Hello!!! It's fun to see all the familiar names on this site. As you can tell, I didn't venture too far from Santa Monica. I went to school at UCSB and now live in the South Bay. After many years in Sales/Marketing in the Hotel Industry, I started my own event planning business 8 years ago. I was married, but am now divorced with no children. I still keep in touch with quite a few lifelong friends from our class - and look forward to the reunion!
Oh, my gosh! This website is like looking in a yearbook -- 20 or so years later! How cool is that?
I'm here in Malibu with my husband Kim and my two children, Brian 16 and Catherine 14. I think Kim and I have been married forever but I’m not sure. I think I lost track of time. We are all having a great time just doing stuff. Kim works locally in construction and he plays a LOT of tennis and beach volleyball. I type dialogue continuity for Paramount and work at.... get this.... Point Dume Elementary as an aide in the 4th grade. It's true, I'll never grow up. Someone has got to teach kids the art of goofing off!
My son Brian enjoys doing anything -- as long as there is a good chance someone is going to get hurt. I think it’s all about those X Games on TV. And yes, he's playing football at Malibu High. I love watching the kids play -- but football is SO not my sport!
Catherine plays competitive soccer and she loves it. She plays for the Eagles in Camarillo and by now we know the location of every elementary and middle school soccer field in California. Yes, what a gift!
Glad to read everyone is enjoying themselves!
The grass really is greener in Oregon !!

Time flies! After graduating from Cal Poly SLO in 1980 I met my husband while working with Arabians in the Santa Ynez valley. He was originally from the mid-west, had gone to Westmont in Santa Barbara, was a banker & had paint horses. We were married in 1981 & moved to Minnesota that fall, where he had horse property.
We still breed & train paint show horses. Ten years ago we moved to 40 acres on a beautiful lake in rural southwest MN. We also run a bed & breakfast here. Have two fantastic kids, a boy & a girl, ages 16 and 14 (in 1999)
Still here in So. Calif. after all these years. Got remarried in 2000 to a wonderful woman. Have two kids in college. Any that knows the whereabouts of Paul Kessler (class of 73) let me know!
Pine, CO 80470
After moving to Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 1980 - where I got married and had the first of our three daughter, I've actualized my dream of living in Colorado. I have a great business partner, we have a counseling center (I'm a marriage & family therapist)with three offices. You would think that I'd had enough of school but I am currently in a PhD program doing my dissertation on "Transformational Partnerships". The girls are all playing competitive soccer and riding horses and my husband is on his way to being a doctor of chinese medicine (even if he's not chinese). My consulting business (Aha!) will conduct it's first horsemanship/partnership training this coming summer - it's a great program focued on building relationships, both two and four legged. Keep in touch.
Although I live in the Midwest, I keep a wet suit hanging in my folk’s Malibu beach house and try to get back to California at least two or three times a year. I own a company that manufactures various RF communications components in the western Chicago suburbs. In California my most visible products are the radio antennas used on the Highway patrol, LA County Sheriff and U.S. Border patrol vehicles. I own and fly my own plane and still try to keep in shape with kayaking and bicycling. You may remember my brother Dan (class of 77) has a law firm in Santa Monica and can be found at cislo.com I always enjoying hearing from old friends.

Hi fellow Samohi Vikings! I've been an investigative journalist, based in Los Angeles, since the 80s. I still live in our beloved town, Santa Monica. I've written extensively for numerous local, national and international publications. The local publications include Los Angeles magazine and the LA and OC Weeklies. If you're interested in some of the things I've scribed, check out www.laweekly.com and put "Michael Collins" into the 'search box' and all my recent stuff, for that publication, pops up.
Though I write about all sorts of things, I've been keen on environmental issues for the last few years. To wit, if any of my Samohi alums have some terrific tips to impart to me, fantastic!
Personally: I'm single, no kids and love to inline skate when deadlines don't prohibit it. I am a semi-professional inline skater and have have competed around the country and world.
Comes a time when an old Viking must reach out to his fellow classmates/lovers/trouble-makers. Now is the time. I hope to hear from any of you who wish to share a laugh and our mutual wonderful time we spent at ol' Samohi.
Once a Samohi Viking, always a Samohi Viking!

Hi everyone! Over 30 years now... I don't know what to think. My intention with presenting myself is to find information. I am looking fo any classmates who took surfing class in those years with Coach Kusserow. I could probably find all of you just by face in the photo annuals, but those are lost to me now. I am currently writing a book on those days on the beach before the death of POP pier. If you would like to share your stories or even just some insights and feelings, send me an email- I will welcome you.
A freelance writer, editor, and writing teacher, I've had 38 nonfiction books published and am currently working on a series of children's novels. I also have a B.A. in English from UCLA. I've been married for nearly 25 years and have two sons (ages 14 and 19) and a daughter (17).
Since 1985 I've lived in Washington, DC, recently moving out of the city to the Maryland suburbs. Since 1990, I've worked at the Department of State. I'm married with one son who started kindergarten last Fall (hence the move out of the city). He's great and his mom is pretty neat too. I hope that life is treating all of you well, at least most of the time (ok, at least some of the time). I came to the website to find out if there were plans for a 25 year reunion, but it looks like a no-go. I'll look for you at the 30th.
Having the time of my life with my husband John in Valencia,Calif. We have 2
sons Johsua,21 and Matthew,18 plus our dog Scooter,18 and 2 cats Mercedes and
Grey Kitty.
Living in Davis, Ca. Working in Sacramento for Sutter Health as a Technical Project Manager.
updated 9-07: Boohoo & whoopie, we are all turning 50. Its great to be here, yes!? I'm still living in the Bay Area, married, 3 kids (one starting UC Davis this year).
Hi all. After Samohi, I graduated from CSUN, where I met and married my college sweetheart. Have worked for Pac Bell since 1980 as a programming techie on their billing systems. I have two really smart and beautiful daughters, ages 15 and 11. We lived in the Bay Area for 15 years and have since moved back to Southern California, living in Thousand Oaks. I would love to hear from my old Viking friends, so feel free to send me an e-mail. Maybe I'll even treat you some Elton John on the ivories.
After Samohi, I graduated from Cal Poly SLO and went into the US Army as a Communications Officer. I traveled the world extensively (twice stationed in Germany, for which my two years of Samohi Spanish helped me very little) and as such, was not able to attend any of the reunions to date. After Desert Storm, I left the Army and returned to the Southland with a wife and two boys. I now reside in Burbank with my two boys (17 & 15), while the ex-wife decided after 18 years to seek greener pastures. I am employed as a Senior Administrative Analyst with the Information Technology Section of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. For fun, my boys and I can occasionally be found on Sundays at the Los Angeles Live Steamers in Griffith Park, riding at the controls of our 1/8th scale train engine and hauling the public. Look forward to hearing from others who remember me.
Euless, TX 76040
Living in Dallas, Texas, and love it! Have 2 grown daughters 20 & 23. Worked in healthcare for years, but, unfortunately did not finish in that career. But I did learn how to drive a bus in '97! Enjoyed 4 years as a school bus driver, have driven tour coach all over the U.S. And now am working at DFW International Airport, driving for the Rental Car Agencies. So if you ever fly in and rent a car, take a close look at your driver, it may be me! I may be 45, but feel so young (except when the knee's start aching, hehehe)If you are in the area, please feel free to drop me an email, the easiest way to get ahold of me.
I'm still living in Santa Monica. My daughter graduated from Samohi in 2004, and my son will graduate from there in 2008. The 30th reunion was the most amazing weekend ever! I had so much fun seeing old friends again.
I, Lisa's mother (and Neil's too,) am just filling in information for the Viking News. As for additional information, I leave that up to Lisa.
It would be easier to list all the states I haven't lived in, such is the life of a Pilot's wife. My oldest daughter Dawn Kelli is attending UT Austin where she is studying communications and my youngest is 16 Pallas Joy is living grand with her driver's license. Retired from years of security work at SeaWorld San Antonio where I was Loss Prevention supervisor, to pursue my freelance writing and doing custom jewelry design. ANY ONE KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS of April Berger or Steve Sahagun? All good things, Nancy
Davis, CA
I graduated from Cal Poly SL0 in 1980, and staggered to my 1st Job, working for a drug company in Palo Alto, CA. <--- Product of the 70's!! From there, moved back to Santa Monica, Married, have 3 Children, one Blake attended Samohi for two years before we moved to Davis, CA. We live on the outskits of Davis, CA on 20 acres with horses, dogs and lots of open space. A sand riding ring is as close as we get to the beach on a regular basis, but less polluted. Now one in college (Blake) and one in 1st grade (Britney) and one in 6th grade (James) keeps us pretty busy (and broke). Temporarily retired, but looking for an IT Project Manager position in Sacramento area.
I unceramoniously graduated early,and persued small theatre and dance jobs around L.A. until moving to New York City in 1978 to attend Fordham University and continue to bang my head against the brick wall of open auditions.Armed with this great experience,I moved to San Francisco where I ran my own dance studio for five years.The bohemian life lost it's luster, when my daughter Ariel turned school age and we fled to the comfort and good schools of Marin.I applied my psychology major and love of the arts to theraputic recreation programs for seniors in long term care settings,which brings me joy to this day.I remember my artsy friends from SAMOHI [mostly] fondly, and la vie boheme...
Back in Santa Monica/Newport Beach after moving progressively north and then south (Central Coast, Humboldt, Eugene, and SF) in search of perfect surf, degrees, and love. I guess I was lucky to find it all, especially after all those crazy high school days!
After Samohi, I graduated from Cal Poly SLO and went into the US Army as a Communications Officer for the next 12 years. I traveled the world extensively (twice stationed in Germany, unfortunately for which my two years of Samohi Spanish did not help me very much) and as such, was not able to attend any of the reunions. After Desert Storm, I left the Army and returned to the Southland with a wife and two boys. I now reside in Burbank with my two boys (22 & 20) but without the ex-wife as she decided to seek greener pastures. I worked for 10 years at the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California as a senior administrative analyst before moving on to my current position as a financial analyst for a designer jean manufacturer in Commerce. For fun, my boys and I can occasionally be found on Sundays at the Los Angeles Live Steamers in Griffith Park, riding at the controls of our 1/8th scale train engine and hauling the public or working with the boys as they practice for ! various Special Olympics events. I am also involved in several community organizations (Masonic Lodge, Kiwanis, and Burbank Tournament of Roses Association) that keep me busy. Look forward to hearing from others who remember me.
A few updates since my last entry here: Finally finished my Master's degree in Finance. Still working as a paralegal but now in financial services litigation (which is kind of a hot topic these days). My biggest news is Denisen and I just had our second daughter, named Abigail Eileen. Katherine Grace is now four and is handling the new addition quite well. Still enjoying living in the Bay Area with our house in the suburbs. Still writing SciFi, but not actively seeking publication at this point. More than anything, I'm enjoying being a dad, something I never even considered back in the day when I hung out with you folks at SaMo. Still hoping to see you all at the reunion. Till then, and if not, best wishes to all.
Hi, I'd like to keep in touch with any of my classmates, and if you are in the Dallas area all the better!
Coupeville, WA 98239
My name is Claudia HEATH (Brocki). I met Rex Brocki at
SAMOHI (also class of '75). We married in 1976, and had a lovely
daughter. We maundered through the years and ended up here on
Whidbey Island in northwest Washington state. Rex is a Real Estate
developer and builds low income housing. I am a Real Estate Broker,
but I am taking a hiatus to write another novel, some short stories,
and a play.
I am looking for several students(Shelly Voshell -class of 76),
and Connie Dalton (did not attend SAMOHI, but was an SM native).
I am also very anxious to contact the following faculty members:
Miss Rollins and Dan Morrison. My uncle is Brian Keith, and as
you probably know, we lost him the summer of 1997, so I would
like to hear from anyone who liked his work. Thanks alot, and
as Bob Hope would say: "Thanks for the memories."

SANTA MONICA CA
I spent twelve years in Europe and returned in 1997. Now I'm back in Santa Monica with my Swiss wife Simone and our two daughters Jana and Emma (age 4 and newborn. Had the good luck this year to get a tenure track position teaching photography at Cerritos College. So much more.
Life is great. Still surfing living on the beach in carlsbad with my great wife and 2 boys
1975-1998: "Character Building". (Isn't that what you call it when stuff doesn't go your way?) 1999-2000: Met and married an AWESOME woman of God. (We are a perfect match: mutually boring!) Plans to adopt a child continue (which she began before we met). 2002: Relocate to central Washington. Who'da thunkit? Surrounded by orchards on all four sides. We get hot, we get snow, we get bugs. But there's nothing we don't like about it up here. (Never thought I'd leave So Cal.) Not only that, sister Laura (class of '77) and her family and our dad all moved up here at the same time! 2004: Spent several weeks in January and February in SIBERIA (duh!) meeting and adopting TWO really cool cats named (Joshua)Dmitry (2 1/2) and (Peter)Sergei (13 mo). Most folks raise kids the "traditional" way: get 'em when you're young. But no, we got 'em now that we're OLD. Wouldn't trade it! Hope to visit So Cal later in the year, but don't know if we can be there in August.

Bend OR
Happily married for seven years, Patti and I have a three year old son in addition
to a 15 y.o. son from Patti's previous marriage. We live in Bend, Oregon, a
nice high-desert ski town in the shadow of Mt. Bachelor. After high school,
I went to Humboldt State University and the Colorado School of Mines (Mining
Engineering) and worked in precious metals (mining, refining, brokering, banking),
computer programming (burned out, too tedious) and then back to banking, except
this time dealing in banking securities transactions. We're also involved in
property development in the Bend area. I've worked from home for the last 16
years and very much enjoy it. After flying as a private pilot since 1984, I
earned my commercial pilots license in 1998 and for the last several years I've
been a pinch-hitter corporate pilot for a local cellular company. After twenty
years, I still find aviation to be challenging and deeply rewarding. Despite
my dislike as a teenager of learning new things (sound familiar anyone?), I
find myself constantly searching for new and challenging business and personal
pursuits. It's an addiction...
Hi everyone! If you haven't already heard, our 30-year reunion is scheduled for August 13, 2005! Be sure to go to www.greatreunions.com to update your contact info. You can also buy your ticket(s) and submit your bio information for the Memory Book. We'd like to put together some type of presentation. If you have any pictures or memorabilia you'd be willing to share, please let me know. Please contact me at Samohi75@aol.com. See you in a few months!!
Hi friends! Its great to visit this site and see your familiar names and faces. We live in Simi Valley still close to "home". My lovely wife Patrice and I have been married for 18 years, we have three kids, and, incredibly, we are going to be grandparents very soon!! We enjoy spending time together as a family, camping in our motorhome, and raising and showing our Polish Lowland Sheepdogs.
I just discovered this site! How great to hear how everyone is these days. It'll be 30 years since graduating coming up in 2005! I've been divorced for 10 years, & have two fantastic kids! My son, Tyler, is 17,(a senior now) & my daughter, Kayla, is 14 (a 9th grader). They are both on the swim team at their High School & my son also has his own punk rock band, called "A Tragic Hero". He plays bass. (I think you can check out their band at myspace.com). We've lived in the Bay area for 24 years now. San Francisco for 4 years in San Jose now for the last 20 years. In 1981 I got my degree in Science & Nursing from San Diego State University as well as becoming a registered nurse. Still good friends with a couple people from our class in High School; Chris Smith and Mark Egbert mostly. For those of you who knew my little sister, Tami, We were like best friends our whole lives. Vert sadly, Tami passed away in 2001. (She was only 42 yars old). I miss her so very much!!! She moved to ! Humboldt,(Arcata, CA), in 1976 and never left there. She loved the Redwoods! She graduated from Humboldt State in 1980. We all had a "Celebration of Tami's Life and a goodbye" for Tami on her birthday, the year that she died. In addition to all of her Humboldt County friends, the day also brought together some great old friends from Samohi: Mark Egbert, Chris Smith, Priscilla Durso & Beba Becerra, (We all scattered her ashes in the Ocean). It was a very emotional experience for us all and one that none of us will ever forget. I am looking forward to coming to the 30 year Reunion. I've not been to any of the High School reunions so far, so this should be fun. Would love to hear from anyone I knew back in the days...(See my e-mail address). Until then...Take Care.. May Peace & Love abound for all...
Here I am living the typical suburban life in Encino (couldn't afford a house in Santa Monica). Never thought I'd be a "Valley Girl". Married for almost 10 years and have a son, Alex, 8 and a daughter, Cia Viana, 5. I quit Verizon after 23 years to be a stay-at-home mom and run my Mary Kay business in between school field trips, Boy Scouts, piano, swim and roller skating lessons. I never thought I'd enjoy this kind of life but I do. Still love to hear from anyone who remembers me from SAMOHI even though I made it a point to be there as little as possible. Anyone making sure their kids don't do the same things you did too?
After a 25 year "engagement", I finally married the woman of my dreams! Alas and alack, I was engaged to Joscelyn Curtis (a Culver City High grad) while attending Santa Monica College. Suffice it to say, we were the right people at the wrong time back in 1978, and went different directions. Thanks to a Google search on her part, Joscelyn and I were reunited 25 years later and were married in December of 2003. We are now the happy "newlyweds" with an instant blended family of 5 children and, (gulp), a grandson. Guess I learned to never say never, and to keep my dreams alive. Hoping the same comes true for all you romantics out there!
Thank you to all who joined in and came to the reunion. It was great to see everyone agian and hopefullu we can all get together again soon. I still live in Santa Monica, have my Masters degree in education and love teaching my kindergartners at a private school in Beverly Hills. I also have written several children's books. Would love to hear from everyone! email me!
After graduating from Samohi, I attended UCLA, where I eventually earned a BS in Biology and a PhD in Molecular Biology. Spent a few years doing research at Cal Berkeley, before starting my own research group at the University of Missouri. I love the Midwest (!), but I also have many fond memories of Santa Monica: a great place to grow up!
Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
After graduation I moved to Northern California, attending college there and in Colorado. Stayed in Lake Tahoe for awhile, married, had a beautiful daughter. She is now twenty, attending school and living in Reno. Moved to Lake Havasu, back to Northern CA (became a widow). Then Whidbey Island, WA. I am now in North Carolina (work), trying to get back to the West. It's been great getting in touch with all my old friends. I am looking forward to the reunion. I hope to be living closer to S.M. by then.
I would have graduated in 1975..however, ended up leaving in 1974. I also attended Lincoln Jr. High. I would doubt that anyone would remember me as I was a major wall flower. But, you just never know. I have four...count um' four kids ages 24 to 11...I would love to hear from those of you out there that remember as time passes way to quickly.
Hello everyone. I've been married to Rivka Widerman and living in New York City (Manhattan) for the past 16 years. I'm starting out in a new profession: landscape architecture.

Much water under the bridge...too much to list here...and loving life. While in New Zealand in November I made an appointment with an immigration attorney to start the process of obtaining my residency there. Totally random choice off the web and guess what...he was a student of Samohi and graduated in '76! Small world indeed! Got me interested in sussing out the yearbook and seeing if I recognized his 29 year old picture. Cheers.

I'm now a "full-time" RVer traveling throughout the USA along with my wife of 23 years and our beautiful 9 year old "camp'in" kitty Maya. We have been semi-retired and traveling since early spring 2000. We now enjoy seeking partime employment as a "Camphosts" couple in campgrounds and National Parks in states of interest. A GREAT lifestyle choice! See the Escapees.com link for details on full-time RVing services.

I graduated in 75 and promptly left to be a River Rafting Guide in Arizona and Alaska. I lived in Alaska (Anchorage) from 1977 to 1980, and then returned to SoCal to go to school. My dad encouraged me to go to Techinical School, so I enetered the arena of hardware repair and sales, where I stayed til 1985, when I was married to a Co-Worker, and an Engineer (I have always understood them.... as sick as that may be!!)
In 1988, my only son, Daniel was born. In 1990, looking for the 'better life', we moved to Spokane, Washington. My husband was a Project Manager for a laptop manufacturing company, and I was a stay-at-home-Mom. That job was unceremoniously eliminated October of 1992, and my father passed away in March of 1993. June of '93 I returned to OC to repair and maintain my dad's home and have been here ever since.
Life is basically good in Republican RV Land. I play hockey, tennis, am divorced since 1995, love my rock and roll, and am a faithful employee of a large multi-national corporation with a terrible environmental record...... ahhhhhh, where did my high-minded principles go??
Does anyone know how to contact any of the following people?:
Steven Kiser, Mike Fenton, Ben Chesne, Todd, Todd, what was his last name (he went to SMASH too), Karen Kiser, Jeff Hickey, or Gary Kiser? I suppose everyone knows how to contact Michael Penn, but I am not sure he would remember us little folks..........
cya! ROCK ON!!
