Guestbook for bolsa

Hats off to you Debbie for starting this website and thank you Frances (May) Rio for passing the site to me to check out . I found myself saying "oh yeah.." "I remember him/her".... Its a fun place to visit now and then. I used to think people with 20yr reunions were very old.... Now, mine is one year away!!!! I DO NOT feel old! For those who remember me, God has been very good to me inspite of my doings in the last 20 yrs. I tried to move away from California, and DID for 4 yrs to Chicago, Ill. I loved it but because of work I ended back in So. Cal. Im not married & dont want to be... I have lots of great nieces/nephews that I can give back, to loving parents. I've done everything with a leap of faith and followed dreams with lots of success! No credit to me... as I said, the Lord has been good to me. After many years of procrastination... I made it in the entertainment industry and if anyone remembers... yes I was Mr. D'Anna's choir clone. Hey those years singing in choir and days in music paid off! Next time you see or hear Harvest Crusade come around to Anaheim's Edison Field.. check it out and say Hi! I'll be the one "still singing" for Christ. or visit the website: www.harvest.org. Again great job Deb! CHogenraad

Would love to hear from classmates from my years at Bolsa. I was supposed to graduate in 1982 but ran into a few obstacles! I left CA in 1981 but returned to graduate in 1983 but from the Lincoln Education Center. Some of the names here sound familiar but will have to get the yearbooks out to refreash my memory!

I THINK THIS IS A WONDERFUL PAGE. IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO CHAT WITH PEOPLE I HAVEN'T SEEN IN MANY YEARS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR FROM MORE PEOPLE WHO GRADUATED IN 84, SO HEY, SIGN UP AND SAY "HI"!! 84 FOREVER MORE!!

Hey there Debbie.. I'm real proud of you for doing this. It's been a long time since we've graduated.. I think a lot about old friends.. and would love to hear how there doing now. I'll drop by often.. John

just posting a change of Email address from my 7/28/98 post. Good luck to you all. new Email address glynch@socal.rr.com

Been to a few of these Alumni places and the Class of '74' must be computer Illiterate.........LOL. No one from '74' is on them.

Hello Class of 89'

Hi, I'm LQQKIN for a girl that moved to Monrovia from Jackson ,Michigan in June 1962 her name was Debby Hemry,anyone remember anything please send an e- Indctgs@modempool.com Thanks,and have a great day - Danny Robinson

Where is the cl :-) of '91? Well it's nice to see some familiar names (Bernice Wilson)!!! You're gonna get it when I e-mail you (Alaska?? what the ....) I will definately p :-) this on to my family members: (Elaine Vito Ma'ae c/o 88), (Naomi Vito c/o 97), (Crystal Vito c/o 99), (Charife Villanueva c/o 92), (Ray Villanueva c/o 94 or 95),( I can't remember) Just e-mail if you wanna know what's up with the poly's out her....Ms. Alaska and never came back. By the way tell your relatives the Jeffersons (Fred, Toy, Tafa, & Love)to reach out and call somebody. I only live down the street. By the way does anyone know what's going on with the c/o 91 reunion for next year? Let me know because I'm putting my plans of being famous on hold. O.k. enough laughs for my fellow matadors.....fa laia Tina Vito

Hello to the cl :-) of 77,78, and 79. If you are ever in need of stiches come see me at Fountain Valley Hospital ER. Yes I still live in the area.

Okay.....so what happened to the cl :-) of '90?????? Where the heck are ya????? Whats the deal, are we having a 10 year reunion????? any info would be helpful!!!!!

This is a pretty cool site. I wish more cl :-) mates were listed. I wonder what ever happed to them. I was in Garden Grove this last year. I went to Bolsa Grande and walked the halls, ran my dogs in the park accross the street. The school has really grown, with lots of new stuff. It sure brought back alot of memories! I wish I could go back and do it over...and for sure alot different! I wasn't a very good student! It's also sad somewhere along the way, I lost my cl :-) ring, and annual. Sincerly, Andria Pierce (Petersen).

Debbie...this is a great job! I have info you may want. Sharon (Michaelson) and Rick Hanson have done a wonderful job keeping the '64/'65 cl :-) es together. They organized our 20th and have had summer get togethers the last two years. I have their phone and address if you want to contact them, or p :-) this on to Bob Troncoso. I have left their number on several msg. board sites; by now they must know this site exists. My sister, Jan, and I found cl :-) mates.com about the same time without the other one knowing it, and we've had a ball meeting old friends. I am in Northern CA and would like to hear from anyone especially if they are close enough to get together in Sacramento. I am especially looking for John Ignasic and Ronald Collins... You are all welcome to email me anytime....Jeanie

It's been awhile since I've seen any high school buddies.I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Well, I by-p :-) ed the signing-in part and skipped to cruisen the boards. Now that I'm comfortable with everything here, including the people lol, I will sign now. I just wanna say that I'm sure glad that I have a second chance to chat and get to know the people I grew up with. :) And whether hubby comes or not, I am not gonna miss this for nothin..... See ya at the reunion, and bring your pool sticks, we'll have some fun.... I'm kinda shy and feel very awkward on first introductions except on a pool table. So feel free to make the first hello....oh, by the way, memory is failing with eyesight and a lot has been blocked out of the mind, so please give me all the input you can to joggle my brain as to who you are. lol

If anyone knows how to contact Sherri Dutton, Melinda Wheatley or Mike Whaley, please let me know. I'm living in Fayetteville, Arkansas (Arkansas?) working as a Mergers & Acquisitions legal assistant - and in general loving life. I hope everyone from the class of 1976 is doing well, can you believe I've made friends here with graduates of Santiago and LaQuinta High Schools! Please write!

Hi Guys! I always love to here from old friends. You know what's really weird...I go to pick up my teenager from Knotts and... (this has happened more than once) My daughter wants to know if I can give there friend a ride home. I say sure and ask them their name...It has turned out to be the son or daughter of someone I attended Bolsa with. And I always seem to get even more info then I wanted, If you know what I mean... It always surprises me how many of us stayed in the area. So if you remember me at all drop me a line. I'd love to here from you!

Cool to see names I haven't thought of in DECADES!!

Heard about the website from friend Ray Garcia(1972). I;m a long way from Bolsa Grande. My family still lives in the area. I will be visiting sometime in 2000. Hope everybody else is doing well. Life's been Good!

I have been married to Dave Merdgen ('82) since 1991. We have a daughter, Elizabeth, who is 15 months old and another one due in July 2000. I own my own advertising consulting business and Dave is a manager with Boeing. We will be relocating to the Seattle area by mid 2000. This site is a great way to see what people have been up to (or not up to).

Hey Where's the Class of '72? Would love to hear from anyone from '70-'74. Or the Concert Choir Members. Where's Alex Valdez? I just visted with Kincy in St. Louis, Vic & Katie Bavaro in Lake Tahoe. I stay in touch with Tony Rocco who's living in Indiana. Thanks to Katie and Rick Stills for the Bolsa homepage. As you can see I live in Milwaukee, but not by choice. I was relocated when the company I worked for was bought by GE Medical Systems. I am a Marketing Manager for Caribbean & Latin America. I guess those Spanish classes came in handy after all. Prior to this move I was living in the San Francisco area for the last 11 years. I'm not married and have two great kids Dana-21 and Greg-16. Hope to hear from you soon, ---Ray

.

Hello fellow 1979 grads. Does anybody remember me? My stupid brother Richard told me about this website and I thought I would add my name to it. Hope to hear from a fellow graduate!!

Thanks to Rick Still my old buddy for telling me about this sight. I would be glad to hear from any of you who remember me. I have worked for the past eighteen years for a company called Konica Business Technologies. I'm divorced and live with my three children (Elizabeth 18, Freddy 13, and my baby Samantha 10) in Huntington Beach Ca. I hope to see some old/new faces at the next class reunion.

I still see quite a few of my friends from the old days. Mark & Scott Barrett, Brian & Kurt LeBrun, Don Smart. Anyone else who knows me drop me a line.

Great site. Check out LINK TO CLASS 1977 for information on classes 77,78,& 79. I'm living in Riverside, Ca. Married since 1983, and have two kids.

THIS IS A LIFESAVER SITE I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER HEAR FROM ANYBODY FROM BGHS AGAIN. I'M DOING GREAT E-MAIL ME CLASS OF 80 HEY Z REMEMBER ME DRAFTING ? MR BERT TOSSIE

WOW!!! This is pretty cool. Got a few e-mail addresses. Hope someone else remembers me and can get ahold of me. I am STILL married to Tim Rivera (Class 84). We have 2 beautiful girls and are extremely happy. Hope to hear from my friends soon.

Great site! Attended BGHS as a freshman, and then the district lines changed and I graduated from (dare I say) Westminster in 1966. Would like to hear from or find out what happened to old friends from BGHS, OA Peters and Irvine JHS. Especially interested in Anna Colon ('65), Bill Perry ('66), Wayne Hubbell ('66), Ronnie Davis ('66). I ran into Ron Nauert upon my return from Viet Nam in 1968, and I saw Randy Julian when he was a B52 pilot about 1977 or so. Thanks for the site!

Debbie, I came a cross this website looking for Garden Grove High website. I know you don't remember me I'm Rhonda(Brooks)Lindbergh little sister. You did a good job Lisa(Brooks)Ceneviva

Living in Northern California (Vacaville), married to Louise who is an Escrow Officer for North American Title in Fairfield Ca., with two kids Amanda 13 and Mathew 11. Did the Air Force thing for 20+ years and retired in April 1994. Was stationed in Texas with Ray Garcia in 1974 & 75. Anyone know his where abouts? Now flying for BAX Global Cargo DC-8's. Missed the 10th, went to the 20th and hope to make it to the 30th. See you all there! Drop me an E-mail. Best teachers: Mr. Meredith, Mr. Igou, Mr. Walker, Mr. Thompson, Mr. O'Donnell, Mrs. Macris, all who have had an impact on my last 30 years.

Hi class of 74. I moved to Michigan between our freshman and sophomore years but would like to here from some of my old classmates that I would of graduated with. If there is a reunion sometime please send me the info. I would like to attend.

This is too cool! After 14 years there are still plenty of things that I remember about the Class of '85. If anyone remembers me feel free to Email

Hi Fellow Matadors. It is nice to see such a large Bolsa community...however, I have not seen many people from the Class of 85. I would love to hear from any alumni. I was involved in Drama, the Concert choir, I was one of the "Golden Voices" that made those great announcements over the intercom during 4th period. During my years at Bolsa, I had one girlfriend, her name was Denise Asher. Oh yea, I was also voted Sr. Best Personality. On the current side, I am now 32 years old...ouch, I am a Sr. Business Analyst for a large Consulting Firm, I have a dog, a turtle and a fish...and I married a wonderful man named Jerry...Oh, and I am gay...so for those of you that knew me and thought I was gay...you were right..hahaha...it took me a few years to realize it though...haha I missed our reunion but hope to attend the next one. Take care

Great stuff! Great to see some BG alum's out there in cyberspace and a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. I'll definitely be back.

I like it, although I haven't recognized many names yet. I played Water Polo & Swimming. I live outside of Denver now and am a General Contractor. I missed the 25 year reunion but bought the video. It's unbelievable how some have changed so much and others haven't changed even a little bit. I'm one who has changed a lot. Where is everyone? Vance Orand, Deon Lepovac, Lance Ellis, Sheila Roach, Phyllis Culp, Bruce Fortney, Tim Garber, Ron Hubbard, Dan Horn, Steve Schultz, Fred Mandilk, and probably about two dozen others, why don't you sign in? Until next time :)

There sure are tons of pages devoted to BGHS... it is hard to keep them all clear...

Attended BG freshman year only and moved to Placentia and graduated from Valencia HS. Joined the USAF and traveled to include a free year paid vacation in Vietnam. Went to work for Northrop Aircraft in Saudi Arabia for 6.5 years then continued with Northrop in the US. The rest is sorta history. My sister Carole Burke graduated from BG in 65. If you want to contact Carole just E me at MeBurke@aol.com. Thanks Debbie! I remember you from 7th grade!

Hi to all the 1969 .... and 1968 - 1971'ers from Bolsa Grande that crossed my path in life. I sure miss all of you. I never thought life would take the dramictic changes it did when we graduated at Bolsa Stadium. I remember walking with Debbie Lyle that day. I didn't realize the impact and changes that happen as you move out of high school into the real world ! I would love to find Kathy Smithson if anyone knows what happened to her. If you read this and want to know what I am up to these days email me !! kitjors@aol.com

Great site, great friends, great school!

This could be fun ...

It's been quite sometime since I've spoke with anyone that graduated from Bolsa in 1980. Any idea where the 20th reunion will be next year? Drop me an E-mail if you have any information or if you just want to catch up on old times.

!!

Peace, love and soul brothers and sisters

Excellent website, While I was on the Internet I saw another brilliant website and I thought you may want to take a look. The website address is: http://www.capitalwebs.com

Most of you probably don't remember me because I moved to Bolsa in our junior year. I was very shy so I didn't make many friends. I got involved in our 10 year reunion so those of you who went may remember me as, of all things, the M.C.!!! I moved back to Oregon right after the reunion. I have been a hairdresser for over 25 years and have owned my own salon for 13 of those. Right now I am back to working for someone else. I lost my yearbook in a flood so the internet is a great way to refresh my memory. I do miss having the pictures to look at though! Keep in mind-if your book gets wet it will turn to brick! It has clay powder coating on the pages to make them shiny and when it gets wet it hardens. Keep me in touch of all reunions and events. Linda

Hello class of "74" - Looking for Terri Bryant, Diana & Marina Madrid, Cindy Boyles.. Drop me a line..

I hope the class of '74 will read this and get in touch. I left Bolsa in the middle of my junior year and wound up graduating from Los Amigos High. But I did go to the 20th reunion which was a blast seeing a few familiar faces. I havent kept in touch with anybody from school but would love to hear from them now. I have moved all over the country, was married for 15 years with two sons, now 19 and 13 years old. I have settled in Las Vegas and love it here although I do not gamble. I still have a crush on Richard Bettencourt......anybody know where he is? Kathy Philpot...I remember you and Dana Jackson (Dana..remember the parties at your house?!!) Also, Diane Cantwell, Jill Fortney, Corinne Bernth and many more,,,where are you??

Hey to anyone out there that might remember me!! I left BGHS in my junior year, but had a great time while I was there. Hope everyone's doing great!!!

I am terrible at keeping in touch with people, so I haven't talked to anyone from high school in a long time! Please write me if you know me!!!

None

Hey class of 79.....who's around and what's going on with you?

Good to see this site.

Here's another place to register your alumni information for future reunions and to keep in touch or get back in touch with old friends. Please register! http://www.highschoolalumni.com/

ATTN. ALL BGHS CHORAL ALUMNI... We are planning all year choir reunion for next year. We are just in the beginning stages and need to find as many Choral alumni as possible. We have created a forum to help find fellow choral alumni. It is on Classmates.com and the forum name is bghschoir. Please take a second to go there and let us know how to get in touch with you. If you have trouble finding the page sign in this guestbook and I will send you an invitation that will take you there. Also if you are in touch with any choral alumni please let them know as well. The reunion will be an experience to remember forever. A certain special guest has said he will attend - Mr. D'Anna. We can use all the help we can get in locating choral alumni. So please network this and get the word out. Hope to hear from you soon. Kevin Stearns

Okay.... who's responsible for censoring my stuff. Someone out there REPLACED the word "S h i t" in my text with a freakin' happy face like this :-) What's up with that anyways???????????????? I gotta go now...

BGHS didn't teach me too good about the woes of living in a prison, but I got taught good writin' skills, here's proof: Garden Grove police found a man's body the hard way, tonight: by tracing his skull fragments dropped on a dance troupe below, back to the catwalk where the bull :-) detector in his brain exploded. The man, who'd been arrested in the winter of 1998 for jumping across a line of parked car tops on a dimly lit Garden Grove side street while drunk, and his clothes were immediately auctioned off on eBay, but the medical examiner retained possession of the contents of his pockets for possible use in mid-season replacement sit-coms and game shows, and for possible bogus pro-wrestling story lines. The cause of the bull :-) detector explosion is being blamed on either Microsoft's piece of :-) software, or everything else, or both. --- AND --- Bob Yamasaki of Garden Grove, California agreed to buy his next door neighbor, privately held Laura Noe, today, for 2 '92 Toyota Corollas in good condition, as Yamasaki continues his push into the "Ed and/or Laura" sector of the high-growth market for people with almost any name at all. Orange County-based Yamasaki already owns Garden Grove-based cousins Ed Johnson and Ed Jackson, having just purchased them last July for a '78 Honda Civic in fair condition, and a '52 Dodge Power Wagon, good for parts. The price covered their rent for a month and further investments in technology. Booming demand for people of almost any name, needed to falsely run up internet hit counts, serve in rigged focus groups, participate in bogus demographic surveys and pretend to even exist at all for the 2000 census, has sparked a flurry of acquisitions of people by their friends, neighbors, relatives, and perfectly random strangers. Bob Yamasaki has spent more than $7 billion since September buying up people named Ed and/or Laura who have previously bought up other people named Ed or Laura, and has vowed to buy up every damn Ed and/or Laura in the world, regardless of what kind of piece of :-) car they drive. "Ed Jones and Laura Noe will be a very nice addition to Bob Yamasaki's portfolio, because Ed Johnson and Ed Jackson of Garden Grove, had, between them, already bought up every damn Ed and/or Laura in Orange County for a couplea bags of 20-1-1 fertilizer and a couplea gallon jugs of kerosene," said Janice Maxfield, an analyst with Kidder, Kidder & Nobody. Yamasaki's operation will also meld well with those of Eddie Haskell, the California-based maker of lies about how everything is just what it's supposed to be, regardless of whether it really is or not, who Yamasaki and Roger Blanco agreed to buy in March for a busted VCR and an as-is toaster-oven. The need for human beings to buy each other up in ever larger numbers has been driven by the need to keep pace with corporate oligopolies likewise buying each other up, first." "By combining ourselves into a single person," said Yamasaki, "we not only achieve economies of scale, but we are also greatly simplifying and consolidating the efforts of all our many fine corporate oligopolies out there that serve us so well. So now, instead of sending out 100,000 bills for 100,000 different $20-dollar phone lines to 100,000 different guys and girls named Ed and/or Laura, they only have to send out 1 bill, for 1 $20-dollar phone line for 100,000 guys and/or girls who through successive mergers and acquisitions, have become a single unified Ed and/or Laura." If you're ever in the bay area, please stop in to visit me before it's too late. Peace out!!!

very nice to find this webpage. have been debbie's sister Delores' friend since junior high(jordan junior high), and have kept in touch periodically through these many years. i live in orange with my husband, gerald and three daughters, brittany, brianna and brooke. gerald and i own stonebridge productions, an entertainment production company that produces live musical events in the so cal area(taste of newport, fashion island music series, hard rock concert series, marriott jazz series, etc.). it's been fun working with entertainers i grew up idolizing(ray charles,little richard, blood,sweat & tears, three dog night, bonnie raitt, etc...).i would enjoy hearing from alumnus from 64(brother al's year), 67(sis mallory's year), 70(my year), 72(brother norm's year) and 75(sister nina's year). a reunion in 2000 you say? keep me posted! p.s. tom julian was a friend of my sister mallory since grammer school! saw on the guest book that he teaches at rancho! small world...

In response to Chau Bolinski's guestbook signing earlier. I beg to differ. We had a good time and maybe a few :-) tails, but nothing like the picture he painted! Thanks a lot Chau! Hey, by the way Chau, whats with the porn site links?

Looking for former classmates, graduating year not a priority, just memory! I'd love to do some "whatever happened to so and so" with people from my time at BGHS. I've lost track of a few, kept track of a few. I am still in close contact with Carl and Dean Reynolds, Dan McKeen, and Dana Jackson. We'd all like to know whatever happened to Gary Hoopingarner.

i have been looking for Cheryl Bombardier for about 1 year and found this site.

No comments

Interesting to find this site...wondering what will come of it...

Nice to see that there is a page for the older grads to locate fellow students.

"Okay, kids, remember to write your name inside the book cover with an INK pen because we ALL know that some low life is gonna lose his book."--Mr.Sundell Hey guys, awhile back I said that Mr.Sundell retired. Well, I was wrong. The three teachers who retired last year are Mr. Nelson, Mrs.Nelson, and Mr.Kassas (I don't know how to spell that...but his last name is pronounced like "kassas")

Hello to anyone I knew back then. I am in Michigan instead of California, and i do miss California sometimes. I have 2 kids, and one of them is actually named Chad and he was born in 1986... Yes he is, if you wonder if he's, Chad's... He is the sweetest kid and looks just like his dad- adorable. I am not much different looking, except i have let my curls grow out. No more short hair. I love to write and keep as happy a home life going for my kids as i can. I have spoken to friends from Bolsa since school, but that was in 1991. I wasn't much of a one group kind of gal, and i'm still not. I guess i never want to be, but i knew a little of every group i guess. I do miss Drama class, that was my favorite... So if we ever met or hung out write me i'd love to hear how life is going for you. Also if you want to reach Chad Conard i can hook you up for that too. Shelley

Does anybody remember me? Perhaps you remember my brother Brian Tobey class of 75. I would love to hear from any of you! Chris

This is an absolutely great idea! My Bolsa years were and still are the best years of my life. I miss everyone and hope to see you guys all soon! :) Feel free to e-mail me! I would love to know how everyone is doing. Always, Bao

I'm happily married and have a beautiful, talented, wonderful son who is sure to make Mark McGuire rue the day! I still have a love of motorcycles, but haven't ridden one since California put the dreaded Helmet Law on the books. I am a Paralegal who loves working the law. My fabulous husband is a Construction Driver and takes wonderful care of all of us. If there is anyone out there who even thinks they remember me, feel free to email. I doubt that you do since I was such the loner. The only interests of mine in high school were my motorcycle and the places I could go to with it.

Hello fellow classmates!

Would like to get in touch with Carole Loomis (Loomer). She was a good friend and I lost touch with her. Don't remember her married name.

Hey there, haven't signed the guest book in a while. Haven't really seen anyone from class of '90 on here, guess they all disapered! Hope they surface for the reunion coming next year!!! Anyway just thought I popin and say hi! Take it easy! Melissa

Wow! Great page! I am so excited that I found this! I'd love to talk to some of my old friends. Some graduated in 1982 with me, and others in 81 and 83. Anyone heard from other alumni from 1982? E-mail from old alumni would be great.

I have been married for almost 16 years. Rick and I have 3 girls, Kirstyn 13, Ryan 11 and Erin 10months. We have resently moved to Texas due to Rick's job, he is an Equipment Manager for a professional ice hockey team. I spend most of my time taking my girls for one event to another. Between Kirstyn's cheerleading and Ryan's choir practice there isn't much time left in the day. I am hoping to see my mom and both of my sisters (who are also Bolsa graduates, Katherine (O'Reilly) Willey and Annie (O'Reilly) Afusia) this Thanksgiving. This is a nice way to keep in touch with old classmates and to meet new people that went to the same high school.

this message of for Rachel Headlee.....My husband Tom Goode was wondering about the memory book that we were suppose to receive after the reunion. Did they go ahead and make them or did they not do them at all? Please let us know. Thanx a bunch!!!

Hey there class of 1989!!! Our reunion is coming up. October 23rd!!! Love to hear from Anyone who remembers me. I am married to my wonderful husband Tom Goode and have 2 handsome boys. I see quite a few people from our class so send me some mail and then we can chat. Thanx!!! Bye

Never been here before, it's all new.

Just letting anyone caring know that I'm alive and well in Seattle. I left Calif 1 week after graduation and have been in Seattle ever since. Would love to hear from any other 61 grad.

I wanted to post the results of the Class of 1979 20 Year Reunion. What a kick! It was AWESOME!

Hello all!! I left Calif in 1997 and moved to beautiful central Florida(Tampa area).We love it here in this sun drenched (sometimes water drenched) state. I came here with my wife, who is also a matador-ess alumni from 1983. we miss some parts of Kaliforni, like friends, mountains, & earthquakes. I did notice that there are no entries from anyone in my class. It would sure be nice to hear from some of my fellow class mates. feel free to e-mail me but no junkmail

Hello to all. I just happened across this site while while looking for reunion info. If any one knows anything about a 20 year reunion for the class of '80, please let me know. I have been out of the area since graduation and have lost contact with everyone I knew back then. So if anyone from the class of '80 remembers me drop me a line.

Greetings to the Class of '81. I would love to hear from anyone who may remember me.

I was just wondering if anyone from the class of '86 knows where Stephanie Kelley, Laura Anderson or Brenda Rhoderick are???

Hi-- This message is in regards to Julia Presley. She went to Bolsa Grande H.S. graduating in the year of '86. Julia passed away Thursday evening (8/12). There will be a viewing and a memorial service held sometime in the next few days. I am her roommate, and while going through stuff, I found this email, and thought that many of you might have had some interaction with her. Paul McCombie, her husband, wants her to be surrounded by friends and family. Please feel free to contact either myself or Paul at (562) 436-0881. Once the dates and venues of the viewing and the memorial are finalized, I will send the information to you. Also, if any one wants to contact her parents, Dutch and Lynetta Presley, you can reach them at (714) 537-4780. This is a very difficult time, and we are trying to gather as many of her friends as possible. She would have liked it that way. Sincerely, Rinoti

Mrs. Pilkerton, a math teacher for many years at Bolsa, Has passed away on Tuesday, August 10, 1999. She was also involved with the International Order of Rainbow for Girls. Services will be held on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 12301 Magnolia, Garden Grove. It is between Lampson and Chapman. In place of flowers they have asked that you send donations to Companion Hospice, 730 Town and Country, Orange, Ca 92868. (714) 960-8177. She was a very special lady and touched many of our lives over the years. We will truly miss her

This message is for Shari Bearden (Hinshaw)-- I saw that you posted a guestbook entry and I did an internet search for you, but all it found was your address. Unfortunately I already had that! I want an email address so we can keep in touch. My family and I just moved about a month ago to Golden, Colorado; home of the Coors brewery! It is beautiful here!! We just moved into a new home that we just bought and everything is settling down finally. I am having another baby, due sometime in December I think! I am very excited about it! Please email me if you get the chance; I don't know when you will actually see this note, but I hope you do! Good to see you on the net, and I hope to hear from you soon, Cassandra

Lots of time past... Funny - don't feel any older... Gave my life to JESUS back in 75' and nothings been the same since.

Hi Again.... Everybody!!!!!! I'm looking for a good O'l friend, Gemma (Maljian)Snell....If anyone know's of her whereabouts, PLEASE contact me!!! Hi Debbie T.....Thanks for helping me out!!! :-) God Bless!!! FRENCHIE

I was actually told about this website by my sister Annie Afusia.

Yep!
It was Mr.Sundell.

ATTENTION CLASS OF '69 Please check out https://members.tripod.com/~five_foot_17/announce.htm for the reunion in Oct. Please note the soon to be up new home page for our class!

I guess I'm getting old enough to start being nostalgic. It would be great to hear from any Matadors from '75 (or any time). I hear rumors of an All-Class reunion in 2000. Can anyone give me any info?

Hi, this is for the person who left the message below.
Um, I don't know WHICH two teachers retired because I don't have them for any of my classes. But I know that they're both males, and that one of them teaches math...he's pretty old. Sorry if that doesn't help much.

Hi! What's up? I'm going to be a Sophomore at BG next year. Gotta admit that Bolsa is the best school even though our sport teams hasn't won any championships in awhile...well, I think our volleyball team did won something. Anyway, in case you're wondering, here're some of the updates on BG:
1. 2 teachers retired.
2. Our Freshman class hasn't won any school competitions since 1975.
3. Everyone's favorite teacher is Mr.Dixon (I took a poll asking about 100 students or so).

Well, if any of you wanna chat, my AOL screen name is HITZFreak6

Peace,
~Tammy

I have been to a few places after high school. For example, I lived in Columbus, Georgia for 5 years while married. I Came back to Garden Grove after being married for 5 years. Then I sued for a divorce. I attended Goldenwest College for a few years and received my AA Degree. I then moved to Sacramento where I attended the University of Sacramento for one year. That did not work so I came back to Garden Grove and furthered my education at Pepperdine University. I will be getting my Bachelors Degree on August 7, 1999 -- Yeah!! After graduation I will be starting my own company. I hope all that schooling will pay off. No matter how hard I tried I keep coming back to Garden Grove -- yuck! Hopefully my business will take me away.

I am in NY living as a Zen Buddhist monk. I am currently working on a CD about how to start as a new buddhist. It will be a accredited course from some colleges. I live a simple life here and am also wanting to hear from old friends.

30 years sure did go by fast. I found this page via surfboard, and it was fun reading about some of you. I have done a wide variety of things since 1970,some good, some not but am still at it. I am still in High school after all this time, as a teacher of Physics and soon to be an assistant principal. Who'dve guessed. Contact if you like, I'll write back

Where's all the old folks from '66? Anyone out there who remembers me?

Was feeling nostalgic and thought I'd try to drum up some old friends. Not too many of you on the internet, or so it seems. High school was full of some wild and crazy times! Anybody that remembers these crazy times, drop me an email, always fun to remember... late night yearbook deadlines... Mr. Shaw... grad party... Mr. Orlando's hair & nerve medicine... egg babies... Who shot J.R.?... etc.

hello all i haven't signed in for awhile so i thought i would take a look and see who has been visiting the site...still looking for some feedback on classmates. I would appreciate any information on any of the following folks...

Hello to any other members of my class.

I miss all my old friends at BGHS. Sometimes I wish I were back at school so I could see them all again.

It's been a long time since I've kept in touch with any of my classmates. I have to admit that I am a lousy pen pal. I would appreciate any contact from any classmates.

I have been on a strange trip these 27 years. I married Clarence King the class clown and had two of the most weird children dedicated my life to Christ and adopted four more. Clarence died in 98 and life will never be the same. Even though life has changed so much my faith in Christ has never been stronger. God bless you all!

joined the Marines to get away and still have seen enough or had enough challenges. Missed all the reunions but gonna try for number 20 if I am not cutting holes in the ocean or holding up a tree. Would be great to here from anyone still around.

No husband, no kids, Lots of younger boyfriends and PARTY PARTY PARTY!!!! Life is good!

I graduated in 1988 and now live with my family in Anchorage, AK.

Hi does anyone remember me? Well thats ok if you don't. I really want to know if anyone remembers a guy named Tom Hagan. If so I am searching for him. I think he also went by Tom Davis. He played baseball. He too graduated in 84. I need to find him, please help me if you can. Thank you! :) Joanne (Juliet)

It was great to see everyone at the reunion. Keep in touch.

How's it? Did you miss me? Well i'm back in town and will be around until fall of '01. catch ya later

Hello Everyone! Hope all is well with all my fellow alumn. Does anyone remember me? Drop me a line. Let me know how you are doing. The years at Bolsa were great, but while I was there I couldn't wait to get out. My how youth is wasted on the young. The days in Mr D's choir were the best. I remember them well. Would like to find some of my old buds. Danny Carillo, Mary Mick, Penny Robinson, Ken Weir, Linda Cathy, Dana Myers, etc...(please don't be offended if I left you out, time and space thing) I would love to hear from any of my old friends. Kevin

Hello if anyone can remember who I am I would love to here from you send me an E:mail ...... Thanks Joe Parsons Business Programmer Analyst Toshiba America Info Sys

Trying to find anyone from class of 76

Seeing some of your names brought back some great memories tonight! I've kept in touch with June (Grossman) Rose who visits from Texas on occasion and ran into Sandy Robertson a few years ago. Janet Maxwell and Leslie Ernest are nearby in Mission Viejo. I have fond memories of old friends John Beamish, Melanie Soapes (didn't she marry Brad Dawber's older brother??), and Don Worrell. I hope you're all well and happy. Delores Irwin, I haven't seen you since CSUF! You and Brad were great classmates; do you think Mrs. Carpenter remembers us??? She'd have to be 100 by now, don't you think?? Bolsa's STILL better than GGHS!!

This is great. Hope to reach old classmates. I wonder who is out there that I hung with a lifetime ago?

I am glad I found this Site. Hope to connect with some old friends.

none at this time

Was hoping to find some old friends. Hope this finds some.

Hey everyone just came to check this website. Wondering if anyone was going to try to do a reunion. Well feel free anyone to contact me but I do not promise to get back to you soon cause life is busy with 2 children and another one on the way.

Just saying hello to old Matadors,hope you all get a lot older.

I viewed the guest book and only recognized one name (Linda Lappert) from the class of '68. However, considering the ages of those who graduated in 1968, 1 out of any number is quite respectable. I am the Community Development Director for the City of Sparks, Nevada, a rapidly-growing city of 63,000 immediately northeast of Reno. I have been married to my wife, Betsy, since 1974 and we have two sons, Alex, 19, a sophomore at the University of Nevada-Reno and a runningback on the football team, and Evan, 15, who is just completing his freshman year at McQueen HS in Reno. I also have an email address at work: sparkscdd@compuserve.com for anyone who would like to get in touch.

Wow!! I can't believe this!!! too damn cool!!! Helllloooooo!!! Does anybody remember me? Am I here? Anyone remember the Concert Choir and Mr. D'Anna? I was in it for my sophmore thru senior years. Where are all my friends?? I lost contact a long time ago. Hellllooooo??? It would be really nice if anyone out there knows where Karen Howe might have ended up. I'd like to tell her that I did ok with myself. Debbie McVay??? Remember when we got locked in the school? Mike Whaley? best damn singer I knew. Joyce and Mary Mick? I still remember when Joyce tried out for CC, I wonder if Mary remembers me. Danny Carrillo??? leave at midnight, drive to Mammoth, ski all day and then drive home!! Where is everybody??? Does anyone even know my name *LOL* Guess thats enough huh? I could go on and on listing names, I would love to hear from anyone. Take care, great page, see ya............Richard

Hey there Matadors! just looking for anyone from class of '90. went to the reunion for class of '88, had a blast! can't wait for ours!! great time to have it....the new century!!!! well I'll check in again some time. Take care!!!

Hey 1988 grads!! I've been living in the Seattle area for almost 7 years. I am a municipal claims adjuster. I know what you're thinking. . .boring. Actually, it's very cool. I am married with a 7-year-old son who keeps me on my toes. Life is good! I'll be checking up on this site periodically, so if anyone even remembers who I am and wants to send me a message, this guest book is probably the best way.

Hello Everyone!!!

Looking for Alan Foster, or Terry. Hello Arnie & Shirley! Hi, everyone!

Looking to find out about the Class of 69. I only when to one class reunion about # 10 and wanted to make the trip out for the 30th. I only have contact with one other from the class, Lenord Mermod; he is in WA out on one of the islands. We haven't heard any other news from the class so I was poking around to see what I could find.

Was told about the home page and wanted to see how many of our class was still in the So. Cal area. Catch up to you online some time Rick

Anyone still alive and kicking from the class of '64??? I would love to hear from you!

Hey there! Anyone out there from the fabulous class of '73? I would love to hear from you... or anyone else that remembers me. Life is great, hope yours is the same! Take care, Michelle (thanks to the person(s) responsible for the creation of this website!)

Hello and best wishes to ALL FELLOW CLASSMATES yesterday, today and tomorrow!!!! Ever wish you could go back for just 1 day? I do. My new e-mail address is: mbauop@yahoo.com. Anyone know whereabouts of 1973 classmates?

It's good to meet up with old friends

Hello, fellow Matadors! I'm really new to this modern technology as Bert Peairs will testify. I was stationed at Fort Huachuca when I was a WAC in '71, married a fellow soldier in December of that year, travelled for 10 years, then returned in '82. We have two grown children, 3 grands, with another due soon. I've mainly kept up with Michelle Bagley, also a '69er; her daughter was even our daughter's flower girl a few years ago. I've attended the 5-20-25 year reunions and thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with people from as far back as 1st or 2d grade (Bunny Wheeler, Walter Takeda, Ellen Cartmell, etc.) I'd like to find Nicolette Schomisch, Pat Steele, and would like to correspond with anyone from our class or any others. My brothers (David '68, Roy '75) also live down here and have beaten me to this guestbook, but I plan on catching up with both of them in corresponding with fellow Matadors. Thanks Debbie and Bert for all the work you've done; you're really appreciated! 'Hope to hear from many of you soon. p.s. I will also correspond on paper. Wanda

HELLO OUT THERE//ANY ONE THAT REMEMBERS ME AND I DONT OWE MONEY .DROP A LINE . LIVE IN ST LOUIS THE PLACE WITH THE BIG ARCH. MAKING A LIVING AS A MEDIC/FIREFIGHTER IT PAYS THE BILLS THINK ABOUT SOME OF MY OLD FRIENDS AND ENEMIES OFTEN GOOD LUCK ALL JIM KINCY

Hi Rachel, Yes I do remember Robert, Dennis and Joe I'm pretty sure we went to school together since elementary school (Excelsior) god that seems so long ago.

My name is Dullard Trite, but it could be Bob Yamasaki, Larry Riddle, Tony Pepperling, Roger Blanco, Nick Carifi, Albert Savadra, Blake Fusco, Janice Maxfield, Laura Noe, Jill Fortney, Bonnie Baker, Larry Roberts, Freddy Vetone, Brad Slusher, Jessica Burns, Victor Garcia, Doug Nanni, Diane Cantwell, Keith Highland, Joyce Jazak, that streaker guy, or any of 350 other people from the Bolsa Grande High School graduating class of 1974. Do you know who I am? Let me tell you a little about myself. My mind resembles an occupied mental institution with walls cracked by the earthquake of my early childhood. The occupants are still screaming because they must cope with daily aftershocks. The aftershocks have taught me to feel insecure in the absence of emotion. To say that I am a sensitive man would be an understatement. My contrary, asocial, and contemplative manner does not reflect how much I hate living. My body does that just fine. My semi-Catholic head is much larger than normal. It weighs slightly less than a good 10 pound urethane bowling ball. It has the same number of holes, and it sometimes ends up in the gutter. My cadaverous complexion is blanched and severely cratered from years of acne. It covers my shoulders, and it runs up the back of my pitted neck. My beady gimlet bloodshot eyes, both the color of sorrow, live in the shadow of a thick bushy brow. My nose is normal, not prissy, chiseled, or gourdlike. My lips are thin and conceal a saw-toothed set of hominy colored teeth formed from a bite that is more like a press than a set of scissors. My hair is oily, dark brown, and unparted. It is brushed back hard on the sides and the top is bouffant brushed to cut back on the glare. My incomplete five o'clock shadow doesn't arrive on my blemished face until the middle of the night. My face does not conceal my gnawing sense of unhappiness. My parents are dead. Their history was a short record of car crashes, crimes, and confusion. Our home was the sight of many explosions from the illegal manufacture of methamphetamines. Their lives had just enough happiness to give them nothing more than an dim concept of hope. He was a combat decorated Navy SEAL and nationally syndicated advise columnist and part-time chemist. She was a total zero, a crack head, and a bad mother. They died together from self-inflicted gun shot wounds when the police came to bust up their lab -- for the last time. Their home was burned to the basement. I was spared, but have been concussed ever since. I begin to hear voices. "Hey meester, hey meester, I haven't seen you up here before." At this point my brain does a schizophrenic back flip, lands, and then skids off the tarmac seeking comfort or cleansing. I get pulled down and then find myself spinning in an ever tightening circle. Then I find myself thinking of machine assisted text assimilation and Jesus. I was raised semi-Catholic and spent eight years in Catholic school. The stern nuns wore the color of death -- black and gray. To this day I cannot remember the sound of children's laughter. Why is that? Was I powerfully exposed to the life of Jesus and discipline. I was. They made me wash out my mouth with soap and rapped my knuckles with a ruler. They made me write 500 word essays on self-discipline whenever I screwed up. And it was often. It got so bad that I wrote them in advance. That's when I started thinking about machine assisted text assimilation -- a process whereby scanned text images could be resequenced into bio-silicate DNA bit-maps and then injected directly into the brainstem. Once nested in the brain, reading books would no longer be required. But, it was just a concept that died on the vine. At this point my brain snaps back to the present. The basement was the only thing that wasn't burned in the fire storm. All that's left is a scorched vacant lot with a concrete driveway that leads to a small steel and concrete bunker. It sticks up about 12-inches above the dirt. It's the entrance to the top of the basement. That's where I live, next to the oil refinery. I live in the basement of their former Colorware six bedroom lab in Washingland County, a subsidiary of United Suction Technologies Group Incorporated. Sycophants from across the country, from around the world, are now making their way to that mecca of all meccas, my Colorware basement, to mark the day when I was "released" from the asylum. But you don't have to trek to Colorware to experience the magic. No -- Dullard, or some part of him, is everywhere. He's at a Delarado highway rest area, at a Texassippi shoe museum, and even in a West Verkota shopping mall as a hand painted, plywood Christmas decoration. He's in your churches, he's in your delivery rooms, he's in funeral homes, he's in every abbey, convent, and monastery. He's in cloistered places where people think about those things that really matter. Reverent fans have found artifacts of Dullard everywhere. Dullard, my friend, is near you. I have many colorful multiple personalities and I have lots of clairvoyant interests and hobbies, like UFOs, anger, absinthe dependence, and returning from diabetic comas. All this stuff has been building up inside of me for the past 40 years. My memory of it has not been selective. I remember all of it and now it's time to let it out. Colorware has been called the UFO Capital of the world. That's probably going a bit too far, but you be the judge. As state director of the UFO Network, my task is to look into all UFO sightings reported to me. It's a daunting chore when you consider that, in the past two years, I've filed reports on close to 100 alleged sightings in west Colorware alone. And that doesn't include close to 150 more verbal accounts of sightings. Just this morning a guy came in and said he saw one in 2002 at the high school. The local insurance agent, Otto Rex, admits he used to be a bona fide skeptic when it came to unidentified flying objects. But, as they say, seeing is believing. And when Otto saw what he's sure was a UFO three years ago, he began to believe in their existence. It was June of 2013 when me, my wife, and all of my 13 children spied what looked like a bright stream of Christmas tree lights just sitting there, maybe a hundred feet off the ground. The red, blue, green and white lights circled an object that spun around, and at one point the UFO lunged forward. I ran and got the camera and videotaped it for about ten minutes. Since it was 10 p.m. and pitch-dark, and since I had been drinking absinthe all afternoon, I had difficulty focusing on the object and didn't quite grab onto it until just before the battery died. I got about a minute's worth of the sighting on video. My brother, after studying the video, speaking on terms of anonymity, declared the sighting a genuine UFO. Still most folks in Colorware don't believe they exist, and this very fact is what usually triggers my anger. The police department ought to put chalk lines around all the early stages of my so-called development. My mother messed me up, real bad. I wasn't nursed and I wasn't given a bottle. I was force-fed intravenously for the first year of my miserable existence through a rusty hypodermic needle. The thinking was that it would save time and cut back on all hope of human contact. And it worked. At the same time, I was exposed to extreme violence. My nursery was equipped with three TV sets that were remotely operated by sophisticated software that selected only the most violent programs. They were on 24 hours a day. My nursery was also equipped with electronic sensors that tracked my every move. That is, when I wasn't tied down to my cold crib. Through complicated relay logic, the sensors would energize tiny electric motors to keep all three TVs perpendicular to my face, at all times. TV was my window to the dark world of murder, drive-by shootings, car accidents, amputations, decapitations, skin diseases, head shots, serial killings, Jeffrey Dahmer, flesh eating diseases, explosions, open wounds that wouldn't heal, spree killings, suicides, stabbings, gang warfare, germ warfare, Nazi propaganda, drunken hazings, knife attacks, shark attacks, bear attacks, jealous husband attacks, hate crimes, satanic rituals, and slow agonizing drownings. And that was only in the first year. It got worse. The research team, comprised of 13 doctors and 13 pharmaceutical companies, concluded that TV was the number one risk factor leading to my frequent auditory hallucinations and absinthe dependence. Wormwood pilots beware! The glide path on the wasted Cartesian coordinates of time and absinthe do not intersect with the future. But, if you have nothing to lose, and if you're looking for temporary auditory and visual enhancements, then I highly recommend absinthe. Vincent van Gogh was a test pilot for the stuff 110 years ago. Vincent experienced hallucinations in the last two years of his life. These adventures have been attributed to congenital psychosis -- the result of picking messed up parents. But he admitted to heavy episodes of heavy drinking and there is heavy evidence to indicate that heavy addiction to absinthe exacerbated his heavy mental status. Absinthe was distilled from an alcoholic steep of herbs, and included an herb called wormwood. There were no worms involved and it wasn't made from wood. If someone had asked me, I would have called it The Green Icon Toilet Fairy. Anyway, wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) was the major constituent because it contributed thujone. Thujone is a terpene. If you drink enough of this wormwood mash, the thujone will: 1.) Make you want to paint stars while wearing a hat with candles on the brim; 2.) Cause excitation; 3.) Cause convulsions that mimic epilepsy; and 4.) Reconfigure your hard drive, if you know what I mean. Statements in Vincent's letters indicate that he loved terpene compounds. His abnormal craving for them explain his attempts to consume turpentine (paint thinner), kerosene, and paints -- all terpene compounds. On one occasion, after swallowing oil colors out of their tubes, it required three people to take the tubes from him. Wormwood essence is good for a lot of stuff. It's also used as a counterirritant in Absorbine Jr. and Vicks VapoRub. I swear to God, I'm not making this up. My paranoid neighbors became suspicious. For the second week in a row I had taken two large plastic trash bags, filled with empty Vicks VapoRub bottles, to the curb. I had been bingeing on terpenes for 3 weeks straight. Or at least I thought I was bingeing on terpenes. Here's my logic. Absinthe is made from wormwood oil. Wormwood oil contains thujone. Thujone will make you happy. Vicks VapoRub contains wormwood oil, which contains thujone, and therefore it should also make you happy. My brother, after studying the logic, declared it universally correct. I proceeded. The instructions read: "Rub on thick layer. Keep clothing loose to let the vapors rise to the nose and mouth." From a strange combination of ambition and self- destructiveness or just out of schizophrenic angst, and to express my belief in personal freedom, I stripped down naked and smeared it on. Half out of morbid curiosity and half out of not having Proctor & Gamble's interpretation of "thick layer," and to get the best bang for my buck, I blobbed on a quarter-inch thick layer on my face and neck and chest and shoulders and stomach and arms. I went as far as packing it in both nostrils. The last things that I coated were my hands. Vicks VapoRub, my source of wormwood oil, my source of thujone, and my keys to the kingdom! Or, at least that's what I thought. Burdened by fear and loneliness, or disgust and rage, or misery and sorrow, I laid back breathing through my mouth waiting to be reborn. Like it or not, Lazarus was my role model. After nearly 4 hours, everything became dizzy and distorted like I was about to have the enhancements that I'd always wanted. My sniveling brain was spinning. I, Dullard Trite, was going to be the first person in Colorware to experience the thujone buzz, just like Vincent. Instead, out of pure stupidity, I slipped into a deep diabetic coma. Why? Because I'm a diabetic -- that's why. I'm a misunderstood miserable little diabetic who had gone without food, water, insulin, and oxygen for more than 4 hours. It wasn't the thujone either. My brain was spinning because I hadn't eaten and the Vicks VapoRub camphor vapors had starved my brain of much needed oxygen. Of course, all of this was complicated by the fact that I had taken NDE quantities of 3 letter drugs just the night before. Drugs like, PCP, LSD, EPO, and OMI. The first two had been synthetically produced in my clandestine basement laboratory. The third came directly from the Festina Watch Company in Spain, a proud sponsor of the Tour de France. And the other miscellaneous inhalants (OMI) had been furtively obtained from a hardware store. What the hell was I thinking? At that very moment, I guess it didn't matter -- because I was profoundly comatose, belly-up, naked and alone, in my basement, covered with a thick layer of Vicks VapoRub, and laying on a small pile of little blue plastic bottles. What the hell was I thinking? I opened my eyes and everything was white as pure. The only thing that I could relate it to was a gigantic Intel Class 1 Cleanroom. The air seemed HEPA filtered and right at 72-degrees Fahrenheit and 45% relative humidity. Perfect. I was looking straight up. All I could see were my arms. They were still covered with Vicks VapoRub. They went up to my hands, which were also covered with the slippery topical analgesic, which were desperately clenched to a pair of monkey bars. These were the playground monkey bars at the asylum. This was the asylum where they kept my mother and father, my brothers and sisters, and every other loser that I ever met or acknowledged. I knew that if I let go of the monkey bars, my grip on life would cease, and I'd be transported directly to infinity. And I had a complete sense of knowing that I had to choose -- that I had to choose between life and death. I knew that this was the real deal. No more bull :-) ! I knew without question, that if I let go, then I would cross over to the other side. The feeling of agony from having to hang on lasted only a few seconds, but it could have been a year. And then it happened. As soon as I began to fall I had a feeling of peace and expugnation, and a strong sense of well being. It culminated in a sense of overwhelming joy and happy blissful rapture, or perhaps it was a sense of summum bonum and humanitarian universal benevolence. I'm not sure which. At this point, I was aware that I felt no pain, nor did I have any other bodily sensations. Everything was quiet. Real quiet. And then the best part of all, the part that I had longed for like a kleptomaniac -- I no longer felt like I was in my body. I was looking at myself from some other perspective. It was happening. This simple melancholic dreamer, and native son of Colorware, was having an out of body experience. I could see like a fly with rear view mirrors. My hearing was perfect. I was aware of all the actions and conversations taking place around me. I found myself in a passive role, a detached spectator. It all seemed very real. Natural. It didn't feel like a dream or like an LSD-PCP-EPO-OMI hallucination. My mental state was one of clarity and alertness at the edge of all depths and abysses. Then I found myself in a state of dual Bohemian awareness. I perceived the physical scene around me, and I also became aware of another reality and I felt like an over weight alcoholic being drawn to a Bud Light. I drifted into a white void and felt as though I was floating through it. I was aware that I was alone, but the experience was predominantly peaceful and serene. It remained extremely quiet and I was aware only of my mind and of the feeling of floating. All at once, I knew that I wasn't alone. Thoughts were induced into my mind. Thoughts that stimulated me to review my life and asked me to decide whether I wanted to live or die. Before deciding, episodes of my life were flashed before my eyes. They were all there, scene after graphic scene. All of it: the raging fist fights, the cigarette mattress fires, the pet mutilations, the shared dirty hypodermic needles, the public drunkenness, the half successful abortions, the lies, the shoplifting, and all the pain and misery of living without hope. And to think, all this happened to my Mama while my Daddy was in prison for manslaughter for the third time. In another scene I could see them both in the same place at the same time. This was rare. They were screaming and fighting with each other again. He was drunk and wearing a pissed-off Mike Tyson face-like-a-fist look, again. In his mind he felt that there was nothing wrong with a man beating his wife. It was as simple as that. At that moment my Mama was becoming flame bait, but didn't know it. She was about to get the :-) kicked out of her because she was slapping him around for him driving his Harley into the living room again. She should have left him, but she didn't get the plot. And there I was, floating in the middle, feeling like Emily Webb in Thorton Wilder's Our Town. I screamed for them to stop fighting. As usual, I got no response. And then I was allowed to dream and to see into the future. My dreams were not recorded because they were a little more than spooky. They consisted of pure juxtaposition and included zero protocol. Illusion danced by the light of the moon and imitated fiction, which imitated a mid-air collision between a Boeing 777 and a McDonald-Douglas MD-80, which was imitating technology, which was imitating fragmented despair as everyone died from either smoke inhalation or from the earth entering the cabin at terminal velocity. I recorded the collision on my camcorder so that I could watch it over and over, so that I could edit in commercials, so that I could watch them die, so that I could experience fear and death. There's blood on my remote. I did all the talking as I was falling up as the victims fell down in pairs lashed to their seats with seat belts. It was a black cat night. Each dream was divided into units and then smeared, cut-up, blurred, and paste back together in no particular order. Despair was red and fear was black. The listeners are going in circles with stained souls, deprived of the crutch of the expected, continuously forced to examine the fact that they do not have control. And because of it, they are subject to their own depravity, like sick dogs of questionable pedigree arching their backs forcefully as they excrete long hard thick painful streamlets of dung. Pushing is not the opposite of pulling. Just as white is not the opposite of black. The unordered word fragments were tied up, shoved back and forth, in and out, and folded back over themselves like all the garbage at the landfill. Each random dreamrise was followed by a highly ordered dreamset, each spinning in the opposite direction like a gyroscope in a vacuum. It didn't make sense, none of it. The words, mostly pejorative adjectives, were jumbled. And I let it not make sense, but still I knew that it all added up as the Mexican theme park cotton candy was made entirely of steel wool by the light of the moon, as it disappeared under the surface of the water. It still didn't matter that blue was my favorite color. A cellular tight rope virus, like a thin line of reason, was constructed for their amusement. It was made entirely of time and added to zero. It's me against you. It's Interferon versus Hepatitis, it's happiness versus sorrow, and it's question versus answer. It's all happening in real time, as patriotic conservative factions agree that danger exists on all levels of consciousness. There is no place to hide. We must kid ourselves, or die, or crave freedom. This was just a dream. You cannot pretend to understand a dream, but you know that it's related to something. Therefore, it's as real as a rock. A magnetic field of thought acted as the fence at edge of all rapid eye movement. Loneliness, at the deep end, was caused by the mother who wasn't integrated into the pool of thought during the nurture phase of it all. I'm floating out on the ocean in a leaking life raft. And then I'm at the bottom of the ocean, and then I start swimming for the surface, and when I get half way, I hear my heart pounding so loud that it sounds like two hearts, and then I realize that I'm in my mother's womb, and I'm kicking. And now I'm kicking because of the lack of mirth. Vincent van Gogh's mother is responsible for all the work that convulsed through her famous son. So here is the question: Did anybody thank her? Life is a riddle. I am a nagging riddle of social conditioning and I'm hoping there's enough time to figure it out. I'm hoping to find the Internet site of all Internet sites, the one that will answer the riddle of my life. The one that will scratch my brain stem and give me satisfaction, the one that would give me the meaning of meaning, the one that would be a continuous blathering verbal soup of UNLESS, IF, and THEN logic statements in a twisted helix of never ending interwoven DO loops, where it was possible for software to mutate time, where it was possible for hardware to model black space, paper space, and negative abstractions of future. Mutations of extremely small hate particles formed a ladder that reached to the light of peace and then melted and then crushed all who attempted to ascend, and then blew out the eternal flame of joy, and then as expected World War 3 started. After this, I looked and beheld a door was opened in heaven. And the voice which I heard was a talking trumpet; which said, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must be hereafter." And then I wondered what the heck was going on here. It suddenly dawned on me that I needed to quickly revert to the general procedure explained in Theorem 77A which stated that I must learn all I can about the problem of death from a point of zero pensive bias, devise 13 independent disjointed conspiracy flowchart variations, and then implement all converging solutions that result in the greatest level of risk. But this wasn't enough for me -- I could not get over wanting blacker blacks. So, without further justification, and out of pure selfishness or low self-esteem, I decided to carry the method a step farther. Without regret, I decided to not look back. I decided to jump all the way in. Right then and there, I decided to step directly from this syntax dream state, across time and space, directly into the future. The future was more than could be imagined. A team of thirteen TechnoTech theoretical physicists serendipitously proved God's existence entirely by mistake while attempting to finalize the messy equations for the Unified Field Theory. This theory was originally hypothesized by Albert Einstein. It stated that all things, real and imagined, were held together by just one thing. It turns out the Einstein had spent the last years of his life secretly working on the proof of this "one thing." He didn't know it at the time, but he was single-handedly deriving the equations which would lead to the knowledge that God is the "one thing" that is holding all things together. But everybody, including his Princeton sponsors, thought that he was a nut case. Unfortunately, he died just one week before realizing the relationship between his E=mc2 equation and the Jungian-Bohr mind vacuum equations that would have led him to proving God's existence. The TechnoTech team, using the world's most powerful computers all operating in parallel and in conjunction with the use of the entire Internet architecture, and in conjunction with Lucent Technology processors connected to a daisy chain of 7 Einstein brain fragments, cryogenically stored for this very purpose, resolved the problem of God's existence in a mere 13 years. The TechnoTech team took the scholarly path and submitted their findings for peer review in scientific journals around the world. After a few minor corrections, it was concluded that God did, in fact, exist. They had all the math up the gazoo to back it up! Sadly, one corollary to their discovery was the fact that death did not exist. When this discovery was published, all atheists everywhere simultaneously killed themselves in protest. It was not televised and nobody cared. At this stage, I had no awareness of time or space, and the concepts themselves were meaningless. Neither was I any longer identified with my flabby body. My mind was the only thing that was present. I considered the alternatives that confronted me at this threshold separating life from death: to go further into this experience or to return to earthly life. I decided to return. I came back because I wanted the chance to try again. I didn't want the chance to try living again. I wanted the chance to see how close I could come to dying without actually dying again. I wanted to quietly experiment with death in the darkness of my basement. I wanted to see how close I could come to the edge without going over it. Yeah, I decided to return, and it was with good reason. Once the decision was made, the experience abruptly terminated, like a bubble bursting. And then I returned. I don't remember what effected my return because at this point I lost all awareness. The only thing that I remember is returning to my body with a big jolt. Afterward, when I was able to recount this experience, I found that there were simply no words adequate to convey the feelings and quality of awareness I remember. I became reticent about discussing it with others, either because I knew that no one would really be able to understand it or because I feared that I'd be disbelieved or shamed. Or because I thought that they'd try to save me. So here I am back in my Colorware basement, back to an audience of zero, back to no charisma, back to emptiness and high-grade chronic fatigue, and back to waiting. I'm waiting to hang from the monkey bars of death. My fingers are ready to slip into a dimension where pain and suffering do not exist. Now do you know who I am? (I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I got a D- in Mr. Schwartz's English class. Remember him? I still get a nervous twitch when I think of those funky suits that he always wore.)

ATTN:CLASS OF 1971 My mom Kathleen Piper class of 71. Is looking for her old friend Sharon Schaufler. Also class of 71. They lost touch after the BIG San Francisco quake.

I still keep in touch with Denise Rebai(Martinez) Karla Palmer and Crysti Park, would love to hear what everybody else is up to.

Hello everyone. I was on the water polo and swimming team during the years of 1967 - 1970. I believe it was in 1969 when Craig Fineman and myself became the "Matador Bull". My favorite class during H.S was Aviation with Tom Rose. Does anyone remember when we built the hot air balloon and inflated it at Homecoming? I was the guy who didnt let go of the rope when the balloon got out of control. I dangled 30 feet or so above the earth until they deflated the hot air from the balloon. I use to hang around with such guys as Dennis Stanley, Gary Bennett, Lorin Fleming, Duane Wiess, Craig Fineman, Steve Grimsley and Steve Perkins. My first real date in High school was with Windy :-) <??}. BOB'S BIGBOY was the place to hang out on Friday and Saturday night. How many people remember that ???? Write back soon, love to hear from you all..

I have been married for almost 3 years now and have 2 children, a daughter who is almost 2 and a son who is 1 month old. We live in student housing at BYU and are having a blast. We will move back to Orange County in December 1999

A reunion announcement for Bolsa Grande High School class of 1989: Sept. 18, 1999 (562)464-1700

It's good to see all of you here, if only electronically. I've been in touch with Bill And Chuck Nibeel recently at Chuck's 50th birthday. They're doing great. I also saw Greg Scott at a Shotokan Karate Tournament in Los Angeles, where he was refereeing the event. He's in even better shape than in high school, if that's possible! I'm thinking about joining if I can find the time. Also visited with Bob Nibeel and his wife Marianne last summer. I spent about 9 years in Colorado in college (Univ. of Colorado - go Buffs!) and law school at the U of Denver. Now, I'm back in OC practising construction law. I'd love to hear from anyone. After 3/16/99, my e-mail is changing to whlesq@home.com (gotta love those cable modems with no waiting on the web). BTW, I missed the last reunion conference at Debbie (Lyle) Andrews house for the Class of '69. What's up? Looking forward to seeing the rest of the "Hockey Club." Also, does anyone know if some of the old teachers are still around? Avery, SanFillipo, Cox, Wilson, Aldridge, etc.? Great job on the web page. Keep up the good work.

SNOWY GREETINGS FROM UTAH (THE GREATEST SNOW ON EARTH)! HELLO CLASS OF '68. FOR THOSE THAT HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING...I "VOLUNTEERED" OUR FAMILY RANCH FOR OUR GRAD NIGHT PARTY. SOUNDS LIKE I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT AGAIN FOR THE 30 YEAR RE-UNION! UNFORTUNATELY, WE SOLD THE RANCH LAST YEAR. BEST I CAN DO NOW IS INVITE YOU ALL OVER FOR THE 2002 OLYMPICS! FAIR WARNING, THOUGH, I AM A DEPUTY SHERIFF AND AM THE COURT COORDINATOR FOR SECURITY. MY HUSBAND IS A DEPUTY ALSO AND WORKS IN THE JAIL! BUT, HEY, HOW MUCH TROUBLE CAN YOU POSSIBLY GET INTO IN UTAH!

I am graduating from Humboldt State University in May 1999. I plan on persuing my elementary teaching credential in the fall.

I am graduating from Humboldt State University in May 1998. I will be persuing my elementary school credential in the fall.

I have been married for almost four years. I have two wonderful little boys. I am a stay at home mom and love it!

Great Idea! I'll tell my sisters!

I am a little surprised that the Class of '76 does not have a homepage yet. What with all the alums that work for Microsoft etc. We hope to have enough time to get a family hompage together this year, but with a seven and a two year old who can tell.

This is so great! I have found 4 old friends, and caught up on 28 years of life.....I really loved my years at Bolsa. I have some then & now pics of me, and my sister Debbie (Class of 72) if anyone wants. Does anyone have pics of what Bolsa looks like now? Go Matadors! We are the Matadors, Mighty Mighty Matadors, Everywhere we go - people want to know - so we tell 'em......

Has anyone seen Chris Brown from the Class of '68

What a great idea!

Nice web site. It's good to see all these former Matadors.

This is really exciting. I've never been able to attend any of the class reunions and it would be very interesting to see who is out there from class of "77" I've been a chairside dental assistant for over 20 years. I've been married for almost 18 years, yes to the same person, his name is David we have 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl. Is there anyone out there from 77?

Great idea! It's a bit difficult keeping in touch when you're on the other side of the world! Now I can!

Hello to any fellow 69ers! Would like to hear from anyone out there still alive! After BGHS, I graduated from CSUF, worked in Africa for 6 years, NYC for 4 yrs. and now work for GTE in Carlsbad, CA. Married and have a 2 yr. old daughter.I have Dave French's email address if anyone knew him. I can't believe they dropped the dress code the year 'after' I graduated!

Class of 66-love to hear from you-has any one heard of Jane Jones-we played together as kids-she married Roy Love (JT & Sharon's bro) I lost touch. She moved to another state. This is Stephanie (or Lynne, depending on what you called me)

Hello all. Any class of "64" out and about drop a line.

Would love to hear from anybody but especially Cross Country, Marching Band, or SPGPA-ers. Had the opportunity to visit Jeff Aamodt at Microsoft a while back. Dave Jezak is there as well but was on vacation. Scott Saito keeps threatening to set up a tee time. I've read all the guest books and it seems like the class of 76 is slow to get on the 'net! Let's hear from you!

I've been looking for classmates from the class of '64. Anyone out there know me?

Hey All, This is a great site, thanks to whomever did all of the hard work!! I heard about the chat on the 25th and thought I'd pop in and check it out. Hope everyone from the class of '81 is doing well! Later, Coleen :)

OOPS...the busted link to my home page is corrected in this entry.

Greetings to all and especially to the Class of '63. I notice that Tom Hinke signed one of the older guest books. Anyone else from '63 around? I would love to hear from you. I left CA in '63 after graduation to join the Navy and never went back except to catch a plain heading further west. Somehow I managed to collect a couple degrees in healthcare administration but am now retired & filling my time doing custom leatherwork and woodcarving in the swamps of east TX.

I would like to here from my 1975 classmates. I would also like to receive information regarding our upcoming class reunions. Thank you.

Contact me with any info on a 15 yr reunion, it would be great to see what everybody is doing now. XOXO

Has anyone considered having 1 massive reunion for all classes for the year 2000? What do you think? Maybe Mardi Gras theme! Class of '88, where are you? Check out our class page...Thanks to Debbie, it is sooo cool! If you would like to post anything on the class of '88 page, announcements, pictures of your or your kids, whatever, just email me and we'll get it in the works.

anyone want free Hershey chocolate candies???

Greetings fellow Bolsa alumni! I would love to hear from any of you who remember me or even those who don't. I like having new e-mail buddies. My sister, Linda Frazier, graduated in '73, and my brother, Tom Frazier, graduated in either '83 or '84. I don't think either of them has e-mail. So, if you remember them and would like to get in touch, e-mail me.

HI all, great site. I still go to Garden Grove every friday night to show my 69 SS CAMARO (red) at a classic car show on old main st. and Garden Grove blvd. stop by and say hi.

Is there a prize for moving farthest away?

I hope the years have been kind to you all! Please feel free to drop me an e-mail if you remember me from the class of 78 or to just say "Hi". Been living in Japan for the past 9 years and it would be great to hear from some old friends... All the best, Kirk Hubbard

I don't know if anyone will even know who I was. I only attended for 1 semester, then took a proficiency test in '79. I never thought iI would be contacted , but sure enough received an e-mail today telling me of a group chat on 2/25. I think I may stop in to see if anyone remembers me, or if any names ring a bell.

To all the Drill Teamers out there - and other Matadors... I live in Birmingham, Alabama - a long way from home. Lived in Montana till 2 years ago. I am a Marketing Manager for Sonat Power, have one son (15 yrs). Looking for: Dana LeMasters and any other friends who remember me. Drop me a line!

Logged into the guest book, and saw 4 old friends right away - awesome....yes, it has been a long and strange road. Thanks to the people who put together our 15 year reunion photo book. I spent a week just pouring over it, and laughing and crying about all of the good times, and missed friends. I've lived all over the US, and couldn't get there - so it helped alot. Thanks to Cara and Will Friday for replacing my Senior year annual - I lost all of mine in a fire, and it is a joy to have one again. God Bless you all in your journeys. If you get to Alaska, look me up!

This is great! I look forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones.

Hi! Nice to see we have a website... If anyone remembers me, give me an e-mail. I'll be glad to hear from you.

Would love to find some people: Teacher Pearl Aldritch, Student Debbie Ferguson, Jim and Terry Poole (Pooley?)Sue Samarian.

We are planning a Bolsa Chat for 2/25/99 from 4pm-12pm EST on AOL Instant Messanger (AIM). I was trying to send everyone the invitation from AIM to download 2.0 but it was just taking forever so I'm posting it here. You can follow the link from The Bolsa Grande High School Alumni web page or from AOL. If you already have a screen name in AOL, you can use the same screen name but need to download the 2.0 AIM or you will not be able to group chat with us on AIM. We want to see how many can group chat in AIM and maybe get some ideas for that anniversary reunion. Anyone is welcome and hope to see you there! I'll be there and my screen name is (dustytexan). I will bring you into the chat if you IM me!......Debbie (Brooks) Tevis

By the way Janine, I guess this means you missed La Quinta's class of 1968 30 year reunion they had last year. I'll see if I can get the last name but the first name of the contact person for that reunion was Gus.

Hi all--- Is there anyone out there from the class of 1960???

I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 19 years. I have been married for 11 years. We have 1 daughter, Laura, who is nine. I am a RN working at Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford in the Intensive Care Nursery. I also teach ladies how to use their expensive sewing machines at Eddie's Quilting Bee in Mountain View. I would love to hear from any one from the Class of '68.

I am a graduate from LaQuinta High School. I don't think they have ever had a reunion. Hardly anybody gets on the site. However, I lived in Bolsa Territory a big part of my life. I went to Mitchell Elementary School. I was in Girl Scouts with Gloria Guzman. Our family were personal friends of the Sewitsky family. If you ever read this I'ld love to hear from you. I remember there was a big white house right next to Mitchell. Barbara Blaha lived there. I knew a Wendy Fegley and Charlene LeMasters. They lived in the neighborhood over from where we lived on Blake St. I am currently a Reading Recovery teacher in Laurel, Indiana at Laurel ELe. school.

Interested in a Reunion for the class of 68
