Sadly, we just learned that Janice passed away 7 years ago. She left school after 11th grade and that's her photo from the 1966 Ceralbus. Her older brother, Terry Welshana, was BHS '64 and he passed away in 2023.Their parents were Ira and Mildred Jenkins Welshans.
In 2014, Mary Brotsis Andersen brought our class photos from Miller Elementary along with a few of her birthday party photos and I posted them online. Here's one and below is the link to see the rest.

Oh this is so sad... we just learned that friend and classmate Dawn Moselle Hourigan passed away today.
Dave her husband texted me, "Dawn has been struggling with Ahlzeimers. She fought hard but sadly she lost. Fortunately our four children and 13 grandchildren nearby and are getting me through this. I had 3 bouts of cancer but am told I am cancer free. I am heartbroken. Being without her is killing me."
Please keep Dave and all their family in your prayers.

This is so sad... Christine's sister Deborah Lynn Mulle sent this sweet note...
Christine loved her family and loved being a grandmother. She loved the Lord. She loved doing all her art projects. Christine was happy at her home in Simi Valley especially because she lived close to her grandchildren. Her passing was too soon and we will all miss her. Think of her everyday and know she’s at peace and living in paradise with Heavenly Father.
Please keep Deborah and all the family in your prayers.
This is totally heartbreaking... Jim, you will be greatly missed by so many and we send our deepest condolences to the Grasse family. Jim was one of a kind who ALWAYS was willing to help anyone in need and if he couldn't, he would find someone who could! You'll always be in our hearts, Jim...
