1990 |

We Lost a great human being tonight in Josh Leslie today who was a graduate of 1990. He was one of the best baseball players to play at Mar Vista who was a backstop at second base and a great hitter. He later went on to play softball and was equally talented at that sport as well. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Josh. your sense of humor and your life will never be forgotten.

Jo, You’re experience is the reason I built this website, not necessarily to look at pictures but to actually contact old classmates. Thanks for your heart warming post it made me feel so good. Thursday September 1, 2016 10:00 - Imperial Beach

Jo Foster |

I just have to share this info. Upon surfing this website and under the "FOUND MARINERS " section, I read my brother-in-laws name, Johnny Apple '58. So I went to his year, located him and right above his picture was, Sandra Alcorn w/ her email address as well as the town she resides in (New Johnsonville TN). That's where I live, I was so excited. I emailed her and received a reply. We met and shared SO MUCH information about I.B.. Actually talking w/ someone who grew up in the same town as you did, who KNEW the old I.B. and 2600 miles away, living in the same town is awesome. Thank you Henry Vargas for your time and ALL you do to make this website what it is. Thursday September 1, 2016 09:14 - New Johnsonville TN

Jerry Hamilton |

My email address hasn't changed from what Henry has in the class of 1967 index. We DO NEED AND SOLICIT help and input from those of you still in I B or the vicinity. We want the best, realistic options for our get-together. Anyone who has been to one of our reunions knows that they REALLY ARE A LOT OF FUN. It'll be like meeting old friends for the first time! It is important and it will be worth the effort. Aside from family, friends are the BEST. Get in touch. Get involved. Let's get together. Tuesday August 30, 2016 11:29 - Richland, WA

Paul Floyd '64 |

Never thought that minuscule amount of time spent in high school would mean so much to me. Tuesday May 10, 2016 11:26 - Houston, Texas

Tyrone Northcutt, '64 |

I moved back to San Diego about 7 months ago. Good to be back. I was at the last Reunion and it was good to see many faces I had not seen in 20 years since the 30th, and some it had been 52 years or more. And since then a few have passed on. I thank those who put in the time to make a reunion happen. Thursday May 5, 2016 00:15 - Escondido, CA 92025

Tom McKay 52 |

Happy to be alive. Whew!!! With all my major diseases I never dreamed I would be an Octogenarian. So, though pain always persists, I am still coaching boxing, writing a little, and dancing my butt off at a few local bars with rock and country bands. How about that Tarzan? Have a happy Monday April 25, 2016 16:02 - El Paso, Texas

Cassandra Alvarez class of 2006 |

Hello just wondering if there will be a 10year reunion for the class of 2006? Sunday April 24, 2016 12:07 - San Diego California

David Leighton '67 |

Hello Carol and Jerry! I agree with you. A nice affordable location. Planning the 50th now would allow everyone the opportunity to attend. Have a Great Day!. Friday April 22, 2016 10:12 - Wichita, Kansas

Carol Walker Rossetti, 1967 |

I think our 50th is indeed a very important reunion. I don't care where we hold it but would like for it to be an inclusive place. Nice but not expensive so everyone who wants to can attend. I have moved since last reunion and I think many other may have too. I can help organize plus so lets get some others involved. Sunday April 17, 2016 19:54 - Aurora, Colorado

David Simpson |

My mother informed me of the passing of Agnes Szabol, class of 1974. She was an Exchange Student that lived with our home. Wednesday April 13, 2016 08:58 - Simi Valley, CA

Jerry Hamilton 1967 |

My recollection is that the breakfast club meets at the Fleet Reserve. Someone suggested we hold our Reunion there. What do you think? So far our criteria is low cost, friendly atmosphere, and big enough to handle the whole group. Thursday April 7, 2016 14:09 - RICHLAND, WA

Jerry Hamilton 1967 |

The last class reunion should be viewed as a wake-up call. They are important and it is important to have as much input and participation as possible. That way we'll have the Reunion that communicates to each and every class member that you are important. Having spoken to several class members I think there is significant interest in getting a functional committee gathered together to start making plans. For several years I've hope for a Reunion that places emphasis on making the primary get-together inexpensive enough to make EVERYONE not just feel welcome but REALLY be welcome. For some of us it will be our last opportunity, for some it will be our first. I care about ALL of you and am willing to do what I can to help make it the best attended yet. My email is still good and I welcome your input and help. If you've had thoughts...feelings...twinges of any kind NOW is the time for ALL good Mariners to come to the aid of their Once-in-a-lifetime-50th-Class-Reunion!

James Singer,'69 |

It is so sad to see the memorial wall get more names added to it, but I guess that is what life is about. Some I knew, some I knew of, some were friends and others I just passed by in the hall or outside during lunch. I hope when we have our next reunion (50th) we can have pictures of those that are no longer with us. Tuesday February 2, 2016 14:20 - Crescent City, CA
