Samohi friends -- Since 1992, my wife and I have lived in Cenverville, OH with our two kids. Compared to Santa Monica, its like stepping into a 1960’ black & white sitcom -- Centerville is where Phil Donahue and Erma Bombeck come from and when you enter the sign says, “Welcome to Warm & Cheerful Centerville. It is just like growing up in Santa Monica plus or minus 40 degrees. When it is overcast, I just tell myself it’s a beach day and the sun will come at noon. Wrong. I graduated from USC and New England Conservatory, was the first manager of New World Symphony and continue to play the bass & cello, teach, conduct, compose and have done tons of publishing. I’m also a real estate addict, so that keeps me busy too. We are markjodi@aol.com. I was on the 10-year reunion committee and will help on the 30th. Let’s just set a date for 2007. Email if you know something.

My mom passed away this year, but my dad is still going strong. I'm so sorry I won't be there for the 30th reunion. I'll be at a family wedding instead. Have a great time!

I have been a DJ since the early 80's including stints at K.R.O.Q 106.7, and POWER 106 in the early 90's. I have since DJ'd and performed at many major festivals, parties and clubs in the UK, Europe and west coast area's. I did not officially graduate Samohi as my parents moved to Pacific Palisades in 1976 and I graduated early in my junior year (proficiency exam), However after a year at Malibu Park I did spent my sophomore year (1975) at Samohi and consider it my true High School.

After Samohi, I went to UCLA school of engineering, then Night Law School at Loyola Law School while engineering by day. Thank God I did not meet my wife until my 4th year of law school in '85 which kept the grade point average up. Four kids later, lots of kids soccer games and almost 20 years later, we are still living in Malibu. I am still working in Santa Monica at Cislo & Thomas LLP as an Intellectual Property Attorney(Patent Lawyer) and living the dream. I miss all my Samohi friends and wish the best of success to all. Working at Third and Wilshire, I see the great changes in Santa Monica and look forward to visiting with any returning friends. God bless and hope to see you at the next reunion.

I remember some really good times from Samohi: the quad, the pool, some great teachers -- and most of all -- people I wished I'd kept in touch with.

Hi everyone! I have agreed to be the representative for the 30 year reunion for the class of 1977. Pretty funny since I was not very involved with school back in 1977 (many of you probably do not even remember me) lol. We will post information on this website regarding the reunion very soon. As the date gets closer, the reunion committee may contact you to verify your address information. If you have any memory books, commencement lists or lists from previous reunions, we would love to borrow them! I'm sure that our 30 year reunion will be a blast! Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

I eschewed the call of the bright lights, fame, and glamour of Broadway (actually, there WAS no call, but let's not go there) for a career in education. Turns out it was a good choice. Since 1987, I've been an English teacher, both in middle school (AKA: The deepest, darkest pit of hell) and high school. Currently, I run a computer lab and reading program at an inner-city high school in Los Angeles. I married the love of my life in 1996...no kids, but more cats and dogs than the law probably allows. We are happy...I am happy...I hope all of you are, too!

Now I do astrophysics for NASA at JPL and live in Culver City with my wife Lisa and our daughter Madeleine (born 9/9/98). I've been to the South Pole twice, jumped out of an airplane, worked on NASA's SETI project, several radio telescopes, and several space missions, ridden a bicycle across the U.S, plus a few other interesting things, but the most fun and challenging thing I've ever done is trying to help raise a child. We have another daughter due in February (2003), and Madeleine is very excited about becoming a big sister.

In '97, we sold our business and moved just outside of Joplin, Missouri to start over again. Our than 16 year old daughter thought it was a death sentence, but she has since recovered and married another California transplant last year. It took us about 5 years to adjust to rural life, but now we love it. I get back to CA to visit family about every two years - and a week is just enough time to spend in L.A.!

We still have our two cats and now have two horses. We love the Bay Area which is a good thing cuz thanks to our governor we are "evil" teachers [unions = evil. he said it, i swear.] and if we moved we would have to go back to our salaries at 3rd year teacher level...um hello i don't think they do this in the private sector!!!! i love being a teacher! i just hope my state does right by education. when we were in school we had so much to choose from and so many options and support staff. what the heck happened :( Hugs to all...for those who even remember me.

I divorced in 1993, and remarried a pilot. The cop and pilot became friends and "husband in laws". Mark and I have enjoyed 13 years together. I retired from the police department in 2000 and have been buying and selling houses since the early 80's....I love fixing them up....like an HGTV show...!!!

While I actually graduated in '76, it was a year ahead of schedule for the purpose of being a ski bum with my ol' buddy, Cheryl Gould. I ultimately chose a more conventional life and got a BA and an MA in music (only somewhat more conventional...) The music business being what it is...I am now an executive recruiter for Heidrick & Struggles. I have been married for 13 years and enjoy Bay Area life. Chuck and I travel quite a bit and engage in as many music activities as we can fit in. Would love to hear from any old friends, feel free to e-mail. All the best to you!

Hello Friends! I've been on the road lately...My husband, Marc, and I traveled to Angola in November 2002 and distributed 960 wheelchairs to land mine victims and people afflicted with polio. I was moved to tears everyday. Our voyage was very long and grueling, but worth every moment and would do it again. We also participated in mobil eye clinics in El Salvador. During a four day span we visited four villages, set up eye clinics, and helped over 1700 people! We plan to visit El Salvador again this summer, and are trying to organize a corrective surgery trip to Mongolia. I am having the time of my life. Anyone interested? As always, I hope everyone is happy and healthy and welcome email from all classmates. Unfortunately our class didn't have a 25th reunion, so let's look forward to our 30th! Until my next transmission, live life to the fullest!

Greetings Fellow Alumni! My teenage daughters Andrea and Erica, our Norwegian Elkhound, four Bengal cats and I enjoy a fulfilling life in Reno/Tahoe. I was extremely fortunate to be home for many years raising our daughters, chaperoning field trips and leading Girl Scout Troops. I'm currently employed by the Second Judicial District Court, and also continue working pro bono as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, representing abused and neglected children (the most personally enriching endeavor next to being Mom). It would be fun to reconnect with old friends! You might remember me as a Sergeanette Captain, out TP'ing after Friday night football games and Red Vest Pizza. What great times! All the best to everyone, and I hope to see you at a reunion.

My daughters and I live on an acre with a dog and two cats. Our most recent addition to the family are two horses. I guess I've always been a farm girl/tom boy at heart. In Dec, I graduated with my MA from CU in Creative Writing and am working on a novel (one of many - maybe this one will get published!) and I also freelance. I am also choreographing an original rock opera to be produced locally, called "Mary Magdalene." After all the years in the cities (Phx, NY & LA) I am pleased to be treasuring the splendors of nature and a more solitary existence. Blessings and wishes for joy and love to all!

NO ONE IS MORE PROUD AND HAPPPY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH SAMOHI THAN I, AND IT IS NOT FOR THE GOOD (BAD?) TIMES WE ALL HAD, BUT FOR THE TIMES AHEAD AND PRESENTLY. I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT OUR CLASS WAS A SPECIAL BREED, YET TO SEE AND READ ABOUT EVERY ONE WHO HAS EXCELLED AND PROSPERED IN THEIR LIVES IS TRUELY UPLIFTING AND LIFE ENFORCING. IF YOU REMEMBER ME AT ALL IT WAS FOR MY WRITING AND CLOWNING. IN REAL LIFE I HAVE BEEN THE FATHER TO MALLORY LEE FOR GOING ON TWENTY-ONE YEARS. I HAVE WORKED IN PUBLIC SALES FOR EVER AND I AM NOW IN THE GOLF INDUSTRY. I HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE AND THANK EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO INSPIRE AND DELIGHT ME WITH YOUR ASSOCIATION. I WISH I HAD MORE CONTACT WITH EVERY ONE WHO WAS IMPORTANT TO ME IN 1977 AT SAMOHI BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW NOW THAT YOU HAD AND HAVE A GREAT INFLUENCE ON THE AURA OF OUR CLASS. STAY HAPPY AND WELL.
