Ron Siemer 12/28/08	The guy behind you he was throwing fruit at was me, Dave. I didn't mind the orange, but that damned Pineapple hurt! Great teacher! ..and it was, Am Are Was Were Is Be Being Been .the eight state of being verbs... page one of Nalty's Grammar notebook. I wish I still had mine.
Scott Susman 12/28/08	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.
Caitlin Nalty 12/27/08	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
Kim Lane 12/18/08	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.
Suresh Parag 12/17/08	Hey folks: Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season. We know it is not one of the greatest season to celebrate under these circumstance however, make it the best. We have lost many alumnis and it is very sad however, hold on to your love ones and cherrish the moments we all have in this temp earth. I was looking at the yearbook pictures and my have we changed. Just came back from Europe in business and will be heading to New York. Oh, folks Iam going to Presidential party next month in DC. Thanks to folks from United States Air Force. Peace!!
David Pipe 12/17/08	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.
Tracy (Guthrie) Seals 12/16/08	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
Tracy A Ganier 12/16/08	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.
Bill Catambay 12/15/08	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.
Barry Nordby 12/13/08	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 DOT com.
Roland Kippenhan 12/11/08	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.
JoAnn Lopez 12/10/08	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... JoAnn Lopez
Caitlin Nalty 11/28/08	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.
Shellie Pena 11/21/08	Hey David.......how are you? Havent see you since the reunion. Hope life is treating you well.
Steven Wilbur 11/20/08	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. - David
Kathy Webb 11/16/08	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.
Steven Wilbur 10/27/08	Annette...great to see you on the board. Just got through finding out about this board through John. John and I have talked a few times about you through the years and it's great to see you're 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. Steven
JoAnn Lopez 10/17/08	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 my life, find me on facebook DOT com look under Oak Grove high school. JoAnn Lopez
Annette (Solito) Vizcarra 9/26/08	Johnny! The first boy who kissed me...in kindergarten! Email me and let's talk about the neighborhood, your sisters, and family! Annette
Michael Fujimoto 9/25/08	John Gutierrez, funny, 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!
John Jess Gutierrez 9/20/08	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!!!
Diana Howsmon Liu 9/1/08	Hi Becky Johnson, Sorry I didn't get to call this weekend. Life around my house is as hectic as ever. I will either email this week or call you. Take care, Diana
Kathy Hardwick 8/3/08	Suzette Wallen (Bernal)...I am sorry I did not call. So much has gone on since we last talked. I live in North Carolina now. Please email me at apexkathy AT yahoo DOT com. I would love to chat with you. I have been thinking about you.
Rebecca Lanier (Johnson) 8/1/08	Hi Everyone. A big hello to Ondine (Rennie) Orta. Former classmate and fellow employee from CSAA. Yes. I married Jim Lanier. We are happy and well living in the Sierra Foothills in the heart of the Gold Country. I can be reached at jim2beck1 AT juno DOT com. It was great reading all those postings. Lots of memories and lots of fun.
Lisa Putz 7/19/08	Hey Melissa!!!! Glad to hear from you - we had such fun in High School hanging out. I will send you an email. Putz
Melissa (Nani) Thornton 7/9/08	Hey Putz! It's been too long. Would love to talk to you. Email me at melistim AT hotmail DOT com. Let's catch up! Hey Suzette! A big Hello to you too! Hope everything is okay after the fire. My boy is fighting the fires in Lassen Park. You can imagine I am one stressed Mom!
Shirley (Reno) Armstrong 7/9/08	David, Sure was nice to hear that you are doing okay. Sorry to hear about your son. Sure would be nice to see you at the reunion. E-mail me at noviceasm AT aol DOT com. Thanks Shirley "Squirrley" Armstrong
Tracy (Guthrie) Seals 6/22/08	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
Lisa Putz 6/21/08	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 6/19/08	So when and where will the big 30 reunion be? Guess we got a couple years to figure it out. Anyone for Hawaii?
Suresh Parag 6/16/08	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 my fellow feathered friend.
Klay Smith 3/3/08	Hey whats going on, just wanted to say hey to anyone from class of 80 or so and from the old neighborhood. I missed the twenty year reunion, but do plan to attend the thirty so shot me an E-MAIL or will see you at the reunion.
David Pipe 3/2/08	So, Mikey - are you coming to England, or what??
Ron Siemer 2/21/08	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) 2/17/08	Hello everyone, Wow! Looking at classmates.com and saw this website. Wonderful! I have lost touch with so many people from high school, moved away soon after graduation. Live in Modesto now........... if anyone remembers the good old days, let me know! Bill, great site, I do remember you!
JoAnn Lopez 1/12/08	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! JoAnn Lopez
Mike Harris 1/3/08	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 1/2/08	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 xoxo
Richard Bender 1/1/08	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.
Bill Catambay 1/1/08	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!
Bill Beck 12/22/07	Hey, does anybody know how to get a hold of Jeff Ramirez (1980 grad). He has a brother named Mark. Thanks...
JoAnn Lopez 12/21/07	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!
Jerry Minteer 12/19/07	Hello Bill Catambay and all my fellow Anderson School graduates. I am still living in San Jose. It was fun looking at all the pictures. It would be cool to be part of a thirty year reunion.
David Pipe 12/18/07	Mikey! What the hell are you doing in Brazil?!?
Robert Vollmer 12/18/07	Hey, congrats to this year's OGHS football team for having won the CCS football championship for the 6th time in school history. We finished ranked #11 in the state!!
Greg Bertsch 12/8/07	Bent!!! How is it going! I am loving those Patriots!!! Giving me a few scares, but you know what they say... sometimes it is great to be lucky! I still remember driving around in your brothers van (I think it was green if I remember)! How have you been? What have you been up to? You can e-mail me direct at gregbertsch AT cox DOT net if you wish! Great to hear from you!
Mark Wilson 12/8/07	Hi everyone, Does anyone remember me? I totally remember Kathy Hardwick, Tami Lilienthal, Martha Vasquez and Shellie Pena!!! I hope life dinds all of you well and happy!!!
Angela Jones (Carter) 12/1/07	Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. If anyone remembers me and would like to drop me a line, feel free to do so (angela_angela AT comcast DOT net).
Bent Hellested 11/26/07	Greg, How bout those Patriots!
Tracy Ganier 11/26/07	Linda Markee-Berke where are you. Both of you phone numbers did not go through. Please email me.
Greg Bertsch 11/25/07	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 Jeff Godfrey though! I live on the east coast now in Rhode Island about a block away from the beach... makes for a great summer. Drop me a line if you remember me!
Debbie Arnold (Victor) 10/30/07	Just moved from Alaska and back in sunny California. We could still be here for another 2 years which means I'll possibly be up for a 30 year reunion. 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, JoAnn Lopez PS - Bill Loaded "then and now" photos of me.
JoAnn Lopez 10/29/07	Jenny Joy! Of course I remember you! I remember things from 30+ years ago perfectly. Its remembering what I did yesterday that stumps me sometimes.. LOL. We have officially turned into our parents. Yikes!
Shirley (Reno) Armstrong 10/28/07	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 10/27/07	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!
Kathy Hardwick 10/24/07	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 10/5/07	Does anyone know a reliable realtor in San Jose? I live in NC now and would like to talk to a realtor there in the San Jose area. If you do, can you email me at apexkathy AT yahoo DOT com? Thanks.
Ondine Rennie Orta 8/5/07	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.
Shirley Armstrong (Reno) 7/14/07	David Parag: Sorry. Got new e-mail address. Please write me at NOVICEASM at AOL dot COM or WIRELESSDM at YAHOO dot COM. Either way, I will get it. Nice to hear that you are still around. Hope to hear from you when you get a chance from your busy schedule. Shirley
Gordon Smith 6/26/07	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.
Suresh Parag 5/27/07	Hey: Shirley (RENO) Harrison: Your email ain't working girl!! What's up with that? Are we ALL going to get together for the 30th reunion? This is a perfect opportunity and enough TIME to prepare for one, agree? I hope so, may be we all should pitch in to MAKE IT WORK!! I am sure most of you are already a hefty, healthy Millionares!! I am NOT wealthy at all but very RICH ha...ha...ha. I am in Los Angeles for the past two weeks and not going home till end of the month, lot's of Criminal and Civil cases here in Pasadena/Compton and Gardena area not to mention Downtown L.A.

Janet (Morrow) Gallagher 3/18/07	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
Ondine Orta 3/17/07	Happy St. Paddy's Day all!!
Annette (Solito) Vizcarra 3/16/07	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!
Dyanne Chae 3/16/07	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?
Mitch Boydstun 3/16/07	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...
Janet (Morrow) Gallagher 3/16/07	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 long lost friends from the past. Janet
Dyanne Chae 3/16/07	Jenny Joy? Any relation to Heather Happy? How are you?
Bent Hellested 3/16/07	Jenny: No I don't remember you. Did you go to O.G. ?
Rod Simon 3/16/07	Ran across this website again today. How's everyone doing? Sue Warren, I ran into a lady that said she knows your sister. What have you been up to? Hope everyone is having a good 2007!

Louis Wilson 6/27/06	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.
Louis Wilson 5/28/06	Hey Terry Chapin, What up Homie!!!!!!!!! I remember you - how could I forget you. Dude this is what I remember about you. meeting a close friend in the 7th grade hangin tough, playing badmiton in the gym, us running each other to death and you always winning! Then you moving to Tracy. But still you went to Oak Grove cause you didn't want to leave us. Then it being a sad sad day when you had to leave. Would love to hear from you. Louis
Bent Hellested 5/23/06	I hope everyone is doing well.
David Pipe 5/21/06	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.
Carrie McDowell 5/20/06	Hi All, Anyone know how to contact Greg Garrison? He contacted me a while ago on Classmates.com but I'm not a member and haven't been able to get through to him. Thanks, Carrie
Terry Chaffin 5/9/06	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.
Terry Chase 4/21/06	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.
Shellie Pena 4/13/06	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.
Louis Wilson 4/12/06	Hey all - just wanted to tell everybody I got married last weekend to a wonderful woman!
Dawn Perteet 4/12/06	Hey Mitch- Still remember driving up to visit you in Auburn in my little orange "slug bug". I actually live in Auburn now. Tried to look up your parents so I could visit but was unable to locate them. Contact me at dawn.perteet AT hp.com.
Mitch Boydstun 4/11/06	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! Mitch Boydstun Class of 1980
Carrie White 3/27/06	Is it really almost April already?
Ondine Orta 3/8/06	Just browsing through and wanted to say Hello! Hope everyone is healthy and doing well!
Angela Jones (Carter) 2/22/06	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.
Molly Blevins (Ritsch) 2/22/06	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...
Shellie Walters 2/22/06	Hi Tami, Ann Yanneta is on Classmates.com. Don't know if recent info, but if you pay a fee, you are then allowed to send an email to her.
Tami Lilienthal 2/21/06	Does anyone have any information on the whereabouts of Ann Yannetta? If so, please email me or post on this board. I would love to contact her, so if you have any information on her, please let me know. It would mean so much to me! Thank you, Tami Lilienthal, Class of 1980
