OLDS YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW!!  AND BEING A NURSE FOR 44 YEARS, PUTS ONE IN A CATAGORY ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT...  THEY DO NOT!!, AND I REPEATE - DO NOT MAKE NURSES FROM OUR MOLD ANY MORE!!!   AS YOU CAN SEE, CHOPPY, INTERRUPTED CONVERSATION... *(HA, WORK GETS IN THE WAY)* THANKS AGAIN FOR THAT WONDERFUL WALK DOWN THAT 'MEMORABLE LANE'...  TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND THOSE YOU LOVE,  GERI...

Hi Judy

Hey don't want to complain. but - - - - - my email is showing mine changed a year ago.

Was: buscons@sbcglobal.net

Now sarawarr@att.net 4-08

Please change this for me.

Also, is it really true that the memories page hasn't been updated since Feb. 2006? I don't hear much about what our classmates have been up to, but I love to keep tabs on things.

Thanks

Marjorie Garrison

Hi All,

I'm awufully busy and will be for the rest of the year and probably through 2009.  We're adding a in-law unit onto our house because my parents are going to be living with us.  They no longer can drive,  my mother has heart problems and my Dad has Alzheimer.  If you want to view what's happening, , take a look at my HOUSE CONSTRUCTION DIARY which you can find at:

Hi Judy -

 

Thanks for reconnecting! Also thanks for the link you sent in a separate email. I'll see if I can populate it with my recent photo, etc. It seems when we reach a certain "age" that we start remembering our old friends even more. To answer your question, yes - it's OK to add the info I sent to the LUHS website. If I recall, the last time I saw and met with Pat it was when I lived in Santa Clara in 1966 after I returned from the service. He was working for the telephone company at the time. I was in touch with Stan Melchor for a time back in the mid eighties - he seemed to be doing well.

 

I would like to touch base with Mike Haney if you know where he might be these days.

 

Thanks again Judy. You have an awesome site!

 

Mike

Hi Judy -

 

Saw that you have recorded Brian Pietzke as deceased - thanks! I also connected with Jerry Bartells a couple of years ago. He was living in Wenatchee, WA at the time, however a websearch doesn't list him there any longer.

 

Can you send me the private URL so I can see what I've been missing? Also, feel free to use any of the previous email info that I sent earlier for an update - We also have three sons, all living within ten miles, each have two children (four girls, two boys).

 

Do you know of a website for LUHS class of '62? (from Linda)

 

Thanks!

 

Mike

Hi Judy!

 I just wanted to contact you with my new address & location so I can stay up to date on the "class of '60". I've just retired after nearly 40 years as an engineer, and am now starting a second career as executive pastor at our church in Tacoma, WA.

 Also wanted to let you know that I was talking yesterday with a new member of our church whose last name was Pietzke, so naturally I asked her if she was related (through marriage) to Brian Pietzke who I graduated with in '60. Brian and I hung out together along with Joe Reiswig and Pat Alexander whom I have lost track of. She told me that her husband Bob's cousin was Edgar Pietzke, so I looked him up on the internet, found he had passed away, and then tried Brian - only to be saddened by his obituary whic I attach here in case you need to update your records. By the way - if you know the whereabouts of either Pat or Joe, please forward them on to me.

 Sorry I have not been keeping in touch over the years - I missed the 40th in 2000, but was able to reconnect with Dave Cristofani in Reno for "Hot August Nights" which was great!. We will probably try to do that again in 2010. Here's my contact info for home and also our "GenX" church website where you will find my wife Linda (class of '62) listed under "Staff". Linda and I fell in love when she moved to Lodi with her family in my last year of school, then they moved back to LA. I remember commuting back and forth between Lodi and LA during my first year at Delta College. I joined the USAF in October of '61 and we were married on December 29, 1962 right in the middle of the Cuban missle crisis. We have been together for 45 years and feel like we could go another 45 if the Lord would allow it.

 Your friend,
