I'm sad to report that I found out today that Jeannie Zazzi passed away sometime in the last two months. I've just released a memoir in which she was a minor character and I wanted to send her a copy. When I tried to call her phone number in Berkeley, it had been disconnected so I called a few agencies in the area and this was all the information I could obtain. We would talk several times a year and even though her health was frail, she had always remained upbeat. I'll miss her spirited presence.

Richard, thanks for the report. Sad to read it. Wish we'd had a chance to get everyone together again.--Dennis

Thanks so much Richard. For sharing ......I agree with you Dennis, we need to connect with our classmates more often. I remember Zazzi from way back at Sutterville elementary school and she was always a free spirit and full of fun. RIP dear friend    Happy Healthy Holidays to all

I feel so sad to read that news Richard. I did keep in touch for many years but since a couple reunions ago we lost touch. She was definitely a free spirit and had a unique quality about her. I visited with her when she was a dealer in Reno if I remember the city correctly and we had a crazy time!

Richard,  You were a true friend to Jeannie.  I hope her passing was peaceful.  thanks for letting us know.

Thank you, Richard--I am so sorry to hear of Jeannie's passing--she was so lively and had a great sense of humor--always "up for something"!  As classmates have said, it is unfortunate that many updates now are about the disappearance of our chums--alas.

All you Lions, keep your chin up--(or chins?  if you have more than one?  )--and let's make the most of the time we have.  Carpe diem, tempus fugit.  My warmest wishes to all of you for a happy holiday season and peace and good health in the New Year.

 I am so sorry to hear about Zazzi.  She lived 4 houses down from me on Parkridge Road and we were very good friends.  She was a smart and interesting kid and I have had the chance to have several conversations with her over the years.  The last one being right before our 50th party.  She had had a stroke and was in a assisted living situation and was still smart as a tack.  I will miss her spirit. joeann schoenman matthew.

I was so sorry to hear about Jeannie. I have known her since kindergarten.  She was always such a good friend. I always loved her pigtails!!  The last time we spent time together was several years ago when Kristen Otto invited Frani Beckstead, Carol Elliott, Curly Thompson, Jeannie, Sue Springle, Linda Bell & I to her cabin for 3 days.  We had a ball!!  It's so sad to think Linda, Sue & now Jeannie are gone.  We just have to embrace each day and live life to the fullest!!  Who knows what tomorrow will bring!!  Happy Holidays to each & everyone of you, dear friends!!!  Much love to you all, Jan

Thank you Richard for sharing the sad news of Zazzi passing. She was always with a smile, up beat, and sharp as a tack.

It always sad to read of one more passing of another classmate  from the class of "63" it reminds us of just how short our time on earth is. 

I urge those of you in Sacramento area to stay in touch often, reach out to make that call, meet for a walk or coffee. Keep making memories to share. 

May joy surround you this season and stay.

I'm hoping it's just a start to a greater journey. One more of us joins the list. May peace be with you Zazzie.
