Even Now

Hi Cathy: I can't take credit for this video or the other link that I sent earlier on the soldiers in Iraq. Henny Porter should get the credit since she emailed it to me.

After talking to many of our classmates at the reunion, I couldn't believe how many have dedicated their lives to teaching; caregiving; police and fire; public service, news reporting and armed services - as well as many other noble professions. We truly had a giving class that has made a big difference in the lives of many. One classmate attributed it to the fact that the class of '67 was the last class of innocence. We graduated before drugs took a hold of many lives. The "Even Now" video takes about 5 minutes or so but is well worth the time. It is soothing and meaningful. Thanks Cathy for giving us an outlet to express our feelings with your wonderful blog!

Support the Troops

We all have opinions about the war - for and against - but either way, our young men and women are risking everything to do what they believe is right.

Cathy Nicholls sent this video to post on the blog.

May the war end soon and may the troops come back home, safe and sound, is my prayer.

Yes, it was a fun time and it was wonderful seeing you at the reunion as well, Susan!


Hi Cathy,

It was great seeing you at the reunion. You seem to be happy and that's great! Congrats on becoming a grandma, twice.

Susan Casimano

From classmates.com Susan writes:
I love living at the beach! I teach history and language arts to middle school students and my job is awesome. I have done extensive traveling around Europe, collecting teaching materials, and sharing great moments with my daughters. My parents live nearby, and are 83 and 91 - still going strong! I hope those genes transfer to me. My sister teaches art in Maui and is my best friend. I couldn't ask for a better family. I am truly blessed!

A Note from Connie Cirinelli

Connie, it was so fun hanging out with you and your husband, Don, all weekend and I enjoyed meeting your handsome grandson, Jimmy, at the picnic too - pls stay in touch!



Cathy

Thanks for all the special work you put into the reunion. The blog is so much fun and you have given the event so much more meaning. Seeing all our old friends was great and so much fun.

And not forgetting our friends that have passed means so much. I had no clue that Sue Moos had passed. I talked to her several years ago and she was so down now I know why I've not heard from her again. We take time and life for granted. Special times like this makes us realize how important time and life really are.

Thanks so much for all your caring and love that you put into this special day of our lives.

Your friend Connie

A Week Later...

Can you believe it's already been a week since the reunion?? They say time flies when you're having fun, but it also flies as you get older - have you noticed that?? And does anyone else have sore calves from dancing?

Btw, this week in my zeal to update the blog, I carelessly tripped on my printer cable and my big toe is now a lovely shade of purple - ouch! But it's healing up quite nicely I'm happy to report. So I guess blogging can be dangerous to your health - yikes!

Cathy Nicholls Coyle's Photos

Thanks for sending the great photos, Cathy! Looks like ya'll had a fun time at Freddie and Joan's. And a BIG THANK YOU for all the hard work you did with Donna Luce to make this year's reunion a GRAND SUCCESS!

Hi Cathy:

First of all I would like to thank Dona Foy very much for promoting my husband's book The Fear of
Reality. If you happen to buy it (on-line at Amazon.com) you can email me at scarleto49@aol.com and we can set up a meeting for John to sign it for you. We live in Santa Clarita.

Here are some photos from one of the other pre-reunion parties. We partied till 2:00 a.m. Thanks to Joan and Freddie Ortega for being such great hosts!

The reunion was a great way to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. With the pre-reunion parties; Bob's Big Boy for lunch; the Reunion and the picnic on Sunday we were totally exhausted by Monday. Thanks to you all for making it such a amazing event!

Hope to see you at the 100 Year Anniversary of BHS next September!
