My Ex destroyed my yearbook (class of 1947 @ Samohi) years ago and I am looking for an old classmate who may still have a '47 yearbook. I have effortlessly been trying to find a source who would replace my yearbook (E-bay,Samohi, etc.) but there have been no suppliers available. There is a picture in the yearbook that shows me a Majorette and I am desperate to have a copy of that picture.

the lord gave me a Cadillac limousine, and i use it to take homeless folks to church, let them use my cell phone to call their families whom think they are dead. I also take color photos of them by the limo and send out at my cost. I treat them to an all you can eat lunch after church. I fast sunday while they are eating. I tell them how I was an atheist, etc., although a millionaire until i went flat broke on halloween eve, 1971, on dauphin island, AL. with a wife, 4 kids and no food in the home. i then accepted christ as savior and he restored me to the sum of $317,500 within 6 months. i am writing a book called the hollywood wheeler dealer (from riches to rags) and expect it to be a best seller and do box office like the passion by mel gibson. i plan to attend our 60th reunion on June 2, and would love to hear from any of my ancient classmates who are still kickin, what are they doing, etc.

Hi Guys, Where is everyone? Lets get together somehow, someway. I will help. I visited Santa Monica last week and as they say, it's never the same but the dear old Incline was still there and what memories during the summer months when so many of us took in the sun and surf day after day. Hope to see you soon.

I was receiving a paper every once in a while and I found that interesting. I didn't see any familiar names in that list I went through.
