Sadly more and more of us will follow where deaths footsteps lead.  Hopefully not suffering.

Cherish the moments of our Class Reunion where seeing old friends and making new occurred.  Really enjoy classmates visits which never would have happened without the Reunion.  Thanks many times to the Reunion Committee. Please consider my hand up to volunteer in any fashion for the next Reunion.

If you are in SoCal in the Hemet area, we would love to see your smiling face.  Your room is ready. And of course we will beat you at games....

So sorry to learn about Kathy. Bill's term "spunky" perfectly sums up the Kathy I remember. She was friendly and fun. 

As another one who wasn't sure if the Reunion was 'right' for me, I'm so glad I made the decision to go. We are all definitely 'playing the back 9' now, and memories are much of what we will have left, so good ones like the reunion are important.

I just saw this notice in the Mercury News, reporting that Wayne Culp had passed:

Harry Bettencourt

Jim:  Thanks for the forum post about Wayne.  I am in Croatia and will be home in a little over one week.  I received a message about Wayne's death from his sister about one week ago; and emails from both Fred Kemmerle and Pete S about the obituary.  I will send out a notice when I get back as well as post Wayne's name to our "In Memory" list and make the changes on all of our internal documents  Hope you are doing well.  Harry

Wow, Harry. I'm jealous. If I had to choose a location outside the U.S. as my home, Dubrovnik would be high on my list. 

Harry Bettencourt

Dave:

Yes, we are lucky to to be here!  We spent 6 days in Prague (wonderful city and relatively cheap) and then headed to Dubrovnik (also wonderful but a bit more pricey) before coming here to Baska Voda.  My wife participates in a Wednesday hiking group at home and each year they take an international trip for a week of hiking; thus, Baska Voda, Croatia as the destination this year.  I decided to tag along this year because we are hotel-based and each day is a different hike from the base (rather than a hike from point A to point B to point C, etc.).  One group did a 8.5 mile hike today with about 2400 feet elevation gain; my group did 6.5 miles with 2000 feet of elevation gain.  The views were spectacular!  Hope you are doing well.  If you want more info about Dubrovnik I would be happy to share where stayed, where we ate, what we saw etc..  Harry

Hi Andy: 

It IS a beautiful place!  We did a 7.5 mile hike today and then just came in from a swim in the Adriatic.  It was cold but felt good after traversing the Bikovo mountains all day.  Hope you are doing well!

Sending a hearty HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tom Carrato on his birthday. It mirrors my son's (44th). Sorry I didn't get it on yesterday, but was in the air returning from a fishing trip in CO.  Best to you and Melody. Pat

Viola:

Thanks for the New Year greeting.  Good to see that Jackie sends her greetings, too!  Yes, I agree that 2017 whizzed by but it seems that is the case each year as we "mature".  Enjoy your time with family in Missouri and best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2018!

Tomorrow it will be a year that we lost Harry. So sad.  I got an e Mail from him when his grandson was born, he was so happy.  I told him that he will love watching him grow, and going to all of his little league games.  I even sent him a picture of me and my grandson with his little league trophy.  I told Harry,  I said to my daughters that grandchildren are so great that we should have had them first.  He loved that line and said he was going to use it.  I saved all his e mails.  I believe if you looked up nice guy in the encyclopedia you would find his picture. 
We miss you Harry,  you were truly a nice guy.

I have been in Ca for 4years now taking care of my mom who will be 100 this Sept. I drive by Carlmont all the time and it is amazing how much it has grown.

John Hacker

I did not know Harry that well, because I was a transfer from Seattle during my Junior year (late).

However Harry made me feel like we were old friends.

Since then we had discussed my work with homeless Veterans in california, and now in North carolina where I have officially retired.

Harry touched so many people, close froeinds and those who just crossed his path and made small talk at school and later in adult life.

We all should count our blessings to have met Harry, how lucky we are.

Does anyone happen to know if Francis Ferry was a Navy pilot in World War II? I just watched a YouTube video on the sinking of the Japanese battleship Yamato, and there was an interview with the pilot of a Navy "Helldiver" dive bomber named Francis Ferry. and it looked just like him, but much older.
