DEPOSITS NEEDED NOW
This is the part where I nag you. If you plan to attend, like James Brown said PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE send your check today. Walk-ins will be accommodated in case your spouse has a last-minute change of heart, but the people who have pre-paid will be fed first. Besides, it’s a lot easier to plan a party if we know how many guests to expect. A tank of gas costs $50+. We’re talking about a nice meal at a beautiful bay-side location, dancing, hanging with fun people and a souvenir CD with Hits from 1967 for $100. That’s way more fun than a tank of gas. Come on, people. We aren’t just celebrating our 40th Reunion. We’re celebrating an era. Okay, I’ll stop now. Just make your check payable to: SDHS Reunion Fund and mail it to our treasurer: Gay Watson Cullinan at 1779 Rancho Cajon Pl., El Cajon, CA 92019. Send the check today. Don’t make me call you in the middle of the night. I will. I have no shame.

CAVERS COMING
The list is growing. We’re excited. It looks like we’re headed for a great turnout, with close to 60 people including spouses signed up already and it’s only September. Some of the folks you can expect to see include: Oscar Foster, Rose Hom, Joan Crawford, Barbara Tharpe, K.C. Davis, Tom Anderson, Shannon Walsh, Johnny Castillo, Gay Watson, Steve Fickas, Bill Franklin, Anna Coffenbarger, Paul Jacobsen, Kathy Krane, Joe Lessor, Martha Lundberg, Jill Aurand, Janet Glasgow, Joe Niemeyer, Wayne Osgood, Carlos Parong, Rosie Partida, Frank & Josie Giacalone Piranio, Janet Reyman, John Rodriquez, Suzanne Franklin Bernardino, Dominic Sanfillipo, Roberto Saucedo, Hal Velline, Jeanne Willis, Joanne Willis, James Lee Wong, and Kim Edwards (who went to Pt. Loma, but their reunion is a loser, so she's coming to ours, instead). By the way, anyone from any class year or school is welcome. Just have them contact me.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
Hors d’ouevres, roast baron of beef (chef-carved), vegetarian lasagna, green beans almandine, garlic and chive mashed potatoes, Chocolate Raspberry cake. Something for carnivores and vegetarians. Yum. Yum.

ENTERTAINMENT
Will there be dancing? You bet. DJ and fellow Class of '67 Caver Sammy Vasquez will be on hand to play the songs you fell in love to way back in the day. Do you have a favorite song you? Let us know and we’ll make sure Sammy has it in the mix.

CONTRIBUTIONS
We want to thank Steve and Margie Noisat Chamberlain, and Pam Jameson Weinesch for their generous contributions to the 40th Reunion Fund. They can't attend but their donation will help us with expenses. Thanks, Cavers!

Lost & Found Cavers Update

We've found (or they've found us): Steve and Margie Noisat Chamberlain, Bruce Schraer, Mark Wallen, Steve Welch, Olga Sherr Mandel, Gail Babbs, Eula Williams Johnson (who is helping us find Carolyn Clayton Cherry and Louise Faye), Keith Burgess, John Joyce and Stella Macias Villasenor. Jill Aurand Muse and Katy Thurston Jordan are doing a great job of sleuthing but everyone's help is needed.

There were over 600 people in our graduating class. We have current contact info/status reports for fewer than 1/3 of them. Whatever happened to Karen Hayashi? Anita Green? Tony Richardson? Richard Quintero? Terry Thornton? Trails have gone cold on Mike Calvin, Bill Moorhead, George Guevara, Sophie Stockton Schon, Russell Romano, Natalie Marrujo Kostos, Linda Holt Michievitz, Norma Quinones, Daniel Cruz-Gonzales, Sandra Sanchez Dare and John Bernard (all recent snail mails returned undeliverable). The list goes on. Whether or not you can make the reunion this time, it would be great to have a comprehensive list to pass on to the next person who has to pull this together next time. You know where to find me.
