Lynn Nielsen Sherlock

Just wanted you to know what a great job I think you're doing. Looking over all those wonderful activities brings a tear to my eye, mostly because I cannot attend! It does sound like great fun, I wish I could be there. My new store is opening the first of October. If anybody gets up this way it's Serendipity Quilts & Crafts, 1977 Central Ave., McKinleyville, CA (about 15 miles north of Eureka). This will be the last time I DON'T attend, I most definitely will be there next time. Hope you all have a wonderful time, as I'm absolutely sure you will. Hope to see you someday soon.

Virginia Floyd Pitts

I love Classmates.com. Please send me a message just to say HI. I lived in Simi Valley for 20 years. Now I'm divorced and live in Encino with my two grand sons. I would love to hear from everyone in the class of '66

Chris Bergen

Anyway, as much as I'd like to attend the reunion (I really am curious about everyone), I'm afraid I won't be able to. I'm one of very few members of an unusual profession: opera translating for what they call supertitles--translations shown above the stage or on the backs of the seats during performances. I do it for the Metropolitan Opera, the Santa Fe Opera, Los Angeles Opera, and a lot of other companies. Since high school I learned French, German, Italian, and Russian, which suits me for that weird job. Anyway, October is when things really heat up for me, making it hard to leave New York. I'm on my second marriage, no kids, live with my wife, dog, and cat in a house ten miles outside of NY in Montclair, NJ. After getting a master's in history from Yale I worked at the UN in Vienna, Austria, then came back to the states and decided I wanted to work in the arts, and got the job as translator at San Francisco Opera, where I worked for thirteen years. In 98 I moved east, and there you have it. Also, now it can be told: in high school I was hopelessly in love with Sandy Malloy (now Klein, I think?). All the best, Chris

Sorry I missed the 35th reunion. Did they serve a high fiber dinner? Any teacher still living would be the ones I would recommend contacting.

More a year later: Great website! It was fun looking at familiar faces and remember the days when... Must be getting old! No, Never!!!

What a shock to see my face in the Sherman Oaks Elementary School A6 Class Photo 1960. I'm the girl in the 3rd row #4, the brunett,now with long blond hair. You can check out a poster of me on the internet as The Unicorn Princess, with white unicorn horses and the moon in purple tones. My name has changed and I have a crazy history. I own a 1968 black/silver T-top Sport Coupe Mako Shark 427/435hp Tri-power Roadster Corvette and it takes 100% octane, so I only drive it to shows. I am a licensed radio operator and work as a emergency communications volunteer with the fire department. My career has covered a vast area from working as a professional dancer, model and actress with SAG, AFTRA & Equity to owning my own business, associate producer to a technical writer, administrative, computers, aerospace and defense to city utilities,the fire department and construction fields etc. I remember going to Bob's Big Boy and cruising down Van Nuys and Ventura Blvd with older friends, then going to the drive-in and drag racing on Mulholland Drive and! a group of us would go up to an area called ghost mountain. I went on to attended Van Nuys Jr. High were they had the greasers and surfers. I would love to attend a reunion. I live about 40 miles from the valley.

David Kaplan

Hope to hear from you out there!

Gail Figner

I have recently changed my e-mail address and found this page. I've enjoyed all of the reunions to date and am looking forward to the 40th. It's hard to believe isn't it? I was married from 1968-2002 when my husband died of cancer. No kids. Still a legal secretary since 1967. Looking forward to retirement in 2009 (unless I win the lottery). Good news - I'm getting married on New Year's Eve (Dec. 31, 2004) in Cancun, Mexico. Wonderful guy, Clarke Latimer. We've been together since July 2003. Hope everyone will be able to meet him at the 40th.

I attended Monroe High for most of high school, but finshed my last semester at Van Nuys. It was a great school and a fun time.... Especially "Sports Night" dances held in the Girl's Gym!.....My best friends at Van Nuys were Laura Gottlieb and Valerie Anderson....I noticed that her brother, Roger, attended the 35th Reunion....

Mike Purcell

Been awhile since the 25th reunion (my last), so it was great reading the bios of all my classmates to see where people had migrated to. I'm still in the field of science (physics & engineering), solving problems, and traveling. I hope to see a few of you at the reunion in Feb 2005.

I live in Viet Nam most of the time, I only travel back to Australia once in a while.My Vietnamese family never wants to go anywhere else but Vietnam.They couldn't think of anything worse than leaving there country ore there extended family. I was captured once during the war, and got free somehow, than I stayed in the army in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969 this is when I knew that I needed to live in Vietnam.It is very hard for me here sometimes, but harder for me to live in a Western country.

Stephanie Awerkamp

Harold Dieckman

Hello everyone from theSi Bonnais! I am unsure many would remenber me. I was not what you would call a popular kid in school. I played with a rock group called The Deltays In 1964-65 with Steve Stephonic, Merrill Bear, And Glen Eckes. We made our very first public appearance at a battle of the bands held in the VNHS gym. Also there was the band which had Bob ley on drums, Grant Webester on guitar and two others,which used to play the sports night dances. On the stage directly across from us was the band that had the song "BEAVER SHOT". I just learned of this web site on 8/18/11, and am really excited about it!!! I would LOVE to hear from any fellow Si Bonnais, especially the other members of THE DELTAYS, and Paul Globerson(whom I met in the first grade at Sherman Oaks Elementary), And Rusty Postel, who lived next door to one of my best friends, Jim Bursik. Again, Hello to everyone, and let me hear from you!!! Harold

Patricia Danam Lopez

I've been involved in the "Civil Rights Movement" since the 1960s. I was a face in the crowd in many walks, sit-ins, and marches. It was grueling sometimes, but our efforts helped change this country that needed changing. I'm glad that I have been involved. I'm preparing to write some books base on "oral histories" given to me about my American Indian (Native American) and Mexican American heritages along with my Danish and Russian heritages too. I have Arabic, Moorish and Jewish heritages on my Spanish side from Spain who came to now New Mexico in 1540. This is all on my mother's heritage. My Chinese,Mongolian, and Persian heritage from my Danish and Russsian father.

Gary Baker

After owning my own business for many years, I retired in 2008, to the simple life. Many people told me it would be impossible to retire and just play golf. Well, I have a single digit handicap, and continue to play golf 3 or 4 times a week. My wife and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in December 2014. We have one daughter who recently got married. She is an elementary school teacher, teaching in Bakersfield, CA. My wife and I are looking forward to finally becoming grandparents in the next few years.

Robert Osterloh

I looked at some of these names. I remember Shirley Roe was really smart. I had a class with her once and we were partners on a project. In not so many words (these are my own words) she told me 'stay out of my way and keep your f**kin' mouth shut.' I think I got my one and only A on that job. I paint, but I still can't keep my f**kin' mouth shut. robertcosterlohart.com/
