Tonight June 17 it will be 50 years since I graduated from High School. Here are some Facts
High Temp for the day 112F
Location: Memorial Auditorium, Sacramento, CA no A/C
Dress: Suits for the boys, dresses for the girls + the Gown. No sandals or shorts.
Number of Graduates 558
Today
407 unable to locate as of now
70 deceased, none in the Vietnam war. 5 of them were close friends in school.
81 have registered on the web site.
16 of those including 3 women have had military service.
60 of us still live in California and most in and around Sacramento
5 live in Foreign Countries
The rest in other states.
Half of us have some type of College Degree including 5 PHD's.
50 years has equalized us and we are balding, white haired and over weight.
50 years has also healed wounds as most of us are attending the reunion in the fall.
For that period of time we had a very diverse class racially, with minority class officers during the 3 years of high school. We just didn't understand about the racial issues in other states during that time, although looking back there were even in Sacramento, they just weren't' as out in the open like other places.
I can say that the past 50 years haven't been boring when you look at the history of this time. Just think I have live through Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Regan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, and Oboma. Also at least 4 recessions and 4 Earth Quakes.
