Bruce ADAMSON email

adamson
Bruce is living in Santa Cruz County. Adamson has been busy as a "Beaver" working as a genealogist on The Barrymorefamily.com website.
Without a lawyer Adamson in 1990 won a case against the U.S. Post Office and again in 1993 against the F.B.I. Adamson is now a genealogist/historian/writer and publisher of 19 titles. In 1982 Adamson talked the youngest male Academy Award Winner, Timothy Hutton and a future Oscar Winner Sean Penn into sneaking into the movies in Westwood. We were then just kids 25 years ago.
Sean Penn is also an Alumni of Samohi. At this time Adamson leased a house out in Malibu to Tim Hutton.
Adamson has also written several books on his relatives who were prominent in U.S. history and "I have gotten more out of learning after leaving school, than I ever did while a student. Adamson's books have been accepted into Harvard, Princeton, Universities of Santa Cruz, Irvine, Kentucky, Loyola, Dallas and New York City Public Libraries. Former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta has previously supported Adamson's research on the JFK assassination.
Will this alumni be the one who solves The Crime of the Century? Adamson believes he has done just that. Who killed Kennedy? Ask George H.W. Bush of the CIA. Adamson has been working for the past three years on a civil war video relating to his family at http://ciajfk.com/rufuseaston.html[3] for more information on it. Samohi Alumni's Mark Piesco, Kimm Hogue and Gary McGowan and actors John Savage, Robert Easton have roles in this documentary. Story is a result of Adamson's book For Which We Stand, The Life of Rufus Easton.
Query what ever happened to Lucy Cronnan ?

I love the San Francisco Bay Area. The first time I tried snow skiing was when I was 30, and I have really enjoyed it ever since. I am a photographer, and do weddings and portraits. I also ballroom dance, direct the drama ministry at my church (BayMarin in San Rafael), and am interested in different kinds of small group environments that facilitate people's spiritual growth.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if any one remembers me, I hung out with the stoners, hippies, we all had a blast, so young no fear!!! I use to hang around Rick Moom, Mark (we dated ) Bobbie Springman (Howard now)Kim Hall, Collene, Elaine, there were so many of us. Bobbie & I talk every day and the memories of Samohi we laugh about it now. Neither of us graduated from there however it was a big part of our life. I live in Savannah, own a Travel business, single, and have 7 kids, a few were adopted street kids. Life has been good, once a free spirit always a free spirit!! E-mail me if you remember me.

Wow! Almost 10 years since I first posted to this site so it's about time to update things. Last time I posted I reported that Lloyd and I were divorced 3 years after a 20-year marriage. Who would have thought that 12 years after we divorced, we would end up back together again? I guess it’s true what they say about soul mates. No, we’re not planning an getting married again because we’re having too much fun living in sin this time around. As for the kids, Shannen turned 30 this year, Todd is 22 and Trevor (our miracle child) will be 21. In August 2006, I finally left GTE/Verizon after a 25-year gig, and started my own business. You can check out my newest venture, Star Quality Virtual Celebrity Personal Assistance at www.rameyva.com. I’m always looking for contacts that work both ways, so if you have a service that I may be able to use in my business, email me so we can do some networking. I think I went through my mid-life crises a couple of years ago. I just stopped by a tattoo shop one day and unexpectedly, got a tat. That same year I bought a set of drums and started taking lessons. Last year, the drum set was a great tax write-off when I donated it to our local high school band department. I think I played them maybe a dozen times. I’m now on my second Mustang convertible and am looking to buy a ’65-67 one day soon. My hobbies are pretty much the same. I finally finished the romance novel I worked on for over five years. The record collection is collecting dust in storage and may end up on Ebay some day soon. In addition, I’m still running the online fan club for Barry Manilow (gasp!) 12 years now! I started following his career the same year we graduated. I knew if I hung in there long enough, he would be hip again one day. I would love to hear from other's who attended John Adams, Samohi and Olympic high.

My sister Carol has been bugging me to do this for years. So I guess on the year of our 30th reunion I have waited long enough. I am currently residing in a beautiful suburb of Vancouver, BC, Canada (that's north for those not acquainted with geography) I moved here 14 years ago after experiencing the skiing and meeting my present wife (Lori) at Whistler. My life after high school has been rich and rewarding with numerous of experiences. I have focused primarily on the healthcare industry and have been the national marketing manager for a pacemaker/defibrillator company for the 5 years now. This has allowed me to travel extensively, not only in North America, but Europe as well. I have also experienced the blessing of children (3), but unlike most of you, I have spread them out (22,11,2 years of age). I wouldn't have it any other way. If you haven't experienced British Columbia, I encourage you to do so. One of the most beautiful places in the world; golf, skiing, hiking, sailing, you name it. I agree with Cam, anything worth doing can be done on a golf course. Please let me know if you are coming this way.

Hello Vikings! Well after barely managing to get a college degree from CSUN, I lived in Mammoth for a winter and then continued as a ski bum for a few more years while living (in EXILE!) in the Valley. Worked (and actually got paid) for the '84 Olympics, met the lovely woman who is now my wife of 10 years, got a succession of real jobs and am now living in the SF Bay Area. We have 2 great boys, Tanner (5) and Trevor (3). I hope that this site grows and we can start to rebuild some of our past friendships. Feel free to drop me a line.

I really enjoy other people’s info, so I guess I will add myself. I still live in Malibu (45 years now); I guess that makes me a permanent resident. I now reside at Buzzards Roost Ranch, near Kanan and Mulholland. I work as a park ranger (law enforcement) for the National Park Service. I sold the gas station at 35 years old and took the new path to the NPS. I am married to Connie (Fischer) class of 71? We have been married 25 years, no kids. I have seen many Malibu locals and SAMOHI alum over these many years. It never ceases to amaze me how we mellow over the years. I seem to enjoy all these folks and I am happy that we have all found our place in life. Life is good. I wrote a couple of folks that I barley knew here in the SAMO pages, I suggest you try it and make a new/old friend. I was very pleased the way people respond when you are honest.

I'm looking for someone who was very special to me but who I hurt out of fear of getting in too deep. I was only at SMHS for a short time in '71 but, had I stayed, I would have been in the graduating class of '73. If you're out there and know who you are, I would like to hear from you. You used to play the piano for me and take me for walks around campus. I don't want to hook up. I would just like a chance to explain after all these years. Maybe we're both mature enough now to understand that things aren't always as they appear to be.

Sam NADLER email

 

Posted 01/31/00

Deceased
I am Sam's sister, Margie. He had planned to put his bio in here shortly before he passed away. I thought it fitting to do it in his place.
Sam went to UCLA after high school. He worked on the Daily Bruin and was a member of the honorary fraternity Order of the Golden Bruin. After graduating, he worked as a manager at The Broadway, and UCLA School of Public Health. Finally he followed his heart, went to law school, and was graduated from Pepperdine. He met his life companion during this time and they finally settled in the Bay Area.
His partner died of AIDS in 1991 and Sam continued his own struggle with this disease, eventually retiring on disability 3 years ago. He continued to live life to the fullest, traveling, spoiling his friends, and my own family with his time and generosity. He worked in the LiteracyPlus program in Hayward despite losing most of his sight. He battled on this past year in hopes that the newest drugs would give him the chance to regain his health but he finally lost the struggle in May ‘97.
He is buried at Mt. Sinai Cemetery in LA (Glendale). Anyone who would like to remember him can contribute to any of your local librariesí LiteracyPlus programs or any AIDS charity. I am making a remembrance book for my family and myself and if you have any stories or memories about Sam and would be willing to share them with me, please email them to me.

It was so much fun seeing everyone at the reunion! Seeing everyone felt just like returning after summer vacation. I don't think any of us look or feel like we're approaching 50! I moved to Colorado right after graduating from CSUN in 1977. I have been married for 23 years and have two daughters. Korinna is 21 and completing her first year of law school. Briana is 19, a journalism major, health and fitness minor, ready to start her junior year in college. Life has been good, although there were some very busy years working and raising kids. Now, the kids are out of the nest and I'm only working part time, learning to relax and really enjoy life. I'm returning to my roots, trading in high heeled pumps and office gray for Birkenstocks and long flowered hippie skirts. Love to hear from old friends.

Hi everyone! I have worked for GTE, now Verizon, for 24 years. Married to my husband Ralph for 15 years. No kids, just doggies! I run a department for Verizon that is responsible for DSL repair. Got my BA in Sociology in 1978, an MBA in 1990, and am currently working on a Masters degree in Sociology.

Is anyone working on a 25-year reunion for '73 next year? I'd love to get involved.
March, 2001 - Yours truly is very happily settled on an 80-acre farm in North Alabama. My spouse, an equine artist by trade, is into horses in a very big way, specializing in combined training - dressage, cross country over obstacles, and stadium jumping. Daughter Cheri is in ninth grade, a budding artist and cartoonist, and about to get her learner's permit - yikes! Son Wesley starts kindergarten this fall, and is still set on being a railroad engineer, just like a young man I once knew.
I'm still having a grand time in the Training and Crew Operations Group at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. From July to November of this year, I'll be one of three communicators (by voice and/or video) between MSFC's Payload Operations Center and the International Space Station. Yes, someone's actually paying me to talk!
Extracurricular activities include helping my spouse with her art business, which includes a greeting card company, being a volunteer firefighter, and occasional involvement in community theater.
Give me a shout, eh?

I graduated from Pepperdine Malibu in 1976 and worked for the Southern California Gas Company's Market Services department in LA. In 1983 I married a Frenchman, moved to France, and had two boys. When we divorced, the boys and I returned to the states. I have been a single mom and high school teacher now for 12 years; and my boys are all grown up. I enjoy teaching and love to study the scriptures.

We develop content for unique "shaped" CD-ROM's
I have 4 children from 2 marriages: Scott (21) Chris (18), Tim (11) and Kim (10)
Would love to hear from all of you, and share stories of life's journey.

After kicking around in SM for only a couple years after school, I had brief stints in San Diego and Ventura, until I moved to Long Beach. I moved to the South Bay after meeting my (third) husband in 1995. I've been working for the California State University Chancellor's Office (headquarters) since 1980. (Before that was California Ambulance and LAPD.) I was the Web Manager of our site - 30,000+ pages - but have taken a promotion and moved to another group. I enjoy traveling (at least 2 long vacations a year), gourmet cooking, getting together with family and friends, and anything "shark", hence my nickname Sharky. I am a part-time activist in many good causes, some of which I highlight on my website.
