I moved to Hawaii in 1980 and I have lived on the island of Oahu ever since then.
I never really settled down or went to college for a long time.
I have two teenage children Dale 16 and Ashley 15 from a divorce.
I recently went back to school got a BA in Elementary Education. I am now working as a 4th grade teacher in Hawaii Kai. I am making a simple website with links if you want to look.
My brother is a 1982 graduate living in Culver City with his wife.
I remember going on a hike with a Mike (Muir?) the summer after graduation but I never heard from him after that. If you know him or you are him, contact me.
Glad to see Samohi is Wired to the net.

It's a lot different now than it was back when! I want to "get out of Dodge", so to speak, but not until Madeline graduates ('08). I'd like to go north or maybe upstate NY. Just someplace green and affordable. Know any place like that? Anyway, I'd love to hear from old classmates, friends, etc.

It was just terrific to see many of our classmates at the 25th reunion this past October. Like everyone else at the event, it was difficult to believe that all those years have gone by. Nonetheless, I capitalized on the opportunity to catch up with people that I had not really spoken with since our Franklin and Lincoln days. But I was saddened to learn about the premature demise of Gardner Graber, who I 've known since kindergarten at Franklin. In any event, I'm still doing the establishment thing...lawyer, marriage, kids, mortgage and all that. Often times I think that the most fun and care-free time of my life was my swimming and water polo days at Samo, and the friends I presently and regularly communicate with stem from those teams. It would be a pleasure to hear from others in the Class of 79 who would care to drop a note. Take care, all.

It took me 30 years but I finally earned my Bachelor's degree. When my oldest son went off to TCU in 2006, I decided it was time to finish what I had started at SMC back in 1979. The kids were old enough to take care of themselves so I began at Austin Community College and graduated with an AAS degree last year. Western Illinois University is associated with the fire service so I was able to finish their Bachelor requirments in just over a year. Last December I applied to the University of Texas at Arlington for their Master's in Public Administration program and received word last month I was accepted. Things were rolling for I was selected for a scholar award at Western Illinois that l received at commencement. Last but not least, I was promoted to Division Chief in the Austin Fire Department last month as well. As the saying goes - You're never too old to learn. I wish I could have completed my degree when most everyone else was in college, but life got in the way. Thankfully, I was able to get back into it and it sure has paid off. For any of you out there that have given up, don't do it. It's never too late to reach for success.

We've been living in Orange County for over 20 years now, but with one child at UCLA and the other with her "best best" friends in LA, I visit my old stomping grounds frequently. I sure wish my mom would have kept her rent-controlled apartment for get-aways! I'm currently working as a self-employed legal assistant/paralegal, which basically means I'm working part-time for the highest bidder.

Still in No. Cal., this time as VP of Product Development for an East Bay company as well as celebrating my 20th year in specialty manufacturing of restoration parts for cars. Built some neat projects and met some great people along the way. Married Carolyn Johnson (class of 80) and we have two daughters, Isabelle 8, and Aria 5. Took them to the SM Pier last year and a tour of nostalgic SM. Still a great place to live, but lots of Starbucks and home decorator stores, more or less the same...except for the 7 figure homes. We were fortunate to have gone to such a great school and enjoyed the company of good friends, some who are still good friends. It's great to read the listings and see what people have accomplished in the past 20 some years. "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold."

After all these years of being out of school, I decided to go back. I'm currently working on a Masters in Direct Marketing at Northwestern University. This summer I'll be at IBM in White Plains, NY. I would love to hook up with old friends by e-mail, since I've been pretty poor at contacting people personally.

After high school I went to Australia for the summer, then came back and went into banking, which I decided I hated so I returned to school at 25 to get a degree in Civil Engineering. I finished up at Cal State Long Beach in 93 and got a job as a project engineer for a structural engineering firm right after the Northridge earthquake, which is where I still am. I took the Professional Civil Engineering exam in April and should get the results in July. I also went back to Cal State Long Beach last semester (part time) and started working toward my masters in Civil Engineering.
I've been married to Mark Reynolds for 7 years and we own a home in Long Beach, no kids yet, but lots of animals (cats, dogs, lizard, snakes, etc.)
Also I’ve been in several bands since high school. My current band is “NOT the mimi’s”, I sing and play bass. I have a web site for the band under construction, so you can see it soon at not-the-mimis.com. I also started Tae Kwon Do about a year ago and am just about to test for my blue belt. All in all, things are good. I’d love to hear from some of you so drop me an e-mail if you get the chance!

After many years living in NYC, have become a suburban mom (son and daughter, 6 and 4, respectively). I've been a freelance writer and editor for...too long...after getting degrees in Art History (UCLA), Journalism (Northwestern) and Public Policy (Rutgers). Worked in newspapers for a while, including a wacky stint stringing for the NY Post. My husband, who is British, works as a mathematician. I can't believe how much Santa Monica has changed; have many fond memories of student government, newspaper, and Young Bureaucrats of Coarse!

My daughter Judy and I live in a Norman Rockwell town in Central Connecticut. I'm an accountant for a long-term care facility, she's currently a kindergartener - but hopefully will not be forever.. We're busy members of our synagogue, mothers to our two cats, and spend our free time bike-riding or scootering to the local park, ice cream parlor or pizza place. Haven't made it to a reunion but do read the updates on our class occasionally. Happy 2007!

I actually graduated from Big Bear High School, but since I spent my sophomore and junior years at Samohi, it remains my true alma mater. I have been in the Air Force for nearly 14 years and I'm currently stationed in Tokyo, Japan on my way to Portugal next spring. I work as a television field reporter for Air Force News. I haven't been able to attend any class reunions, so I was very happy to see that Samohi on the internet!
I've lost touch with a lot of my friends, but I always think back fondly of the times at Samohi. Some of my favorite teachers were Miss Escalante and Miss Rodriguez for Spanish class and a bearded teacher who taught Rock Poetry...what a cool class!! I always want to visit the campus when I'm in town...does anyone know if it's permissible? Until then, I'll visit Samohi through cyberspace.

The Stan of all trades. I've done it all since the last class of the seventies retired. It's been a bit of a ride. I still have fond memories of our famous high school and must say I'm proud to be an alumni. Anyone looking to relocate to hot Arizona should contact me. I'm a licensed Realtor for Century 21. Maybe I'll have a chance to see some of you at reunion 25!

Living in Culver City, and working in broadcast management for DirecTV. Since Mr. Wexler's film class in Lincoln Junior High, I have remained dedicated to the behind-the-scenes segment of the television biz. (I don't have the face to be in-the-scene!) Have a lovely wife, Jody, and three children, ages 6, 13, and 18 (two girls, one boy). Every one in a while, the kids break out my yearbooks to laugh at the goofy, and sometimes profane, things my peers wrote in them. My mom still lives in the same apartment on Euclid St. in SM, and I love visiting the town, although it was much better there when we were kids. I miss those days.

I don't feel that old... but hey I can still rock out on the guitar (even if it's 'classic' rock). My nephew is trying to make the music scene and is currently on tour on the east coast. The link is on my myspace page. Swing by and drop a note. Perhaps folks can work up a 30 year reunion by making a cruise to Alaska July 09. A toast of Griffen Cab Franc or Erath Pinot to you all.

Working as a Legal Secretary for an international lawfirm. Playing softball here in OC has been good to me. My team, Make 'Em Cry! has won many a division title and is still going strong. I've done the marriage thing, and divorced 5 years later....go figure?? hehe. I've decided not to have children. My sister had 6 so I figure she's had mine. I'm lovin' my travelling and freedom to roam. Met up with Lydia Avila recently which was totally great. I enjoy connecting with classmates and learning about what they've been up to. Drop a line! Take care all!!

After designing electronic chips and circuitry for a number of years, I decided it was time for a career change to keep from getting too bored. I therefore picked up my law degree from U.S.C. and now practice intellectual property law in Century City at the firm of Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP. I mainly do patent litigation work, but I also obtain patents for people covering electronics, computers, the Internet, and other fields. I’ve also been doing volunteer work with Christmas in April South Central L.A., which works to rehabilitate homes of elderly and disabled residents of South Central, and is part of a national organization. I always enjoy the look on people’s faces when they find out that the guy crawling under their house fixing their plumbing is a lawyer. I was thrilled to see that Samohi finally got a Tartan track.

A lot has changed since I last updated. I am back in the Inland Northwest. I love it here. Its nice to be around family again. I have twin daughters who are 25 now. Kat is in graduate school studying Anthropology. Gretchen is married and I have a granddaughter. My youngest just turned 18 and is graduating this year. He will be studying mechanical engineering next year. My life drastically changed recently. My granddaughter has been diagnosed with SMA, a genetic nerve disorder. She also has aprixia and will never talk. I am now taking care of her full time. I am learning sign language and learning more about physical therapy than I ever thought I would. I am starting a support group in my community to raise both money for research and to raise awareness of SMA. It takes a lot of time but worth every second. I have fond memories of many people I went to school with and would love to hear from my old friends.
