Subject - A special request

Hi Herman,

I have a special request of you..........

Would it be possible the next time you send out information on your class site to place a note in it to ask if anyone Knows of anybody from the class of '56 to please contact them and let them know that Ralph Greenwood, class of '56, rgreen37@verizon.net (310) 377-8509, is trying to locate anyone from the class of '56 to get them to attend the 55-year reunion.

His database is not up to date and could use any help in locating class mates.

Thanks

Gordon

Since I need to notify the restaurant by next Monday of how many meals of each kind we will need, please email me ASAP regarding your choice(s) from the above menu.

Looking forward to seeing you all real soon, Judy (jabergen@jps.net)

From Herman Brown, February 17, 2009:

Hi All,

We just received the sad news that our long-time friend Albert Brandt, Class of 1957, passed away yesterday.

One of his sons, Tim, just called us, and Denny Barton sent me more information a few minutes ago.

From Herman Brown, September 18, 2008:

Hi All,

The Manhattan Beach Street Faire is coming up soon for Saturday October 4th and Sunday October 5th. It would be a fun place for us to be able to get together again.

If you would like to meet up with other classmates and maybe plan a meal or two, please feel free to contact Judy (Cleland) Bergen at jabergen@jps.net, and she will try to coordinate a meeting place and meal choices.

More faire info at http://www.mbfair.org/

Hope to see you there!

From Herman Brown via Laura D, July 18, 2008:

Subject: MICOHI SR DITCH DAY

Hi Herman,

LindaZ (Zimmerman), Linda M (Meyers), & I have decided to relive our Sr. Ditch Day activity by taking that infamous trip to Catalina on Fri., July 25. Think anyone from our class would like to do the same? 

We will be going on the Catalina Express out of San Pedro departing at 8:50am & returning that same day at 6:45pm. If others would like to go as well then they could Email us to let us know so we can look for them on the boat. OR, they may opt to go to Catalina on a different ferry or some other mode of transportation. If that be the case, perhaps we could all meet somewhere for lunch. The 3 of us have not been to Catalina in several years so we are not familiar with the restaurants in the Avalon area to select one for the get-together. Perhaps others would have a good suggestion or an idea about that. 

So, what do you think, Herman? Would it be worth posting on the MICOHI website to see if anyone else might be interested?

All the best, LauraD

From a 1958 grad, Glenda Anderson, 6/02/08:

Herman,

This is the request of a member of the class of '58. I would appreciate it if you could post it or pass it along. I am looking for a copy of the '57 edition of Hoofprints.

If anyone has a copy that perhaps they could take to a print shop and have copied, I would appreciate it very much. I would, of course pay for the printing and postage to have it mailed to me. Thanking you all in advance for your consideration.

From Carol (Nix) Squire, 12/22/07 (attended 1954-1956):

Herman, thanks for responding to my site on classmates. No I didn't graduate with you guys in '57 but I had a lot of friends there that I am hoping I can contact. I am wanting to get in contact with CHARLOTTE REDMON and NANCY EASON. You can make my email available to everyone. 

I am living in Richardson, Texas which is just north of Dallas. I am married and have one daughter, two granddaughters and four great grandchildren. I am retired but my husband doesn't want to retire just yet. I was an engineering graphics designer and am retired from that. I went on your web site for Mira Costa and you have done an excellent job. 

What a hoot to look at everyone then and now.

From me, 9/14/07:

In case anyone is interested in seeing some of the our own family's life growing up in the beach area in the 40's and 50's, you can go to this page on my sister Louise's web site, louises-homepage.com/mom-dad2.htm and continue traveling through the years.

Important note from Chris Bader, 9/03/07:

Please let everyone know that we have moved the starting time for our open house to 6:00PM.  It was originally stated that it would start at 7:00 PM but we thought it would be better to move it up an hour. Everything else is the same.  Get the word out if you can.  As I stated before, you are doing a great job and I really enjoy looking at the pictures.  Ah---- memories, memories....

Let them all know that we start at 6:00 PM please...

Regards, Chris

I and others would love to see any photos taken at the 10th- and 20th-year reunions. If any of you have any or can get them, please let Herman and I know and we will arrange to get them posted. Scanning them, etc. is easy and we will help you do it.
