Steve Hubert & John Broadley Meet with Madelaine

Thanks, Madelaine, for the great photo!

And what perfect timing as I just scanned and posted the class '65 senior pics (link).



Cathy,

I just wanted to pass on a little about two BHS guys I recently reconnected with.

I met with Steve Hubert & John Broadley for lunch a month or so ago. Both the class of 65. The picture is attached. We met for lunch and had a nice time reminiscing. Each of us had different memories of those days when we were in Burbank.

Steve is living on Balboa Island and is close to retiring, still surfs and John is in Huntington Beach after living 20 years in Hawaii. While John doesn't surf anymore, he still enjoys the water from his boat. What I had forgotten about John was his great sense of humor.

Best,
Madelaine (Zeleany) Whiteman

Edward Lee Voliva 1947-2009

May 14, 1947 - September 2, 2009

Just received the sad news that Ed Voliva BHS Class 1965 passed away last September. I found his name in the Social Security Death Index and that he was born May 14, 1947 and died September 2, 2009. May the Lord comfort the family we pray.

Here is Trudie Hentze's email to Cathy (Nicholls) & John Coyle:

I received a response to my reunion email that classmate Edward Voliva passed away last September. I do not have any other information.

Regards,
Trudie

Subj: Fwd: No Alumni Picnic without help from BHS

Pam and Jon Kirkwood are not able to head up the BHS end of the annual JBHS/BHS All Class Alumni Picnic anymore. I believe this would have been #10? If interested, please talk to other BHS alumni friends (all classes) and maybe you can help get a small group together to take over the duties. For detail of what it entails, please email Pam & Jon at pamkirkwood@yahoo.com.

Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Hi All,
Thanks for forwarding the email below...We were waiting to hear what Linda decided for sure about the status of the Picnic, so that we could find out what to do with the BHS tent and the "Who Let The Dogs Out Banner"??? Still haven't had anyone step up to take over the BHS part of the Picnic, so if you hear of anyone who is interested, let us know.
Take care and Happy New Year!
and "Thanks for the Memories"...
Love, Pam and Jon

Hi Denny. We don't plan to have the Alumni picnic this year, so we didn't book it.. BHS has dropped out and couldn't get replacement and we don't have the help we need either, so when Pam let me know that, I decided that we would take this yr. off. Maybe we can get it going for 2011. My 50 reunion is in '11 and I have another class that is having a reunion in '11that's interested and maybe we can coordinate it with those reunions and any one elses for 2011. Pam & John have retired and need to help more with their parents and they couldn't get anyone to take their part. I think we're just kinda burned out. I hate to give up our good deal with the parks dept. So, like I said, maybe next year we can get some new blood and start up again. Maybe people will miss it enough to get more involved in helping. You and your group have always done so much and have been so helpful and we appreciated it. Esp. with the cars, But without BHS it just doesn't work well. I'm sorry about not having it, but this is how it's turned out.
Please know how much I apreciated all you've done Denny.
Let me know your thoughts.
Linda
