What's New?: After 20 years of living back in Los Altos, I have
recently moved to Calistoga in Napa Valley with my
husband. I still come down to visit my mother
regularly and, in fact, my twin sister Linda still
lives in Los Altos as well.
I was disappointed that we didn't have a 40th reunion
last summer but hope to get in touch with some
friends this way and maybe put something together.
Heard that the water polo team had a reunion this
past fall and had a great time.
Looking forward to getting reacquainted.

What's New?: Hi, I moved to Ashland in 1997 from Palo Alto because
I was able to convince my employers that I could tele-
commute very well. It has worked out but my hours are
slowly being reduced and I expect that I will be
retired soon. Life is good.

No children...only cats!
Hoping for a 50 year (can you belive it?) reunion..

What's New?: Oh what a difference a couple years make! I still
live in the same place at least. My boss retired
about 6 months ago and now I am starting my own
business doing work for attorneys and property
management (nice combo huh). I now have 2
grandchildren - boy and girl. What a treat. The 6-
year boyfriend is gone - another treat! Still trying
to travel as much as possible. I'm hoping Kathie
Bell will let me join her in Costa Rica in 2005. A
lot of Mexico in my future for the remainder of
2004. Hope you are all doing well out there.

About 4 years ago:
Hi everyone - At the moment, I live in Coronado (San
Diego), California. I have been a legal secretary
for
13 years and like it alot. I have one son that is 29
and one grandchild - she (Celeste) is 2. I have a
live
-in boyfriend and we've been together for about 3
years. For the last few years, I've been traveling
as
much as I can, skiing, camping, river rafting,
hiking,
etc. I actually met my boyfriend in a singles
camping
group. I hope to see you at a reunion in the near
future. If you haven't been to one yet, I highly
recommend them.

What's New?: 10/31/06
Can't believe it's been 40 yrs and I'm knocking hard on
60! I'm even a grandfather of twins! Was there a 40th
reunion? I attended the 20th, but missed #30.

Even though I was at Awalt for only 2 yrs, I made some
good friends and still have fond memories (well they're
not all fond!) of that time. After graduation, I went
to UCB, but was lonely, unhappy and disillusioned what
with the war, the draft, etc. I dropped out after a
year and a half and spent almost the next 20 yrs as a
woodworker designing and building, ultimately ending
with a small cabinet and fine furniture making business.

Career #2 began with taking some classes at local jc's.
I swam for Laney College and also on a Master's team in
Berkeley for many years where I met my wife, Marcia. I
returned to UCB, but instead of studying architecture
as everyone thought I would, I got a degree in
molecular biology. This led to some interesting work
including electron microscopy, work on the Human Genome
Project, some cancer research and looking for genes
that may be involved in alcoholism.

Career #3 was a radical departure into the automotive
world. I bought a dynamometer with which I can measure
a car's performance, tune them (usually for max power)
and test various devices I design and build. I do quite
a bit of computer simulation of airflow over car bodies
and through intake and exhaust systems. I'm currently
building an engine that will reside in a Porsche to
challenge the 253 mph speed posted by the Bugatti
Veyron. I'm also working with a friend to form a
company that will do automotive R&D, build race cars
for ourselves and customers, experiment with new
materials and processes, etc. Also working on several
ideas that might even make some money!!

And now there's a concurrent career that grew out of my
wife having a stroke last year. It has been a brutally
difficult and sad year and a half and our lives have
changed dramatically. Marcia is recovering slowly,
having progressed from not being able to sit upright to
walking (with some assistance still). We're working
very hard to bring more life back to her left arm and
hand. Due to some major deficiencies in the Kaiser
system, I've had to manage Marcia's recovery and learn
a great deal about physical and occupational therapy.
I've also made hand splints since there are so few
decent ones available comercially. My heart has been
torn apart from the devastation I've seen in Marcia's
life and the lives of many other stroke victims I've
met. To see someone go from "normal" function to
paralysis and mental impairment overnight is just
incomprehensible to me. As a result, I'm considering
getting a PT degree in hope of helping some of these
folks recover what was so suddenly and cruelly stolen
from them.

I see Steve Kessler periodically at the Berkeley Bowl
Market. I've wondered what happened to some of my other
chums, Jon Nelson (glad to see he's on the list), Linda
Lee, Robbie Halstrom, Pete Rowe, Dave Hargrove, Bill
Greene, John Hottendorf, Fred Klein, Diane McLoughlin,
Judy Moore, Barry Smith, Bob Sproule, my old doubles
partner Dave Trowbridge, Chuck Wade... Looking through
my musky old yearbook I was surprised at how many
claassmates I did not know.

It would be wonderful if a reunion were to magically
happen!

Cheers!

What's New?: I'm not sure if anyone remembers me as I was so shy
that I hardly spoke during my school years. 2008 is a
mile-stone year for most of us, the big 60. I haven't
been back to CA in many years because my parents both
died by the 1980's.

My life is wonderfully simple here in the Ozarks. My
husband of 28 yrs and I are semi-retired. I have an
in-home daycare that keeps me young at heart. My 42
yr old son and 40 yr old daughter have blessed me with
3 grandsons... they are the joy of my life!

What's New?: Hello fellow high school classmates! I just stumbled on
this web site and had a great time reading your bio's.
Here's a little bit about me:
After Awalt, I attended Linfield College for two years,
transferring to Eastern Washington University in
Cheney, WA. I graduated in March 1971 with a Business
degree. I joined the Washington State Army Reserve in
1969 and served until 1975.
Currently I am retired after 30 plus years in the
furniture industry, having owned a small store in Coeur
d' Alene with my wife.
I am happily married, have three grown adults and three
grandchild. My wife and I are avid motorcycle riders
and each own a GL1800 GoldWing; her's is triked and my
is the two wheel version.
Currently (2010) we are "wintering" in Lake Havasu
City, AZ enjoying a snow free season.
It would be a blast to hear from any of you. Please
drop me a line. I still have fond memories of High
School. What a great time it was!

What's New?: Hi,
After Awalt I went to UCSB and graduated in 1970. I
attended SJ State college for a year and then married
Uli Siebeneick. We lived in Germany (his home) for
eight years where our 2 children were born. Markus is
now 31 and Mieke is 26. We moved to New Jersey
shortly after Mieke's birth. I worked at various
jobs for the Catholic church, the Seeing Eye and now
the American Red Cross. Uli and I moved to the
Monterey Peninsula in 2003 and love being back in CA.
Mieke is married and living in NJ. This year we
became grandparents. That is an awesome experience.
It's just too bad they live in NJ.

2010 update: We just had our second grandchild this
summer. What a blast. Love the little ones.
Unfortunately, Mieke and Kevin moved to NC so we don't
see them as much as we would like. Markus is still in
San Francisco so we get to see him every couple of
months. Uli and I love living by the Monterey Bay.
He sails and works at the great Aquarium. I docent at
the Cathedral and still put in some time with the Red
Cross.

Anyone know how to contact Carolyn Hamasaki? I had
her email once and then my computer died and I lost
everything. Darn bugs!

Love the website. SOOOO much better than

What's New?: Alot has changed in my life this past couple of years.
My mother died on December 6, 2003 after a long
illness, and it was a tough time. I had been
looking into relocating to the Beaverton, Oregon area
when she died. I retired from my position as a
Public Safety Dispatcher with the Twin Cities Police
Department in Marin County on February 1, 2004, after
a 23-year career that I loved. I now have a beautiful
home in Beaverton, with wonderful neighbors and
gorgeous scenery. I worked at AAA for 11 months part
time as a call taker (hard work!), got bored, and now
work full-time again as a Booking Clerk in the
Washington County Jail. Guess I wasn't quite ready for
retirement after all. I finally graduated from college
last December with a BS in Emergency Management from
Cal State Long Beach, thanks to an amazing Distance
Learning Program they created for law-enforcement
people who do shift work. Attending my graduation with
my daughter last May was one of the great highlights
of my life!

My daughter, Wendy, is a Project Manager with Blue
Shield in San Francisco and has already passed the
dreaded 40 - YIKES! She is beautiful, funny, happy,
healthy, and I am very proud of her.

Don't know if we had a reunion last Summer. Would love
to see everyone again and catch up. I enjoy working
around my house, traveling, and getting together with
friends and family. And when I grow up I want to
be....well that keeps changing. Hope everyone is well

No alcohol, drugs nor smoke make its way inside me but

Three great sons. Brian, Kevin and Quinn. Heard those

Parker, Logan & Taylor.

What's New?: I've been married to Dean Macomber (Awalt class
of '65) for 37 years now, and we've been living in
Las Vegas for the past 20 years. Dean is in the
gaming industry, so we've lived in Atlantic City,
Lake Tahoe and now Vegas. We have two children, both
grown. Our son lives in the Bay Area, so Dean and I
fly there frequently to visit him, his wife, and our
beautiful new grandson. Our daughter just moved to
Las Vegas from San Francisco to attend law school,
and we're loving having her near.

I teach for Nevada State College and the University
of Phoenix. I don't think Dean will ever retire, but
we're talking about moving back to the Bay Area when
I retire so that we can be closer to the grandbaby.

It's great to be in touch with all of you! Wow! Has
it really been 40 years?

update 6/2006
We now have 5 great grandchildren and just met the

My husband Randy and I both went back to work after

Hope all are well.. Please feel free to contact me!

What's New?: Hi Guys
After Awalt I went to Foothill for a couple of years.
Then enlisted in the Army from 68 to 71, with two tours
overseas. Got back and was married with one son and a
daughter on the way. Guess what I just went back to
being a carpenter while I finish my education at
Stanford, Boulder and San Jose. More education than I
have ever used.

Got divorced in 1975 and remarried a couple of years
later. My wife Colleen and I will celebrate our 34th
anniversary next month.

I stayed in San Jose for almost 35 years and after 23
years in the building trades I finally used my
education and took a job at Applied Materials as their
Global Construction Manager. I got to travel way to
much but built some great buildings.

I retired in 2002 and relocated to a 10 acre parcel in
Anderson Ca. Just about 9 miles east of Redding.
Having fun fishing and running the Tax Payers
Association up. Work when I feel like which isn't much.

Have not heard from anyone from Awalt since I got back
from the service. Would love to hear from you now.

What's New?: Very happy to be able to connect up with the class in
some form, for this is the first time to make the
connection.

After graduating, attended San Jose State for a year
before transfering to Stanford. Traveled around the
world for a year, then started graduate school in
Buddhist Studies, finally ending up with a Ph.D. in
the field from U.C. Berkeley.

Taught at Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley for
over 15 years and served as Buddhist priest for 3
years in the bay area before getting a job as tenured
professor at a university in Tokyo, Japan, where we
now live. I love my job.

Imagine, a Japanese American teaching Buddhism to
Japanese students in a country where most of the
people are nominally Buddhists! What an intersting
world we live!I am on sabbatical this year, writing a
book in Japanese on "Buddhism in America"!

I return to California at least twice a year,
spending part of the summer at our house that we kept
in El Cerrito, next to Berkeley. This summer I took
our youngest, a 16 year old daughter, to Awalt. She
was impressed by the campus.

We have two other kids (boys), graduated
college (Harvard) two years ago (and now community
activist trying to "save the world") and another
going to college on the East
Coast (Tufts Univ.). The youngest is still a junior,
which means I
still have 6 years of tuition paying.

I've been wanting to connect up with the class of 66
for some time now, so am happy to be able to send
this in. Should any of you remember me and want to
connect up, I would love to hear from you. And once I
am accepted on this listing, I'll be able to connect
with some of your personally.

40 years is a long time, but some memories are
fresh. I enjoyed learning about those of you with
postings. Best wishes to you all.

What's New?: Hi All,

I graduated from the University of Arizona with a BA
in Linguistics. Am currently living in Colorado
Springs. I've got 3 grandchildren

My sister, Cathy Thackeray (Cardoza), class of '69

lives in the area, too. He's 39 years old now, and has
2 girls that call me Nana. ;-)

Best,

Gale Tasista, Linda Hiersch, Pat Burns, Lynn Sheerer,
Eileen Acker, Brad Brown, Carolyn Craig, Rosemary
Martini, Bob Drennan, Ray Messmer and many others.
Played baseball and graduated from U. Nev., Reno...2

What's New?: April 9, 2001, my wife Angie gave birth to twins, a
girl, Brooke Elizabeth and a boy, Matthew David.

Twins update. January 23, 2004, my wife Angie gave
birth to a second set of twins, two boys, William and
Samuel. That's right, a second set of twins! We are
blessed, but busy.

We live in San Francisco and enjoy the City life, but
often visit my Mom in Mt. View who is in good health
and still lives in the same house across from Awalt
where I lived when there.

I attended the Awalt water polo team reunion last
spring (May 2008). It was great to see classmates and
teammates Cliff McGuire, Marc Larivee, Stan Weiss,
Gary Sherer and others. Some of those guys are still
in pretty good shape and more funny than ever.

I don't play water polo any more, but I took up rugby
while in law school at Stanford. That has been my
main hobby since and I still play now and then.

I do commercial real estate investing. It is kinda of
like playing Monopoly with real money and I love it.
Retirement could never be this much fun.

It would be great to hear from any of you. '66 Rules!
