"I really enjoyed seeing so many "old friends" at the reunion and my congrats to all of those that worked so hard at putting this all together. I will be uploading some photos soon and it was Janet, Demetrios, and I doing the big late night stop at Bob's Big Boy afterwards. I didn't go to sleep until 3am and then was up to head back to San Diego for a Chargers game. But all worth it, since it was a great weekend and a special time together with some wonderful friends. You are all looking so well. Please look me up in San Diego."

"I have to say that Saturday night was AMAZING!! Roger(Spidey) Kulpa, the web site has been a true joy to read. It was so wonderful to see so many that night. Tony was right about how it wasn't about pretention but about good people getting together and sharing memories. 30 years later, the ladies looked lovely and the men handsome. Jill Iverson- what weight were you talking about? Those who weren't there missed seeing Jill still looking absolutely beautiful and seeing an amazingly gracious woman. We are a class that should be proud of the kind of people we've become. Lisa Holzer- I was so happy that you got to make it at the very last minute. Again, what a memorable night!!"

"Hope Roger got the pics I emailed him. For those of you who couldn't attend, you missed one fantastic event! Great job by Tony, Mike, Tim, Barbara, Vicki, Don, Louis, Joe, and Roger. Hotel staff had to close the doors to outside because we were getting noise complaints! Class of '75, we still know how to party!!!"

"I forgot to mention, for those who missed it, the JBHS school tour on Sunday was great! What an awesome remodel. A state-of-the-art photo lab, a culinary arts kitchen, and an engine shop/lab where students learn about airplane engines. (Autoshop is a thing of the past.) I was greatly amused by the encyclopedias still on the library shelves. I thought perhaps they were just there for decoration! I was informed otherwise. Other campus changes were a new gym, a new pool, as a matter of fact, none of it looked familiar!! The campus was so cool, it almost made me want to return to high school again......NOT! There'd be no way to recreate the awesome class of '75!"

"Wow! What a fantastic evening! After 30 years, you all still know how to party! It was wonderful catching up with all of you. Hopefully, there'll be a email/address list available soon, so we can keep in touch. Some of us didn't want the night to end without a trip to Bob's Big Boy for a shake. That place was still hopping at 2:30 in the morning!!! I'll be sure to post that picture soon... If anyone gets up to the Seattle area, give me a call!"

Julie P, I'm sure you don't remember me, but if you need any help finding a home in Santa Clarita (if you haven't found one already) my husband is a local Realtor. ;-)
Love to all, Juli!"

"Hey Classmates... Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!!! I can't wait! Eariler this evening, I received a call from former JBHS Teacher/Adminstrator Dave Jackson. Dave said he is coming to the reunion! Then, an hour later I got a call from former JBHS football coach (and current JBHS Athletic Dirctor Marty Garrison) who is coming too! In addition, I just got off the phone with Tom Miller, and there is a good chance we could see TM-QB at the reunion! Also, I have good reports of many small informal dinner parties taking place over the past few days, and that is very cool too. Tonight, I had the chance to spent a nice dinner with Joe and Michelle Mersola, Lou Dargenzio, Melodee Bonica, and Patti Ginnetti. I know so many of you are looking forward to ROCK tomorrow!
There is a buzzzzzzzzz going on about this reunion and you will NOT be dissapointed! :) I can't wait to see you all! :) Hugs!!"

Julie Patterson, you better get in touch with me when you move to Valencia...I would love to get together with you.
A big thanks to all who made this website possible. It is wonderful seeing those old photos as well as the more recent ones.
I can't wait to see everyone on Saturday night!!"

"It has been amazing to watch this reunion come together. Mike Marker- Thank you for not giving up on us; your spark is turning this event into something everyone is truly looking forward to. Tony- you ARE the ultimate cheerleader. Besides cheering everyone on, you are relentless in pushing us forward. With you on the football team, no wonder we made it to the championships! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone that night. For the spouses on the fence - PLEASE JOIN US!!! My husband, Ira, is coming just to find out what I've been talking about. He's a Jewish boy, born and raised in New York City, so it'll be fun to watch him amongst the California raised crowd."

Sorry we missed the game yesterday - I bet you guys are sore! Tony, you should have been a cheerleader putting this reunion together. I admit that I was going to take a pass but seeing the hard work you've all done I wouldn't miss it...unless of course I can't get these last 50 pounds off! Did you say there would be food? ttfn (That's for Julie, TaTaForNow!) See you all soon."

Tony, keep getting the teachers to come. They know we were the best class ever! I believe Dave Jackson also knows the whereabouts of Jerry Libman. Don't forget to invite our fabulous female teachers. I think Ms Wojtyla could add some interest...."

"A New Year's party would have been a good idea, but unfortunately part of the bribe package of moving from bonnie Scotland to California for the lassies, was to spend Hogmanay (Scottish for New Year's Eve) with Mickey. However, any other time is fine! (Keep reading these messages and you'll be well versed in Scottish slang) Ta ta for now (that's goodbye)."

"Hey Chris! - A lot of laughs behind the scenes... thanks for the fun and for coming out of the closet to post here and set the record straight! ;) Sure, more time to plan would have been helpful for everyone... but fortunately, a FEW of us didn't want this year to pass and when we realized nothing was happening, we formed a NEW Reunion Committee. This Reunion Team has basically KICKED BUTT in a short amount of time and is throwing what is going to be ONE FANTASTIC CELEBRATION, one deserving for our great class!!! I am VERY PROUD of each member of our 30-Year Reunion Team (Micheal, Roger, Tim, Barbara, Vicki, Joe, Louie, and Don). We're all glad you are coming! And you're right: our class does have 'class' - you too, Chris!"

"The evil rumor was i was nay saying this reunion. Set the record straight. I simply felt that this was done in haste at a bad time of year and the last minute blah blah blah, and that it would effect the turnout. Consequently i thought that our class with so much CLASS deserved the best damn 30 yr reunion in history. Now i am curious LuAnn, what other ways might i be famous or infamous? PLEASE DO NOT ANWSWER THAT QUESTION HERE.life is good.. see you there!!!!"

We will be based in the Valencia area. And, Tim why can't we have a reunion every five years - what's this about never seeing each other again :-) I'd love to hear from all you guys. Have fun!"

But, we have a line up that beats both these guys.... instead, former JBHS and football coach teacher Merle Stone is COMING!!!! :)
Yep, Merle Stone will actually be there!! In addition, former JBHS Teacher, Coach, and YoungLife leader Ken Tada is thinking real hard about making our reunion...
he even told me he is going to contact former JBHS teacher Dave Jackson and invite him to our reunion... So how about that!!!...
Hey, does anyone know how to contact Bobby "D"??? He should come too! ;)
PS: Gary S., YES.... I still live in your old house and have raised my kids here! They love the big pool!!!"
