Comments:

Life is good for me since we moved to the Buffalo Niagara region 20 years ago in 1995. I am working at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, playing tennis, running, sailing and skiing. Love to travel with my family. My work is in the area of human genetics, ce3ll biology and molecular biology. Its challenging but difficult at times.

Hoping all of you are happy and doing well. On a sad note I lost my brother Bill (class 1966) at age 60 y after a car accident in Denver just before Christmas in 2008. He is survived by his wife of 40 years Naomi (MVHS class of 1966), his three children and 4 grandchildren. I often teased him about being "Mr. Dudley Do Right" as he always did the right thing. He is missed greatly by his family, friends and coworkers in Denver.

I wish you all the very best of joy and happiness in your lives. If you are ever back to see Niagara Falls area please give me a call!

School Story:

I will always remember pouring those cement slabs with the Interact Club under the leadership of Carlos Mediola and Mr. Tom Ybarrola. We took them up to the mountain overlooking the valley in the spring of 1969 to make the first M on the side of the mountain.

Mr. Mediola shared a great spirit of enthusiasm and inspiration with many of us who attended Moreno Valley High School. He truly was a big man who made others feel big. My prayers are with his family and friends. He lead many of us to community service and taught us the lesson of giving to others without the expectation of any reward other than respect for others and self respect. He and and all of the teachers at Moreno Valley High School were always looking out for us.

Thank each and every one of you and the teachers who suffered having me in your classes. It was beyond cruel and unusual punishment at times I am sure.

Hi Heather
Are you coming to the reunion?
Here are my plans. Flying into Ontario Airport Thursday night at 10 pm and departing from the same Sunday at 11 pm.

Otherwise I am completely open.
Do you know others who are coming?
