What's New?: I have lived in Michigan since 1971, when I came to do
graduate work at the University of Michigan. I worked
at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Motor
Vehicle Laboratory from 1974 to 2004. I'm retired now.
I love Ann Arbor, but hate the winter. I'm thinking of
spending January through March in California. If
anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

What's New?: I attended my Freshman and part of my sophomore year
at Awalt, before my family moved and I finshed high
school at Homestead. All the memories...such a great
school. I enjoyed my Russian class with Mr. Mankowski,
and English with Mr. Birdsall. Many years later I was
in Seattle on a sleepy Sunday morning looking for
something to do in the newspaper and came across a
gallery listing for a Byron Birdsall...now how many
Byron Birdsalls can there be? So we took the time to
check out the showing and of course it was the very
same person. Evidently he moved to Alaska and became a
well known artist...in fact one of his pieces was on
the cover of the Anchorage phone book.
A few years ago my home burned and all of my yearbooks
went up too so I have no resource for remembering
except my fading memories...37(!)years takes it's
toll. Well, if any of you recollect me I would love to
hear from you...and if you know where Joanne Marino,
or Nancy Marshall or Traude von Steht are now please
tell them to contact me, OK?

school.

What's New?: Nancy (Harrison '66) and I celebrated our 30th
anniversary this last January. Living in the Santa
Cruz Mtns. for over 20 years now. general contractor
mainly doing custom remodels in Los Altos and Los
Altos Hills for the past 20+ years, and Nancy makes
sure i actually make a profit. Currently trying to
renew my interest in photography and get my "eye"
back.
I find my real spiritual self when sailing
however. I took up racing rather athletic small
sailboats 15 years ago and though physically and
mentally demanding, i find a real inner peace when on
the water. Never was much of a surfer because i prefer
to be on the water not in it :^)
I just went bigboat sailing with Rusty Sabella, my
best friend through high school, even though he was
Los Altos '65, lead singer of "The Fugitives" you may
recall. We hadn't seen each other in nearly 30 years!
wow, hard to believe.
I hope all is well with everyone, I have no complaints
and so much to be grateful for.
