Dear Muir 1959 Classmates:

We hope you are all in good health and having a great 2008!

We want to let you know that we have recently booked

the University Club of Pasadena

for our upcoming Muir "50th" class reunion.

Please save the date:

Saturday night, September 26, 2009.

We know it's a little early but we hope that you will plan to be there to make this the best reunion ever. Please pass on any information to those who may not be on email. We are currently trying to update and gather email addresses so we can save money on the cost of snail mail. Mailings will also be sent but email will be our primary mode of communication. If you know of any classmates who need to update their information, please have them either call us at (818) 790-1959 or email us at muirreunion@gmail.com.

More details of the reunion will be sent out soon as we progress with the plans. Please keep in touch with us so we can keep our data updated and keep you informed. Thanks, we look forward to hearing from you and seeing all of you there.

Memory Book Update

Dear Classmates:

We have had quite a few inquiries regarding the mailing of the Memory Book. Well, after several calls to the company, we are supposed to get the proof of the book next week and if there aren't a lot of changes, you should have the book in your possession sometime in the middle of February. I am sorry there has been a delay. The company had a lot of reunions during the fall of 2006 so the influx of work has slowed their production down. When it arrives, it will be fun to reminisce again about that wonderful evening and get us all thinking about the possibilities for the 50 ^{th, which will be here before we know it. Please be sure to let us know if you have any changes in your address, phone, email, etc. Now that we have found you, we don't want to lose you. Please keep in touch.}

Reunion Committee

This is your reunion committee hard at work. They are from left to right : Sandy Baird Valenzuela, Gary Smith, Mary Pluss Smith, Linda Mitchell O'Conner, and Larry Kaminski (not pictured).

alumni...

recently, a group representing classes from the 1950's through the 2000's formed the John Muir High School Alumni Association (JMHSAA).
their goal is to bring together those interested in planning reunions and other activities for their classes... this is the first organization that will involve our alumni as a whole....click on the link and check it out...

interesting sidebar here, the class of '55 has a regal 50th reunion planned for this summer, disguised as a week long party, conspiring with the pasadena high school alumni of the same vintage, and concluding with a four night cruise to baja!!!
these are not timid planners - they are truly going for the brass ring - the most monumental, most impressive, reunion ever!!!

until our 50th, anyway...

rendezvous...

mark your calendars!!!
the reunion committee, after much consideration, calculation, contemplation, cogitation, consultation and consternation,
has reported that we have a tenative date...

@brookside golf club in pasadena...

be there or be square!!!

(did we really used to say lame things like that???)

hernando...

against all odds, there appears to be a smattering of actual talent embedded in this class of ours - one case in particular, a spanish surrealist and one-time cheerleader, larry gomez;
who, long ago, we nicknamed hernando, (in obvious reference to his spanish surname and in conjunction with a popular song at the time, "hernando's hideaway" - truth be known, he has never warmed up to the hernando tag) although he goes by lare now (though why anyone would want to shorten/modify such a cool name as larry is beyond me) - anyway, in addition to his career in the business/computer world, he has simultaneously cultured a second career as an artist of some renown - I remember enjoying many of his early works, back in the 60's, before I moved from southern california, but don't take my word for it, art is such a matter of personal taste, check out his website, illusions by lare, and see for yourself - you may discover the Salvador Dalí of our generation and be pleasantly impressed, if not surprised...

Greetings Classmates! Mary and I have agreed to co-chair a Reunion for the Muir Class of 1959. This is tentatively planned for about OCT 2006 so you don't have to buy a new outfit yet. Maybe we can make it shorts and Hawaiian shirts and goof-boots. Don't think I will pass that by Mary though. Be thinking of any clues you have on locating classmates. We will join that classmates.com so we can e-mail y'all (Texas leftover). Better start resting up for Reunion 2006 and even that will be leading up to #50 (whenever that is; I can't count that high).
