Hey everybody... for those of you who
have made postings, you're probably aware already of the slow turn around time.
That probably isn't going to change anytime soon, so I thought I'd take this opportunity
to provide you a second option. A lot of OG alumni have signed up for Facebook,
so that's a good place to get in touch with folks and make yourself heard. It's
not quite the same as a bulletin board, but the postings are immediate.

Roland K. asked about some song titles
that the OG marching band had played. I remember one song was "Theme from Rocky".
The other was "Maleguena". It's fun to walk down memory lane and this sight
is fantastic. Thanks Bill C. jgjohngutierrez at gmail dot com |

Hey everyone, I just stumbled across
this page and was shocked to see all of you. It was like I traveled back in time,
WOW! I remember most of you we all went to Edenvale, then Davis, then OG.
If any of you hear from or speak with Steve Bellows please let him know I would like
to speak to him.
Thanks,
Richard Ponte |

Hello everyone it's Chris Cox. What
an amazing few hours it has been perusing the bulletin board! I never had the chance
to go to Oak Grove as I moved in the middle of 8th grade. I graduated from Los Gatos.
I attended the 10 year reunion though and had a blast. I've recently reconnected
with some of my classmates from Anderson via Facebook. Thanks to Bill Catambay for
turning me on to this site! Louis Wilson, Terry Chase, David Pipe, Brian Hegarty,
Bill Beck, Cathy and J.R. Hagerman, Jenny Joy, Holly and Wally Pool, Curtis Cook,
Rob Lynch. Man, we used to tear those streets up! Good memories. Thank you Bill for
maintaining this site. I would like to reconnect with anyone who is interested! My
email is kryzstof6 AT yahoo DOT com.
Namaste! |

I'll add my lurking, but to date silent,
voice to the crowd regarding Mr. Nalty. I am forever grateful to him and his peer
for the OUTSTANDING writing education I got at OGHS.
Please pass along my profound thanks and let him know he clearly has made a huge
difference to many, many students. |

Thank you to all of you who have given
your regards to Jack Nalty. I wanted to let you know that I have compiled all of
your kind thoughts and memories for him as a belated Christmas present. I know that
he will greatly appreciate them all. Thank you to all of you who have contacted me.
If anyone else would like to do so, I will continue to pass along your messages.
Best wishes,
Caitlin |

Open letter to Mr Jack Nalty:
"How can you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?"
Oh wait someone else used that one...Ok, time to get serious. Since your grandaughter
has so graciously offered to forward any correspondence to you, I would like to take
this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the education that
I received from you at Oak Grove High School (A Public high school...imagine that!).
My name is Kim Lane and I graduated from Oak Grove in 1980. You were my English teacher
for freshman year English 1A and my senior year for Advanced Humanities. I was the
tarot card reader in the witch group at our Renaissance faire. Visitors to the faire
actually paid me for a reading and I made the English department a little money...(my
very humble little claim to fame) You probably don't even remember me as I was not
an outstanding academic ( See: Laura Church, Richard Bender) I was a wisecracking
chubby blond girl who was a little intimidated by you and craved your respect and
approval. I did go on to graduated from college with honors. I must tell you that
the education that I received from OGHS was so appreciated after I went out in to
the world and begun to realize that not everyone was as well prepared for college
as I was. You and your colleagues, Betty Williams, Judith Dimicelli, Ron Neighbors
and Michelle Shibley all deserve to be recognized for what you achieved by making
the English department at Oak Grove high school so exemplary. I didn't appreciated
it nearly enough at the time, but now that I am the parent of two college aged students,
I am often filled with gratitude that I went to school at OGHS during the years that
you were teaching there and heading up the English Dept. What I really want to say
is that I have never had a more colorful, inspirational, or most importantly, effective
teacher since high school and I can't thank you enough for that. Your true calling
was teaching and you made a huge difference in my life. Thanks. |

Ah, Mr. Nalty ... brings back memories.
It's a shame we don't realize what an awesome teacher he was until we're adults.
I learned so much from him while ducking out of the way ... as he threw plastic fruit
at someone behind me.
I can write an executive summary to a complex business report like nobody's business
... because he taught me how to do a precis in English class.
Please give him my best. |

What a shock about Mike Fujimoto. I
remember Mike from elementary school at Edenvale. Our parents were friends and I
remember visiting at his house and him coming to my Birthday parties when I was little.
I will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will
be missed.
Sincerely,
Tracy (Guthrie) Seals |

I am very sorry to hear about Mike.
Last Thursday 12/11, I celebrated my anniversary of being cancer-free for 19 years.
I had a malignant brain tumor removed on 12/11/1989. All us who are still here, if
something is not right find out what is wrong and do not let anyone stop your search
until you are given a cure/treatment. I thought Mr Nalty's first name was John not
Jack. |

RE: Nalty
The words etched in my mind from senior year humanities:
"Young ladies and gentlemen!" (followed by a dramatic flip of his tie over
his shoulder). Kept my attention. |

Hope everyone is having a good holiday
season. I'm feeling a little nostalgic... I lost track of Ron Campbell many years
ago and would like to find him again. Does anyone know how to contact Ron? If you
do, or if you'd just like to say hi, you can email me at barry AT adesignforlife

That's very sad to hear about Mike.
Yes, a super nice guy. Thanks for letting us know, Fuji.
John Gutierrez, hey speaking of marching band, what was the name of the Maynard Ferguson
tune that you guys played. I loved the way that sounded when the band played it. |

Hey.
I STILL talk about Mr. Nalty. Best damn English Teacher EVER. I busted my tail for
a C in his class and couldn't have been more proud of my achievement LOL. I've spoken
about him and his unique teaching style often to my daughter over the years. She
is 17 and guess what, she wants to be a Teacher... An english teacher no less. Everything
comes full circle.
Heres a list of words that is still etched into my head from his class.. Freshman
year, 77-78.
Be
become
feel
smell
taste
look
grow
appear
sound
stay
seem
remain
Please give him my best...

Hi All,
I am by no means an Alumni of Oak Grove, but stumbled upon this Bulletin Board on
accident. My Grandfather, Jack Nalty taught english at Oak Grove and I had noticed
that some of you had wondered about him since your graduation. He is still living
in San Jose. If you email me at C.Nalty AT yahoo DOT com I can pass along your messages
for him.
Have a wonderful Holiday season. |

Sorry to hear about the
passing. I don't remember if I knew him. Wanted to say hi to Mike. I know I knew
you but don't remember how. Were you in band Mike? Didn't you play clarinet? |
David Pipe
11/17/08 |
Very sad to hear about
Mike ... I too knew him for many years. We used to kill time in the library by playing
that stupid "football" game using a piece of notebook paper folded up into
a triangle shape.
He was a good guy.
Hello to everyone from London ... I will be home in the Bay Area over the Christmas
period - would be nice to meet up if anyone is around.
Take care and Happy Holidays.

Wishing everyone a pleasant
Holiday filled with family, friends and love. Remember to count your blessings and
be thankful for all that is around you. Remembering the good times and giving a "Shout
out" to the Suhama family. Just heard from Margo Suhama, (Mike Suhama's Lil
sister), unfortunately, he lost his battle with Lymphoma and passed away on October
31st and was recently layed to rest on November 8th. Where ever you may be, be sure
to light a candle in his name. You can read his obit and send your wishes by signing
his guest book. |
Michael Fujimoto
11/11/08 |
Some sad news...
Mike Suhama passed away yesterday morning. I've known Mike since Kindergarden. Mike's
brother called me. I was a bit shocked when I received the call.
Mike passed away from Lymphoma last Friday morning. |

Annette...great to see
you on the board. Just got through finding out about this board through John. John

still around and well. I'll catch up with you all here in a bit. It's late and got
to get to bed tonight.

Hey Mr. Gutierrez...
Saw the pic of you, your wife and the kids. Awesome! You look exactly the same :-)
I look forward to seeing you at the reunion.
Michael Fujimoto... How was Sonoma? I am feeling much better so we are on for drinks
and networking LOL. Will be in Cupertino very soon. Call me.
Bill Catambay - You ROCK for maintaining this site for us. Let me know how I can
help with organizing the reunion.
Hope everyone else is doing well! If you want to see some pics and a glance into

I was just thinking of you the other day... Wow, 5 kids, you were a good Catholic!
I'm still in Silicon Valley, living in Cupertino. It would be great to hear from
you. Send me an email to michael AT chipsearch DOT com and we'll catch-up!
BTW, is anyone organizing a 30-year reunion??? We're less than 2 years away.
All the best! |

I have never attended
a reunion and I feel awful about it. I used to be in the band at school. I would
welcome any and all emails from my classmates at Oak Grove. I live in rural Colorado
and have a wife and 5 kids. My life kicks butt. Some of my best memories were being
in the marching band. Also, doing lunch time concerts with my friends...Larry Gerstley,
Dave Philips, Ron Campbell Jr., and Steven Wilbur. I think High School was amazing!!! |

Hey Suzette,
I just got an email about an Oak Grove posting and saw you. How are you? I have though
about you when seeing the news about the fires in Paradise. Are you still living
there? Are you and your family ok? We need to get together. Plan a week or weekend
at the beach or something. Anything to get out of Las Vegas in the summer. I am visiting
Melissa over the 4th of July holiday. Hope to see Terri too! Send an email or call.
Get my info from Terri. Would like to catch up. Talk to you soon, Tracy |

Hi everyone!! Haven't
been to this website in a long time, but glad to see people are using it. Sorry I
missed the last reunion ( I was in Hawaii) but I plan on attending the 30th!!! It's
nice to look back on all the people you went to High School with. I'm living in Newman
now (by Tracy) and loving it. Keep on writing, and hope to see all at the 30th!!! |
Brad (Mickel) Andersohn

Hello you all happy people....
I am on my way to New York for business sitting in airplane surfing and drinking
(they still give free drinks in Business Class. Oh yeah, I do like the CRUISE idea
for 30 yr reunion as long as no one falls or thrown over board ha..ha..ha.. Oh, almost
forgot, son is getting "Deployed" to IRAQ by end of June from his Air Force
Fleet... sad.. sad.. for the wife especially. Later....... |
Sharon Bock
6/16/08 |
Hi everyone! Sorry I
didn't make the last reunion but I do want to make the 30. Some of you probably won't
remember me because I moved during junior year, but I sure remember most everyone.
I had an interesting idea for the 30th reunion, what about doing a cruise? My mom's
30 year high school reunion was a 3 day cruise to Ensenada. Maybe there's something
that can be done out of San Francisco. If we have two years to plan we could all
start saving now and I believe as a group we could get a discount. Just a thought!
I hope everyone is doing well during this downturn in the economy and since we all
know the price of gas is not going to go down, everyone buy electric cars and put
solar on your house! Bye! |
Suzette Wallen (Bernal)
5/3/08 |
Kathy Hardwick where
are you?? You said that you would call! so sad you did not. I am still living in
Paradise, now under the last name of Wallen. I hope all is well with you! Fond memories

Ron Siemer

Hey Richard.. I just
ran across your post and it affected me deeply. Like Sean, I also have fond memories
or your dad... the first and coolest computer nerd I ever met. I still remember the
"Whow!" factor of him blinking twice at his malfunctioning Pet Computer,
popping open the top, plucking out what appeared to be a random chip, reaching into
a drawer full of similar chips.. selecting one, inserting it, closing the lid, and
having the D@#$ed thing working again.
Send my love to your family.. you are in my thoughts, Ron. |
Laura Davis (Cotterell)

Hello everyone,
Wow! Looking at classmates.com and saw this website. Wonderful! I have lost touch

I do remember you! |

Happy New Year Bill,
Sorry for the delay.
We use subcons in SZ (HonHai/Foxconn). I do know some people. Apples offices are
in Shanghai... Tough without the language and visa. We are expanding for many other
projects in the region. Let me know if I can help.
Caught up with with Brad (Mickel) Andersohn. He is doing well. Living with his wife
and kids up near me and is a Big YES for the reunion. I have current contact info
which I will be forwarding to you off line...
Happy Birthday Terry Chase (1/12)
Hope you are well.
De De Tomlinson sends her regards.
Hugs!

Bill,
What are you doing in Shenzhen? You still at LMT? Been there a few times on business
- best way from Hong Kong to Shenzhen is via Ferry - takes you right from/to HKG
airport. For a few extra bucks, you can even go first class riding on the second
deck. BTW, gotta watch your back there - Shenzhen is problably the least safe area
in all of PRC, especially around the train station.
David,
Was in Sao Paulo in October for business - my current job as a technical marketing
manager at Intel has given me a taste of international travel. I'm hoping to make
it to Swindon this spring and will let you know by late Feb if that happens so we
can grab a pint and catch up!
Cheers! |
Bill Catambay
1/3/08 |
JoAnn... at the Shenzhen
mfg office, are they hiring?
HK to SZ is kind of a pain... especially if you don't speak Chinese, and it certainly
doesn't help when your Chinese Visa visit limit is used up.
Jeff... would you please send me your correct email? I sent you a note from Bill
Beck awhile back, but apparently you never received it, so I assume you have a new
email address (and the one you supplied with your posting bounced). |
Jeff Ramirez
1/3/08 |
Hey Billy Beck, I just
heard you were looking for me from Lisa James (thanks Lisa) give me a call. (408)603-3271
Have you heard from Mitch or Brian at all? Also if Ondine is out there it would be
good to hear from you. |
Sean Knepper
1/2/08 |
Richard,
I tried to reach your mother today, no answer. Will try, later in the week, when
things 'settle'...
VERY sorry to hear about your loss...
I still have fond memories of the numerous times at your house the gang. Both of
your parents were always great to us all (treating all like family). Your dad was
an innovator and I remember him introducing us to computer games (well ahead of the
curve!). Also, playing the guitar and singing for us... He was kind, light hearted
and seemed to have a soft spot for us all...
Take care,
Sean |
JoAnn Lopez

Dear Richard,
Sorry to hear about your dad. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.
I will keep you in my prayers. |
JoAnn Lopez
1/2/08 |
Hey Bill C,
Bummer! Let me know if things shift. Would be great to hook up. Was in ShenZhen about
18 months ago...Was strictly business as we have a major manufacturer there. What
are you up to in that city? The trek from HK to SZ sucked.
Hey Billy Beck.. What? You don't even say hi! LOL....Hope you are doing well.
Happy New Year All!
Here's to an amazing 2008
Cheers!
JoAnn Lopez

Some of you may remember
my father fondly. He died yesterday from a massive heart attack at the VA Hospital.
He was 68 this past November. My mother still lives at the same place 5892 Macadam
Ct and has the same phone number 408-224-1071 (she never mastered the intricacies
of peak time minutes vs anytime minutes and after some horrendous cell phone bills
was forced to swear to us that she wouldn't get another one). Please feel free to
call and offer condolences or share a memory of my dad. My brother Eric is staying
at the house with her. |

Hi JoAnn... my trip to
China is Feb 5 to Feb 15, so it looks like I will be leaving when you arrive. I'll
be down in southern China, Shenzhen, which is a couple of hours from Hong Kong. There
is a slight chance that my trip will be delayed, but given the steep penalty for
changing the trip dates, I'll probably stick to the original dates. So what's Apple
doing up in Beijing?
PS: Happy New Year everyone! |

Hey David Pipe.... Cute
picture of you eating bangers and mash in London! See you in the UK in March. Looking
forward to one of those Giant beers you were drinking.
Hey Jerry Minteer... Whats up?
Hey Bill Catambay.. Looks like I will be in Sydney on Business for Chinese New Year...
Will arrive Beijing on Feb 16th(ish) and HK on the 21st... Will you still be there?
Happy Holidays Everyone,
Big Hugs! |

Ran across the message
board and was reading the postings... brought back many memories.
Just wanted to say HI... sorry I missed the last reunion! I did hear about it from

makes for a great summer.
Drop me a line if you remember me! |
Debbie Arnold (Victor)

Just moved from Alaska
and back in sunny California. We could still be here for another 2 years which means

My husband and I are in North Redondo Beach now.
Sure loving the sure!
Has anyone had any contact with Teresa Woodward? |
JoAnn Lopez
10/30/07 |
WOW - So many blasts
from the past on here...Great to see your names! Hope you all are happy and Healthy.
Ondine, Dyanne, Janet, Tami, Martha, Kathy, Debi, Annette Etc... Amazing. Talk about
a flood of memories as I pictured each of you.. (you were all young and wrinkle free
by the way :-)
..and the crowd from Anderson Elementary... How are all of you!?... Who remembers
the day Anderson first opened and we all carried our plastic pull out desk drawers
all the way down Copco lane from Minor school to Anderson. Think it was middle of
first grade. Snap! that was a long time ago. We were a close and creative bunch back
then. We spent years growing up together. Where has the time gone! .. Anyway, kind
of sucked when I moved from OG to ST in 10th but I made lots of friends there too.
And there were plenty of parties at the Lopez house on Calero/Sorrel... With 4 teens
there was always something happening. LOL
Sorry I missed the last renunion. I will make try to the next one.
David Pipe - Wish I knew you were living in London. Been 3 times in the past 9 months
on Biz (Apple Retail Stores). Send me your details - I'll catch up with you when
I'm there in '08.
Terry, Terry, Scott, Louis etc.. I can remember y'all clowning around at Davis...
Hope you all visit this site again soon so you can see my note cuz I would love to
hear from you. Or you can email me: taptwice AT mac DOT com
Thanks Bill for Maintaining this site!
Miss you all!
Take Care,

I would be very interested
in attending a 30 year reunion. The 20 year one was a lot of fun. Just keep me updated.
Thanks |
Michael Harris

Hey Bill,
I'd be interested in attending the 30-year reunion for sure. As far as helping out,
I am currently in Sao Paulo, Brazil but given my permanent residence in Chandler,
AZ, it might be difficult. Keep me in mind if there is anything I can do remotely.
Obrigado! |

Thanks Gordon and Cindy
for the realtor information. It turns out the house sold last week without having
to list it. |
Bill Catambay
10/22/07 |
Hi Everyone: As we approach
2008, this marks 2 years before a possible 30-year reunion. If we have a 30-year
reunion in 2010, we should probably start the planning next year. There are still
a lot of "missing" alumni, so the sooner we start looking for them, the
more alumni we can find and invite to the 30-year. In 2009, we can begin arranging
for the specific date, place, and events for the reunion. I would be interested in
hearing from those that are interested in attending a 30-year reunion, as well as
those that are willing to help out in the planning. |
Kathy Hardwick

Does anyone know a reliable
realtor in San Jose? I live in NC now and would like to talk to a realtor there in

It was sad to read about
the passing of Brian Haaser a couple of weeks ago. Didnt really know him, but he
was a fellow alumni. |

Hi Robyn, I remember
you too...
Do you remember hanging out with the Winner's, Spingola's and others on the corner
of Bangor Ave. and Herma? It must have been in our later years at O.G. 1979-1980?
I did not see you at the reunion, hope all is well with you. |

Hi Annette,
How are you!
Ya.... I'm finally moving out of the Stipe area, since they opened up the deadend
at Ella, I use to drive by your mom's old house all the time, I would see John's
dad occasionally and his sister, but just about everyone else has moved away. There
are only 3 more families on Dickinson that are there from when I was little, Rick
and Chris Shin's parents, Chuck and Pauline Stewart's parents, the neighborhood has
gone down hill so the change will be good. My mom passed away last May and she was
part of the reason we stayed in the area, plus my son Bruce and his wife are going
to make me a new grandma in Aug., this will be my first, they live in Folsom and
now I will be closer to them.
Do you ever here from Denise or Roxanne? I hope all is well with you and your family.

Janet! I can't believe
you were still on Dickinson for all those years -- I remember that house since I
could always see it from my mom's on Ella! I haven't seen nor heard from anyone in
so many years. Hope all is well! |

Mitch Boydstun,
Of course I remember you. You used to have the long brown hair and moustache! Everyone
thought you were the sweetest. I still keep in touch with Jill Henderson. Remember
her? What are you up to? |

Hey Dyanne Chae,
I remember you! You used to help me with my home work in our creative writing class
when I was a junior at OG. I think the teachers name was Mrs. Blackerbee, although
I could be wrong since it's been so many years ago. I used to hang out with Billy
Beck, Brian Heggarty. Hope all is well in your life, let me know how your doing... |

Hi Jenny,
Wow my long lost friend from the past........ How are you!!!!
I hope you remember me. I'm a little busy at the moment, we're moving this weekend
from the house on Dickinson (my husband and I bought it from my parents in 1999)
we're moving up to the Sacramento area where my son Bruce lives, the end of an era
(40 yrs worth). So much to talk about, would love to hear from you, send me an email
jsg35 AT aol DOT com so we can catch up. Would love to hear from any of my other

Thanks Mr. Pipe - good
to hear form you. How are things going with you? I am hanging in I think.You know
what was fuuny about Mr. Bannanas was my sister had him after we did. Poor girl had
to deal with him after he had me as a student. Yes it was bad for her. But to tell
you the truth, he wasn't that bad. He did what it took to make me learn. If it took
a few knee's to the thigh or ass (his signature moves) he did it. I want to get an
Anderson e-mail list going. If you want, e-mail me at afropower1023 AT yahoo DOT
com. |

Congratulations on getting
married, Louis! Believe it or not, I remember you best from our 5th grade class at
Anderson - remember Mr. Banyas? I still remember how he used to yell at you: "MY
name is Louis TOO, Louis!!" I think he was seriously disturbed.
Those of you who I saw at the last reunion will probably remember I came all the
way from Sydney (where I lived) to attend - well, now I live in London, England -
so a bit of a shorter trip next time (hoping there might actually BE a next time!)
Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone who would like to get in touch with me, please
feel free. My email is dpipe at mac dot com. |

Louis, Congratulations
on your marriage. Don't know if you remember me but we go all the way back to Caroline
Davis. I can remember playing flag football with Terry Chase and Scott Johnson and
clowning around with you guys while we were in Jr. High. Now that's going way back!!!!!
I live up in the North west (Port Orchard, WA.) and have been working for Puget Sound
Naval Shipyard for 17 years. |

Louis,
I kinda lost touch with old contacts for a bit (4 yrs?); I was somewhere between
procrastinating and just plain lazy in updating my contact info. Congrats on the
marriage. E-mail me: terrychase at comcast.net Let me know who you've kept in touch
with. |

Hey Mitch,
How are you? Remember me at all? Missed you at our 20th reunion. Hope you are doing
good and life has treated you well. When i think of you , I just remember always
hanging out in the quad after school, and one time my Dad came to pick me up and
you and some other guys took off so fast. |

Hi Everyone,
I just found this site surfing the net tonight and I thought it would be really cool
to hear from some of my high school friends. I moved away in my senior year to Auburn,
CA and graduated from Placer High. Seeing all the faces and reading the names brings
back some fond memories.
I would love to hear from you!

Hello Molly,
I remember you, we went to Coventry Elementary together too! We also lived in the
Garden Apts. at the same time. If memory serves me correctly you were married to
Jerry at the time, you just had a little boy (he is probably about 22 years old by
now?) Feel free to e-mail me at angela_angela AT comcast.net so we can catch-up. |

Don't know if this will
ever be seen by anyone but I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic in my old age , and I'm
having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that it's almost 26 years since
we all graduated. I have no idea if anyone will even remember me, I only spent 2
years at Oak Grove, Junior and Senior year, my folks decided to move the family from
up North to San Jose because they could actually afford a house here, jeez, the good
old days. Anyway, if anyone does remember me and would like to chat, I'd love to
hear from you. I live in Willow Glen, so I didn't get too far from home. Bye for
now... |
