I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Art. Married a lawyer and moved to San Luis Obispo in the early 70s (two great kids came out of that marriage). Divorced after 18 years. Married a park ranger in 1993 and am still happy. I work as webmaster (mistress?) for the Planning & Capital Projects Department at Cal Poly (State University). I've kept in touch with just two people: Donna Horan and Mary Lou Dean. I'd love to hear from anyone and everyone.

Soon after graduation, I married Larry Coleman '65 (now deceased) and from that union, I have my wonderful son, Michael, an artist and teacher who resides in St. Louis, MO. Twenty-two years ago, I married my husband Pat & got to 'retire'(on his shirt-tails ;-) when he retired after 30yrs as a L.A. City Firefighter. For the past ten years we 'full-time RV'ed' & really saw this country. Now, we've decided to settle down again and put a house on our property here in Congress, AZ. Congress is an 'official' AZ ghost town, about 15mi north of Wickenburg. My old pal Myrna (Gray) Crowell and I came to the last reunion... and are making plans for our next one. It was really neat seeing so many & hearing about what LIFE had brought and where it had taken us. This site is cool :-)

My wife Dawn (Defore - from Pali Hi) and I recently moved back to Texas where I joined the faculty of Texas A&M University's new School of Rural Public Health as a professor and director of a new center for rural community health. Spent the previous 10 years in Pennsylvania running a consulting practice and before that 15 years in hospital administration (5 in PA, 10 in TX). Our oldest of our 4 sons and his wife are expecting our first grandchild in January. The youngest moved with us to TX but returns to Bethel College in Minn in December - so we're about to be empty nesters. Two middle boys are working/in school in PA. Have stayed in touch with a few classmates, but would enjoy hearing from others. Samohi was great - especially teachers Mr. Wagnon and Mr. Vaughn.

After graduating from Samohi in 1965 I earned a BA and MA from UC Santa Barbara. I worked as a high school 'social studies' teacher in Bend, Oregon (1972 - 1977) and in Tonopah and Pahrump, Nevada (1988 - 2006). Between those teaching jobs I was employed in sales and marketing of real estate and vacation timeshares. I retired in 2006, largely due to fortunate investments in real estate.

From my first marriage I have a daughter and a son who are grown and completely and successfully 'on thier own'. I have been married to my second/current wife, Dorothy (Dottie) since 1990. We have a home in Pahrump (55 miles+/- northwest of Las Vegas) and travel much of the year using a fifth wheel trailer and renting vacation properties.

I have 'made contact' with numerous former Samohi classmates but would gladly make more.

We just found this site. How wonderful to hear about so many classmate's lives. I've been married to Roger Jackson (64) for 35 years and he has been with LAPD for all that time. He may retire this year. We've lived in Thousand Oaks for 34 of those years and have a 33 year old son, Dean, and a 31 year old daughter, Stacey. Dean works for Adelphia and Stacey works for Amgen. Both are married and Dean has given us twin grandchildren - a boy and a girl. I've been fortunate enough to be able to stay at home while our kids were growing up. Now I work two days a week at Amgen and sub for the Conejo Valley Unified School District here and there. I would love to find Mary Ann Macari, if anyone knows anything about her.

I received my bachelor's degree from Humboldt State University and my Masters from San Jose State University, both in Geology. I have been with the USGS since 1977 and have produced over 100 publications and 12 abstracts; most recently (2004) I was umpteenth author on geology in northeastern Asia. My geologic and mineral-resource mapping as well as potassium-argon geochronology studies have taken me to Alaska, the Great Basin, and the Sierra Nevada.

After Samohi, I moved to the SF Bay Area and Northwest and attended college in Colorado. I married there and later completed college back in my home state of Oklahoma. My children were born there. We started our life as a family and lived in most parts West of the Mississippi, working on or near Native American Indian Communities. Our children are living in the San Diego area.

Hi! The rumors of my demise have been slightly exaggerated! I did have three years as an Army Special Forces Medic after high school, but thankfully, I survived Viet Nam without injury! I am now pretty much retired, working on my golf game, and enjoying that.
I've been married to Jackie Bartschi Fisher('67) for almost 32 years, and we have lived right here in Santa Monica. We have two kids who also went to Samohi: Dan ('90) who is living near Detroit with his wife, and Becky ('92) who lives in Miami with the love of her life. That means we travel more than we used to. But, I'm dealing with it. That's about it. I am alive and well. You all take care.

Jim FITZPATRICK

There's always a bit of Samohi in our life here in Santa Barbara. Four of us continue to work together in the daily events that take place at the Santa Barbara Montessori School. 145 children and four of the teachers, Jane Angell (Berlin, 1966), Craig Angell (1967), Frances Fitzpatrick (Warren, 1966) and Jim Fitzpatrick (1965), all busily learning. Frances and I started the school in 1975 after graduating, along with Craig and Jane, from the International Center for Montessori Studies in Bergamo, Italy in 1972. Craig and Jane arrived in Santa Barbara in 1987, and we've all been working together ever since. There's more...there's the whole surfboard thing, and skateboarding...we still skateboard every day, just like I did with the Makaha Skateboard Team in 1964 in the Greek Theater.

Work keeps us both busy - he's a sound editor (puts all the door closes, car bys, and whatever sound needs to be added so you hear what you see at the movies. Currently he's been working on a couple of projects one for Dreamworks (Spirit, an animation movie) and the other for Disney (can't remember the name but it's with Angelina Jolie).
I'm the controller at a motion picture advertising company.

We last saw you in 1995 at the 30th reunion when we were just moving from Bellvue, Washington to Tequesta, Florida. We left the reunion flew back to Seattle and took 2 1/2 weeks for a great drive to Florida. We have two kids, Marshall A. (4/2/90) and Kelsey (2/17/87). So at this old age we are kept pretty busy. I have been a management consultant since 1984 when I sold my manufacturing business in Marina del Rey. My wife Cheryl is a flight attendant for United airlines and flies out of Miami to South America. We get back to SM often as I still own a building in Marina del Rey and my oldest daughter Stacey (11/3/69) and her husband Mark Copeland still live on San Vicente in SM. I was recently persuaded by the local surf club, the Jupiter Noseriders, to bring my old surf movies out of the attic. I had a blast re cutting the old footage of Malibu, SM, Huntigton, etc. All our old surf friends are represented on these shots. The recut really turned out pretty good, much better! r than was shown at Samohi in 1965. The local guys, all oldies like us, want me to put it on video and sell it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. If you were on the HOSHI REEF SURF TEAM, let me know where you are.
Since the last posting I have started a local band of "old farts" as my kids say, Midlife Crisis. We have fun playing at charity events and parties. Florida is great and our town is kind of like Santa Monica was in the 1950's. The surf is pretty good and we live right on the Loxahatchee River. I'm pretty involved with my 13 year old son Marshall in Boy Scouts and we hope to be able to go the the National Scout Camp at Philmont, NM in 2005. We even found some old photos of my trip there in 1961. The Jupiter Noseriders is a local surf club of oldtimers and I have shown the old movies of Malibu, Rincon, Santa Monica several times. They want me to put them on Video and sell them but I can't remember the names of everyone. So, all you members of the Hosi Reef Surf Team, help me out. I know you are out there. Hang Ten!

I know you're all excited to hear an update on my life so far. After graduation from Samo, my father moved the family to the Bakersfield area to get out of "that hellhole" LA.I went to college there, then on to San Jose State where I studied Occupational Therapy. My internships took me to San Francisco, and I've lived in the bay area ever since (I was a NorCal gal trapped in a SoCal body). I've lived in Sonoma county (wine country) for twenty plus years with husband Rick and son Dallas and practiced inpatient, and now outpatient psychiatry (whine country?) I've done a lot of acting in local theater (thank you Doc Evans!) whenever they need a low rent Meryl Streep type. I'm also doing a little writing and am working on a story/novel set in Santa Monica circa 1964-65. My character is just about to enter the Castle Club on a half-asked date with a cute surfer.

Hi SAMOHI! I've been in photography in one form or another for the past 40 years, first shooting sports for Rogers Photography in West LA, then commercial imaging at Photo Art Studios in Portland, Oregon, and finally at the University of Iowa running a medical imaging department.

While continuing with programming, I went back to sports photography as a side business about 7 years ago, shooting football for Iowa. Married (1968), divorced (1989), two kids (Kim-36, Kelly-35), will be getting married again if Cindy Ramsey and I ever figure out whether we want to live in Iowa City or Chicago!

I recently moved to Sarasota, Florida with my husband of 10 years. My husband is a contemporary artist and I run our invitation/stationery and promotional products businesses from our new home. After 33 years in Santa Monica, living in a VERY small house, we decided to make the leap and buy a 6400 square foot home in beautiful Sarasota (which is much like Santa Monica in the 60's...including NO TRAFFIC!). My daughters, Rachael & Jennifer Sterlin, are both married now. I miss my Santa Monica friends (especially Santa Monica grad Judi Watson), but love Sarasota!

After Vietnam (1967) I attended SMC, Long Beach State, and finally got a masters in art at Humboldt State. After seven years in Eureka I spent 18 years as the Art Director for the ABC affiliate here in Bakersfield. In 1991 I went back to Syracuse University and got an MFA in Advertising Design. I have been a professor of Computer Graphic Art at Bakersfield College since 1996 ( I created my own job and department ). I have had many exhibitions along the way. Did anyone have a clue how they would turn out after high school? I'm happily married for the second time. My 24 year old daughter is teaching English in Thailand and my 16 year old son just put out his first CD. I have enjoyed many reunions and want to thank those who did all the work.

I just needed to add a few lines. Thank you Jill Rose for letting me now that you are alive and well. The information that I received over 30 years ago was wrong.

A big hello to all my fellow graduates from the Class of '65 at SAMOHI.

Still living in Reno, NV. Playing in a piano bar at the Eldorado Hotel and Casino the past 3 years. Married 28 years, and have a 14 year old daughter. We recently visited Santa Monica, and I was thrilled to see that John Adams, Jr. High, and Samohi had not changed that much. Did anyone see Samohi in the Zack Efron film, "17 again."?

A few years back I was referred to this site. Since then our one son has transferred into Samohi as a student. It is a bit unsettling to be walking the campus again, only this time as a parent! There are a couple people I would like to look up. Sally Hamilton the class of '65. Also, another girl, Netta, class of '66 (sorry, no last name). If anyone can help me with info about these ladies, please contact me.

During Viet Nam, Diggles and I drove Army tugboats out of Sausalito and up into the Delta. Later we owned a bike shop together. During those years I began nibbling around the edge of documentary filmmaking, and ended up spending 25 years as an audio engineer for the producer Saul Zaentz (Amadeus, The English Patient, Unbearable Lightness of Being). Karl Baldwin are you listening? It was all your fault. Have 2 boys, 18 and 13; the little one is a cellist, the older one TBA. Mostly I work on my 2 old houses, think about getting back into photography, and wonder where my knees went.

Just read over my 1999 entry -- I had forgotten that I had a plan to return to California. My daughter graduated college (biology) in 2003 and works at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Institute in Manhattan. My son graduations May 15 (2005) from University of North Carolina -- Chapel Hill. However, I won't be back anytime soon. My husband is holding down the fort in New Jersey while I finally get my undergraduate degree at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Va. I'm studying religion and philosophy. After spending some years in journalism, several of them as religion editor of a county newspaper, I finally found that I do have a passion for something -- that something being ethics -- and once done with my undergraduate degree, I may go to NYU for a masters. With both kids grown, we hope to find a small apartment in New York to live in during the week and keep our house in Jersey as kind of a country or weekend home. However, I won't be done til 2008, so who knows wh! at will happen. I don't think I'll make it for the 2005 reunion I'm sorry to say because I'll be back at school. Have a wonderful time.

Some company has been trying to scam money from me by saying that someone with whom I went to school is seeking me. I can't imagine why that would be, but now one can find me at no cost. Imagine that. Thanks SAA
