A request for information from a friend of Dale McMillin. Please forward any information you have to Charlie.

"Can you tell me anything about Dale McMillin's death? I was stationed with Dale in 67 and 68. He survived Nam.

We are planning a reunion in 2007, 40 years. I googled his name and found his name and picture on your site. If you can tell me what city he died in, maybe I can find his obituary. Do you know if he had any siblings? Thanks for your help.

Don Lane
Kentucky

P.S. I graduated in June 1965. Drafted few months later."

I want to extend a special "thank you" to the reunion committee for organizing the party. The organizational effort was very successful. Thanks a million also to Gary Heck, Danny Baker, and the staff there at Korbel. Everything was perfect.

Thanks, everyone, for participating in the reunion. I had a really wonderful time visiting with as many of you as I could. It was a great deal of fun to see many of you for the first time in 40 years. I can't remember having that much fun and laughing like that in a long time.

I have also gotten a lot of enjoyment developing and working on this class web site. If possible, with your help, I'd like to find and account for each member of our class. Our class is representative of the history of the second half of the 20th century and into the first half of the 21st century. As a group, I'm sure that we've experienced the highs and the lows of that timeframe. The web site is an attempt to capture some of the history of our times and lives. I want you to know that I really appreciate everyone's help and participation in this project.

Here's a suggestion. Let's plan another reunion in 2010. Why wait for 10 years? Perhaps we could make it last a little longer. The five hours seemed to flash by all too quickly.

03 September 2005 - Peggy Herman Rice
Sorry to have missed seeing everyone at the reunion. I had family obligations that prevented me from getting away. I am still living on an island and working at an elementary school. I love to watch baseball on satellite tv, collect vintage eyewear,have sure slowed down a lot in the past couple years. God bless you all. What wonderful memories of growing up in Sebastopol. Would love to hear from classmates. Peggy

Hello Everyone,
I read the comments page for the first time today. What a wonderful idea. We have our first granddaughter! Born April 1, 2003. I cannot believe how the time flies with her around. Fortunately for us, Natasha lives in Forestville and we in Santa Rosa so we get to see her often.
Have a wonderful holiday and hope to see everyone at our reunion.

News from the Castleberry family. We had a new grandson! Our son, Lou, and his wife had a big baby boy, 8lbs. 5oz., yesterday. They named him Lucas Daniel. The only boy in the next Castleberry generation! Chip already brought him a football to the hospital. Does that mean he'll have to coach as Analy for 18 more years?? Yikes!

Our daughter, Crystal, got engaged over the Thanksgiving holiday. She is stationed in Ohio with the Air Force and came home for a week at Thanksgiving. Brought her boyfriend home for the holidays--we've met him several times before. He asked the "old Fashioned" way--asked her dad first. Of course we were delighted. The wedding is planned for August. This is the second marriage in our family. Son Justin married October 2003.

We have been lucky in weathering two hurricanes (Charley and Frances) in the last month. However, those around us in other parts of the state have not been so lucky. The devastation is vast but the people, local and from all across the country, are working together to recover from the storms. We have another hurricane (Ivan) on the way that will make landfall in Western Florida. I encourage you to donate money to the Red Cross and earmark it for Florida Hurricanes. They have been doing an incredible job here.  The interesting thing about these storms, once they are over, is the incredible power they possess and unleash. Awe inspiring and humbling.

Enrico Togneri passed away earlier this month from a heart attack. There was a very nice write-up in Friday's Press Democrat that referred to him coming to the U.S. when he was 12. How well I remember those days when there were only 15 people in our class, and Rico was the new one. Rico become renowned as an expert on DNA testing and crime lab procedures and consulted worldwide. Who would have thought that a little kid from Italy with no English whatsoever would rise to such levels. (Visit Enrico's memorial page)

My dad passed away around midnight today in Houston. He went in his sleep after battling pancreatic cancer the last 6 weeks. My mom is doing pretty well under the circumstances, and I'm sure a great burden was lifted from her shoulders.

Dave passed away Wednesday, 9 April 2003. He had been feeling ill for the last few weeks and the doctors were doing tests to try to find out what was wrong. Dave's son called him last Wednesday and Dave said that he was having trouble breathing. By the time his son got to his house, Dave had died. At this point, no one seems to know exactly what was wrong. (Thanks to Alan Fassio for this information.)

Charles Schulz Philosophy
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is this: none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name three people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of three people with whom you enjoy spending time.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier? The lesson is this:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.

I want to thank Charlie for his kind words of condolence on the passing of my father. We of the Class of 1965 are of an age now in which losing friends and family is too common an occurrence. Thanks to Charlie and everyone for promoting this fine site.

One of our classmates, Christie Wilson, who is Christie Martignoli, lost her husband to cancer last Saturday. I have been close friends with Christie since our Senior year. It was devastating. The funeral was Thursday.

28 January 2003 How did we survive - Lani Halsey

If you lived as a child in the 40's, 50's, 60's or 70's how did you
survive? Looking back, it's hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special
treat. Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. Not to mention hitchhiking to town as a young kid!

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors! We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode
down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into
the bushes a few times we learned to solve the problem. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were
back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable.

We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We got cut and broke bones and broke teeth, and there were no law suits
from these accidents.They were accidents. No one was to blame, but us. Remember accidents? We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda, but we were
never overweight... we were always outside playing. We shared one grape soda with four friends, from one bottle and no one died from this.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, video games at all,
99 channels on cable,video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell
phones, Personal Computers, Internet chat rooms ... we had friends. We
went outside and found them. We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rung the bell or just walked in and talked to them. Imagine such a thing. Without asking a parent! By ourselves! Out there
in the cold cruel world! Without a guardian. How did we do it?

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever. Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't, had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students weren't as smart as others so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grad e. Horrors. Tests were not adjusted for any reason.

Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. No one to hide behind. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was
unheard of. They actually sided with the law, imagine that!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem
solvers and inventors ever. The past 50 years has been an explosion of
innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and
responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them.

Congratulations!

The most recent story regarding renewing old friendships is...
My wife, Pam, was a host parent for Jason Lane when he was playing minor league ball in Battle Creek. Pam and I met and spent time between Battle Creek and Sacramento. While visiting me last year, we went to a Sacramento Rivercats game to see Jason and several other players. When we met Jason's mom and dad (Pam Miller Lane and Glen Lane), we were all dumbfounded that we had changed so much. We didn't recognize each other as high school classmates. What a small world!

Ray Spillers, Jon Spillers father, died recently. Condolences go out to Jon Spillers and his family.

15 January 2003 - Dennis Farmer

Everyone has been guilty of looking at another's age and thinking, "Surely I cannot look that old." I'm sure you've done the same. If so, you may enjoy this short story.

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered that a tall boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40 years ago. Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been my classmate. After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school.

"Yes," he replied.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1965"
"Why, you were in my class!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely and then asked, "What did you teach?"
