Michael Corbett (1962)

Thank you Sue. I agree with the fellow from the class of 72. I have five children and twelve grandchildren and they are the best part of my life. With a little luck I'll see some great grandchildren in the future. Take care.

Sue Ferreira (Nunes) (1967)

To Mike, I agree granchildren are the best.. I have 8 grandchirldren and 3 great grandchildren.. Love them all to the moon and back.. Sue

Lenore Albers (Ryan) (1968)

I wish I had more grandchildren. I only have 2, a boy (10) and a girl.(9) But according to my other 2 children, that is all the grand kids I will get ;-(   We only get to see them about once a year, But I agree, I love them to the moon and back.  Lenore Albers-Ryan

To David Merrick (1970)

Thanks, David, for the information on the closure of PHS and the asbestos aspects. I had not known about that issue.

My dad worked in a lumber yard after WWII (exposure to creosote), and then in sheet metal heating and air conditioning for the rest of his working days. He suffered much exposure to asbestos and, in fact, died of asbestosis. It's a suffocating disease destroying lung tissue that will never regenerate. He was 83 when he died in 2006. He had been the recipient of a class action suit over the asbestos exposure (I don't know the details). 

It's disturbing to know the facts of the hidden secrets held by industry for years until so many people are damaged.

Tom Brody (1969)

Dear friends from Class of '69 and from earlier and later years.  Here is some good news.  I just concluded a lengthy job search.  It was painless, because I'd been doing part-time (30-50%) consulting work all along.  Anyway, during the past two years at job interviews, they made comments to me such as:  (1)  Is your father still alive? (2) Is your wife retired? (3) YOU ARE OLD!!! (4) When did you graduate from college?  (5) You don't fit in.  (6) Shouldn't you be retired?    The first of these comments made no sense to me, but after a few months I realized the meaning of these comments.  The meaning of all of these comments was exactly the same (but that is a direction we will not be heading to, in this message).  The happy ending, is that I started full-time work at a biotech company in San Diego a month ago. Even though I had to relocate from the Bay Area and rent an apartment in San Diego, the job promises to be the best job ever.   In leaving the Bay Area, I had to discontinue my periodic visits to Pinnacles National Park, located an hour south of San Jose.  The climb to the top (see photo of me at the top) is a great adventure, and I recommend it to my fellow baby-boomers.  Best regards, Tom Brody, Class of 1969

Jon Gledhill (1969)

Congrats Tom!  Glad to hear about your new position. A big move at this stage, but happy to see you’re excited about it and that you’ve embraced the change. Cheers to your continued success and happiness!

Alicia Fields Rudnicki (1969)

Congratulations, Tom. As I recall, you love Anza Borrego, so this new job will give you opportunities for hiking and taking photos there. 

Julie Garcia (Mackenzie) (1968)

Hey Tom, congratulations!  If one must leave the SF Bay Area, San Diego is a great place to live. You may not remember me, but you were in my husband's Jim  MacKenzie's Journalism class your junior year.   Well, over the many years since that time Jim has often shared first with me and later with friends and acquaintances the story of the cartoon about the boy and his dog named Karate that his student, Tom Brody wrote and illustrated for Pacific High's Current. I just wanted to share that with you so you would know what a lasting impression you made on us.  It appears you are still making an impression on people!

I wonder, do you still have that cartoon somewhere that you could share with our fellow alumni?  

Pat Carvalho (1971)

Your a stud Tom Brody. No dust on you. Pedal to the medal

Wayne Plemmons (Plemmons) (1966)

Wish I could attend the Halloween party, but a 1500 mile round trip there and back would be a bit taxing to say the least.  I hope everyone has a fantastic time.

Lynda Lowe (Serrano) (1966)

Sadly I am posting about the passing of a dear friend Dale Devine Scott class of 1966, who left this world on Sept 17, 2018 after a valiant fight against cancer. She was a great mother and grandmother and wife who had the most amazing sense of humor and lived life to the fullest. We shared alot of fun memories sbout our years at Pacific and continued our friendship on facebook. I will miss reading about her latest adventures with her husband Leland and their cat Finn. Rest in peace Dale.

Sharon Whalen (Talsma (Previously Johnson)) (1967)

Wishing you peaceful rest fellow Viking 😢

Richard Savino (1966)

Phyllis Baker (Lively) (1966)

Heartfelt sympathy to Dale’s beloved family & friends. May God wrap His loving arms around them and comfort them during this difficult time. May your memories of Dale keep her close until you’re together again someday.  She is happy & healthy at her Heavenly home with Jesus. Be at Peace now with other Pacific Vikings who went before you sweet Dale.

FYI,  Got a call from Joe Bustos and he wanted me to let everyone know that he and his family are safe.  They did lose their home but have both their cars.  He is staying with family in Oroville for now.  Unsure of what direction the future will take.

Sue Ferreira (Nunes) (1967)
