| Comment: | Seems like yesterday I was worrying about R.K. Jones' term paper, trying to hit the curve ball off that big lefty from Mar Vista, plodding through math homework with John Finneran and borrowing lunch money from Gwyn O'Toole. Spent 27 years at the Univ of Washington in Seattle and just moved last July to new job at Univ of Piittsburgh. Don't know yet if I can make the reunion, but I hope I can--it's reassuring to see that John Little hasn't changed a bit in 40 years. My 85-year-old Dad still lives on Palm Ave; you will see him playing golf at North Island 3 days/week. Best of luck to everyone! |

| Comment: | Don't know for sure if we will make it, but we will try. Linda ( DeLong 'class of 74) and I have been living up here on the Central Coast (exact location is a closely gaurded secret or I will be hung for treason), town population 12K, for the last 35 years, would't live anywhere else, but the water is cold all year. We have 2 kids, Matt 21 and Sandie 27, 2 turtles, a large jack demsey cichlid and 400 Jack Russel Terriers (all rolled into one .. if you have one you know what I mean) Art has long been my passion and I am fortuneate to be able to make a good living as a faux/tromp l'oile/ mural artist. I belong to a southwestern states artist co-op and get to travel to some great places for work, just finished a luxury hotel job iat Punta Frailles, Cabo Pulmo in the Cabo San Lucas area... surf, fish and art,it doesn't get any better. I still surf almost everyday and am known for getting very grumpy at "my" spot if more than 8 people paddle out (or if I have to slow down to 65 at rush hour)...and we do have some big men in grey suits in the line up here, gotta watch my toes... Despite still owning a home in Coronado we rarely get back, ( 1 or 2 times / 5years...WAY too crowded down there for us) so it would be fun to check in... have fun all |

| Comment: | I think it's ironic that of the three class reunions I've attended, two of them were while I was living on the East Coast--such is the life of a nomad! Freshman year, I went to Southwestern College, but then attended the University of Maryland in Munich, Germany, my sophomore year while we were stationed in London. Instead of returning to San Diego State per my plans, I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Dad’s alma mater) with a degree in Journalism. I briefly worked in Washington, DC, long enough to earn money for my move back to San Diego. I alternated working in publishing and the travel industries for 25 years before moving to Boston after my divorce (no kids)--even though I lived in RI and VA as a kid, it really was a shock adjusting to minus 20-degree wind chills and having to shovel snow, but I managed to survive that climate fore nearly 5 years... In 2022, I moved to Kernersville (between Greensboro and Winston-Salem in Western North Carolina) to be close to cousins from my Dad's side. I absolutely love the sense of community here, have great neighbors and even joined the Community Garden--my first foray into vegetable gardening! Although the beach is over 4 hours away, I'm much closer to the Blue Ridge Mountains and some excellent hiking trails/scenic lookouts, so I hope to get up there in Autumn! I also would like to thank the Reunion Committee for all their efforts to date as I know how much work and planning goes into pulling off events like these...Cheers to Class of ‘68! |

| Comment: | Finish those botox injections, get serious on that diet, and use that line of credit to get those killer clothes Then plan on being here for the 40th in July..no excuses except death and that must be proven by 3 competent witnesses..all other absences will result in multiple felony charges and loss of all your real estate. This is going to be one fun time. |
