Best
Wishes to all going this weekend... although I am unable to be
there, I have enjoyed catching up people and plan to call upon
some of you when I do make my next visit home - and home it will
always be... Berkeley is a special place - one we can feel lucky
and proud to have experienced at that moment in its history and
as part our personal life journies. This weekend is for celebrating
our pasts, friends and those high school experiences captured
as vivid memories - things which conrtibute in many ways to who
we are today. Enjoy the time together and the opportunity to reflect.

We've been out 20 years already? Wow, how time
flies. Anyway, I recently injured my back and, as a result, I
will not be at the 20th reunion. I had planned to be there and
am very disappointed I won't make it now. Twenty year old "hellos"
to any BHS friends that still remember me! If anyone wants to
get in touch, my home phone number is 303 499-6717. The rest of
my family is still in the Berkeley area and I usually visit about
once a year. I guess I should mention that I'm still single (but
in a long term relationship) and am employed as a biochemical
engineer working on biofuels production at the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. Jim

How sad to see the "In Memory"
site. A big dose of mortality, yes? Just found your site tonight,
was unaware of the reunion. Countess Williams told me about it
ont he telephone tonight. I have to fly down to LA on Thursday,
and hope to have dinner with her and catch up. Don't think I will
be able to attend the reunion at such late notice, but it was
very nice to read everyone else's virtual commments in the guest
book. Sounds as though many of you have not left the bay area.
I love to travel, but always enjoy coming home. Even with all
the changes (the traffic!!!), we still enjoy stunning vistas,
weather, food and adventure. Enjoy the reunion!

Hi
to everyone reading. Just thought I would check in as well. Is
it me or does anyone else have 20 year old images of the email
authors? These people are in their late 30's, but I'm picturing
them at 18! Of course this could be a good thing, or a bad thing.
So, to update you on my image... my hair is rapidly thinning,
my nose is bigger (why is that?), and what I thought were real
cool oblique muscles turned out to be fat love handles that keep
shaking when I run. Becky Chambers' eariler email gave me an idea,
so I started snooping a bit. Here are some facts half way through
senior year, on Jan. 28, 1977: The Dow Jones opened at 954.54.....A
new Toyota pickup was $3,488.....A Datsun 280Z was going for $7,450.....A
4 bdrm house in the Thousand Oaks area was selling for $85,000;
a BIG house in the Claremont Hills was 175,000..... Movies: Playing
at the California, The Enforcer; at the UA 4 was King Kong; at
the Oaks Theater was Rocky.....In the music stores: Earth, Wind,
& Fire - Spirit; Boston - Boston; The Jacksons - The Jacksons;
Loggins & Messina - The Best of Friends. Of course there's
lots of stuff to add about TV, sport, world news, etc. but this
is getting long. Finally, here's something maybe others can add
to about BHS: Favorite Class: Mr. Houck's CA History Favorite
Teacher: John Martinez - by a long shot Most Useful Class 20 Years
Later: Typing!! (PC's, who knew?) Best Memory: Too many to list!
(yeah I know..sappy) See you on the 18th.

looking forward to it. Sure wish I had put a regular pic in the

Who????? made up all of those names mentioned
by Matt Watson? Matt, Jeff Houston, and John Laetsch were the
quick minds behind some of these mostly benign creations. I'm
not sure many people will recognize all of them--any clues?. In
fact, I've never heard of Chimney, Peli, Kagdog, and Snappy (or
were you just making those up to fill-in a few lines?). And, wasn't
Magnet Back a generic name for a fish? Any additional names? We'll
be thinking of you in Emeryville from this dusty part of I-80.
Hope everyone has a a good time. Keep the BHS spirit alive!

This message was just forwarded to me from a
friend -- apropos, considering the reunion next week. Remember,
I'm posting to make you :-)) -- not incite a flame war! Here it
is: "Feeling old? If not, consider this: People starting
college this fall were born in 1980; They have no recollection
of the Reagan era; Black Monday 1987 (incidentally, the same year
as our 10-year reunion -- sorry! -- just trying to get a :-))!)
is as meaningful to them as the Great Depression; They have no
memory of a time before M-TV; They were prepubescent when the
Persian Gulf War was waged; Their world always has included AIDS;
and finally, ... drumroll please ... Having not lived through
the Disco Scare, they can't possibly romanticize the '70s."

to get to know a lot of people through email that I never got
to know in High School ... I was too preoccupied with other less
productive activities - mainly in the park across the street :-)
... Even if you knew me in high school I doubt you'd recognize
me now! I'm hoping that after the reunion people can return to
this web sight and leave a few stories for others who may have
not had a chance to attend. I'll be posting some pictures from

Hey,
just checking in again befor the actual event. Does anybody know
if there will be many attendees from the School of the Atrs or
MSA? Just wondering who's going to show up. Erin- I know just
what you mean about pants with the crotch at the knees, sometimes
I can't even imagine what is holding these kids pants up! Though
I have to say I can remember wearing pants that were soo tight
I could barely zip them up. From one extreme to another? I'm living
in Oakland with my partner and our dog (a weimaraner), Berkeley
these days has gotten just a little too P.C. for me, but I love
living in the Rockridge district in Oakland- the quintessential
"Urban Village". Looking forward to seeing everyone
at the reunion. Just like at the prom, my "date" will
be Laura Gorton West. Yeah, we still get together, though not
as often and things somehow don't usually come with the high sense
of the dramatic that they always seemed to have when we were young
and naive. Hope we have a great turnout. Eric

Briar - don't crash Grizzly and Shasta - I heard
their folks aren't out of town after all. Try us in Emeryville,
instead - we can do the bumb and brick house and funkify if you're
still a young man, "baby" "ohhhohhhh". Larry
Becker - Nebraska is not too far away. I wish you were coming.
You know how I know it's been 20 years? I hate pants with the
crotches hanging down to the knees, and none of them want to work
that hard, and piercing the tongue looks masochistic. See, I sound
old. But I've got the same spirit. I'm married, no children, have
2 german shepherd dogs who are smarter than some of my friends
and we are doing search and rescue work with them. I still am
constantly on a spiritual path, meditate, live one day at a time,
love poetry and dancing . . . and the best news of all - all the
donahues are turning out great - marrying great partners and having
little ones. I feel quite blessed. Will be great to see everyone.

see a number of familiar names -- Barbie Ruskin, and also Heidi
Farwell, who checked in all the way from Kauai (Barbie and Heidi,
remember partying on that Kauai beach in '77 with Eric Rymland?
I don't blame you for going back, Heidi!) I also see Tim McElheney
and Kent McCue: Hello to my former Buena Vista Way neighbors!
... Though I won't be attending the reunion, I've been having
a grand old time reuniting online with a few of you BHSers --
Julian Henkin, Simone Otus (I just got your baby announcement
for Tench Mahmut Coxe -- congrats, girl!), Jennifer Cobb, Larry
Becker, and John Laetsch. I hope we all stay in touch; in the
meantime, don't let that old married man Chris Casimere slouch
off on attending (Mindy, will you make sure of it for me?), and
may you all have a rip-roaring, hide-the-silverware, won't-see-nothing-like-it-'til-our-50th-reunion
party! I absolutely plan on being there for that one. I'll be

Isn't this Great! Thanks to all who are doing
the work putting this together. Hey I am still in Berkeley. Email
me. I hope the $100 price tag does not deter anyone from attending.

Hi
again. Just got my invitation to the party in the mail, and I
wanted to coment about the price. I personally don't have a problem
with it, since I currently have a good job, but I worry about
some of our peers who might not be doing so well. This would exclude
them based on income, and it doesn't seem fair. I understand that
it costs a lot to put on something like this, so I was wondering
if there would be some way to make allowances. Whaddaya think,
organization committee?

Thank you James for creating this web site.
It is incredible to think that we graduated 20 years ago. I look
forward to catching up on the lives of many high school friends
with whom I have lost touch. Yes, my married name is the same
as my maiden name, just spelled differently!

Hey guys ... I'm not from you rclass,
school, city or state but I am organizing our Class O' 77 reunion
here in Austin, TX. Got any good ideas? We are planning a 70 fashion
show and awards. I think this site is great. Good luck! And "Oh
Thank Heaven for the Class of '77"! (Hey, it was the 70s
... what do you expect?)

It
has only been five years since the last one, right? Time flies
with work, kids and other family matters and you don't remember
that it has been 20 YEARS! since high school. This a great website
to check out. I'm seeing names that I have not seen in a long
time. I have talked with Chris Comfort and he is planning to come
to the reunion. Does anyone know the whereabouts of one Oscar
Bradley ?

This is really too cool. I can't believe it
has been 20 years already! I dont feel (eek!) almost 40... Ellen,
James - great to hear that you're still around! I will be at the
reunion - wouldn't miss it for the world, so will Heidi, trying
to convince the guys it would be fun... but not being BHS grads...
Look forward to seeing all of you in October!

Virtual
Yellowjackets... Glad I finally took my old pal Dennis Brown's
advice and visited this website... Any other alums barking up
the writing/filmmaking/theatre/comics/interactive, etc., &
et al. trees? Maybe we should form some kinda arts caucus and
help each other along... (I actually got a theatre piece out of
our 10 yr. reunion, which I workshopped down here in L.A. -- these
reunion things are *redolent*!)... Expatriated down here for awhile,
married & parenting and missing the north -- which I don't
get to visit often enough... Looking forward to our double--decade
rendezvous! Cheers...

Just wanted to let folks know that I have been
in touch with Russell Barnett, Scott Hansen, Karen San Martin,
Alison (Dundes) Renteln and Paul Renteln. They will spread the
"reunion word" to those they keep in contact with. I
also "saw" Marilyn Adamson and the mother of Jason Winett,
but unfortunately I wasn't able to make contact with either of
them. Guess that is what happens when one doesn't leave Berkeley!

James, thanks lots for taking the initiative
to create such a sight that so many are enjoying. Looks great!
I'm an active committee member and am plugged into the details.
Expecting a great turnout and events (including picnic). Everyone
help spread the word and ensure the reunion success. It will take
us all to create that success. Look forward to seeing many of
you in October. For those of you who can't make it stay in touch
and you can order t-shirts, memories books and still be included.
Enjoy your day!!

Wow,
I was looking at our yearbook today- sure doesn't seem like that
was twenty years ago! I remember us as having really wild hair
and fashions, but to me today we look like normal kids. Of course
our jeans were tight, not baggy like today, but hey, fashions
change. I'm welcome to hearing from others who were at BHS in
the seventies, at the time I couldn't wait to get out, but looking
back now, twenty years later, they were some pretty good times.
As they say "youth is wasted on the young". To Steve
from Australia: yes, I know the whereabouts of both Charles McNeal
and Laura Gorton now Laura West. If you wish to contact them,
please e-mail me, as I don't have e-mail addresses for them to
give you. Eric Warren

I'm
class of '75, actually, but I see there are a few other non-'77
folks here so I guess I'm eligible. Love to see some of us from'74,
'75, '76 post, too. A L S O : If enough of you from any of these
classes have AOL addresses, maybe we can set up a chatroom now
and then, and have some virtual mini-reunions. AOL isn't good
for much, but that's one thing we could take advantage of. Anyway,
if you DO have an AOL address or know of a classmate who does,
please post it here. Or feel free to email me. It would be fun
to be reminded of some of those old familiar (and unfamiliar)
faces.

Well,
actually I'm an imposter. I'm from the great class of '78. But
I'm now teaching science at BHS, and would like to offer a tour
of campus to any folks returning for the renuion. We opened the
completely remodeled G building last year, and are opening the
new H building this summer. Lots has changed since we were students.
I'm also working on the BHS web page, and we are trying to create
an online alumni database. If any of you have CGI experience and
would like to help with this project, please drop me an email.
Good luck with your reunion. Let me know if a group wants a tour
(we'll only hit you up lightly for contributions!!) Lee Trampleasure
