I to am engaged and will be getting married in May 2006. Gary to is a great guy. Guy, the best of luck to you my family has been struck with Cancer and it is not fun but my thoughts are with you. Let us know who things come about. Richard, glad to hear you are still loving Arizona. Paul, great job on being clean and sober keep it going. I loved when my kids played sports enjoy it because before you know it they will be out of school and getting married as you well know. Pat, don't you have a new grandchild? I am totally enjoying my Grandson Landen he is now 8 months old and just a bundle of joy. Everyone take care and we will talk soon. Debbie Name: Sent: Fri April 29 2005 05:01 PM Pam...CONGRATULATIONS!!! Is he moving to Northern California? I think I remember you mentioning that he lived down south??? Paul, glad the sale of your business went so quickly! Good luck in Chatanooga...the best thing about the south is their southern hospitality and the FOOD! I could eat pecan waffles and grits and eggs every day for a week! You can swim with the crayfish on the Bayou now! Eric, glad you signed on. I will never forget when you and Robert Norton made Mrs. Fireman so mad that she kicked in the garbage can! Working at a middle school, as I do, I can certainly see why she did it...it was going to be the garbage can or your butt! Have a great weekend. Love, Pat Name: Homepage: http://www.all-americanschools.com Sent: Fri April 29 2005 12:57 PM Aloooooooooooha! How is everyone? Well, the business got sold in Maui last week and I will be moving to beautiful downtown Chattanooga, TN. My partner and I will be starting another school in TN and our opening day is scheduled for June, 20th. I will miss swimming with the dolphins, tropical fish, etc. etc. etc. Take care, Paul Kelley (44) Name: Sent: Wed April 27 2005 03:03 PM Hello Classmates of 78 First time I've visited this site It's great to see so many of you are doing well. Congratulations Maxine Name: Pam Sherman Sent: Wed April 27 2005 01:31 PM This is to announce that I too am getting married...this coming Sunday, May 1. Henry is a wonderful man. I am thrilled that my parents are able to join us. Our minister for the ceremony will be my brother-in-law, Gary Gallegos (Joey's brother). My new last name will be Hennings. Wish us luck! Thanks to all. All the Best, Pam Name: Sent: Tue April 26 2005 03:38 PM Thanks for hooking us back up, Leah. It is nice to hear that life is good for Paul and for Richard, and Guy, hope all goes well today...cancer is a scary thing. I want to share with all of you that our fellow Trojan, Maxine Harrington, is engaged to be married. The exact date is not set, however she is already signing her name "Maxine Cantergiani". He is a real cutie and I wish her the very best, as she so much deserves! I am enjoying my newly remodeled kitchen...what an undertaking! I am also starting my own bookkeeping business, so wish me luck! Love, Pat Name: Sent: Sun April 24 2005 11:00 PM Yaay ... the Ayer page is back! Thanks to Leah for keeping this up and for your vigilance in keeping it free of junk. While high school days may not have been the greatest at times, the good memories start crowding out the bad ones as time goes by. Congrats to Paul for his continued victories. Best wishes and good thoughts to Guy and the others who've had medical setbacks. Still enjoying life here in Lake Havasu, even though summer's warming up in the bullpen. Even got to sneak down to Phoenix in March for a little bit of spring training, which I've always wanted to do. I also love my work -- my annual evaluation was very good and I know my efforts are appreciated by my bosses. GO SUNS! Name: Sent: Sun April 24 2005 08:25 PM Hello All, Long time no post. Hope all is well. My son in law just got back from Iraq safe and only 1 bullet hole. We have bought a house in the Santa Cruz mountains and love it up here. I coach my sons Tee-ball team. He is 6. My wife has her own pet grooming business in downtown Ben Lomond. I still work in Fremont as a manufacturing Manager for a hi-tech firm. I have 2 grandkids that live in San Diego on the base. I really miss all my friend from Ayer. My mom still lives in the same house in Milpitas where I grew up. Life is great. i just celebrated 4 years clean and Sober. My pot and alcohol days are behind me now and I sure like being clean.Well that enough babbling from me. I would love to hear from my fellow Trojans. Take care all, Paul (Big Man) Name: Homepage: http://www.ineedstorage.com Sent: Sun April 24 2005 07:41 AM Hi All :) Well I am going in for surgery on Tuesday for a little cancer. Wish me luck :) Take Care All Guy Denos Name: Sent: Sun April 24 2005 12:10 AM Hi all...sorry the guest book was down so long. The Guestbook site had a major change over and they under-estimated how long it would take...thanks for being patient. Take care, Leah Name: Sent: Wed March 09 2005 09:14 AM Wow, it is so great to read the 'posts from everyone. The last 2 years have been unique to say the least. After 14 months in Iraq ( Sunni Triangle was my patrol area), it was great to come back to the USA. I am still working for Uncle Sugar, but after 2 unoffical and 1 offical war, this ol' boy is ready to hang it up and let the younger "kids" play for the varsity. Was able to view email but line was terribly slow and getting anything out sucked. I am sooooooo looking forward to our 30 year bash. Anyway I am back in the Phoenix metro area so if anyone travels this way, drop a line. Take care, be safe, Michael Name: Sent: Tue March 08 2005 08:35 AM also milpitsgurl@2way.net i have a pager that i chat with my deaf friends. mike modesto were you by any chance worked for manpower on redwood drive near valley fair shopping mall... i only have one class left to graduate this year as the teacher's aide for the deaf i am volunterring at the deaf school on mondays and enjoying it Name: Sent: Fri February 25 2005 03:35 PM By the way... Rick Bearden... What's up with you these days? Glad to be in touch. How's Mark L.? Go ahead, drop a line and say hi. Name: Sent: Thu February 24 2005 09:53 AM Hey Pat, Congratulations on the grandbaby and on the remodel. Do you have a contractor or are you doing this yourselves? Many things I can share with you. I am in the process of completing a kitchen remodel with a client. Any questions, email me. Hmmm, we'll have to talk in person, we can make those arrangements, I would love to get together. Dana, Exciting news about your kids! Glad to see you've written. I just started. And, I think I'll plan to come up to Tahoe, and I will let you know first. I think I need a quick get-a-way. Hmmm, maybe a few of us should just blaze a trail up there. LOLOL Hi to all SAH Trojans Name: Sent: Tue February 22 2005 06:09 PM Pat: More like drowned rat the last couple of weeks. The rain seems to be on a direct line from the SoCal coast to here. I'm hoping it'll clear up soon so I can head down to Phoenix for spring training -- but I know the warm weather will turn into triple digits soon enough! And, yes, the work situation is an improvement. I probably didn't see it when I was in the midst of it, but I was really frustrated and stagnating in my last job. Here, I'm using the same skills and instincts as before, but just a different way of using them, and, on the nights I'm in sports, readjusting my thinking to Arizona teams instead of NorCal (the Suns have been a lot of fun to watch). And it's just an adventure living in a different state for a change. Name: Sent: Fri February 18 2005 04:19 AM I have really been enjoying reading all of your e-mails. I just can't believe how well our class keeps up with each other. I am still being snowed in at Beautiful Lake Tahoe. Almost 13 years here now. Just a note, snow is pretty in December, January and February. It is okay in March. It is downright ugly in April, May and June. Keith and I are busy with three kids, Chris (16 and 6'1"), Kevin (12) and Corinne(8). Chris has been homeschooled the last few years and is now taking some college courses. I will kiss the ground when he gets his high school diploma. He is great with computers and is always on call with our friends when they have problems, TEENS! Kevin is trying to be an actor. He has been auditioning in LA. I am not quite sure where this will go but I gave him a year. He and Corinne have been on a competitive dance team for a while. We were just in San Mateo for a competition this past weekend. They way out ski/snowboard me. I can still beat all of them at basketball, although Kevin is really quick and aggressive. They keep me really busy. Keith is getting into buying and remodeling houses. The market here is outrageous. I really missed going to the 25th reunion. I can't wait for the next one. Next time I will check my dates. If you ever come here please look us up. I know if I get to Maui before long I will be looking you up Paul. You are having way too much fun. With Much Love, Dana Name: Sent: Fri February 18 2005 01:12 AM i don deyooooooooooooooooooo Name: Sent: Wed February 09 2005 11:25 AM Dearest Mike, I feel for you. Sounds like you have a wonderful and EXHAUSTING life! How proud you must be of all your kids! Sandy Bennett's masters degree is in Public Administration...good education to have. So Paul, you do realize that there is a WORLD of difference between Maui and Chatanooga, right? Of course, it has been 19 years since I was in Chatanooga, but the only thing I found charming there was the Chatanooga Choo Choo. I think Hyatt or Hilton uses it for a hotel. Of course, it is hot an muggy there in the summer, not unlike Maui, but I don't think you will find any cute little umbrellas poking out of your Budweiser bottle in Tennessee! So Richard, a desert rat and liking it, eh? Can't say that I blame you. However, sounds like your work environment is the biggest improvement. There is nothing like enjoying what you do and enjoying where you are doing it. Overlooking Lave Havasu must be pretty OK, too. Alright, I've babbled on enough...hope everyone has a SWEET Valentines Day. Pat Name: Sent: Tue February 08 2005 05:21 PM Hellos from Lake Havasu City here! It's been almost a year since I left California for the desert and, except for an occasional bout of homesickness, no regrets. Still have my apartment just a couple of miles from the London Bridge and have a nice view of the lake and the California hills, which frame those perfect Arizona sunsets every evening. Don't miss all that Central Valley fog at all, in fact, I was driving to the rodeo last month and it was such a warm day, I had to keep reminding myself it was January! Really enjoying my work, too, which is more than I can say for Merced the last couple of years. It's a good crew at the paper for the most part and I'm finding out there are different ways of doing things than I have before. Living in a different state is a new experience. My mother even came down for a visit after Christmas, which was also a new experience! Name: Homepage: http://www.computertrainingofhawaii.com Sent: Mon February 07 2005 05:10 AM ALOHA, I am still Down-and-out in Maui. (HA) Boy, everyone with kids, grandkids etc. I don't have any so I spend my time playing with the dolphins. The school did real well last year, we taught over 700 classes. We have the school on the market and plan on opening a school in Chattanooga, TN. We just got approved by the TN Department of Education. That was not an easy thing to do. The new school is called All-American Schools and we are not sure when we will open. Keep me in your prayers. I hope you all get a chance to visit Maui, it is the most romantic, beautiful place on earth. Take care, Paul Kelley (44) Name: Sent: Mon February 07 2005 04:05 AM Grettings Fellow Trojans, It's been sometime since I've posted anything. Here's a quick update on what's happening in the Modesto house hold. My 2 boys (Jordan & Trevor)keep my wife Carol and I extremely busy with their social calendar i.e.(school, pre-school, birthday parties little league, soccoer et.al.) Those of you who have kids know what I mean.... Jordan (6 yrs old) and Trevor (3 yrs old)finished their 1st year of soccer which was a blast. Jordan also brought home the most inspirational trophy too. He (Jordan) starts his 2nd year of little league in March. He passed his little league try out and will move up to the farm division too. Thank God he doesn't have his dad's athletic genes....? Carol and I will also be Grand Parents this May. Are oldest one, Shayne is having her first baby on May 7th. This will be our first grand child and also our first Great Grand Child in our family too. Needless to say our entire family is extremely excited! Shayne completed her batchelors at St Mary's College in Moraga in 2001 Nicole, our second oldest finishes up her masters in public adminstration in May too. She is attending Notre Dame de na mur University in Belmont. She completed her batchelors at UOP in 2002. My son Tyler also attends Notre Dame de na mur too. He is completing his junior year this year. That's it for now. Take care everyone, Mike "Moe" Name: Sent: Sat February 05 2005 01:19 PM Haven't been on for awhile, but glad I checked this evening...Kris, we thought you'd dropped off the face of this earth! We missed you at the 25th, so I'm glad you are still local - and did you say FOUR kids??? You must be a busy mama! Grandbaby is due the 28th of this month. My stepson's wife is 5 feet tall and normally weighs about 95 pounds soaking wet, so we are hoping for a small baby! Good to see other folks checking in, too. Sounds like everyone is busy with life. We are taking a step off the deep end and beginning a major kitchen/family room remodel at the end of the month. Hopefully we don't kill each other before the end, since I have a hunch it will look pretty good when we're done. Jess says we won't be eating out for a year after this! Hugs and kisses to all you Trojans! Love, Pat Name: Sent: Thu February 03 2005 09:04 AM Hi everyone! It has been awhile since I've been here and written anything. I've been dealing with life's "challenges" and am busy trying to make 2005 a great year. I was just down in the Milpitas, Fremont, Santa Clara area last weekend and the memories came flooding back. I feel very fortunate to have had a great time while at Ayer. I wish everyone could have had such a positive experience. I wish you all the very best in all that you do!

Cheers, Guy :) Name: Sent: Wed December 01 2004 04:20 PM Thanks Leah ... we can't say enough how much we appreciate you keeping up this, the best Samuel Ayer site on the web! We should all be eternally vigilant against the garbage peddlers taking over our site. So how's everyone doing? Working on enjoying a desert Christmas here (although as cold as its been, may as well be the Central Valley without the fog!) instead of being depressed about being away.

She was a good lady and will be missed. Hey to Chuck Harvey - our back yard fence neighbor! I just read your note... thanks. THe most exciting thing was when my dad squirted your roof with our garden hose one 4th of July when your fireworks accidentally landed on your roof!!!

Richard, I am glad it is you in that heat....yuck! It gets to 75 here in Eureka and we are hot. But then we walk around in shorts when it is 65 degrees. Well all, I have a very adorable Grandson born August 23rd, at 1:11 pm. He weighed 6lbs 3.4oz, 19" and has a head of dark hair. Landen and his parents are doing great, but learning after a baby nothing goes back to normal. They thought it would.....

He was a great man and will be miss by many. Name: Sent: Sat August 21 2004 05:41 PM Pat, Well, I told myself I'd give this at least a year, and there is that apartment lease I had to sign ... but its been pretty good so far. Stress is hand-in-hand with this business, but here its a lot more relaxed than in Merced. Being involved in sports coverage again helps (even though the Diamondbacks are just plain awful this year!). Yes, the high desert can be a revelation ... I go over the Tehachapis to get back to the valley, straight across the Mojave Desert (but now that I'm in Arizona, I have to remember I live in Mohave County, with an h). Saw a little more scenery when driving across it in a U-Haul, but can definitely say I prefer my SUV (for that 30 or so extra MPH). Debbie: We were in the 100s and 110s through June and July, but caught a break this past week when the monsoons hit. Unfortunately, lost power in the last two biggies. I live out by Mohave Community College, just to give you a point of reference. Name: Sent: Thu August 19 2004 02:33 PM So Richard, still a desert guy, huh? Saw a little high mountain desert a week ago. Our family drove though Yosemite over Tioga Pass and spent the afternoon at Mono Lake. Wow, what an incredible trip. It was so cool to see the "back side" of Half Dome. Wish I could have chiseled away some of that granite and taken it home to use in my kitchen! Chuck, Sandy McPherson's folks are in Brentwood, along with the Pacioni's and the Lucero's (I believe it was those two families.) They love it out there. A little closer than North Carolina where they had originally moved. Debbie, a grandma. Good for you (and your family!) My step-son, Erik, and his wife are expecting in Feb. I guess that makes me a grandma-to-be, too. Aren't we too young for this??? Pat Name: Sent: Thu August 19 2004 02:37 AM Maxine, I am sorry about your Mom here's a big hug.... Congratulations Pat, Great news. Richard, how is the weather there in Arizona? How hot is it??? I have some good news, I will be a Grandma next week my Grandson will enter the world next Monday or Tuesday depending on how long he decides to take. My daughter has not had a good time of her pregnancy so they are going to induce her starting Monday. We are looking forward to having a new little life in the family. Take care everyone and enjoy life.... Name: Sent: Wed August 18 2004 05:31 PM Ken: Good to hear from you again. Maxine, if you're lurking out there: Mega hugs!!! Pam: Congrats! Pat: Yeah, I hear you about distance, but a two-hourdrive isn't =that= bad. I had a long weekend and went to Santa Cruz last month ... 9 1/2 hours from the coast to Havasu! And life in the Valley will be much less hectic and a bit less expensive than the Bay area has become. Me? Still loving it here in the desert, and thanking every day the inventor of air conditioning, even in the midst of monsoon season. Just a couple of weeks to go until high school football season here, believe it or not. Name: Sent: Wed August 18 2004 04:40 PM Sorry to hear about Mrs Harrington as they lived behind us for many years. Condolences to Maxine and the sibs. I do remember your old abode Pat on the way up to the Yosemite bus stop. I wonder how many of our parents have forsaken the inner bay area rat race for the Delta area. My folks are in Brentwood and I believe the Stuckey's are at Discovery Bay. Any others moved to the gold country, delta or San Joaquin valley? Name: Sent: Tue August 17 2004 01:58 PM This is a great website! Ken, haven't heard your name in a few years. Pam, conrats on the engagement! Sad news to pass on. Maxine Harrington's mom passed away a few days ago. Wonderful lady. All the Harrington kids were able to visit with her ahead of time. Max seems to be doing well...glad it wasn't me. I don't know if any of you remember my folk's house on Yosemite. Well, we just moved them out of it over the last week, signing the final papers today. They have moved into a lovely "1-story" home in Roseville. Gosh, it really hurts to have my mom and dad so far away. I don't want to be a big baby about it, but it is hard. Okay, engough whining. I'll just look at it as a great shopping opportunity...has anyone been to the Galleria up there? Wow! Great stores and great eats! Not Santana Row, but pretty darn good for Sacramento! Maybe we'll run into Arnold or Maria there??? Hope the start of school is great for all of you (and your kids!)

Wakeman's tour is aptly named: "Revival" -- that tour must have a special roadie assigned to perform CPR with one of those EKG crash carts! Mr. Saladino is a prof at University of the Tetons. Look him up. Good news, I got engaged in March to a wonderful sweet man, Henry. Henry lives in Los Angeles and we have a few wrinkles in the time-space continuum to smooth out first so no date set and we're keeping our fingers crossed. The occasional prayer doesn't hurt either! It was so sweet and romantic, the way he proposed. Took me on a picnic to the beach and totally surprised me. We celebrated with champagne and oranges in the sand to the sound of the seagulls and the waves. All my love and warmest wishes always to all my good friends at good old Sammy Ayer!

And back on the baseball beat too, covering a little semipro ball on the days I fill in for the sports editor. Name: Sent: Sat June 05 2004 06:39 AM hi all i love this site...so thanks!! nadine i do remember you and do hope you can make the reunion. hey richard there is someone trying to find david her name is coleen can you help me out??? i have had many people from my past pop back into my life this past year and what fun it has been, kinda makes you sit and think that friendships may sometimes come missplaced but not forgotten. i hope everyone has a wonderous summer!! take care all ~katy Name: Homepage: http://www.nadinenewyork.com Sent: Thu June 03 2004 01:52 AM I just learned about the Class of '79 reunion. I really hope to make it there. Although, I didn't graduate due to my Dad taking a new job and moving us when I finished 10th grade, I felt the 2 years at Samuel Ayer and 1 year (8th grade) at Rancho were like 30 years of memories. During my time at Rancho and Ayer I was a perpetual outsider and didn't hang out much with anyone in the class of '79. Mostly that was because I lived above Ed Levin park so most of my friends were the kids who lived in that rural area and my best friend's classmates who were a year or 2 older. I'm sure no one remembers me, but I'm sure all of you remember the "big student walkout" and teacher strike in '77. My mom, a women who always believed in trying to make things better, was elected school board president. Unfortunately at the time I learned some interesting lessons about politics as I became persona non-grata for about a week or two while rumours were flying and teachers and students tried to figure out what was the truth and what was not. All in all, I have a lot of memories from that time and cherish them all. Now, I no longer drag my embroidery projects to school to sit and work on them in the Senior Glen! I'm a designer in New York and teach handbag design classes at the Fashion Institute. Who would have guessed?! Nadine Name: Sent: Wed May 19 2004 04:43 AM I agree with Leah, Tony you guys are doing such a great job over there for us. We have a few friends and family over there and we pray that everyone stays safe.....Have a great day everyone!

JUST COMPLETED A MILITARY ROTATION IN BAGHDAD AND STOPPED OFF HERE IN THE CITY OF BALAD BEFORE FLYING TO FRANKFURT, GE AND HOME TO FT BRAGG, NC. HOPE TO BE BACK IN MILPITAS SOON TO SEE THE MANY CHANGES I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT. TAKE CARE --TONY G. Name: Sent: Wed May 12 2004 05:12 PM Wow! Lots of reasons to celebrate at your house Pat. Hope everything went wonderfully! And, since the lady wanted updates ... its been two months since I've been working in Lake Havasu and I'm really loving it. It's a lot more relaxed atmosphere than my last job, we like to laugh a lot, but we get the job done when we have to, like last week when the sports editor was off and the photograper was sick when we had two teams playing at home at the same time in regionals ... I covered baseball, the cops reporter covered softball and even snapped a couple of pictures we used in the paper the next day. The sports editor is very easy-going and we have a lot of the same ideas on covering sports, so filling in is easy on his days off. Mostly, though, I've beenlearning how things are done here. Do get a little homesick sometimes, but I'll get an email, call or picture from a friend or relative that keeps me going. Have I switched to the Diamondbacks? No way ... the Giants games come in fine on the radio at night. But think good sporting thoughts for the Sharkies, Stanley needs to come to California. Name: Sent: Tue May 11 2004 10:23 PM Hi everyone. Cool website! Just found it while working on graveyard tonite. What happened to the Class of 79 website? It's good to see some familiar names. Your 25 reunion pictures were great! Me, I'm living in Westminster, Colorado. 3 1/2 years now, just love it. Wish I would have done it sooner. Working in the Aerospace Business, 24 years now. It's been fun. Lots of travel, exciting work launching satellites. I'll keep checking this site to see what's going on. If you remember me, please e-mail me. I would like to hear from you.

Guess what everyone, I'm back in Milpitas, and work right next door to old Sammy Ayer. 25th reunion coming I'll be there, hope to see alot of You. Pinkie Name: Sent: Thu May 06 2004 01:34 PM Okay, so I visit this site about once every other week to see who else has deposited a brief note about themselves. I love the little tidbits about Jacqui and her marathons and Tina and her performances. What interesting people we all turned out to be! I wish more of you would just post what you're up to these days. Well, I guess I should practice what I preach... This weekend my stepson, Erik, and his new bride will be home on leave for the first time since he shipped out to Japan 2-1/2 years ago! They got married there, so we have not even met Susan. They come in tomorrow night, so we will be having a party for them on Sat., as well as celebrating Mother's Day with them. My other great news it that my Dad's lymphoma is not back, as the oncologist had feared. Three years ago he was diagnosed with Large Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and went through the ugliness of chemotherapy. Praise God he came out of it...although it was questionable at the end. I know many of you have lost parents already, but I just told God that I wasn't ready to lose my daddy yet. Happy Mother's Day to all of you Trojans out there!

I'll post info on a 79 reunion if I hear anything...L Name: Sent: Thu March 25 2004 09:17 AM Hi classmates, I finished my marathon in Arizona 3/14/04, and it was not easy. After training in the cold weather and then going to 85 degrees was hard. I finished in 5:27, not what I was hoping for, but finish I did. Sorry to say I did not get to enjoy the momment for long. On Thurseday 3/18 Stephen was on his Harley lost control and crashed. He was unconcious for 20+ minutes and life-flighted to Eden Medical. He did not break any bones, surprisingly. He will have physical therapy for a while, but is expected to recover. Jac Name: Mark Salopek Sent: Wed March 24 2004 03:52 AM Hi everyone, took a long break from peeking into the web- site. Currently in my Masters Theology Degree program. Hoping to go into Military as Chaplain (We'll see if it happens at my age) Hope you're doing well Rob Phillips, and my prayers are with Pauls Family, as well as the families of other dearly departed. These events although sad are reminders to treat each other with love and respect while we are here, because life tends to be fragile, and to trust and have faith in our Lord Jesus that He has our loved ones in Heaven where there is no more pain and suffering. Hi Sabrina, and Hi Tina, and by the way, is the class of 79 having a class reuinon?? I don't think we have a web-site as nice as this one do we?? If anyone knows the Class of 1979 web-site, please post it here for me. Mark Name: Sent: Fri March 19 2004 05:34 PM Greetings from just across the state line, everyone. I've relocated to Arizona, where I've just finished my first week on the copy desk at the paper in Lake Havasu City. To make a long story short (hey, that's what good copy editors do!), the paper I was working at was sold in December and I was laid off when the sale was made final in early January. After a couple of months of marketing myself, making do on unemployment and a couple of interviews, I'm starting over again here in the desert (where they promised me that not only can I keep rooting for the Giants, I do not have to root for the Arizona Cardinals!). So far so good ... I have a nice apartment with a good view of the lake (I just a couple of miles from the London Bridge, imagine that!) and the spectacular sunsets every night ... but we'll see how I feel about that when it gets over 110 in the summer! Once they get me all broken in, I'll be on the news desk three days a week and the sports desk the other two, which I was hoping to do a little of anyway, since I've missed it. My co-workers are a good crew and the people in town seem very nice, so we'll see how this new adventure goes. Name: Sent: Thu March 18 2004 08:59 AM damn cool site! main maga dey here oh.

I agree with your assesment of Alameda, I was lucky to live their in the early 90's. Funny I didn't know much about it growing up, and it is so close to Milpitas. Good luck on your run.

Holiday's were quiet this year, my parents couldn't come down from Oregon, they were snowed in. Marie was in Maine with her girls and Grandkids, and my brother was with his new in-laws. My marathon training is taking up most of my time these days. Yesterday we did 13 miles at Harbor Bay Alameda, what a beautiful trail and veiw of the city. It is amazing all the trails I never new about! I will be running the Home Depot Half Marathon Feb.1, so if you are in San Fransico come cheer me on!

Pam Sherman Russell...my mom sent home boxes with each of us girls this Christmas. Included in these boxes were report cards, pictures, etc. I have our 1st grade class picture. We were so cute!

Yes I'm still alive and in living color. I have been reading through the posts that you all have shared here and and I must say it makes me miss you all. I live in Colorado and I've been married for 19 years. I have 4 boys and 3 girls. The saint I married is the one I brought to the 5 year reunion. Her name is Jill. I am a Manager for FedEx. It is so good to hear that so many of you are doing so well. Here is a scary question. How many of you ended up having teenagers that turned out just like you? Or almost like you? Heaven forbid. Pray for me and mine. I'll do the same for you. God Bless.
