I just received a phone call from my brother, David (Jax Beach) who has been in contact with Rosemary Skinner, wife of legendary coach, Leonard Skinner. They are connected on Facebook of which I am not. She's now 88 years old and lives in Ortega Forest or Farms (?). Her daughter, Susie Moore (Confederate Point), is working with a film production company out of Atlanta on an exploratory project about her dad. I called her up and we had a 45 minute conversation about the project and lots of nostalgia about her dad. She was 10 years old at the time we graduated, and like many females we knew, she had a crush on Dick Kaysen (rest his soul) Lol. She's meeting with the producer next Tuesday at a Hilton somewhere off Roosevelt (?). Susie told me she's trying to get in touch with Coach Barrett, but so far unsuccessfully. She mentioned Hans and Terry Wallace as well. I told her I haven't seen Hans since the 50th Reunion and Terry has been known to engage on Classmates from time to time. We talked about Bucky Husk but I told her he might be the most elusive to find. Anyway, since Terry has been known to use Classmates, as well as Hans, some of you maybe able to contact them and have them call me. I don't really know where this going other than what I've described but it appears this will focus on Coach Skinner. For me that's 1967-69 and for my brother it's 1968-1970 (he was on the team when coach was let go). So if anyone of you can assist me with any of the folks mentioned above, the family would be interested. I have a Zoom contact set up for next Tuesday at 5pm. Eastern Time with these people. Life is still good in Northern California and I hope all is well with everyone. Sorry I'll miss the reunion this year. Tom Nixon
