Dear Classmates:

I looked at your faces and my eyes filled with tears....I so wish that I could have been there. It's like a slice of my life is with all of you and it's been so long since I've been with any of you. Looking at the photos of the colors of the mountains....the field that we used to look at from the girl's dorm patio. (and I ALWAYS looked to see how Steve Klein was playing!) Some of you look EXACTLY the same...Felis, Margie, and others I had to study more closely to pick out familiar features. But the memories that go with those names and faces are always close to my heart.

I was with you in my thoughts. My daughter graduated from High School on June 2nd, so it was impossible for me to get there from the East. Maybe the 35th or the 40th... or maybe the 31st. Who knows. At any rate, I'm still an East Coast girl with a bit of California in my heart.

Love to you all,
abby pall (now abigail weinshank)

Hey Rick,

Thanks for sending out the photos, it's fun to reminisce already! In case you're wondering who the kid with the orange hat and No War t-shirt is that pops up in several of your photos, that's my son Si. I don't think I introduced you to him.

I'm also sorry we didn't all have more time to chat. Maybe it will happen again sometime.

Rick-
 
Thanks so much for sharing your photos so quickly. I was needing a fix and this did it. What a tremendous time but way too short to spend the time we needed to talk to everyone.
 
I'm glad I got to at least say good-bye to you ( one of my favorite pics!) and Tom but we were running for a plane and I didn't have time to chat with you. Keenan said something about Bobby Carradine...if you do see him, please give him a hug & hello from me and the Biscoes. He was missed this past weekend.
 
Please note a correction on my email address: sandis@wvi.com instead of irvins. Dave Williams doesn't have email (not even a computer) but I'll print some of the pics and send them to him.
 
Again, great to see you and your beautiful family! Keep in touch.

Rick; Hi! Nice shots. Great to see some familiar faces and names. Glad
that many showed up. The band had a gig on Sat. late afternoon in Palos
Verdes so couldn't get up there in time to enjoy anything. Would have
been 9-10pm before I arrived.
We're off to Panama City, Fl. next Thursday for one show on Sat. night
at a theater venue there.
I see Eric made it there with his mexician wrestler's masks....LOL!
Regards, don

Thanks Rick and Friends,
          Woke up this fine summer morning and found all your smiling
faces in my mail. I must say, I'm so sorry not to have been there. The
memories of those youthful, troubled times now span over 30 years.( now
there is something to dwell on). I would love for both our classes to
get together for at least a week in the not too distant future. There
are so many paths and dreams we have all experienced with their roots
from O.V.S. that would be great fun to share. I could go on but I'll
leave you with just one last thought. Know that our energies will
forever be connected.

Love friend and fellow classmate,

Lenny Thorell

Greetings to all you lucky so-n-so's that made it to the reunion! You all
look really great, especially considering how old you've gotten! Yeah, yeah
, me too! I down loaded the pictures on Rick's website, they were great! It
was really great to see you all. I had planned to attend but fate had other
plans. It would have been nice to get away for a while, things here in the
mid west are tedious at best! It's gotten VERY hot the last few weeks. Its
hard to get much done outside, so I try to get up early and then come into
the house around noon to tinker with this 100 year old farmhouse. Then maybe
I'll go back out later in the evening, maybe! I've been in touch with a few
of you over the last few months and I'd love to hear from anyone, anytime!
Any other pictures out there? Michael Ross <rosco77@hotmail.com>
