Some might think it's "Hip to be square," but certainly not in this case.

Looking forward to having a good time...all night long!

Janis I read your posting regarding the group of girls you are getting together with at the reunion. If my memory serves me well this might be a program like the Housewives of New Jersey. It could go out to a national audience if you record it. Glad you have all the great friends to visit. Have a great time. Best Wishes, Rich Castro

Now that's a great idea Rich, Housewives of San Leandro High! Girls that's better than the calendar idea.
Rich would love to see you at the reunion. Try and make it.
I know this is a late 70's hit, but good to dance to Old Time Rock & Roll.

As some of you know one of our girlfriends Carole Forsberg Sykes, is having some medical problems, she is going in for a procedure on the 19th of August. Just wanted to let you know, so you could keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I spoke to her this morning and she said she would see us at the reunion.

See you at the reunion!

Hi Janis and Marty,

please give my very best to Carol F. when you speak to her and let her know we're sending healing wishes for a complete recovery. Melinda

Marty Rego (Granucci) Wonderful news about Carole, surgery went well, she did have to spend 1 night in the hospital. But I was told the surgery was a success. After I talk to her I will relay the information. 43 more sleeps till the reunion, can't wait.

An update on Carole, when I spoke to her last week she had just been released from the hospital, she had some things going on, although the stint surgery went well, other problems exist. I wish I had better news, but right now I don't. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We are hoping Carole can make the reunion. At this time we just don't know. I have her mailing address if you would like to send Thinking of You cards.

25 more sleeps to the reunion.

Just talked to Carole, and she said the last 3 days have been good, she is feeling better. Doctor has told her it is going to take time to build up her stregnth and stamina. She wants to come to the reunion so bad, and will be there if at all possible. She did ask if by chance she could come at the very last minute if that would be okay. I told her Yes, didn't tell her this, but I would be more than happy to share my dinner with her. I hope that was okay.

Can you believe only 19 more sleeps till the "65" Pirates get together.

This is for the memorium page. I hadn't look at this and was shocked to see Mike Fagrey and Betty Rodin on the list among others! Does anyone know what happened? So sad.

Hi Everyone,

Just received a late notice yesterday, and a big thank you to Rich Ferguson, who filled me in about the reunion. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this 45th one but certainly have all of you in my thoughts. I recently moved back to Ca. from 15yrs. in Pa. and will be out of town that weekend celebrating my 17th wedding annv.

My last reunion was our 25th I believe, and I had a blast! Seeing old friends, reminising, like being dragged out to the dance floor by all the girls and dancing with Dennis Birdsong who flew me across the room with his wild dance moves...and, oh yeah, and wearing the same dress as Diane....I servived it!! I hope she did. Also had fun reminicing with the girls who spent the night at the hotel.

Hey Ron, I see where you're still the party animal. Elk Grove huh, (?).. not too far from Tracy, by the way I need a hair cut and I think my eye brows are still in good shape....ha-ha-ha

Have fun you'all......................Hope to see some of you, somewhere, soon........before the next reunion.

Hey Gorgeous! You can have a cut anytime! LOL! but you are on your own with the brows!

I hope I can get a few dances in before the leg cramps!! LOL!! So nice hearing from you. Wish you were coming! If I remember right we had a couple of nice dances at the 25th.

Very good, I see your memory still works. Sorry I won't be there but I will at the next one. If you're ever in the neighborhood, drop in . I'll be sure to carry your address with me if I go towards Sac in the future. Have fun, buddy....................Pat

What a joy! The highlights for me were many, but to see Carol Forsberg (Sykes) walk into that dining room was so uplifting and truly heart warming. She looked terrific and is still the sweetest lady and an inspiration to everyone. To get to know Andy Shubin better, with his infectious self deprecating humor and smile from the heart was great fun! Humbly, he gave all the credit for those great touchdown runs to his guards, my old friends from Thomas Jefferson, Keith Meitz and Phil Bayliss. It was gratifying to share the evening with my running buddy, Bob O'Brien, who couldn't attend because of some medical issues, through the technology of the internet and the mobile phone. Thank you to the entire reunion committee (Greg, Nancy, Gail, Melinda, et al) for all your hard work in bringing this event to fruition and for creating the website to keep us in touch. See you all at the 50th, lord a willin' and the proverbial creek don't rise. Stay healthy, love one another... come visit Christine and I after we retire and relocate to Hawi Town, North Kohala on the northern tip of the Big Island. Great adventures await the intrepid souls who journey there from the mainland. Warm, clear water...fresh, upolluted ocean breezes...white sandy beaches (black and green ones too)... snow capped mountains and tropical rain forests...we'll leave the light on! Aloha nui loa...malama pono.

A very special THANK YOU to all of you who came to party and spend a few hours with some of your former classmates (certainly not former friends). The event was wonderful and magical because so many of you came and shared your stories and updates with so many. I think more people were engaged with more classmates this time than ever before.

Keep in touch here, and we'll definitely reunite for the 50th!

We had a wonderful time. Many, many thanks to the committee and to Faye Wilson who did such a wonderful display of photographs. Everyone was so friendly. This reunion was the best ever! Can't wait for the next one. Let's spread the word.

Oh yeah- What a great reunion! I knew I was "headed" for an intense party when I entered the hotel lobby to check-in and did not recognize Tommy O. and he pulled my hat off.! Thanks to all who made it work and especially Greg W. for motivating me to fly south for this event. Reconnecting with old friends, sharing memories, and making new ones from classmates who I did not know well back then ( or just did not remember). I wished the reception was longer to establish more connections- I never made contact with some who I really wanted to meet. I guess that is what happens when you wait 40 years before you attend a reunion. The place, the food, the music, the people. Even though I was exhausted by 12:00pm from too much talking, drinking, eating, and dancing, I really did not want it to end. Can you folks put on something next year?- I really do not want to wait 5 years. (Who needs an even longer in-memory-of-list! ) Gail- really enjoyed that poem. Bob- thanks. Hawaii-Oh yeah. Connecting with Steve and Ann Pring- high school sweethearts still married-they should have been called up in front and given -ah - I don't know- His and Hers pirate hats? Thanks Stu for calling me to the back (even if you made me sweat it out playing the guessing game)- I never would have gotten that hug from Carole F. Thanks to everyone who came up and said hi. Bye- Andy

Bob, I can say only "Mele Kalikimaka" (and several weeks late) because it's the only "Hawaiian" holiday phrase I know; BUT, I read on a linguist's site that "mele kalikimaka" is a Hawaiian stereotype and "no one uses that" at all. Soooo,"happy new year"!

The photo of Andy and Greg greeting each other at the reception was, to me, the epitome, the heart of "reunion." Such a friendship photo....

Andy, after I read your idea about having some sort of "in between" reunion, I thought it might be a good idea. Now, I'm unsure. What do you and others think? Might that dilute the attendance for the "50th"? On the other hand, SLHS Class of 1960 schedules mid-point reunions, even a cruise and their "last" reunion---their 50th---was attended by 200 (more?) people "because it was promoted as "the last/final" reunion." But, Class of '60 classmates arrived and said they wanted more reunions! Amazing: We boomers just keep on tickin'.

Maybe get togethers prior to 2015 would be important and fun and would bolster attendance for the 50th?

Greg, thanks again for the website work and for your catalytic "new year" prompt.
