Guestbook

This message is for JOHN LAETSCH. I bought a copy of Hells Angels by H. Thompson at half price books in Albany. It had your name on it and I could not resist looking your name up. This seemed the best place to make this little comment. I live down the street from a little bar where you can still see The Real Deal most any day. Drop a line sometime.

I am trying to contact an old American friend who lived in Spain before graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Berkeley, I think in 77. She was Diana Cohen. Can anyone help please?

Had a great time at the 25th reunion! Saw a bunch of people that I knew from the old days. It's good to hear what you guys are doing, and what you have been doing for the past 25 years.

Sorry to have missed yet another reunion! No excuses for #30! Loved all the pictures, y'all look like grown-ups now! Quick note to Dennis Brown's top 40 list. Graduation song, "How time flies" By George Benson, not the O'Jays (just ask songbird Lynda, "Hi Lynda!")Plus it could not possibly be the class of '77 without the elements....Earth, Wind and FIRE (can I get an Amen out there!) You all look great, happy and healthy and I wish you the best.............kim

Well I've made a few changes to the Guestbook so I thought I'd better write a comment myself to test it :-) I want to say thanks to everyone for thanking me for my work on the website. It is nice to hear that this site has become so helpful to people in reconnecting with old friends. I enjoy keeping up the site which keeps me connected with everyone as well. Its a fun hobby and knowing that its helping the BHS community is a real bonus! Thanks again. I personally had a really good time at the reunion. It felt a little less pressured than the last for me, I think everyone as they mature are taking life a little slower and more relaxed. Its really strange to think of those days sitting on "The Steps" and wasting away the days (at least for me) ... it wasn't until a few years after high school that it really hit me to get my act together and growup. Now with my oldest, the same age as I was when I met Ellen, I am so happy to see that he is interested in school and adapting so much better than I did at the time. I also want to thank the other reunion committee members for all their hard work and time put into the arrangements: believe me, its not easy to organize and plan all the details and make sure it all comes together. I had very little to do with that part of the reunion and the committee really deserves a lot of credit. I had a great time catching up with old friends and looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to you all, committee and classmates, for making the 25th reunion events such a success, including those of you that couldn't come but signed the virtual guest book (thanks to James). I've been involved in planning all 3 and feel this was one of the best. Thanks to all who came from near and far (William Kumai won the farthest from Japan!). Whether you're single, married once or multiple times, have a whole tribe of kids or none at all, are grandparents (or even greats?), successful entrepreneurs, or doing the same ol thing ... we love you all. The diversity and pioneer times we grew up with in Berkeley are treasures. Keep the momentum moving ... keep in touch with each other, support each other, and keep being EXACTLY who you are! We all make a postive difference in the world!!! See you next time!

Dear Friends, At this point in history and in my life, the reunion reconnected me to the gratitude I feel for my "Berkeley" experiences. I wish my children could attend a high school in which everyone "goes through it together." Thanks to all who worked to keep us all connected!

Greetings! The 25th reunion was great! The next morning, my wife asked me (jokingly) whether I spoke with any old girlfriends from high school. Well, no girlfriends in high school...that was not part of my high school experience :( but I told her I did see some great people from my past - Michael Poe and his lovely wife, you are still quite the gentleman; Larry Becker, still humble as ever, we all can learn a bit of humility from you; Matt Watson and Marie Parker, what a handsome couple!; Storrie Kliot, it took a few minutes but I do remember you and your sister, it was great talking to you; Alan Odom, still got that million dollar smile; Anthony Hill, the original Mr. Nice Guy; William Kumai, smart as ever; Connie Lim, a person who always had a smile or a kind word for everyone; Michelle Coleman, where did you get so much charm?; Mitzi Hartman, thanks for reminding us how special it was, and is, to be part of the Berkeley experience, where acceptance, not just tolerance, of diversity is the norm; Wanda La Protti, still as pretty as I remembered; Jon Taylor, my best friend in high school and still one of the most INTERESTING people I know! Thanks to everyone for making the night a special one and I hope to see you all again 5 years from now. I am sorry I had to miss the picnic. I am sure that was fun as well. Take care, Wei Huey

Hi All! I can't believe I'm not making it to the reunion. We are out of town. (Erin, your posting prompted me to write.) I, too, keep my radio locked to 98.1! My husband has tried to convince me that good songs have been written in the last 25 years, but I know better!! Anyway, I live the typical suburban life. I've been married for 16 years and we have 3 beautiful boys, ages 12, 10 and 8. They keep us busy and we have lots of fun! I help run a family foundation in Walnut Creek which is very fulfilling work. I'm still in touch with Terri Verhoeff (who is living in Fullerton with two children) and Dominique Schurman and Susan Yamagata (both class of 1978). They are in Danville. Anyway, as I said, I'm sorry to miss the reunion and send a huge "thanks" to the reunion committee for all their hard work. Have a great time and I look foward to reading "post-reunion" comments.

Hi, all-- I likewise had been assuming -- for about five years! -- that I was going to make this reuniuon, but a confluence of various life crises, and the need to stay in L.A. for a job (of the temporary sort, being showbiz connected) that starts early in the Monday A.M., have conspired to keep me here, in a town south of Bakersfield. On the parenting side, two loving boys to show for my life's journey, to date (8 and 3), and on the career side, have even found my way into print as a children's book author -- the "Danger Boy" series, for middle grade readers. It's a time travel series, partially set (of course) in the Bay Area... a switch of publishers has delayed the third installment, which will actually give me time to write it! I still get back to Berkeley once or twice a year, and am still in touch with dear pals that go back all the way to Cragmont! I, too, ask for copious picture taking and posting, so I can virtually attend the 25th. Had a gas (can we still talk like that?) at the 10th & 20th...may the wind (coming off the Bay?) be ever at your collective backs, etc. Hollers, Mark Williams

Wowwhatarunonsentence,huh? No, I'm not an English teacher, but I play one on tv. No wait, that's not tv, that's my life. :) I'm out here in the sweltering valley trying to become a park ranger. Quite a grand thing, hope I make it. If I get out to Berkeley this weekend it'll be to the picnic at Lake Anza...hope I recognize someone. *muah!*

I wanted to wish everyone luck at the reunion! I have switched jobs (Special Educator/Community-Based Learning Coordinator at Stowe High School) and have a mandatory training that ends on Friday afternoon. The 20th was the greatest, I'm sure this will rock, and I look forward to the 30th! A special thanks to all of the hard work involved in making this site and the reuinion spirit stay alive.

I can't believe it's been 25 years already. We still look good and feel like the same kids back in 1977. I'm bringing my sister, Pat (class 1978) with me to this reunion, since she was my shadow back in high school, we should really have a BLAST! I look forward to seeing everyone!

Dear Friends and Classmates: I won't be able to attend the 25th Reunion because it's my 5th wedding anniversary and my wife and I have had long-standing plans. I had such a kick at the 10th Reunion, mostly seeing what an interesting group of adults we have become. I took growing up in Berkeley for granted: diversity, creative thinking, progressive values, women's rights, caring about ideas, issues and the arts. Wrongo!! These are rare and precious commodities in the rest of the world. So. A brief update on my life. I've been doing environmental work for my career, and am now at the California Energy Commission serving the public's interest. Got a Public Policy degree from Cal along the way. Traveled extensively through Europe, Alaska and South Pacific, and lived in Europe for several years. Love the wilderness. Used to play guitar and bass. Happily married to a New Englander, although no kids yet. Lost my mother and brother recently. At the Reunion, I'd seek out the folks from the Jacket, Yearbook, sports teams (swimming, water polo and crew), and my old neighborhood haunts to see how everyone is and what they have done with their lives. Take lots of pictures - and label them! Be sure to play lots of Earth Wind and Fire and Tower of Power. Best Regards to all. I hope to make the next one - Jim

Greetings to all. I'm so sorry that I cannot make the 25th reunion, but I've signed up for my sweatshirt. (I was going to bring my son, Rodney, as my escort.) My schedule has changed and I must be out of town this weekend, so have a drink for me. I guess that I'll see you at the 30th. And, I look forward to seeing all the photos!

I'll see everyone this Friday. All I EVER have to do is put on Kiss FM 98.1 and I have all of you packed into my car with me, dancing. So I look forward to the dance, to the hugs, to seeing everyone older, wiser, more humble, but still spirited.

When I think about the 25 years that have passed; I feel like I have lived many different lives. I have thought about the people that I grew up with- I have wondered where their lives have taken them. John Muir, "Lincoln", Willard, West Campus, and BHS. Cecily (Batey) Caceu lives in Portland; we are still good friends after all of those years. I am a Pastry Chef in Honolulu- I spent a lot of time in many restaurants and hotels in CA, HI (and in Belgium and France). I have always ended back in Hawaii- this time to stay, I am tired of moving. 17 years here (total), I really love Hawaii. I don't get back to Berkeley very often. My parents moved to Mendocino when they retired. I do miss the Berkeley Bowl! Have a great reunion, if you are ever in Honolulu- say "Hi".

Hello to one and all! Memories of BHS: Bruce Lee and the Kung Fu craze; Disco; the sweet lyrics of Earth, Wind & Fire; sunny daze sitting in front of the school people-watching; trying to fit in; trying not to fit in; studying?; long hair; too much introspection; last but not least, friendships. Sometimes I wake up and I feel like that kid in high school again....however, as the years roll by, these feelings arise less frequently. After graduation, I really thought I was going to take the "road less traveled" but as fate would have it, my life has been conventional: graduated from UC Berkeley, earned an MBA, happily married for 16 years, 2 kids, a boy and girl, a dog....and so on. Life has been good. I hope that your "road" has lead you to a good one as well. I have not kept in touch with anyone from my class but I have run into a few people now and then. I might be away on business during the reunion but if not, I will try to attend. I am not sure anyone will remember me but I do recognize some of the names here - Zerda Paige, Mindy Scharlin, Matt Watson, Michael Poe, Connie Lim, Larry Becker, William Kumai. Take care....Peace & Joy Wei Huey

Wei Huey · PIEDMONT, Ca · Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 12:37pm

This will be the first BHS reunion that I have attended I moved around so much in the past I mised all the past reunions This will be a lot of fun for me I recognize some of the names on the guest list. This will be a big blast from the past for me .

I have been teaching English in Japan since 1991--which makes it a bit difficult to attend reunions! I hope to be in Berkeley about the time of the reunion this time, however. Wherever I go, I always say, you can't beat the weather in Berkeley! Out where I am, near Nagoya in central Japan, the summers are hot and humid, often having the highest temperature in Japan, including Okinawa. I teach at a junior college; it's like being in high school every day!

I hope to make the 25th reunion. I can't believe that so many years have gone by. I've been married for 23 years and have 5 children--(3 birth, 1 adopted and 1 guardianship). My husband and I were foster parents for several years and at one time had 10 children. We have been very blessed. Our children have made us very proud. Our oldest son, age 21, is serving a mission for our church; our oldest daughter, almost 20, is attending college at BYU; our son that we will be adopting very soon, almost 18, will be attending college in the fall at BYU-Idaho; our second daughter, age 17, will be a Senior in high school this fall, and our "baby" is 10 and begins 5th grade. Even though I graduated in January 1977 and didn't attend the graduation ceremony due to my school schedule, I remember a great many of my high school friends. Berkeley is the city of my birth, childhood and early adulthood. It will always be home. I don't visit that often anymore as both of my parents have now passed away and the Berkeley home was sold. The high school has changed so much and definitely doesn't look the way it was when we were all there. Although we are all older now, nothing can take away the memories that we have of the "good old days" at Berkeley High School. I hope to make it to the reunion and see many of your faces-even though the old memory might make it a little difficult to recognize everyone. Take Care! PS Thank J Reeves for putting together the webpage and keeping everyone updated. Just to let you know, please correct the spelling of my maiden name--SEEGMILLER not SEGMILLER. I would appreciate it.

The website is fantastic. The reunion sounds very tempting. The names are very familiar. It was an exceptional time when we were at BHS (and elementary school, and JHS)and not everybody in the world shares those values that were instilled in us. In some ways, I think all the work I do is to recreate some of the feelings of the communities I experienced at that time. Living happily ever after for the most part in Brooklyn married to the guy who played tenor sax next to me in the BHS jazz band (Tony Jones), have a wonderful 10-yr old son and 19-yr-old stepdaughter (BHS alum). Maybe I will make the reunion, but I'm supposed to be working at Cazadero Music Camp that week (for like, the 20-somethingeth yr). If we dont catch you then, our band is playing at Yoshi's in Oakland on August 26th. Come by and say hi. Thanks for all your work on the site, and everyone's honesty and shout outs.

25 years after graduating from High School finally graduated with an A.A.S. in Accounting from our local community college here on Kauai where I have been living for the past 21 years! Divorced with a 6 yr. old girl and a plant nursery business. Definately plan on coming to the 25th. Had a great time at the 20th. I got in touch with Michelle Myles who made it to the 10th but not the 20th and she will be at the 25th. So will Gordon Bishop. Can't wait to be hangin' in good ole (tho' changed I'm sure) Berkeley for a few days and reconnecting with people. Ready to dance, hope its not the same D.J. as last time, the guy didn't even have any EWF!

Hello to Berkeley High School Class of 1977! Wow! 25 years. Imagine that! Well, I'm contemplating if I'll attend the reunion this year, however, my twin(Andrea)will take my place and be there for me in spirit! That is a good thing! I bet you wish you had a twin huh. Anyway, by the grace of God I hope to commeorate this special event. As a matter of fact I'll will be in the Bay Area in the beginning of August, and the reunion takes place 10 days after I had just left there. So to come there twice would be so idea! My twin says "Oh just put it on a credit card Adrianne" .....We'll see! I do want to join everyone. As the old saying goes...WHERE THERE"S A WILL THERE"S A WAY! So I'll keep my hopes up. In the mean time God Bless you all, do keep in touch. And I'll type 2 U later. Smiles from miles away! Love Adrianne

If I seem to ramble here I apoligize. I stumbled on this web site by accident. I would love to here from people from bhs. I was poking around the net & stumbled on site. I saw in the sf chron that Nancy Carlin was Titania in Shakespere's A Midsummer Nites Dream. I saw on classmates site that rufus t firefly is still alive. I wonder if anybody got the joke.

Jim, great job maintaining the website. To all of you, it was nice to find some friends that I had often thought about and some that I had forgotten. Committee members have kept me up on previous reunion activities while I was out of the country. It's great that all of you work so hard to keep the reunions alive. I returned to the United States in 1999 after having lived in Japan off and on for about 10 years. I dated my husband, Neal for 6 years before we were married; we've now been together 22 years. I have a daughter, Jasmyn who is 6 1/2 months old and a son , Jordan, who is 2 1/2 years old. Wow, how long did that take? Days after Jasmyn's delivery I had a significant stroke that left me with hemiparesis and caused me to have a left craniotomy. For the past six months I have been in physical and occupational therapy. We are praying for a full recovery. I do alot of reading and writing these days, so please correspond with me when you have a moment. While I was in Asia, I taught English, was a research assistant in Government Relations for United States Forces, Japan and a myriad of other positions. Just before I became ill, I was working as a medical financial management specialist. I really do regret having missed the reunions when I was physically able to travel. Mary (C), my dear, please shore up your courage and attend one. Peace and Love, My Sister. P. S. Email me off line

Great site James, thanks so much for the hard work! I am sure that many of my classmates have grown children, but I am proud to announce that I just had a son three weeks ago!! With my daughter who is turning three in July, that makes me one very tired but HAPPY lady. I am moving to Palo Alto in August 2002 for my husband's one-year sabbatical. So I will DEFINITELY make the 25th reunion! I was a molecular biologist until 8 years ago, then got hired by a patent law firm and they sent me to evening law school while I worked by day. NOW I'm a biotech patent attorney. Funny where the road leads. My husband is also a molecular biologist who teaches and does research. Can't wait to see my dear friends from BHS!

God has truly been good to me. I have been so blessed, and I owe it all to His awesome Grace. I look forward to attending the 25th class reunion. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, and a daughter I never could have dreamed of. We live in San Diego, but our plans are to return to Berkeley soon, if it's God's will. My life has taken many turns, but now that I know it's not about me, but about spreading the word of God and how he can bring you from any situation. Thank you so much for having this web site, and I pray that we can all get together, laugh, cry and share what amazing things we have been through, and how through it all God is the only reason that we have made it this far. When I reviewed the list of people that are no longer with us, I can say, that could have been me, so I must tell of His wonderful Love, Power, and Grace that has watched over my life. God Bless you all, until we meet again.

I would have graduated from Berkeley High School if we hadn't moved away just before 5th grade! I am wondering if any of you knew Abby Bellah. She was my best friend in Elementary School. I know she died in a car accident, but I would like to know more about this and what she was like. My maiden name is Karen Len. I have a twin by the name of Kathy. We also had a good friend who's name is Phoebe. Anyone know of her? Thanks for any replies.

One more thing.....We lived across from the Strawberry Canyon pool on university property. I heard this area was made into a toxic waste dump. Is this true? It was such a beautiful place to grow up. It was the poultry department when we were there. Anyone know what this looks like now? Is the building at the bottom of the hill still there? I know our house was torn down....a beautiful old house.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and classmates, even if it's only been 5 years since the last reunion. Willie is 6 years old. I'm still doing radio early Thursday mornings on KPFA and Saturday afternoons on KALW. Still working at Cody's Books. I'm at the "new" store on trendy Fourth Street, so I suppose I'm moving up the world...talk you-all later, Kevin

I can't believe I finally found this site. It has been great scrolling through the comments, recognizing familiar names, and sharing in the events since June 1977. I've been living in DC for 19 of the past 25 years, and don't get back to Berkeley all that often. I'm making plans right now to be there for the 25th. I look forward to the fun & fellowship...Hope to see you there!

It's nice to see the familiar names. I'm 3 months into a study of rice farming systems in West Africa, and would like to make it back for the reunion. Keep the faith.

I wandered in here after getting the card in the mail. What a fantastic site, and it sure is nostalgic to read all the postings from people. Great site James, old boy scout homeboy. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at Hs Lordships for the 25th. I'm living in Berkeley, married, and working in high-tech for 20 years. My best to all of you, we came up together. Anthony

25 years later - what will all my stoner friends look like a quarter of a century after Disco? Did we ever think we'd see the day when we talked about interest rates instead of the weed we bought at Kips? Yep, I've got to be there - 1977 here I come...

I have not been to the website since the 20th reunion but now have a smile on my face after reading through the guest book. Eddie Farris told me about the upcoming 25th. I have a "what a small world" story for those of you who went to Willard Jr High. My wife, Marie Parket Watson, works as a counselor at the High School where we live. This year one of the new teachers who joined the staff at the High School was Jim MacLemore(sp?) who taught at Willard when we went there. Of course Marie took in the old yearbooks to kid Jim about the length of his hair back in '72 but she tells me he looks like he has not aged in the 30 years since. Looking forward to the 25th.

Hi Y'all, Seems like we just had the 20th. I have to say the 20th was more fun than I expected and thepicnic the day after was a lot of fun as well. We'll have to put this in the calendar and see if it will fly. Ciao, Kent
