Hi all,
I'm living in Manhattan Beach, California with my wife Mary and four month old beautiful daughter Gabriela. I'm presently CEO of an Internet company called How2TV based in Los Angeles. We are doing very well and I'm learning something new everyday. I play as much golf as I can fit in and go to the beach the balance of my free time. Would like to hear from other alums.
Still living on the Westside. Loving my darling daughter Gemma, 9yrs old.
Where has everyone been?! In all these years I haven't seen
a sole - it's almost like everyone split to distant corners of
the planet! I've been working in Wall Street as an institutional
trader for years and years now. . .too many to count. After high
school, I became engrosed in the stock market and after a stint
at college, I hustled my ass off and got a job as a clerk and
then a broker on the floor of the Pacific Stock Exchange with
Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette. Later I became an institutional
broker at the then Beverly Hills NYSE firm of H.J. Meyers &
Co. Life lesson: "School is expensive" and the tuition
that Wall Street exacts is a heavey toll. I'm still single, live
in Redondo Beach, Ca and travel quite frequently. Life passions
are still snow skiing, fishing, hunting (with Tony Steenolsen),
scuba diving, flying, traveling, chess and yes, dancing. Hey,
where are you Michelle Cole? Claudia Gomez? (too great dancers
worth mention)P.S. Has anyone seen Mark Hines as !
Cyle Stone - oh boy! Hope to see many of you at the next renunion
- ouch, 20 year! Love to hear from the Samo gang; send notes,
pictures, jokes, etc to e-mail. . . later, Glenn
Still here In Santa Monica. My Oldest Son Is Now A SAMOHI Viking. I Have 3-kids. Jeremiah-15, Caleb-13 & Nicole-10.

Washington, DC 20015
I have been living in Washington DC for the past 18 years. Originally came here to attend graduate school after my undergraduate studies at Berkeley but got hooked on politics, got married and had a couple of great kids (Nate 8 1/2 and Sophia 6)and never left. Worked on sustainable energy issues for a Senate Committee for 8 years before moving on to more of the same at the US Agency for International Development. I am currently the Director of Development for an environmental non-profit organization in DC. Trying to save the world one kilowatt at a time. Would love to hear from old friends especially those alumni who may be in the DC area or just passing through. We get to Los Angeles a couple of times a year and seem to run into Samohi Alums each time (mostly at Douglas Park in Santa Monica)!

Wow - what a flashback. High school seems like a lifetime ago, but at the same time, I have so many vivid memories, it's hard to believe it was really that long ago. After Samohi, I graduated from UCLA (undergrad) then Loyola Law School. I worked as an attorney for about 11 years before giving up the grueling large law firm life. I lived in Santa Monica until the end of 2001, then headed to San Diego where I met my husband (Karl). We now live in San Jose with our Lab mix, Eden (no kids but lots of travel!). I work for Cisco in strategic finance and underwriting, and Karl (a serial entrepreneur) is working on a new start up in the mobile telecom space. I'm still in touch with some of my friends from high school, but it would be great to hear from others. P.S. The photo was taken after a hot air balloon ride in San Diego

Am Mommy of three rescue kitties - Oreo, Xica, and Brina - who are all overweight and are currently on Atkins-like diet for kitties (high protein, low carbo).

Greetings and salutations, I just stumbled on this great website. I hope everyone
is doing well in life after 1981. I'm surprized that I'm still alive after the
early 80's. I have a house in Westside Village which is a snooty way of saying
West Los Angeles with my wife Karen of 15 years( ouch! ), our 10 year old son
Sean and Otis the nut case dog. After going into the Marine Corp and then coming
out I became a firefighter/paramedic with the City of San Gabriel. I hope to
have my Masters Degree completed sooner than it took me to finish my AS degree(
Note to self: Too much beer/ drugs, fun,etc. equals six years for a two year
degree). In my spare time I teach at UCLA Center for Pre-Hospital Care and have
an EMS training company with a friend from work. The family and I can be seen
at local hiking,shooting,hunting,dirtbiking,camping areas, and sporting events
in and around California. I would love to get together with some of the old
crew from Samo! Get in touch and ! I will throw another steak on the BBQ and
make sure the keg is fresh! See ya, Murph Take it easy! Murph

Since leaving sunny California in 1981, I have done a lot of moving around...Maine, Hawaii, Florida and now North Carolina. I've had my own art business and have been in the mortgage business of 7 years. I've recently given that up and now I'm making a living at baking cakes. I've settled down here in North Carolina and I'm getting married in 7 days. I have 2 children, my son Michael will be 24 years old next month and my daughter Loretta will be 21. Although I was not very popular there at Samohi, I'm sure my brother Joe Scarangello was. I would love to hear from some of you even if you don't remember me!
I graduated from Temple University and have been working as a sports writer and editor since 1987. I am currently working for the Bucks County Courier Times. I am married (my wife is Rebecca) and had a son (Spencer Thomas Schiele) in Feb. 2002. Sorry I missed the reunion, but I promise to be at the next one. Hope all is well with everyone.
How great to reconnect with the class of 81 with a technology we would never have imagined when we graduated. I live in San Diego, so sclose to LA, but have lost touch with just about all my old friends, except Janet Barak, who lives in Australia. Am married for seven years, no kids yet, and manage a Williams-Sonoma store. Would love to hear from old friends, really loved growing up in SM, and miss it.
Hi Guys, Just a few words for anyone who's interested. After graduating from SDSU bought a one-way ticket to Europe with the intention of returning after 1 year to start the career... Still living in England with my two boys and my dog. I'm working in the special needs department of our local high school specialising in kids with Asperger's. Still playing volleyball and practicing yoga. Hope to move back to Santa Monica one day... Get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!
Hey All Even after 20 some odd years I really do not have much to say to ya'all. Still I would be real interested in hearing from anyone that remembers me, even the people from grade school. I went from Grant, John Adams then Samohi for those that think they know me.
About me? Never married. I have kicked around most of the western states as a commercial CADD instructor for the last 20 years. I have been living in Boise Id for the last 4 or so years. It's real nice up here, I think I will stay for a while. I guess I am still in the same things now as I was back in Samo sports, outdoors, computers and the like.
As for the picture? Well there are three alums in it. Myself and Two Curries. I will let you try to figure which ones we are. LOL Well Hope to hear from you. Lonnie
I am divorced and have two great kids. I am living in the San Fernando Valley and working as a produce consultant in downtown Los Angeles.
