Phil Agretelis died in an inner-tubing accident on a river near Chico State while in college there. The year was 1983, I believe...a long time ago. He was with his fiance.....he was going down a rapid, went under, and never came up. Very, very sad. He was a neat guy who never got to see how is life would turn out. He is missed by many of us.

I have NEVER been in prison, who said that?

Just saw this site after missing the 20th and 25th. It is great to see all the names and read the comments of people who were so much a part of my Berkeley experience. Can anyone help me find Larry Becker or Jeff Goshay. I always tell my daughters( 13,8,4)how great it was to go to highschool at the time we did and where we did.

This is a wonderful site. Thanks to all who took the time to put it together as well as those who submitted comments. I discovered this site by chance in my efforts to find out if there will be a 25th class reunion for the class of 1978. Does anyone know anything about this? I was known as Suzy Neyhart at BHS, though Natalie has always been my real name. I am now Natalie LaBerge. I live in Tacoma, WA. I'm married and have two sons ages 11 and 6. Life is good! I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers me!

I was technically in the class of 78, but most of my friends were in your class, in School of the Arts. I'm still in Berkeley, doing web site search consulting and happy as a clam. My 12-year-old son is at Longfellow and planning to go to BHS in two years! My personal site is at http://www.avirr.com I'm sure some of you remember Pavel Curtis, I'm still in touch with him. He's had a great time playing with computers, become a real star in the multi-user-dimension field, started a web conferencing company and just sold it to Microsoft. I don't know how much longer it will stay up, but his bio is at http://main.placeware.com/about_us/founders.cfm

I attended Berkeley schools until 8th grade (Willard Jr High was a jungle) then my family thankfully sent me to a small private school. When I see the pictues of porn skag Nina Hartley (text editied) its pretty amazing that people can be so accepting on one level but not on another.

This site is really fun! And it's growing by leaps and bounds! Everytime I look at it there are new contributors. There is something reassuring about visiting the past, hearing from old friends. On the other hand, I have to ask myself (and the rest of you out there): do you really think you're going to have anything in common with people you knew when you were teenagers? Most of us have evolved into different human beings. I look at pictures and entries from people here, and I just see a bunch of middle-aged people I happened to be stuck in the same school with, 25 years ago. I don't have much in common with these aging strangers. I have kept in touch with select individuals, and the rest ... I wish them the best of luck, but couldn't really care less about seeing them again. I'm sorry if I sound negative.

I just came across a story about Paul Alarab, who died last month in a fall from the Golden Gate Bridge. Here is a link to the article . Paul was a friend of mine in high school and I remember playing guitar with him various times at his house on the hill down to Tilden.

Suki died last year in May, after living with Breast Cancer for eight years. There was never a memorial service for her in the Bay Area. Her brothers, Nick and Eric Stern, are organizing one to be held on May 31, 2003, noon - 4pm, site to be announced later. Eric and Nick are also looking for pictures and remembrances of her, for a memorial booklet. They were looking for these items to be sent to them by April 1st, which is next week. I know this is extremely short notice. If anyone would like to attend the service and/or has photos or memories of Suki that they would like to share, they can email Eric (who was called Arthur in high school) at estern @ rceb.org or to Nick at yelsub99 @ yahoo.com. thanks for your help, Julie

Of course I left BHS in the middle of my Junior year (the first time the equvalency test was offered. If memory serves, Bruce Welton jumped ship at the same time - Anyone heard from him?)Then I didn't get into Cal until 1982, so pretty much lost contact a lot of people. Since 2000 I've been Bird and Small Mammal Keeper at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas - Capybaras, Patagonian Cavies, Von der Decken's Hornbills, King Vultures, Collie's Magpie Jays, etc. (My wife works with large dangerous stuff - Rhinos, Lions, Giraffes... We met at the Fort Worth Zoo where I worked in the bird department and meddled in the aquarium for seven years). Great to see what's been going on with Stacey Starkweather, Wei Huey, and William Kumai. Hope Zerda is much better! Best Wishes to All.
