From Renee:Tempted to leave this as "NYC mystery woman"... but in renewing old friendships I'm enjoying and appreciate hearing what each of you has been up to so here's where I've been (for OMG 50 years!!): Married (Tooley) while in high school, divorced in college. Left Franklin HS early, graduated Winter '62 and went to PCC and UCLA, then UT/Austin. A year in Boston, and then NYC, Greenwich Village, my childhood fantasy. Tried acting, and then went to law school. Was an Assistant DA in Manhattan for 10 years; then a NYSE trial attorney; currently I do reinsurance claims involving Ds&Os and others. I have one wonderful daughter as a single parent.

Occupation:Retired Marital Status:Married No. of Children:1 Graduation Year:1962

From Pat:I didn't think I would ever see our 50th reunion!! That would make us really old! Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this reunion but I hope all of you who attend enjoy every minute of the reunion.

I live in Montana with my husband of 56 years - Jerry - we have one wonderful daughter who lives in So. Cal. We are very lucky to have a very active social life here (although we are very remote here), with parties, diners, trips, etc. Our group numbers 22 during the summer.

My husband retired from the LAPD as a homicide detective. He now has a Private Investigator's business and that keeps him busy. He plays golf, and loves to travel.

I retired as an Executive Assistant to the Chairman and CEO of a very large company. I, too, like to travel and paint and enjoy the wonderful place we have in Montana. We have 40 acres of land with two beautiful meadows and a river that runs through our property and lots of wildlife - just had a bear outside on our driveway last week.

Again, hope you all have a wonderful reunion.

Birthday:November 18, 1944 Occupation:Concessionaire Marital Status:Married

From Dave:

After high school I enlisted in the Army (National Guard). After active duty I worked for Southern Pacific as a switchman. In 1966 I left Highland Park and worked for Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for ten years. Summers were spent working at Crowley Lake for the City of Los Angeles. I still love to go trout fishing in the eastern Sierras.

In 1976 I started a mobile food concession business. I still flip hot dogs at three fairs and StageCoach Music Festival. I also own a bar and restaurant at the Off Track betting facility (horse racing) at the Indio Fairgrounds. I have lived in the Coachella Valley since 1987.

A memo to my old roommate Manuel Rangel, since when did you become “Manny”? Are you kidding me? As far as I am concerned you are still “Manuel Labor”, remember that?

Occupation:retired small engine repair business Marital Status:Married No. of Children:2 Graduation Year:1962

From Quenton "Lee" : Lee, here.. I graduated at 5’2” and grew 8” more to be 5’10”. I went to Pierce College and then on to Cal Poly, SLO. I got my draft notice then, so I joined the navy instead and did West Pac. duty on a repair ship built in 1944. I reconnected with Jonathan Pinne in Taiwan who was on conventional submarine duty. Came back home and went to motorcycle repair school. Met my wife, Robin, of 38 years, at “Under the Ice House” in Glendale.

We moved to Santa Barbara where I went to SBCC. I took business classes and majored in auto repair. We had a chance to move to northern California and we took it. We bought 20 acres of raw land with no power, no phones, no running water or conventional toilet. Ron Bonfiglio came up to help us build our first cabin.

I had a small engine and auto repair business. Robin worked as a school nurse for the school district. We had bees for honey, chickens, fruit trees, and gardens. We raised 2 children. Jake, our son, was murdered 13 years ago and we miss him still. Lauren, our daughter, now married, gave us our first grandchild this year. We are both retired now and enjoy the country as always. We walk every evening and sit in our chairs, looking up at the night sky for falling stars.

From Bruce:After graduation, I attended Occidental college where I majored in biology. I married a fellow Oxy student, Linda Stroop, just after graduation in June 1966. We both spent the first few years of our marriage in graduate school at UCLA. While Linda eventually completed both Masters and PhD degrees, I dropped out to work for the Forest Service on the Angeles National Forest. For twenty years, I worked at Chilao, and both of our children, Sarah and Lorianne, were born while we were living in a government residence in Chilao Campground. In 1991, I transferred to the Forest Service office in Washington DC, and we moved to Warrenton, where we now live. I worked at Forest Service headquarters for almost ten years, and then moved to USDA headquarters where I managed a staff office. I retired at the end of 2009, but Linda is still teaching math at the local community college where she has worked for many years.

We are both looking forward to the reunion.
