Well, if you like classic cars, you'll LOVE this 30 min video! Got the link from Ron Franzen via Pam & Jon Kirkwood's monthly Looper email in which Ron wrote: "Also, for those of you who live out-of-state, but would like to take a little trip down "NOSTALGIA LANE" and visit Bob's Toluca...from Ron Franzen '66"

Remember Tim Morgon?
I remember Tim from the Ice House and he also sang at BHS. Thanks Chris Peterson for the link!
http://www.timmorgon.com/
I bet there are classmates and friends that remember this performer of "our time".
Enjoy.
Chris
Found a website where you can listen to a couple of short clips here and here and here and here and here and here!
"Tim Morgon walked into an empty coffee house in Balboa, California in the fall of 1959 and started singing. He was asked to come back and sing for pay the next weekend. He was there for almost 6 years playing for packed houses, three sets a night on weekends and throughout the summer. He recorded 4 albums from 1963 to 65, and they all sold very well. Because of poor management, Tim never received any compensation for the record sales, and his career was stifled. He was able to keep singing, headlining at the Ice House, Pasadena and Glendale, and clubs throughout the Southern California area with an occasional gig in the midwest. He sang voice-overs for TV and movies, and commercials and performed on stage for the last time July 31, 1981. Although he hasn't performed for over 20 years, his name is still remembered by his followers from the 60s and 70s. Now his fans can step back in time and once again enjoy the music that was a big part of their lives when they were growing up in Southern California. You can contact Tim at tmorgon@aol.com, he would love to hear from you."
AND here is a photo of Tim from our yearbook when he sang at the Father-Daughter banquet.

Subject: where ya been?
Greetings Mr. Morgon,
With the creation of the internet I guess anyone can be found! I submitted your website information to one of my classmates at Burbank High School that has created a beautiful blog for our class. http://www.bhsclass67.blogspot.com/ You will find yourself as the most recent entry to date and one that I take pride in submitting. I had seen you at the Glendale Ice House in the late 1960's and was inspired to learn to play guitar and also am experiencing some arthritic pain in my hands and wrists. Some day my 1969 Martin D-35 will hopefully go to a deserving relative, friend or aspiring musician. It is my privilege to thank you for making your choice of career music and presenting that art form to so many that have truly enjoyed your talent. I hope all is with you and your family and hope that soon one day you perform at some kind of out-of-retirement concert! I would love to attend would gladly shout any lyrics you need help with.
Cheers,
Jay Christopher Peterson

Jay,
Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to write. And also for putting the article and link on your BHS blog. I just recently got an email from one of your fellow students, Dona Porcaro-Bruckner. It is truly a wonderful feeling to be remembered in such a positive way. I still have my old Martin 00028C and a few other guitars. I think my grandson may be interested. He is only 4, but shows a very good musical ability. I hope I can pass my guitars on to him or someone that will enjoy them as I have. One thing I might say about the blog. I don't want to sound unappreciative, but the in heading "Remember Tim Morgon ?", my name is misspelled using an 'a' instead of an 'o', but it is correct below that on the link. No big deal, but I thought you might want to know. Again thank you and I really can't see a "reunion concert" in the near future, but if there is one, you will surely be notified. Tim

And now that I have the correct spelling of Tim's last name, I found a few youtube video clips of him!

Appreciation towards a successful book
Received this email today... Looking forward to meeting you girls in Sept!
Dear Alumni,
Gina and I appreciate all your stories and overall willingness to help us with our research. Not only did it benefit our project, but your stories are what filled the pages of our beautiful memory book. As Mr. Thomson stated, stay tuned for our Centennial celebration in September!
Thanks again,
Elvira Derhovsepian ('09) and Gina Park ('09)

Update on the Centennial Book
EMAIL TO THE CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE FROM DAVE - KUDOS TO ALL WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE!
Hello All,
I want to give you an update on the Centennial book. The book was finished and shipped out to the publisher on Tuesday (7/8). It is a beautiful book that tells the history of the school and ended up at 152 full color pages. It is hard bound with a dust jacket and will sell for $40. The book will arrive at BHS the week before the Centennial celebration in September. It would not have been possible without incoming seniors Gina Park (‘09) and Elvira Derhovsepian (‘09) and BHS teachers Fred Cook, Bob Smallenburg (‘72), Carolyn Grogan (‘63), and Paul McNiff (‘90) and his wife, Angelique. We have literally lived at BHS for the past fifteen days straight putting in 12-18 hour days. They represent the very best of BHS, and all should be proud of this incredible project and tribute to the school.
I am heading out for vacation and there will be no one to monitor the website for the next few weeks, so I posted a note. I also revised the events timeline to account for the removal of the Gala from the schedule of events. All other events are good to go as scheduled.
The next meeting will be Wednesday night, July 30 at 6:00 pm in the Library. Kelsey has been doing a great job with publicity and getting out the word. The focus now turns to recruiting the army of volunteers needed to ready the campus and to put on all the events. Please come with names.
See you on the 30th,
Dave
