Where Are They Now??



Remember Jay 'Chris' Peterson, BHS Class '67, Yell Leader? Emailed him to find out whatsup and received this wonderful update which he said I could share! Thanks Jay ~

Hi Cathy,

Your photography is wonderful. Sure helps to have a great subject and your sun sets and sun rises are just the thing. Hope all is well with you as we are doing great as retirees. Now that our home is complete we have time to do some sightseeing and traveling. Unfortunately I doubt we can make the reunion this year. I will be headed to So Cali in April to visit our daughter and a cousin that turned 80 this year and is my mentor for many things. After getting my address book hacked last May I reduced my Facebook account to just my name. If you completely delete your account Facebook has the right to see your photos and address if they wish so the wise thing to do is remove all information and keep it active. My situation is the third time I have seen this happen so I found the need to leave this social network. Anyone that is interested in my activities already has my email address and contacts me personally. Thanks for keeping me informed and I appreciate your invitation to the reunion.

I have been involved in a lifetime passion of mine.....salmon and steelhead fishing. I leave today for a 2 day trip to the Olympic Peninsula to fish on a protected river within an Indian reservation. Prospects for great fishing are super good.



I also have been working on my 1930 Model A Tudor sedan street rod. I finally have the dream garage to work on my projects and now my hobby of building this car gets undivided attention.



Sherri and I are delighted with our new home and life in Northwest Washington.



Kudos to you for a great blog for all of us Bulldogs. Thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Cheers,
Jay Peterson

And here are a couple of more from the past...





FEBRUARY 18, 2012 UPDATE

From Jay today...

Thought you would like to see my 17 lb. steelhead I caught 2 days ago on the Quinalt River on the Olympic Peninsula. This big boy got to go back and share his genetics. Four others will be shared with friends and appreciated for their fine flavor and healthy meat. Take care. Jay

Where Are They Now???

Remember Fran Serafin? He went to Miller, Muir and BHS, Class '67



Today Fran is enjoying life in Apple Valley, California!



From Fran:
"I would like to add that I've had to recently move because I got tired of throwing back all of the newspapers that kept landing in my yard instead of my neighbor: BILL GATES !!"

DECEMBER 21, 2012 UPDATE FROM FRAN

Looking good, Fran!

Bob's Video

Thanks to John Rocke for this fun video!

Some of you may have already seen this, it’s been “around.” But, this is a bit of meaningful nostalgia to those of us who grew up in Burbank, or wherever there was a “Bob’s.”

Enjoy…

Party Update from Don Ray


Don's Facebook Update Jan 24, 2012:
"Thanks to Gene Giddings for capturing the moment at Frank's Restaurant when L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine joined me and my wife, Xiao Mei, for dinner and birthday gathering on Friday, January 20th. Restaurant owner Jose Lopez provided his best Italian dishes from Genio's Restaurant, which closed several years ago. The certificate certifies that I'm old! It's official!"

Original Post



Don wrote: "Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, Private Investigator Cookie Schwartz Diaz and Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Alan Rosenfield know that Don Ray stands behind them 100%.


"They were among some 40 friends who gave up their busy Friday Night to attend Don Ray's birthday get-together at Frank's Restaurant in Burbank. Others in attendance included Jan B. Tucker, Melanie Paek, Pam and John Kirkland, Tom and Anorene Townsend,Deborah L. Winger, Stephanie Winger, Gene Giddings, Donna Lee Giddings, Dave Lange, Frank Diaz, Addriane Pettinjohn and her son, William, William Prather, John Rocke, Pat Hall, Neal and Layoko Hershinson, Jan and Henry Osborn, Liz Hernandez, Xiao Mei Ray, David Ritchie, Chuck and Karen Campbell, Effrem, Reggie Salazar, Greg Alaimo, Pamela and Melissa Bergman and some others I'll remember in the morning.


"The great news is that everyone enjoyed the food --- especially the wonderful dishes that chef (and owner) Jose Lopez prepared off the menu from the late Genio's Restaurant in Burbank. Cathy Emmett Palmer wasn't there, but I'm sure she'll share this."

Yes, Don I would have loved to have been there! Sounds like it was a BLAST... and now, here are a few pics from your past!
