Class of '60 turning 70: As we promised at the 50th reunion, your reunion committee has put together a plan for a mini-reunion celebration that corresponds loosely to our collective 70th birthday. SAVE THE DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 2012.

Jack Dawes has been the executive officer: he has researched the officer's clubs and related facilities in San Diego and we have booked Saturday, September 15, at the North Island Naval Air Station's "19th Hole." It's a beautiful facility in an equally beautiful setting. We are set for a buffet dinner that will cost about $35.00 per person (cash bar will be available).

We will have access to the restaurant's patio with chairs, tables & umbrellas. There is golf course all around the building with a driving range for the Tiger Woods hopefuls (there may be putting greens, too).

The Golf Pro Shop is next door to 19th Hole. Golf can only be played during weekdays. So we can book Friday, September 14, for our golfers. Tee times start at sunrise. Golf Carts available. Extras can be rented for following the golfers. We can setup a tournament, if we there is interest in doing that. There is a Refreshment Cart available for a great cool drink.

For those who are eligible--retired and active duty service personnel, and DOD employees-- there is a Navy Lodge, brand new in 2011, with awesome facilities.

This web site has links to all the North Island and other San Diego facilities: http://mwrtoday.com/sandiego/

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NOW? Make a commitment to come to San Diego for this mini-reunion. We will confirm prices and send out details about driving onto the Naval Air Station soon. For now, we would like to get your feedback so we can have a realistic idea of our expected turn-out. You can reply to this e-mail or leave a message on our new Class of 1960 Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SanDiegoHighSchoolClassOf1960. Our class web site is full of great information, too:

[The San Diego High School Alumni Association's Facebook web site is at: https://www.facebook.com/SDHSCavemen. Remember to join the Alumni Association--no one EVER bugs you for donations or contributions of any kind. The twice-a-year newsletter is well worth the annual membership fee of $15.00!]

Please ask other classmates whose e-mail addresses and/or other contact information is missing from our files to contact me.

On behalf of the planning committee, I send our best wishes.

cheers,

Feel free to contact other Class of 1960 classmates here, make announcements and follow the news on SDHS Class of 1960 Members.

One of our PE Coaches at Roosevelt, Donald Berg, was seen at the SD Jocks Luncheon in San Diego (January 27, 2012). At age 90 now, he has been retired from teaching at Roosevelt and later, Horace Mann Jr. Highs. Coach Berg is a graduate of Hoover HIgh.

The picture below was taken at a recent luncheon of the Countywide San Diego Jocks’ Association Luncheon where it was announced
SDHS Alum (Class of 1959) Art “Hambone” Williams will be inducted into the Breitbard Hall of Fame in San Diego in the near future. Hambone was a star basketball player with the Cavers and later with the Boston Celtics.

In a recent Alumni Association newsletter mailed to SDHS Alumni members, all
new and returning alumni of San Diego High School are being offered a new FIVE YEAR membership for FIFTY DOLLARS.

We have had a continuing good time since the big gathering.  In September 2010 my husband, Ken Chang, celebrated a significant birthday with a Mediterranean cruise. We, of course, had a wonderful time. Ken's passionate hobby of photography continues to provide us with wonderful visual memories. 


I am spending even more time with my quilting. Family weddings offer great opportunities for quilting gifts. Ken's niece was the recipient of a double wedding ring at her wedding in Honolulu. (quilt.jpg)  The bride is in the left rear. What a wonderful place for a wedding and family reunion.  Ken's family live in Hawaii, Honolulu and Molokai.


With Xmas coming up, I am providing Ken with a big hint.  My top of the list is a tractor! At every visit to Lowe's, I try them on for size.  I think living in Alaska warrants a tractor.  I point out each winter that my tractor would save him a lot of work shoveling out the house. So far, no go.  But I keep hoping.

We have such wonderful memories of the 50th reunion. We both hope all are keeping healthy and active.

Later, the same friend, Judy Steiger, was the preschool teacher of Penny & John's kids in Hingham, Mass. Small world.” The Perkins and the Frabottas will be attending the reunion, of course.
