Remembering Linda Warrick, BHS '67 (1948-2007)

At our reunion, Bev told me of the passing of classmate and friend, Linda Warrick... so sad...



Linda Warrick DeClercq (58)  
12-27-48 to 9-20-07

Linda and I were friends starting in Jr. High at John Muir. We became best friends in High School. We were in Dance Performance together. She even dated my brother. We continued our close friendship up until the time of her death. She was my maid of honor in our wedding and I was in hers as well. She graduated with a bachelors degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. There she met her husband, Denis DeClercq. They chose to settle close by in Cambria,Ca., bought a house and started their family. They have three children Matt, Corey and KC. Matt is married and Linda was able to attend his wedding about six months before her death on September 20, 2007. They now have one grandson.

She worked at the local high school while her children were growing up. And her husband was the principal (and a volunteer fireman). She later work as a secretary for the fire chief. Her hobby was photography. She was really gifted at this. We would receive her spectacular works each year on their Christmas cards. Her specialty was capturing the lightening strike.

Beautiful!!

Denis and Linda were married for 33 years. Linda passed away from Pancreatic Cancer. Denis and her children were with her, lovingly caring for her. We would visit each other and call on occassion over the years and our relationship took up right where we left off as if we saw each other every day. Such a friendship is hard to put into words but she will continue to be one of my lifelong best friends and more. Memories are God's gift to us of these relationships. I cherish them.

Remembering Linda with love,
Bev Bullock McLeod
(BHS '67)

Where Are They Now? Stan Dorrance BHS '67



Received the following email from Stan with photos of his lovely family and home. I asked if I could share and he said yes. Thanks Stan!

Cathy,

Love receiving your emails. Have made it to a few reunions over the years. Also have noticed some pic of houses and alumni in your emails.

Attached are a few pictures. One is of my family (wife Kay, children Ryan, Erin & Caitlin) and the other two are of our house in Fresno that we built about 10 years ago.

Thought you might be interested.

Received an email from Rhys Thomas recently. He is living in Fayette, MO. Has been there for a number of years. Now has a PhD in chemistry and owns a testing laboratory. Rhys and I were close friends at BHS and roomed together at UCLA.

Thanks for all you do.

Blast from the Past... Neal Hershenson



Snagged this great photo of Neal Hershenson, BHS '67, from Facebook - thanks Neal!

"On R&R from Viewtnam with John Chancellor, Ken Reeser (not pictured). We though it'd be fun to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. It was. This was September 1969 in Camden, Austraila (30 mi. west of Sydney). "
