Umm, what are Azure hills? Looking forward to seeing everyone. I have three daughters (45) Nicole Actor- Writer - kind of a genius (origins unknown), Shelly (41) Orange County Firefighter, and Candice (38) 5x and current World Champion in Stand-Up Paddling World. Hamstrung by 'shyness' around girls- a lot of great and pretty one's from Peralta to VP, (we're all beautiful right?). Never went to a prom, homecoming, Sadie Hawkins- wow- did I miss out! Many great memories on baseball field with co-Spartan teammates and Coach Grable. See picture in photos. Sorry to shock you, but Kevin Costner said he couldn't make it this year. Perhaps the 70th- so hang tough everyone. Can't think of high school without mentioning my parents who were my heroes. They are with Jesus now. Married a girl (64- oops- I'm in trouble now) who is kind, like my mom- that's a beautiful thing. Still blessed with the same best friend of 56 years, Mike Emge, stellar as ever and lives nearby. Remembering some interesting (in many ways) teachers. Capable, fun, zany, odd and merciless (Algebra- Mr. Profit). It backfired having the brilliant Howard Matsukane provide my homework every day. Couldn't talk him into taking the test. Have grown out of shyness (excellent therapist referral upon request- doesn't work on a sliding scale), be forewarned. High School didn't start too well. Atop the balcony with books on the ledge, I reached to secure, and nooooo... the whole library descended upon the pretty head of Dianne Sabourin. When I ran downstairs with many apologies, concern and much trepidation- that sweet little sophomore threw the verbal book at me, a whole stack. Her dad must have been a Sailor. If you see Dianne with a brace on, please inform her there's a statute of limitations in Cali. Recalling the 30th or was it the 40th- reunion?? (my granddaughter said, "Papa, you forget a lot". I reassured her, "I'll never forget I love you!)" I can remember things 50 years ago, yet when looking for my phone, yikes- I'm on it- Do I have a witness? Where was I, oh Dianne- that Library missile descension at least, didn't knock the pretty out of her. So Sorry Dianne. Mark McMillian is a Physical Therapist, and there's got to be a Chiropractor amongst such a stellar group.
Oh, last thing- my four grandchildren (18, 15, 13&13) rock my world. I'm sure many of you can relate. A wonderful girl, Diane White, said in the Senior Yearbook (this is from memory) "sitting on top of the world would be a real drag, unless you have someone to sit by". Looking forward to a few nights sitting together, sharing life and memories. It's ok to embellish. It's protocol.
See you soon. What was the date??
