NOT happy, I do recommend finding yourself through whatever means available and believe me I am not an overly religious person. To the RBWT (you know who you are) and the rest of you relax, enjoy, and appreciate.

I started my own marketing consulting business more than 4 years ago, and have really enjoyed being out on my own after working as an office drone for many years. I love to travel and have been to Europe many times, including several trips to Italy. which is by far my favorite country.

I find myself mid 50”s and single living about an hour out side of Boston MA for about 14 years now and enjoying life. I live in an old New England small town on a pond. Each day I watch the play of nature from my office window but still live near enough to Boston for all of its art and culture. I work as a Construction Manager for building luxury homes but my real work is land conservation and other related environmental issues. I have to say this California native finds he is, at heart, a Yankee. Through Cyber space I have become connected to a few old friends from my formative years to remind me of the good times I had and that I (hopefully) have grown past the mistakes I have made. Contentment may a far better goal than enlightenment as you ease into it with age rather that pursue it with the passions of youth. Drop a line if you feel so inclined.

Miss the old haunts. The restaurant of the corner of Pico and Lincoln was my favorite place to go for Pastrami Sandwiches. Is it still there? I've traveled a lot, retired from one carreer and am in the middle of my next. I'd love to visit the old crew from Samo in Santa Monica or welcome them here to my home in Florida.

Please keep me informed as to what is going on with the folks. Remember when the cannon was stolen from the quad? I didn't do it but was there when it happened. The Rent-A-Cops put up a great chase. It was back the next day, but it was an awesome way to start the day.

After sauntering through most of my life in SoCal, I finally figured out that the best place to live is the place you love most. I moved to Yosemite Valley in 2002 and became one of several managers at the Yosemite Lodge. Simplicity has its merits: I spend most of my free time hiking and backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, bicycling on the scores of bike trails and roads throughout the valley floor, and I can’t wait for the cross-country skiing trails to open up this winter from the Badger Pass Ski Area to Glacier Point and Ostrander Lake.

The attached picture is me in the summer of 2001 at PacBell Park in San Francisco. What an incredible venue that is by the bay. I was sitting in the middle of a sea of orange and black (which included by brother Richard and sisters Leslie & Laura, all Samohi grads), but the outcome of the game was in my favor: Dodgers 14 / Giants 8. And by the way, we do indeed have running water, electricity, and even satellite TV in Yosemite . . . . . I couldn't survive without ESPN's SportsCenter.

I’m single now, but my daughter, Renée, is a senior at UC Riverside and will most likely attend UC Santa Cruz in 2003 to obtain her masters in English Literature. Drop me a line, particularly if you’re going to be visiting Yosemite National Park for a vacation or backcountry experience. I know the trails in the Central Sierra like the back of my hand. Well, that’s my updated info.

Kindest Regards, Kenny

My hobbies include Ham Radio, the Santa Monica Drum Corps and Halloween with the Great Pumkin (sic) Production Company. Playing drums has been a lifelong passion and I have indulged in that for the last 25 years. Each year is consumed with many activities associated with these groups. The Santa Monica Drum Corps is going stong with many group activities over the next several months, including incorporating previous members of the College in our current activities. So, if you are a former band member, drummer or not, let us know and we'll get together. It'll be a BLAST!

Any alumni needing a place to plant a tent for the reunion next year, there's lots of room. Let us know. (310) 457-1102

Big changes for me and my wife Susan (Epps, Samohi '74) After 52-1/2 years of living on the Westside, within 5 miles of the family home in Santa Monica, circumstances dictated that we move to Orange County. So move we did on Aug. 20, 2004, to a house in the Northwood section of Irvine. I have been working on the sports desk at the Orange County Register since 1997 and more than 7 years of driving from Culver City to Santa Ana every day had taken its toll. The move has been great and to those who hype O.C., we are believers. My commute went from 45 miles to 5 miles, from 90 minutes (or more) to 15 minutes (or less). Susan and I have a 12-year-old daughter, Alexandra, who is in 7th grade.

After earning an MBA I worked for the U.S. Congress as an analyst and participated in the Watergate investigations. After holding a similar position in the California Legislature and a tour as director of the Little Hoover Commission, I went to the private sector. In 1989, I opened up my own public relations firm in Marina del Rey where we provide services to corporations and non profit organizations. Interfacing with state and local government is still a big part of my business and life. My wife (who is also my partner in business) and I have been together for 12 years and have raised three daughters the eldest of which just got married; the middle one is engaged and our youngest is a junior at UC Berkeley. Running our own business and raising a family doesn't allow much free time for sports or activities, but we love to travel whenever we have a chance and have been to France, England, Spain, Italy, Israel, Switzerland, and Denmark in recent years. I still love tennis,! but play it with my new son-in-law. It's been an exciting and fulfilling journey and can't wait for the new chapter each day brings.

Hi everyone..."this is Rosemary O'Brien with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.....news." Hah! Memories of delivering campus news every morning just outside Mr. Leach's office. I'm sure many of you covered your ears once or twice. Hope it wasn't too much of an intrusion! Was almost on my way to becoming Katie Couric. Who knew that I would have an opportunity to work with her a few years later! After graduating from U.S.C., I continued to work professionally singing and dancing and then used my communications degree and stumbled into a public relations career. Have worked in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles and in New York for the past 25 something (ahem!) years! The work's been terrific and it's introduced me to many wonderful people and taken me to places and events around the world. I'm currently consulting and doing freelance work for ESPN as well as for numerous charities. I have wonderful memories of SAMOHI and send everyone warmest wishes for good health and lots of love and happiness! Rosemary

But now I am working in the NO. Bay, Sebastopol and only travel for vacation or to visit my children, 14 y.o.g. & 17 y.o.b in Portland, OR. It's a nice place to visit but not to make a living. I rely on architecture and project management income, but have done alot of R&D stuff in sculptural art, home remodel, and creative technology. I've promised many friends on this website that I will be visiting the old home town soon, but you won't know it till I'm there.

Graduated from UCLA with a Bio Chemistry degree decided not to go to Medical School or Law school, but opted to work in the insurance area, specifically Employee Benefits. I worked for MetLife & Prudential and lived in Newport Beach, then Malibu. I moved to Miami Beach and then New York City, where I am a Vice President at Wells Fargo. I was married and have one son who is a graphic artist. I sopped playing tennis and decided to take up rock climbing. I hope to return back to Los Angeles, specifically somewhere near Santa Monica where my brother Heinz still resides with his wife.

This is Chris Seil, class of '70. I've been in Texas for 16 years (I married a Texan, and that was the end of California), and have missed all my reunions due to business reasons. I'm still alive and well, and would love to hear from any of my former classmates. I am specifically looking for John and Paula Baum, who have moved from the last address I had for them in Suisun City, CA.

I'm still working for a nonprofit in Boston, MA, doing drug prevention work -- been there 18 years. Our work has changed a bit over the years, with less work with teachers and students in schools, and more with community coalitions working to change conditions in their neighborhoods. It's something new every day, which is why I'm still there. I still get to work on curriculum writing once in awhile, most recently a project to train youth in Ontario, Canada, to work in tobacco prevention. In November, 2004, I finally got married to my partner of over 20 years, Denise. Good ol' liberal Massachusetts passed a law allowing gay marriage, so we decided to take advantage of it. We had a relatively small (65 guests) ceremony and had a ball! It snowed that morning, which was a surprise, but it turned out a plus, since our outdoor photos were beautiful (though a bit chilly!). I would still love to hear from any former members of the MSS Spray!

In the '70s I graduated from UCBerkeley with a BA in Computer Science, got married, and worked in the family business. In the '80s I had two kids, a boy and a girl. In the '90s I realized a life long dream and went back to school to study music composition, became single, and sent my son off to college. In the first 4 years of this decade, I sent my daughter off to college, and received my MA in music composition on the same weekend that my son got his MS in Mechanical Engineering. Its been an interesting life, with plenty of ups and downs. I wonder what the future will bring...

Been living in New Hampshire basically since I got out of the Air Force in 1975.
Would love to hear from old classmates.
Have never been notified of any class reunions, so I'd also love to hear how the 30th went.
I really enjoy living in the east, except sometimes I do miss the warm beaches and water.

Hi, I can't believe it's been 30 years. Looking forward to the 30 year reunion next month. Pulled out the old scrapbook last night. My most lasting memory of Samohi was the Pumpkin we built in my backyard for the Viking Chorale homecoming project. I live with my husband of 21 years, John, and our two daughters, Janelle 17 & Jennifer 15. We moved to Arizona 13 years ago and built a house on the foothills of the Superstition Mountains. We're about 60 east of Phoenix. Looking forward to the reunion. .... Janet
