We are still within 35 minutes of a ski resort and enough lakes to keep us from getting homesick for our last home in Bend, OR and we have miles of ATV trails in all directions.

Aloha to all, I retired from United Airlines as a Flight Attendant in May 2003 after moving back to Kauai from Hong Kong. I had a fantastic 32 years with United and it seemed like a great time to depart! I am now living on Kauai with my husband Ed Sindt, managing my own vacation rental property on Kauai and that has been keeping me busier than when I flew! Who knew! Love living here in paradise, no better place than Santa Monica but this is a good alternative. I am a grandmother to 4 beautiful children, 2 from Perry's daughter Kelly Bates Siegel, Class of 1985 and 2 from Ed's son Kevin Sindt who currently lives in Brunswick, GA, despite they are far away from us, we do our best to get to see them often. Life is grand, hope it is likewise for my alumni friends. Good Health and loving family is all there is! I am grateful for both. Come & rent my vacation rental and say hi! Aloha .

It's hard to believe that we are approaching our sixties. We grew up in the sixties! I became a first time grandma on March 25,2004. My daughter Barbara gave birth a beautiful little girl named "Halen" (that's right as in Van Halen). She is definetly Daddy's girl. I have never seen such a happy baby, so much love! Now I know the blessings of being a grandparent. There is no other feeling like it. It is truly the reward for raising our children. To all my Samohi friends, God's many blessings to you all.

Vietnam Era veteran, graduated with BS from Langston University as a 3-year varsity letterman, student government president, etc. Attended Clarion University on a Fellowship and graduated with an MS degree.

Pet Peeve: Upon graduating from Santa Monica High School, I was angry and felt cheated that I was counseled into General Education, particularly when my non-Black peers were counseled into college preparatory programs. It was a humiliating experience to watch my fellow students getting accolades during the 1963 graduation ceremony for being accepted to West Point, Notre Dame, USC, etc., while me and a number of other minority students sat idly by with a stereotypically directed future in the service industry. Upon graduating, I worked a year, joined the Army on a lunch break and was influenced by others to attend college and chase a dream that my mother had thwarted the same way, stereotypical counseling. I'm no longer bitter or angry, just an advocate that all kids can learn and there are higher education institutions for all who either want to go to college on there on or are encouraged with good counseling to go, etc.

While there, I was active in band, choir and the senior play and have wonderful memories of each. I now live with my wife Jackie in a beach community 35 miles north of Seattle. I consult and teach in business development and management and am adjunct faculty at two universities. I am also a lay eucharistic minister in my Episcopal Church. I left Santa Monica right after graduation and never found my way back except for occasional visits. I also regret that I have lost touch with my classmates. I welcome the opportunity to reconnect and hope to attend the 40 year reunion. This is a wonderful website and it surfaces wonderful memories. Thanks!

Hi! After Samo, I got a B.A. in Psychology from UCLA, moved to Canada to work, married, located in a rural area to raise our 5 children where we had a farm + produce store. When 2 of our kids were recruited for sports scholarships in Idaho, we moved down here in 1990. I returned to school and got a Masters in Applied Psychology, Community College Teaching from Eastern Washinigton University in 1995. Currently, my husband and I are both tenured faculty (me in Psychology and he in Math) at North Idaho College, a beautiful community college on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene.

After Samohi, I briefly attended SMCC and then graduated from Cal State, Long Beach with both B.S. and M.S. degrees. I recently "retired," after spending 35 years in law enforcement (21-years in Torrance and 14-years as Chief of Police in Tiburon, CA). I am busier than ever, still being a member on a multiple of law enforcement advisory boards (e.g. the California Police Chiefs Asso. as a past-president, international law enforcement institutes, the area of threat assessment, etc.). I also facilitate courses for new CA police chiefs for the Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training and do law enforcement consulting.
Further, I stay active by being a "professional" member of nonprofit boards (e.g. American Red Cross, American Red Cross, etc.). During my "spare time," I play as much golf as possible and try to devote as much time to my family as I should have when I was working as a police chief. My lovely wife, Susan, volunteers her singing/piano talents in rest homes and Alzheimer's facilities in Marin County. We have two fine academically-inclined and very athletic sons -- Brad, a HS senior, has received his "early decision" acceptance to the University of Puget Sound for next Fall and Jordan is a HS sophomore.
I do, in fact, miss the "old" Santa Monica and have not missed a single "Class of '63 Reunion" since graduation. The "Viking News" and Samohi alumni website have helped feed my passion for the nostalgia of my youthful days growing up in wonderful Santa Monica.

I came to Santa Monica High School from a really small school in Northern California, and was quite intimidated at first. I didn't know many people as there was sooo many of them. I do remember a guy named Bob Wilde who took me under his wing and helped me find my way around. He was a real good friend, but I lost contact with him after I graduated.
I remember quite well taking ceramics from Mr. Maxwell. He was a great teacher, and I met some nice kids in his class.

I retired in 1999 after spending 35.5 glorious years at GTE. Had a wonderful career and am currently enjoying the leisure days. I made a corporate move to Dallas in 1994 and, although I love it here, will probably be here another year before moving to the White Mountains of Arizona to a small town called Show Low. Golf, scuba diving, photography & travel are some of my passions.

still in the mid-west and enjoying. No earthquakes, mud slides but do have snow. Kansas City is more beautiful than you could imagine. Much like Santa Monica without the ocean or Sorento Beach. Hope all of the alum is well

Deceased
"Fishin' Fred" Penfield passed away at home in Truckee, California, from cancer, late Thursday evening (May 15th). 2008 Fred was a fixture on Cariboo and Thompson/Nicola stillwaters (and at some Fall Fish-Ins) every September and October. He was the master of sight-fishing on the shoals and the use of the true "micro-leech" on Dragon and Forest Lakes. His white Fold-a-boat was a familiar sight on most of the challenging trophy trout lakes during the Fall. He was a
regular visitor to Jack & Grace's place and to Robert's Roost, around Thanksgiving.

Fred shared his secret's with friends and his obsession with sight- fishing was infectious(I am one of the "infected"). His flies were "killers", his techniques were the best. Fred also fervantly believed in BC's publically accessible waters and their conservation. He loved BC and shared his time in retirement between BC in the fall, New Zealand in the winter and his home in California(which he referred to
as "Nutafornia"), in the summer.

Fred was a fellow 'Nam vet, who parlayed his service into a university degree in architecture, specializing in casino design and construction, mostly in the Reno, Nevada area. In fact, up until his retirement, 10 years ago, every casino built in the previous 25 years, in Reno, was a Fred Penfield design and construction.

He is survived by his wife Ann and son Jonathan and many, many friends.

Hi everyone! I am still living in wonderful Simi Valley & going on my 9th year at The Brandeis-Bardin Institute, a Jewish Non-Profit Educational and Cultural Center, as a Sr. Admin Asst. I have 3 children; Kimberly (38), Bryan (36) & Shannon (30)who have given me 7 beautiful grandchildren. The 40th reunion was terrific & alot of fun, but I didn't get to talk to alot of people because I spent too much time in one place and then the evening was over. So, if you remember me, I would love to hear from you.

One is our local Hydro Electric Utility here in the Toronto area, became Managing Director and President in May, so much for retirement. Must scare everyone to death thinking John has his hand on the power switch.

After 10 years in Connecticut, my husband and I moved back to California in 2004 and are living in Redondo Beach. It's really great to be here again. I left the newspaper business and went back into interior design, and Jim is in sales. No plans for retirement any time soon as we both enjoy working. Sorry I missed the 40th; but, hope to make the next one, whenever that is. Hello to anyone who still remembers me!

After graduating from Samohi, I earned a BS in Engineering and subsequently an MBA. My career was spent working around the world engineering and constructing chemical plants, oil refineries, pharmaceutical facilities, power plants, etc. Two years ago, I sold my company and retired. My wife Barb and I have six children living around the world in four different countries. I stay busy administering the Biblical Counseling Ministry at my Church, Lakeside Community Chapel, visiting my children and managing personal real estate investments. We are all active scuba divers and love sailing. We have a waterfront home so that we have ready access to our boats to enjoy our favorite hobbies. I have remained in touch with my great Samohi friend Pete Herley, also class of 63. My regards and best wishes to friends from Samohi.

I'm 58, founded/operated an exclusive Porsche repair shop in Santa Monica for 25 years. Moved to Bakersfield in 2002 with my wife Kate, a Kern County Assistant D.A., and stepson Mike, 11. I have two adult children, Denny and Diana, from a first marriage, both are doing well. I drove competitively for many years and won an E/P SCCA championship in 1985. I became disabled in 2002 and just underwent shoulder replacement surgery - so much for golf and tennis! Life in Bakersfield is good, not nearly as hectic as anywhere near the coast, but it gets hot up here. Maybe we'll move to Minnesota...
