, I'll be home with my 2 cats and Cable T.V.!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 9/1/2010 4:06:04 PM
> Steve, May I ask again who is the reuinon committee? I asked you in a personal e-mail and it seems to have gotten 'lost'. Any persons who are designated? Again, i offer my help. Sue Miller
- Susan Miller | 8/30/2010 11:27:05 PM
> Moving past cookie recipes, Has anyone got the mail from Classmates about a Halloween get-together? From a Karen Hardy? Sue
- Susan Miller | 8/30/2010 11:23:58 PM
> Lynda, The reunion committee still has not met. Venues usually will not schedule for coming year class reunions until after the first of the year. I know it doesn't help much, but you're probably looking at August or September and that's just a guess. I wish I had a better answer.
- Steve Herron | 8/30/2010 5:49:12 PM
> Moving away from cookies for the moment...is there any idea what month the reunion is likely to be held in? I will need to start planning soon if I'm coming to the U.S. next year
- Lynda Pearson | 8/29/2010 3:03:38 PM
> Oh I am so proud of you. It brings tears to my eyes. Just use whole wheat flour. Have fun and enjoy.

- James Blake | 8/28/2010 6:02:10 PM
> Okay guys this is the 21st century!!!!! Get the cook book, make them yourslf, and they will be fresh and yummy yummy. I love the cookie monster. Okay now I have to go make brownies,AND THAT'S FROM A BOX!!!!!! PS I am not at the depends point yet thank goodness LOL
- SHARON | 8/28/2010 4:35:33 PM
> Steve, I thought your hair was still red !!!! I guess I was wrong
- Ray Coccia | 8/27/2010 6:21:26 PM
>
- Steve Herron | 8/26/2010 8:32:45 PM
> Very good about the Jail thing Sharon, now macadamia nut cookies are very tasty also, and they travel much better.
- Ray Coccia | 8/26/2010 4:32:22 PM
> OK, OK, OK, Sharon. We understand about the laughter and the wetting of the pants and all, but they do make a thing called " Depends" now for those who are in need of some extra protection and all for that kind of stuff. Now, about the cookies. What about them??? Steve did a good job posting that photo and all, but you never said NO about the cookies yet. Do we need to wait until the re-union and only hope and pray that you might just bring some crumbs with you for us to taste??? It was good to hear that you have never been in jail. I worked in the Military jails for 14 of the 20 years I was on active duty, and they are not a pleasant place to be in, working or residence. So, COOKIES, COOKIES, we need some COOKIES. It seems you have awaken Cookie Monster straight out of Sesame Street. Lets see if Steve has a photo of Cookie Monster at his disposal. Steve - its on you now, mister photo insert extraordinaire.
- James Blake | 8/26/2010 4:19:31 PM
> Oh my goodness, you guys are making me laugh so hard I just about wet my pants, of course at my age that's not hard to do, okay way way too much info. No never been in jail and never met big Martha.LOL.
- Sharon | 8/26/2010 2:55:25 PM
>
- Steve Herron | 8/24/2010 10:31:24 PM
> Sharon; Then we should be expecting a nicely baked batch fairly soon, right??? You know how they are to be done and you do the right thing with lots of chocolate chips. And no, we all know you are not Martha Stewart, as we went to school with you and not her. Besides, Ray is correct about her having been in jail. Jailhouse cookies never do taste as good as home baked ones, especially when they are baked by someone with your knowledge and expertise.
- James Blake | 8/24/2010 7:41:08 PM
> Everyone knows your not Martha , she went to jail. You haven't been to jail,.....have you Sharon ?
- Ray Coccia | 8/24/2010 7:09:05 PM
> HAHAHAHAHAHHEHEHEHE OH YOU GUYS ARE TOO FUNNY. I am as far from being a Martha Stewart as you can get. Get the Better Homes & Garden Cook book follow the recipe and substitute whole wheat flour for the regular flour, I have never had anyone say they didn't like them. I put lots of choco chips in it. Yum Yum
- Sharon | 8/24/2010 6:19:38 PM
> James, you`ve read my mind.
Sharon...oh Sharon...Are you reading this?
- Steve Herron | 8/24/2010 5:32:54 PM
> Steve; Now all we have to do is convince Sharon to start sending out care packages to the less fortunate and/or cooking impaired. Think she will go along with it??? I guess a lot would depend on what kind of cookie those chocolate chips are embedded in.
- James Blake | 8/24/2010 4:08:10 PM
> Actually James, you're right. A fresh, out of the oven, homemade chocolate chip cookie absolutely trumps a slice of watermelon.
- Steve Herron | 8/23/2010 11:38:57 PM
> What a man, what a man. Watermelon is good, especially on these hot, humid and sweltering days, but Steve, homemade chocolate chip cookies, who could pass those up??? Although the magic of the internet is at our finger tips, it still doe not replace the feeling and taste of the fresh, homemade, hot out of the oven cookies. Thanks for the thought though. I know it was not meant to torture me or us cooking impaired individuals.
- James Blake | 8/22/2010 9:19:24 PM
> Through the magic of the Internet, James, your wish has come true.
As for me, considering the temperature, I`ll take watermelon.
- Steve Herron | 8/22/2010 8:39:23 PM
> Steve - I think us cooking impaired folks just got teased with some home made chocolate chip cookies, and as administrator of this site you need to leap into action. Should not we be made privy to some of those nicely baked, fresh, tasty morsels??? Sharon - You are probably correct in your description of how they taste, the yum-yum was a nice touch. As for Miriam, she is just getting settled into as new place up in Oregon and after the dust settles I am sure she will be back on the site, of course, I do not know if she knows how to make chocolate chip cookies, but we all know someone who does, do we not??? Hope all is well with those who read these words and that we all have nicer, more cooling weather coming. It has been hotter than you know what here in Lincoln over the past couple of weeks.
- James Blake | 8/22/2010 1:22:33 PM
> Oh finally people are back, I figured everyone was vacationing. I was wondering about Miriam, glad she is settling in. Steve I love the congo dancers. Gosh it is a hot one today. Cannot complain we have had a very mild summer up until now. Hope everyone out there is doing fine. Going to make chocolate chip cookies now, yum yum.
- Sharon Mitchell | 8/22/2010 10:22:20 AM
> Good timing Steve. I was wondering if all had fallen asleep or if things had been switched around to another site or something. You use your administrator skills well. UPDATE: Miriam will be back with us all in a while. She is settling into a new place in Oregon and once settled, will get back with it on this site. Things are going well for her and she seems to have weathered whatever storm came her way. She'll be back soon enough.
- James Blake | 8/22/2010 7:35:55 AM
>
Sorry! The conversation kinda went dead so I couldn`t help myself.
- Steve Herron | 8/21/2010 11:02:51 PM
> Now THAT would be funny. It wouldn't be the first time a lot of us have fallen on the floor at a party
- Ray Coccia | 8/8/2010 8:16:48 PM
> Oh I see no problem with a wheelchair in the congo line, it would also give someone who needs a little help something to hang on to. Canes/walkers would also work just fine. of course we might want to be careful of falls other wise it could turn into dominoes
- SHARON | 8/8/2010 7:51:11 PM
> Ray/Steve - Stop the insanity!!! We are still young and full of that stuff that comes from the bladder and vinegar compared to those in their 80's and beyond. Of course we may need an EMS unit standing by if we decide to do the conga line around the hotel or wherever the re-union is to be held. Of course that would all depend on how long the line is and how far we are going to go with it. Age is all a state of mind and sometimes we drift into a state that no age can recognize or comprehend, yet, it is still a state of mind. It is not how long we have walked this earth as much as it is what we have done while we have walked this earth. I wonder how well a wheelchair for those OLDER classmates would fit into the conga line. Maybe Sharon has knowledge of that and how it would all be worked out.
- James Blake | 8/8/2010 5:38:34 PM
> Not for me, for those OLD class members. I'm just a bit older than my son, so I'm OK
- Ray Coccia | 8/5/2010 5:10:53 PM
> Oh very, very cute Steve!!!giggle, giggle. Anyway my performing days are over I retired after 35 years of doing luaus. I take the class for exercise and hey I do love the idea of a Tahitian Congo line. LOL
- Sharon | 8/5/2010 3:12:10 PM
> Don't worry Ray, we'll have a defibrillator there for you. Just in case.
- Steve Herron | 8/4/2010 10:26:17 PM
> It might be fatal, I mean for the older classmates
- Ray Coccia | 8/4/2010 4:35:58 PM
> Sharon; Does this mean you will be providing the entertainment at the re-union next year. Polynesian dancing can be tricky. Steve; Any way Sharon can be worked into the schedule of events for the re-union??? Who knows - maybe we can get a Polynesian conga line going and dance throughout the hotel or wherever we are having it (hint, hint). Might be fun.
- James Blake | 8/4/2010 3:56:15 AM
>
| I went to my dance class Thursday (polynesian) and I can still keep up with the teenagers. Okay soooo I need help getting out of the car by the time I get home. Yup sometimes little pains just show up out of nowhere. I call it olditis. |  |
- Sharon Mitchell | 7/31/2010 3:58:05 PM
> Lynda, I'm told it's just a number and that these aches and pains and bodily deterioration is just my imagination. What an imagination I must have! And the 's' word or should I say words, get over it, they're going to be around for a couple of decades.
- Steve Herron | 7/30/2010 9:14:33 PM
> OK Steve, you should know that we NEVER mention the 's' word. I just refuse to be that old! I'm going backwards next birthday.
- Lynda Pearson | 7/30/2010 11:45:45 AM
> It's worse when your grandkids are closer to 30 that you are.
- Ray Coccia | 7/29/2010 4:55:20 PM
> In a few years Sharon six, six, sixty will catch in your throat.
- Steve Herron | 7/29/2010 12:40:31 AM
> Thank you very much. I will be 47 Friday. Oh darn, that's right I can't lie to you guys. it's fif, fif, um fif oh you know what it is. LOL. and the song was just lovely.
- Sharon | 7/28/2010 6:14:19 PM
> Sounded pretty good from here James.
- Steve Herron | 7/27/2010 10:45:22 PM
> Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Shaaaaroooon, happy birthday to you. I have not sung that song in a while so I might have been a bit off key and tempo. Hope your day is filled with joy and laughter, but most of all that you enjoy it. We only turn (how old) once, so we need to make the most of it. Happy birthday Sharon.
- James Blake | 7/27/2010 9:22:43 PM

- Steve Herron | 7/27/2010 8:40:23 PM
> Hello. Friday is my Birthday!!!!!!! YES I want songs and happy birthday wishes I'm old and I can be blunt and to the point. LOL.
- Sharon A. Mitchell Carbaugh | 7/27/2010 6:50:23 PM
> Thanks Sharon and Mike for the update. I always thought Tony would keep up with the drama. My daughter's name is Michaela,named after her father who is also a Mike. He's also in a band as a hobby. That and golf keeps him out of trouble since he retired from the BBC. Mike is Scottish, born about 20 miles north of Glasgow in a place called Helensburgh. He doesn't have a problem with the English but then he's lived 'down south' a long time. I'll tell Terri you said 'hello', Mike. I need to email her about coming to the reunion next year It would be great to catch up in person. Thanks for all the news guys, great to hear from everone!

- Sharon Mitchel | 7/13/2010 5:52:05 PM
> Hey Michael Taelour, what have you been up to since those 10 year reunion pictures were taken (you and I are on page 14, I believe)? I left California in 1988 and moved to England after I got married. I'm still in touch with Terri Knight but haven't heard anything about Tony Webb for 30 years. Catch me up with what you've been doing!

> Hey ya'll! What's up with the 40th (oh my) reunion? I know it's still a year away, but since I live on the east coast I need to plan early (time off, tickets, etc.) I am hopefully starting a new job with the State of Florida soon. I don't know how easy it will be to get time off. I don't get a vacation for 1 yr. so, hopefully, the reunion will fall after that year is up. If you are looking for a place to have it, my sister Janie has LOTS of connections. There is a theater/dinner house on Sierra just above Arrow that is really nice. They do a lot of functions there. It's next to the new library. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Live, Love, Laugh, Ride

It will be my first ride in quite some time. Planning on riding to Ormond Beach & Daytona Beach on Sunday. Only about 20 miles from property. We always have a hugh 4th of July party.

> Hey; I've got you all beat; I lived out in south Fontana; grapevines grew in our yard; and we had a corner lot; with the whole north corner bordered by a windbreak of Eucalyptus trees. We also had all the Jurupa Hills practically in our back yard to climb around!! Yeah; those were the days. Of course--the down side, was that we had no street lights, no curbs, nothing around except Water's Country Store. But it was so quiet we could hear the coyotes at night!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 6/2/2010 11:37:57 AM
> How is Barbara Rowland? I have nothad use of a computer until today. I hope all is well with her. i also would like to thank my classmates for the birthday wishes.It is hard to believe I am 57.Where did the time go. Mary Kay
- mary kay bell | 5/30/2010 8:58:15 AM
> Steve Pergin, Thank you so very much for the info on Dawn. I've been looking for her for over 40 yrs. I have heard so many awful stories about what had happened to her, but never gave up my search. Reuniting with her is a wonderful way to help celebrate our 40th class reunion. Again, thank you.

> Sharon, I remember sitting in the field behind your house, it was the field behind my house. Some times, from our house it looked like the sparks from the scarfing yard were landing on your house. Our address was 14616 Randall, a shack in comparison to the rest on the block apparently only one of the two still standing in the whole block other than the ones on the dirt road by the truck yard. Sorry for pulling your hair. Young boys do dumb things to get cute girls' attention.

- ed habecker | 5/29/2010 9:35:00 AM
> The field behind our house on Juniper used to be an abandon grape vineyard and was surrounded by those huge wind-break eucalyptus trees. We used to spend a lot of time playing in or near those trees. We'd chase rabbits, hunt for lizards and eat the grapes. Yep, a lot of fun.
- Steve Herron | 5/26/2010 4:40:58 PM
> I lived/grew up across the street from what is now the Raceway, 2nd house (no longer there) on Randall. I can't believe how spread out Fontana is now. Had lots of fun playing in the field next to and behind our house. Ahhhh the good old days.
- Sharon Mitchell | 5/25/2010 6:29:17 PM
> James; when you were there last, had they put in the huge Raceway at the old Kaiser Steel plantsite yet?
- Miriam A. | 5/25/2010 3:59:33 PM
> Hey, did anyone ever frame their Class picture?
- Miriam A. | 5/25/2010 3:32:47 PM
> James my buddy; If you ever decide to go back and visit the Fontana area, I would be more than happy to be your personal tour guide!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 5/25/2010 3:31:48 PM
> Steve; It seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same. We only had one high school and for the most part loved it, but what, they have four or five now. I have not been in Fontana since 1999, I can only imagine the changes. I might get lost if I ever went back.
- James Blake | 5/24/2010 7:43:09 PM
> I do believe our graduating was the largest, so far, at that time. Don't quote me on this, but I believe the total was around 775. By the way, for you guys that went to Jurupa Hills Elementary School, there is a brand new big high school across the street where the grape vines used to be. Jurupa Hills High School. Jurupa Hills Elementary is now the Fontana Adult School.
- Steve Herron | 5/24/2010 7:31:41 PM
> Hey Steve; How large was our graduating class? Weren't we the largest in Fohi history?
- Miriam Appelbaum | 5/24/2010 3:11:38 PM

- Steve Pergin | 5/20/2010 6:56:22 AM
> Miriam, yes I got your email. I thought I replied but maybe I didn't. I've been a little busy. As far as locations for the reunion, the committee hasn't convened so I don't know where we are as to a location. I'm dragging my feet on the whole subject of a reunion, but it will happen.
- Steve Herron | 5/17/2010 10:05:14 PM

> Can anyone tell me what happened to Dawn Morrison. I see that she is in the senior pictures, and she is not listed in 'Gone,...', so please...would love to hear from her or someone that knows what happened to her? Thank you.
- Cindy Fagan | 5/17/2010 1:46:27 PM
> Hey all, HAPPY SUMMER! We finally have weather here in Salem, OR that will qualify. Love living here but sometimes it's nice seeing the sun again. So, are we having a 40th reunion or not? I would love to know and help anyway that I can. Steve, thanks for the laughs and memories with pics & stories.
- Cindy Fagan | 5/15/2010 11:02:06 AM
> Barbara; Funny you mentioned Portland and Salem OR: I just moved out of Salem, back down to the Oregon coast--Coos Bay to be exact. But if you decide to get over to the coast by then, I would love to meet with you also!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 5/10/2010 3:50:45 PM

- Barbara Rowland | 5/8/2010 11:35:49 AM
> It appears that my test results may have gotten mixed up at the lab. I am having another biopsy on Wed. My last results came back negative. If this one does, it means a repair job instead of major surgery. Don't know if it was an error or if it was all the prayers. But, I am thankful to all of you. Looking forward to reunion next year. Thank you all for your prayers & positive thoughts for me. Live, Love, Laugh
- Barbara Rowland | 5/8/2010 11:32:38 AM
> Barbara; I don't know you, but I wish you good luck with your surgery. Keep the faith!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 5/6/2010 4:03:11 PM
> Barbara, prayer does help and you're in good hands.
- Steve Herron | 5/5/2010 2:51:25 PM
> Having new lab work done today. Last ones conflict with previous one. Maybe all the prayers have helped. I just want to know what's really going on. Again, thank you. Live, Love, Laugh
- Barbara Rowland | 5/5/2010 9:03:42 AM
> Hey Guys; I'm back! Seems I've gone full circle; I'm back at the Oregon coast, but not at the ocean's edge this time., I'm at the bay. I love it more. I feel like I've been on a 6 month roller-coaster, and just got off, still reeling. But I'm alive, and working on staying well!! Ginny; I sent you a snail-mail a couple or so months ago, but I never received yours. Hope all is well for everyone; and THANKS James, for your most informative updates for/about me. What a guy!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 5/4/2010 4:08:26 PM
> To all who can read - I just got a call from Miriam and she is now officially living in Coos Bay, Oregon. She will be back on the site soon enough and no telling what she will have to say. She is doing well and looking forward to sparing with you Steve, and maybe even Ray. More later but it will probably be from her.
- James Blake | 5/2/2010 5:02:25 PM
> Barbara you will be in my prayers, When it's time for the surgery THINK POSITIVE!!!
- Sharon Mitchell | 4/30/2010 5:33:13 PM
> Thank you. I know all will be fine. I'm just a little freaked out right now. It may not happen week after all. But, it will be soon.
- Barbara Rowland | 4/30/2010 10:15:36 AM

- Ray Coccia | 4/28/2010 8:51:53 PM
> Hey Ya'll. I don't usually ask for anything from anyone but... I am asking for prayers from anyone & everyone. Going into surgery next week & I need all the prayers I can get. If all goes well, I will be in touch. If not, I will see ya'll on the other side of life. Thank you for all the memories I have & God Bless each & every one of you. Live, Love, Laugh
- Barbara Rowland | 4/28/2010 3:04:45 PM
> I have that picture in my photo album. That is Laurie Kerr. We were Browines together & my mom was our leader.
- Barbara Rowland | 4/26/2010 4:14:55 PM
> OK, I took care of Cindy Ham. but who's that sweetie in the same photo, 3rd row, far right?
- Steve Herron | 4/25/2010 5:39:36 PM
> Hi guys - Ok - I've got one. The girl above David Goss in Mr. Boldt's 5th grade class at West Randall is Cindy Ham. The girl Judy is talking about looks really familiar to me, too, but can't remember her name. I know it's not Laurie Kerr though!
- Ginny (Dianasic) Buse | 4/24/2010 10:35:04 AM
> WOW! I really feel the girl is a "Laurie". Now I feel tired too, Ray. Steve, let me know what Laurie Kerr says-she may know the girl and I'm dying to find out who it is now.
- Judy (Tague) Curwick | 4/23/2010 10:21:22 PM
> That's OK Judy,I jog my memory all the time, and all I get is tired.
- Ray Coccia | 4/23/2010 9:04:22 PM
> Judy, I've tried to contact Laurie through Facebook but nothing yet. She's the Director of Early Childhood Education at Fontana Schools and she has a posting there about teachers that inspired her. The following is one of her quotes, "Mr. Lewis Edwards (my 6th grade Teacher) inspired me to have a life long love of writing." Mr Edwards was one of the sixth grade teachers at Randall-Pepper.
- Steve Herron | 4/22/2010 9:25:39 PM
> Steve, I do think that is Laurie Kerr. I checked out the pic of L.K. at Randall-Pepper. Yep...her. Where did you hear Laurie went to Randall-Pepper for sixth?
- Judy (Tague) Curwick | 4/19/2010 8:12:02 PM
> Judy, good try, but Laurie Kerr went to Randall-Pepper through the sixth grade. The girl you're talking about looks really familiar to me, but I can't place the name.
- Steve Herron | 4/19/2010 12:17:31 PM
> Seems I jogged my own memory! Laurie's last name is Kerr. I believe she was at a different school the previous year. Man, getting old sucks in some ways...
- Judy (Tague) Curwick | 4/18/2010 11:11:48 PM
> Steve, The girl pictured next to Don Stroshine in Mr. Howard's 6th grade class at West Randall is Laurie. I cannot remember her last name yet, however, I hope the mention of her first name will jog someone's memory a little. BTW, glad to see you're on facebook so I can try to keep in touch a little better. I visit there often as my grandchildren frequent that site. (I will try to remember Laurie's last name)
- Judy (Tague) Curwick | 4/18/2010 10:59:34 PM
> Kathy, I made the changes you had. Let me know if you have anymore. Thanks!
- Steve Herron | 4/12/2010 11:57:46 PM
> Kathy, You're going to blow a gasket thinking so hard. Thanks. I'll make the corrections soon.

- kathy clifford | 4/8/2010 9:09:29 PM
> Hey Miriam good to see you are back on line. Coos Bay very nice. I believe my hubby and I passed by there years ago on a drive vacation.or maybe it was somewhere else. Doesn't matter all Wash. Oregon Coast is pretty and California. Well any coast is pretty to me. I just like coastal places, okay I am just rambling.
- Sharon Mitchell | 4/8/2010 3:51:44 PM
> I have a few suggestions !!!!
- Ray Coccia | 4/7/2010 7:30:25 PM
> Hey Miriam, good to see you on here. Bring it on? What are you going to do for your next fiasco? :)
- Steve Herron | 4/7/2010 11:46:38 AM
> Hey Guys; HAPPY SPRING!!!! I'm still among the living, as you know... thanks to my buddy James B. Sure have missed being able to get back onto the site. How's everyone been? Have a nice Easter, Passover, etc.?? Still here in Salem, OR. Waiting to move down to Coos Bay shortly, which may be temporary; time will tell. So...Steve, what's up? bring it on, HA HA!! Later, ya'll.......
- Miriam Appelbaum | 4/6/2010 2:46:53 PM
> Thanks Steve that will be fun to help out.
- mary kay | 4/5/2010 3:54:53 PM
> OK, I guess I'll have to wait to pick on her. In the meantime I'll pick on Mary Kay. Mary Kay? You're on the list to help with the reunion.
- Steve Herron | 4/5/2010 11:37:31 AM
> Steve; Miriam should be back with us shortly and knowing her she will have plenty to say. She has been kept up on all the entries on the message board so she is well informed. It will probably be like she never left.
- James Blake | 4/4/2010 8:10:57 PM
> Happy Easter to all. I can not believe that 40 years have almost passed since we graduated.If you need any help with the reunion let me know.Mary Kay
- Mary Kay Bell(phillips) | 4/4/2010 6:53:10 PM
> Well James, tell Miriam to hurry up and get back on here so we can pick on her.
- Steve Herron | 4/4/2010 2:16:23 PM
> To all who can read - I just talked with Miriam on the phone and she is doing well and getting ready to move to the coast of Oregon. She wanted me to tell everyone for her to have a happy and safe holiday and that she hopes all is well with everyone. More updates as they come in.
- James Blake | 4/1/2010 9:42:40 PM
> Actually Baity. Thanks Kathy. More to come soon!
- Steve Herron | 3/31/2010 2:56:35 PM
> I made a mistake in Joette's name I believe her last name is Beatty. She was my neighbor 1 of the (Sewell Court Cuties). She was only at Randall-Pepper for 1 year then she went to St. Joe's. private school. Sorry about that. Kathy Clifford
- kathy clifford | 3/31/2010 1:40:34 AM
> In reguards to Randall-Pepper 1st Grade Room 5, I believe on my Left her name is Debbie Wyatt and to my Right is Joette Beaty and to her Right is Margie Blackwell. Hope I am Right. Kathy Clifford
- Kathy Cross Clifford | 3/31/2010 1:13:07 AM
> Sharon - Everyday is a reminder or so it seems and I understand about the mind and body thing, as long as the heart stays fresh and vibrant. Steve - Nice shot about the invite, and yes, there seems to be plenty of time, at least for now. I hope all is well with everyone and hope that if it is not that all will be worked out for the best.
- James Blake | 3/25/2010 8:28:44 PM
> Jeepers!!! James, must we be reminded as to how old we are getting.LOL. My mind is not old, but the body tells me differetly.
- Sharon Mitchell Carbaugh | 3/25/2010 3:41:22 PM
> James, didn't you receive your invitation yet? Oh my! They were mailed out a couple of months ago! Just kidding :) We(me) are slow at starting this thing, but there's plenty of time.
- Steve Herron | 3/25/2010 3:08:11 PM
> Mary Kay - What re-union??? Is there one planned or in the works??? I know Steve has asked for some input and has gotten some, but am I missing out on something??? 2011 is coming up and it would be nice to have one as it might well be the last one for some of us, not looking at the doom and gloom of aging or anything, just realistic. It would be nice to have one either 2011 or if necessary - 2012 with another class. Lets hope it is 2011 - just for us this time. Steve - Any input here???
- James Blake | 3/25/2010 2:49:37 PM
> Hello to all. I am excited about the class reunion. It is hard to believe almost 40 years since we graduated.If there is anything I can do to help let me know. Marykay

> Hi to Mariam. Coos Bay a very lovely area. Glad she is over her virus. There has been some nasty stuff out there lately. I am still trying to get over a cough that comes and goes for the last month. Hi to all.
- Sharon Mitchell | 3/21/2010 3:25:22 PM
> To all who can read - I just talked with Miriam on the phone and she said to let everyone know she is doing fine. She is over her virus thing and doing better than she was. She is going to be moving to Coos Bay (on the coast of Oregon) in about a month. She said to say Hi to everyone so - Hi. That is all for now. More updates as they come in.
- James Blake | 3/20/2010 7:26:01 PM
> Thanks to Kathy Cross-Clifford, we have a new photo of our class as 1st graders. Please help me name those who do not have names. Please see "Randall-Pepper Room #5" in the 1st graders section.
- Steve Herron | 3/19/2010 11:20:21 AM
> I just got back from from visiting my sister in Fontana. Wow! I can't beleive how Sierra Ave. has changed. Went to dinner & a musical at the old Pussycat Theater on Sierra just above Arrow. Who would have thought that Fontana would have a theater like that. Saw the new library. Love the fountains & the tiles with in Memory names on them. My parents both have a tile. It's beautiful. Sierra Ave. with 4 lanes! My how times change.
- Barbara Rowland | 3/12/2010 7:08:45 PM
> Ahhh thank you Ray, you made my day.Yup 2001. The lights were dim so that helped a lot.
- Sharon Mitchell | 2/26/2010 4:31:57 PM
> Everyone is right,I'd much rather see Sharon than Steve. The last time I saw Sharon ( 2001? ) she didn't look much different
- Ray Coccia | 2/25/2010 6:59:31 PM
> There he is. You know, that is one of the things that I truly missed out on in High School, and that was my senior pictures. I guess I was busy at the time or doing something more important. Who knew. It sure did not seem important then but looking back, boy, sure could have enjoyed them over the years. Thank goodness we do not have before and after shots, hey.
- James Blake | 2/25/2010 1:20:03 AM
> By request...
"The Cover Boy"
Confusion is part of my daily routine, but I just figured you`d rather see Sharon than me. I know I would.
- Steve Herron | 2/25/2010 12:09:39 AM
> Wait a minute - Whatever happened to Steve posting his picture like Ray suggested. This is a really nice picture of you Sharon but we really expected the cover boy to post his. Maybe he got confused, could that be it Steve??? Age catches up with all of us from time to time.
- James Blake | 2/24/2010 10:21:32 PM
> Oh nooooo!!!! Wow what happened? Hey I was actually young at one time LOL.
- sharon mitchell | 2/23/2010 7:47:47 PM
> This one?
- Steve Herron | 2/22/2010 12:47:27 PM
> Okay that sounds fun.
- Sharon Mitchell | 2/21/2010 5:06:44 PM
> If you need a REAL laugh, have Steve post his picture.
- Ray Coccia | 2/21/2010 4:20:22 PM
> Thanks guys - I got a great laugh that I really needed!!!
- Ginny Buse | 2/21/2010 1:49:55 PM
> Mine is still brown......kind of
- Ray Coccia | 2/20/2010 6:03:30 PM
> Ain't red no more!
- Steve Herron | 2/20/2010 12:37:54 PM
> Spoken like a true red head, and an UGLY one to boot.
- Ray Coccia | 2/20/2010 11:47:19 AM
> Sharon take care of yourself and get rid of that cold. Ray and I have jokingly picked on each other since the 10th grade. We've had a lot of fun doing it. Of course being as ugly as he is, makes him an easy target.
- Steve Herron | 2/19/2010 5:20:56 PM
> LOL, You guys are getting really silly. It makes me laugh and then I start coughing because I still have this stupid cold!!!!! But that's okay.
- sharon mitchell | 2/18/2010 7:54:15 PM
> You know what they say about a picture...
- Steve Herron | 2/18/2010 12:26:38 PM
> Is that the same picture from the year book? I thought it looked familiar
- Ray Coccia | 2/17/2010 6:47:46 PM
> Hi Mary Kay. Well, for me, I'm fine and looking forward to Spring.
- Steve Herron | 2/16/2010 9:05:54 PM
> Hello all have use of a computer today so I stopped to see how everyone was. Mary Kay
- mary kay bell | 2/16/2010 1:08:50 PM
> Cute Steve, real cute. Do you have any knowledge of where a yearbook can be acquired. Would the school still have any left over or would they have been cast out???. Any idea who would be contacted if they would have any??? Like I said in the previous message, I did not get one. Any info will be helpful. Thanks.
- James Blake | 2/15/2010 2:23:57 PM
>
Alfred E. Neuman is a handsome guy too.
- Steve Herron | 2/15/2010 12:43:35 PM
> Hey Steve; I looked at that section on the teachers and it is nicely done. I do not know about the year book as I never got one but was always under the impression that the cover was modeled after the cover of Mad Magazine. Are you now telling me that I have been under a misconception all these years and did not even know it??? Have a blessed day, all.
- James Blake | 2/14/2010 1:13:13 PM
> Wow, how cool is that? Getting to hear from Ginny, Sharon, Miriam and James and all in a short period of time. Hi Guys!
- Steve Herron | 2/14/2010 12:20:03 PM
> I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I have removed the teachers from the "Gone, But Not Forgotten" page and added an "Our Teachers" page which includes ALL the teachers and counselors from our senior yearbook, you know the green book with the picture of the really handsome guy in the front. :)
- Steve Herron | 2/12/2010 2:58:40 PM
> Wow - Thanks guys! Wasn't sure anyone would be able to fill me in- and I was surprised at the response! This is great being able to keep in touch.
- Ginny Buse | 2/12/2010 1:10:14 PM
> Wow how weird I just popped on to ask about Miriam and here is my answer. Glad you are getting better. I'm down with another stupid cold. Hope eveyone is doing well this winter. Lots of rain, I don't like the rain, but I know we do need it here in California.
- Sharon Mitchell Carbaugh | 2/11/2010 6:36:29 PM
> Hey guys; I'm very much alive, but not kicking too high yet. Thanks for your concern. Thanks James, too for the great update. I've been down with a virus since December 17; and I'm just barely feeling human enough to get out and about; even though it took me 3 buses to get here!! Hope everyone is well, and had a good holiday, etc. It feels great to be able to get back on here. Talk attcha soon.
- Miriam Appelbaum | 2/11/2010 5:40:25 PM
> Ginny, Steve and all who read this - Miriam, was fine and getting over a mild/temporary illness the last time we spoke on the phone, which was about 3-4 weeks ago. She is still settling back into Oregon. It is taking some turns that were not anticipated, yet, she is or at least was holding strong. She should be back on this site soon enough and we will all have the pleasure of conversing with her again. I will e-mail her after this is posted and if anything is different than what has been stated above I will post it. I will let her know about the concern which I am sure will bring a smile to her face.
- James Blake | 2/10/2010 8:52:39 PM
> I've been wondering the same thing myself about Miriam. Kind of unusual not to hear from her. It's good to hear from Barbara and Mary Kay though. I hope everyone in OK.
- Steve Herron | 2/10/2010 1:40:26 PM
> Hi guys - has anyone heard from Miriam?? Haven't heard from her in a couple of months, which is really unusual. Even sent her a letter by snail-mail; nothing. Just hoping she's ok.

I could have him mixed up with someone else. Other than that I don't know anything about him. If I don't get back here Merry Christmas Everyone that celebrates it.

> Lynda, and everyone. Sue Miller's email through Classmates.Com was an attempt to inform everyone that we are kicking around some ideas and to put everyone on notice that we are talking "40 Year Reunion." The dates in the email were only a stab at when the reunion MIGHT be, since in order to post that kind of thing on Classmates you must give a date. NOTHING is set in stone. The reunion committee has not met yet. I promise, if you have given your email address to me, you will be kept informed. Please let everyone you know from our class to visit this web site and leave their contact information through the "Contact Us/Comments" page.
- Steve Herron | 11/18/2009 5:25:20 PM

- Steve Herron | 9/18/2009 1:15:14 PM
> Sharon; In response to your question about Miriam - I just got off the phone with her and she is doing fine. She said it was alright with her if I updated our class on her so here it is - She should be leaving Oregon by next week headed for Oklahoma, if all goes well. It will take her some time to get settled then she should be back with us. Lynda; Scotland and the UK as a whole is beautiful. I lived in South/Central Scotland for about 9 months in the latter part of 2005 and first few months of 2006. A little place named Jedbrough about 10 miles north of the border with England on the main highway from England going into to Scotland. Nice, very nice. You are blessed indeed having the opportunity to live there even if the cost of living is a bit different. I would take a Scottish winter over any of the Nebraska winters that I have experienced.
- James Blake | 9/15/2009 1:18:31 PM
> Lynda,I can imagine air is quite expenseive to come all the way to California. We have gone to the South Pacific a few times and Yikes,air is a huge cost of the vacation.I tell my husband it is sad the biggest cost is the boring long tedious flight to get somewhere. Has anyone heard from Mariam, has she left to go to Oklahoma or was it Kansas?
- Sharon Mitchell | 9/14/2009 6:07:00 PM
> Hi Sharon! We try and come back every few years but air travel is getting very expensive. Last time we came was 2006. This year we went to Italy. You'll love it. Never been to Croatia but we've been to most of western Europe. The distances are so small here it's like travelling from state to state in the US. You can get to Paris in a couple of hours on the train!
- Lynda Pearson | 9/14/2009 1:18:29 PM
> Lynda that is a long time. Do you travel back to the US much? I have never been to England or Europe. We hope to take a trip to Croatia and perhaps Italy in the next couple years. Well everyone! hopefully fall will be in the air soon. The older I get the more I hate the heat.
- SHARON MITCHELL | 9/4/2009 5:44:26 PM
> I'd appreciate the heat but not the smoke. Hope you're all OK. They never give us exact details on the news abouts the fires locations. I've lived in England for 21 years. My husband is Scottish and I moved here after our wedding in Burbank. We live about 16 miles north of London.
- Lynda Pearson | 9/3/2009 4:45:18 AM

- marykay bell(phillips) | 9/2/2009 9:24:08 AM
> Lynda, sure, I'll send some of this heat. Can you use some smoke too?
- Steve Herron | 9/1/2009 11:23:33 PM
> Hey Lynda, Yes I will send you some of this hot yucky weather, perhaps combined with your weather there, it will seem spring like. How long have you lived in England?
- Sharon Mitchell | 8/30/2009 2:46:34 PM
> Can you guys send some of that summer heat over to England? We've been cheated out of our summer again and everone's fed up with gray and rainy. I'd even take melting for a week or so. The only real sun I've seen this summer was our holiday in Italy. Now that was hot!
- Lynda Pearson | 8/30/2009 7:44:56 AM
> Yup summer heat, actually until this week it has been nice this August. Had a 60th Birthday party for my Hubby a couple weeks ago and thank goodness it was a fairly nice day so people were able to go outside without melting. Anyway hello to everyone. Sharon

He's well; living in Upland, CA. Working 2-3 jobs, has a garage band, and keeps busy. You wouldn't even recognize him! Mary K; I remember you well. How are you? Bill Kezar; Talked to Pete this morning, and he kind-of chuckled because his brother Tom also works in the S. Cal. Correctional System, for about 22 years; and is due to retire soon, also. He works in the Tehachapi one. His nephew also works in the system, not sure where tho. Pete is also an outdoorsman as you are. Anyway; he said to give you his phone #: it is;(918)457-4141 Always glad to be of help!

She asked me to post this and let everyone know that she had been down with an inner ear infection for about a week and a half and should be back sometime within the next 5-7 days. Keep her in your prayers. She is still in Oregon to.

My thoughts and prayers are with her husband Craig and their family. Craig and Margo were married for 29 years. This special lady will be missed by many.

> You know, I don't think I've ever actually driven by the raceway since its completion. I went by while it was under construction. Just another page in the Fontana History Book. I see Kaiser Hospital is tearing down the old buildings for new.
- Steve Herron | 7/22/2009 10:16:45 PM
> Yes it is very weird to see the raceway there, I grew up in the 2nd to last house on Randall close to Cherry Avenue. The house is no longer there. Steve thank you for the kind words, you were always a nice guy. Is cool weather coming? I'm tired of the heat!!!!!
- Sharon Mitchell Carbaugh | 7/21/2009 7:42:36 PM
> Steve--doesn't it feel weird to see the raceway where Kaiser Steel was, when you go down to Fontana? I saw it once, and I was awestruck!!

> Hey Steve, yes those days when I was an out of control hormonal PMSing teenager. I wonder how Bruce put up with me for as long as he did. A very patient young man back then. Anyway I started calming down at about 30. Okay way too much information. Mariam, that sounds exciting hope things work out for you.

> Michael Jackson was a very talented individual. He sure made an impact on music. His overall story is very tragic and his sudden death seems to be the way these talented people go. As for the 4th of July, very quiet here. No fireworks, no noise, just peace.

- Steve Herron | 6/26/2009 5:34:02 PM
> Hey Steve; Just out of curiosity, I was reading a book about the Donner Party, and they mentioned a man named Walter Herron. Do you think that he's a relative to you?

> Miriam; What's up with you. All of us here in Nebraska are having a ball. The street people are doing well or as well as can be expected. Good things are happening and many positive things going on. Life is being abundantly blessed and keeping one foot in front of the other, no side stepping. Hope and pray that all is well with you.

You know, I still picture everyone looking like they did in high-school. Doesn't going on facebook open you up to more computer virus? Okay don't laugh, I'm truly a computer dummy.

Cars buried, several-ft.-high drifts, etc. Around Flagstaff, Arizona, especially! Caroline; the snow-cone sales were usally on a Friday at Sequoia, if memory serves right.

- Miriam Appelbaum | 3/16/2009 3:55:24 PM
> Hi all - Dave and I have 7 and half grandchildren. (His daughter is due later this year). My oldest grandson is 15, and the others range from 9 down to 2. Only 3 of them live near us. Grandkids are great! I can get even with my kids by sending the kids home with chocolate, etc. Ha!
- Ginny Buse | 3/15/2009 11:24:48 AM
> I have 5 all together. My daughter has a son 9 and daughter 2 1/2. I see them the most. My son has 2 boys 11& 9 that live with their mother in New Mexico and a daughter 4 that lives with her mother in Illinois.. (he was married twice)I dont see my sons kids much. I do hear from them alot though. Ray babies are so precious when they are that small.its when they are older.. yikes..LOL.. and Sharon congrats to you and the family...
- Caroline | 3/14/2009 11:57:58 PM
> I'm the same age as the rest of you, and I'm sitting here with my second grandson. He;s SOOOOOO cute, and he's smiles at me. Noah is 10 weeks old today, and Augie is going to be 5 next month. Kinda scarry that I'm a grandfather, eh?
- Ray Coccia | 3/14/2009 9:09:36 PM
> Grandkids, jeepers, We started late, so no grandkids, hopefully not for awhile yet. Our daughter is getting married in April. Yikes, I am not ready for this, she is just 22. Oh well I knew the day she was born someone would eventually take her, okay okay, I am not losing a daughter but gaining a son. yeah yeah, oh well he is a nice guy.
- Sharon Mitchell | 3/14/2009 6:40:42 PM
> Steve forget what I wrote previously.. I checked Facebook awhile ago and I found a section of Fohi classmates listed under 1971 (I had to enter it though) ..............Wash my mouth out with soap. I think I need it at times.LOL Specially when I'm around my grandkids. Oops grammie seriously I need to watch that.. LOL......
- Caroline | 3/13/2009 11:30:28 PM
> Hi Steve What if you did it like CLASS of Nineteen seventy one..
- Caroline | 3/13/2009 7:25:00 PM
> No we don't have a Facebook site. I was looking into it and it looks like they don't accept numbers like "1971" just names. I signed up under my name but was unable to register "Fontana High School Class of 1971". And yes Caroline, you can say anything you want here and I won't wash your mouth out with soap.
- Steve Herron | 3/13/2009 4:45:22 PM
> Miriam: It was a ghost story that Ginny was reading on line that was about Sequoia.. Seems like alot of schools have a ghost story on that site.... I think if Mapquest is right??? Eureka will be about a 4 hour drive to the Oregon border... I was just curious as to how far you were from there. Hi Everyone how are you all doing??? Have a great rest of the week and a great week end.. BTW Steve does our class have a facebook site?? can I say that here??? sorry if i can't :)
- Caroline Carpenter Rigsby | 3/12/2009 6:19:07 PM
> Yes, my mom use to threaten me with soap washing, but I made sure I never used nasty language around her, she was a very sweet lady. She also use to keep a orange tree branch handy, but she never used it on me, Ah the good old days when life was simple.
- Sharon Mitchell | 3/9/2009 6:28:03 PM
> Caroline; Did I miss something? What story about Sequoia? I am about 30 miles from the Calif. border; but I'm not sure how far Eureka is from there. My parents would never have dreamed of washing our mouths out with soap; but our dad was a big, 6'1 man, and wore a very hurtful belt!! That was enough to keep the fear in us, ha!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 3/9/2009 1:23:45 PM
> Sharon's a sweetie and knows my teasing is a remnant of the old "Thespian" days. Her word choice was elegant. I might also ad, Jim, your last sentence was very clever. Funny how many words are out there for excrement. I always thought very few others were subjected to the unusual and somewhat abusive practice of having one's mouth washed out with soap. You and the movie, "A Christmas Story," have shown me it was a regular practice. I can still taste the "Zest" soap in my mind. One of the "banned" words in my family was "butt". Still not sure why. Still, I'll take the old days.
- Steve Herron | 3/8/2009 10:46:58 PM
> Steve; Considering all the options Sharon had, it seems she made a fairly polite yet defining choice and yes, the mouth was washed out with soap more than once. It seemed to have worked although the affect of it took alot of years to manifest. Sharon; you showed great judgment in your choice even if we do do things differently.
- James Blake | 3/8/2009 7:19:54 PM
> Doodoo Sharon? We don't allow such language here. Did anyone here ever get their mouth washed out with soap? Really?
- Steve Herron | 3/7/2009 6:02:12 PM
> Miriam okay I remember it is the Oregon Coast, I can't remember doodoo sometimes. The place we would like to retire is Los Osos, next door to Morro bay, but much cheaper. With this crazy economy who knows when we will get up there. We go about 4 times a year for little mini getaway trips. And I do not remember that Sequoia story.
- Sharon Mitchell | 3/4/2009 7:41:18 PM
> Nope I don't recall hearing about that... Was that site called Shadowlands something or other? I was looking at it last night seems like quite a few schools are haunted.. I looked up where my daughter lives in Alameda and have heard about the Hornet but not about the other stuff up there... Miriam how far are you from Eureka,Ca... my d.. is getting ready to be transferred up there. her Hubs is in the Coast Guard..
- Caroline "Carpenter" Rigsby | 3/4/2009 4:02:25 PM

| I heard that one when I worked for FUSD. I cannot remember the details. I can tell you this, I spent many hours on the Sequoia campus, days, nights and weekends and never saw any sign of a little girl bouncing a ball around the lunch tables. |  |

> Hi guys - I was poking around online and happened upon a ghost story about Sequoia Jr. High. Anyone heard of this?? I don't remember anything tragic happening there. Supposedly there is a little girl bouncing a ball that appears near the lunch tables in the quad area. I'd be interested to find out the story on this if anyone knows!
- Ginny Buse | 3/3/2009 10:12:03 PM
> Hi Again, Guys; I guess I'll have to eat my words; last night, we had a horrendous storm; rain, hail, thunder, lightning--the whole works! Woke up this A.M. with frozen piles of hail everywhere!! It's probably one of those rare things, though!!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 3/3/2009 1:14:40 PM
> Ginny; You and I both went to Sequoia; and I remember standing at the bus stop, getting my legs sandblasted also!! It was such a blessing when we were able to wear pants, that's for sure!
- Miriam Appelbaum | 3/2/2009 2:43:13 PM
> Hi Guys; Sharon; I live on the Southern Oregon coast; and it's not nearly as stormy as I would have thought; although lately, it has been stormy; just windy and rainy; nothing horrendous. Caroline; Yes; the Siskiyous are the Mt. range you go over, coming into Oregon. They are nasty in the Winter; frequently closed. I'm surprised that we got through when we did.
- Miriam Appelbaum | 3/2/2009 2:40:57 PM
> Sharon - since we live in Bakersfield, when we go to the coast - it's the central coast (Pismo, Morrow Bay, etc). There IS a housing crunch there too! Just check things out before you move!
- Ginny Buse | 3/1/2009 11:41:32 PM
> Mariam, how has it been living on the Washington coast? I have been up and down that coast in the summer and it was beautiful, but I wonder what it is like in the winter. We want to retire to the central Coast of Calif. but with the housing crash here and not so much of a crash on the Central Coast, we are looking at other options. I LOVE THE OCEAN.
- sharon M | 3/1/2009 7:23:14 PM
> Hi Everyone, I'm glad you made it home safetly Miriam. I'm not familiar with the Siskiyous? is that a Mt. Pass? Ginny, I'm so glad that we were finally able to wear pants in school that was awful in those days. Hey maybe thats why I hate dresses (just kidding) Steve and James,all I can say is I'm glad I don't live where its "snows".. LOL Take Care
- Caroline | 2/27/2009 6:20:54 PM
> Hi Caroline; yes I got home in one piece; Thanks for asking; there for awhile coming back through the Siskiyous, it was a real white-knuckler! James; I'll answer soon; Bill K.- Pete was having trouble with his p.c.
- Miriam Appelbum | 2/19/2009 6:31:39 PM
> Hi to you too, Caroline! We hardly ever, ever get winds here in Bakersfield, but for the last 2 days it's been like the Santa Ana winds. Makes me remember walking to Sequoia Jr. High and getting sand-blasted (those were the days before they let us wear slacks). Glad to see that apparently everyone is doing ok!
- Ginny Buse | 2/16/2009 6:20:54 AM
> It has snowed here off & on for the last 3 days. Nothing too bad. Not like that stuff we got in December. It's very very cold. Just barely over 20 degrees last night. Burrrr...
- Steve Herron | 2/14/2009 12:53:24 AM
> Hey Caroline; I am doing well and loving every minute of the snow but not the ice. Thanks for asking. How are you doing??? Keep the faith and nice seeing you on here.
- James Blake | 2/14/2009 12:47:43 AM

- Fohi71.Com | 1/23/2009 1:36:57 PM
> Hi Again, guys; The weather here, Sharon is quite varied. Even though I'm at the Coast, we don't get the storming weather I expected. It's sometimes rainy, windy, hailing, but lately; it's beautiful; like Spring days. But then it gets coldish at night.
- Miriam Appelbaum | 1/20/2009 3:17:40 PM
> There's only one positive thing I can say about the Santa Anas. When it's blowing down the hill, we sure get beautiful weather here in the high desert.
- Steve Herron | 1/17/2009 1:26:21 AM
> All I have to say is I'm tired of the Santa Ana's.
- Caroline | 1/17/2009 12:10:43 AM
> Miriam how is the weather up your way? My best friend who lives in Wilsonville area just below Portland has had quite a winter, lots of snow, now lots of rain.
- Sharon Mitchell-Carbaugh | 1/9/2009 5:13:17 PM
> Ditto, on the Happy New Year to ya'll. Hope all are well. The last time I was in Pasadena, was with my Art class from Valley College; several years ago; we went to visit the Norton Simon Museum. Was Nice.
- Miriam Appelbaum | 1/9/2009 2:02:52 PM
> Slowly getting some more Poplar Elementary School pics on "Blast From The Past", thanks to Caroline.
- Fohi71.Com | 1/8/2009 4:06:16 PM
> Happy New Year Ginny! The class of 75 has a very nice website at www.fohi75.com. And yes, we were and are special.
- Steve Herron | 1/8/2009 4:03:45 PM
> Hi guys - happy New Year to everyone! I'm just wondering why it is that OUR class seems to be the only one who has a website?? I know we were special (ha!) - but is there some reason that we have fonder memories or want to stay in touch??
- Ginny Dianasic-Buse | 1/8/2009 11:30:56 AM
> That sounds like a really good idea. Just make sure you get a spot near the TV cameras so you can wave to me while I sit in the comfort of my living room.
- Steve Herron | 1/7/2009 1:46:46 PM
> I've thought of the package deal too. It would be so much fun.
- Caroline Carpenter | 1/6/2009 8:08:21 PM
> The only time I was ever at the parade was when I was 8 and my Dad put me on his shoulders so I could see the floats. I keep saying one of these days we should do a package deal with bus and bleacher seats.
- sharon mitchell | 1/3/2009 5:01:00 PM
> For a couple years my dad and I would go. My dad would get 2 ladders and a scaffle (sp?) for our seats. We would park a ways away and have our "seats" with us, carrying them the long distance to the parade route. Plus our cocoa and food. Once there we would set our seats up. Usually we would invite ppl to sit with us. Of course you can't do that Now... It was fun.The floats were beautiful and the smell was wonderful. I believe there were alot more celebrities riding then. I to would love to go back. I even want to work on the floats one of these years..
- Caroline Carpenter | 1/3/2009 4:08:43 PM
> Happy New year Sharon! Seeing the Rose Parade floats, in-person, is so much nicer than watching it on TV. It's been a long time since I've been down that way.
- Steve Herron | 1/3/2009 3:19:32 PM
> Happy New Year to everyone. We went to see the floats today, very beautiful. So much detail. It was a bit chilly down there, but we still enjoyed viewing the floats.

I use to go to my Cub Scout meetings in your neighborhood and visit with a few friends that lived near you. We talked at the 10 year reunion then at the 30. Bobby Blake was just a friend not a relative. Glad to see you on this site and up for a reunion. Hope all is well.
