Classmate News for January

You may enjoy the piece of prose just sent in by Classmate Barry Lazarus entitled:

"Steve Jobs' Last Words". 

Check it out at the link at the left with the same title.

The recent wild fires in California have affected our Classmate Lou Abramson.  He and wife Judy had to temporarily vacate their home.  The following news, in Lou's own words, were recently relayed to us by way of Classmate Barry Lazarus:

Hi:

Friday morning at 2:00 am, Mindi got a call to evacuate. Dean got the call at 3:00 am and we got it at 3:30 am. [editor's note: Mindi & Dean are Lou and Judy’s children.]

There were no hotels available within thirty miles.

Mindi's husband's family have a five-bedroom home on the beach in Ventura, CA. We spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday in a house with four families, five dogs, two cats and a bird. Amazingly, we all got along. When we got home, we had minor smoke in the house. Mindi had a little more but Dean had it bad. Within less than a hundred yards of Dean, eight houses got hit. All were from 6,000 to 10,000+ square feet. Mindi's house was in the hot bed of it all in Agoura Hills. There's a lot to burn.

There are still fires going. No rain for years is a killer with all this mountainous terrain.  A fire starts in the middle of Santa Ana Winds, and everything goes. Winds got up to 50 mph. Embers can travel up to two or more miles.

That's what happened. With the mountains like match sticks, it gets hit with an ember and goes crazy.

However, we are all OK and that's what counts. Material things can always be replaced.

Thanks for thinking of us.

Lou & Judy

Please say a prayer for Lou and Judy Abramson, their children Mindi and Dean and their neighbors.

You will find the 60th reunion photos at the three links at the left entitled:

• 60th Reunion at Kip's Bar
• 60th Reunion at Tim's Farm
• 60th Reunion Banquet Shot 

We thank classmates Dwight and Cricket Atwood-Steege, Bill Kerwin, Donna Rose Reyes and KC Cravens for their willingness to share their photos.  Tim Kiernan's daughter, Monica, also contributed many of the photos taken at the Farm.  You may, in the case of each of the three files, look at the "slide show" of photos, timed to change every 7 to 10 seconds; or, you can find all the same still shots at the bottom of the page and look at them as long as you like.  Captions will appear at the bottom of some of the pictures.

We hope you had a wonderful time at the 60th Class Reunion on Aug. 24, 25 & 26.  Whether you came only for the Kip's Friday night social, or the Farm Event at Tim Kiernan's on Saturday, or enjoyed the Dinner and Program at the Minneapolis Golf Club on Saturday, a good time was had by all. 

On behalf of the planning and coordinating team, led by Karen (KC) Cravens Bretzke, we wish you good and stable health, for you need to prepare for our collective, all-classmates' 80th Birthday Party in 2020.  Stay tuned for news about that.
