Hi Kathy,

Happy Birthday.  I really enjoyed talking with you at the reunion.  You look great and you still have that big smile.  Have fun today, I assume that Roger will make your day special.

God Bless you and those who you love.

Kathryn Davies (Mitchell)

Mark,

Thanks for the birthday wishes and kind words!  Yes, my dear husband is treating me well this weekend!

I am blessed!  68 isn't so bad after all.

Hey, guys.  Shameless plug coming!!

I carpool up to Sants Fe Springs every week from San Diego to sing in a men's chorus.  We won our society's international chapionship for the ninth time, last year.  (The Barbershop Harmony Society has about 25,000 members with contenders from 6 countries.)  We'll be doing two Holiday shows over the weekend of December 15-16.  You can see videos of us singing at https://www.mastersofharmony.org/2017-international-barbershop-chorus-champions-las-vegas-nv/, and see the flyer for this year's Christmas shows at https://www.mastersofharmony.org/shows/.

Hope to see some of you there!

Parking at Duke's. There are several options. Beach parking lots on the north and south sides of the pier, metered parking on the streets downtown, parking structures at Walnut and 3rd Streets, the main lot on the north west corner, the other across the street below the Black Bull Chop house. And of course valet at the front of the restaurant. Walnut is one block up Main and 3rd is to the right.

Peggy Steiner (Miller)

Mike, Sounds like a lot of fun, however we would't be able to make it this time.  Hope eveyone has a wonderful time.

Tom, I remember Bruce very well, had no idea Wanda had passed.  So sorry to hear of this.  Prayers to the family.

For those of you not on Facebook we lost another pirate a few days ago Roy Beckwith.

Randy Farina

Hello Mike, please put my name on the list, May 4th, Duke’s. Excellent food and they always have Rum. Looking forward to this get together

Mark Overstreet

I'm sorry to hear about Roy.  I didn't know him well, but had him in a class and we talked.  He joked around and was a very nice person, mild mannered, always had a smile, and always said hello.

I visted Gary and Lorie Buice last week.  Lorie is still working, she likes her job.  Gary retired years ago and does stuff around the house.  One of their sons, Jack, is coaching  the local high school football team  in Reno.  The team went to the state championship game several years in a row.  Bishop Gorman from Las Vegas beat them. Bishop Gorman was the number one high school football team in the nation. 

Art Salazar and I communicate, besides being a friend he's our Tax Man.  He just had an operation but I hope that he can make it to Duke's.  

It doesn't seem like were going to be 70 years old, but here we are acting like we're kids.  After a few drinks we can load up in the cars and go over to Bolsa Chica and have a beach party, that is if were not ready to go to sleep.

See ya al' soon.

Michael Monteleone

Hello fellow Pirates. The dinner at Duke's in H.B. scheduled for May 4th is only ten days away and I would like to know how many will be attending. I don't think we will have enough to reserve the banquet room but I would like  to make reservations as far in advance as possible. Randy Farina, 1 or 2? Mark Overstreet, 2? Robin Scott, 1 or 2? I may have missed any one else who responded on facebook, If you could respond here or call me direct, it would be greatly appreciated. THANKS. Mike 714-336-5848. If I don't pick up PLEASE leave a message.

Michael Monteleone

Oh, bye the way Mark, a beach party sounds like another good idea to get Pirates together. Maybe we can talk about it at Duke's. 

Carol Maddex (Switzer)

I saw on facebook where we lost another classmate Don Jerome. His passing was sudden. No deltails

Hey Tom, 

Thanks for the 4th shout out and wishing all the best to you and yours this holiday and always.

On the subject of maturing, what a nice reference to growing old gracefully. Baloney! Let's face it, we're getting OLD. I thought we were supposed to be mature about the time we graduated, ha ha!

Some of us were able to make it to Paramount Park for the annual Senior's event. Pictured are Ernie Cuellar(67) , Tom Farina(67), Jeanine May(67) and myself(68).  I only took one photo Manuel Alcarez(67), Olga Alcarez(69), Ofelia Cuellar(68), Angel Garcia(67). Robert Jimenez(69), Mrs. Troncoso(59), Ms. Garcia(69) and her sister(67) were there. I know that I missed some people so please excuse me.  We had a good time, always is.   Next event is at Paramount Park,  Oct. 12th. Pot luck picnic.

Art Salazar and I had lunch at Captain Kidd's in Redondo Beach, by the beach. He's recovering from his surgery and is looking towards being more active.  We've been good friends for over 50 years now. 

Mark Overstreet

My good friend Art was only one of two classmates that beat me in a race, 9th grade 1,320. The other, my good friend, Gary Buice, 9th grade 1,320. 

Phyllis Willhite

None of my classmates could beat me in a race. I'm not sure that would be true today!

Phyllis Willhite

I should have said none of my female classmates.

Pat Kuester (Bowen)

I would never had tried.  Do you remember the walk/run race we had to do each year.  In my case, it was a walk/stroll.  Shirley Hernandez was the only one slower than I.  

Phyllis Willhite

The only real competition I had was Joetta.
