"Mi casa es su casa"
There were approximately 560 of us who graduated in 1960. Scores of others were a part of the class but either graduated elsewhere, graduated later, or didn't graduate. But, once a member of this class, always a member of this class. This web site is dedicated to all of those who were a part of the class for any length of time.
Take a look, we have more than 200 classmates listed in the e-mail directory. You may be able to contact some friends that you have lost touch with over the years.
If your e-mail address has changed or if you are not yet listed on the e-mail directory page, you can be added if you send me an e-mail.
"I have changed my email to janelax@icloud.com. Hope you and yours are all doing well. My husband is now 93 and very frail, but we are coping well in the quiet -- meant positively-- town of Moenchengladbach, Germany. All the best for 2018.
She might enjoy receiving a Christmas e-mail form you.
I had a note on Facebook from Rosemary Mata Campbell today. She gave me her e-mail address and I added it to our e-mail directory.
These are the portraits from our 55th class reunion. (Yes I know that was almost two years ago. I intended to make this video right after the reunion. Yesterday I finally got around to doing it). Better late than never.
Esther Bustamante Jacobson gave me a box of memorabilia at the reunion from her school days. It includes copies of almost all the Cactus Chronicles as well as the Quarterly magazines. Also a few photos. She saved everything during her four years as a student. So my plan is to go through each document and scan anything that is about somebody from our class. The nice thing about scanning is that I can clean up and restore the photos and articles so they look like new. I will post the scans on the web site as I do them and as I can get to them. I will also send a copy to the person or persons if I have contact information.
In 1960 our foreign exchange student was Michele Dumonteil from France. After graduation she returned to France and we had no contact until 2009 when I found that she had registered on classmates.com. I sent her an e-mail and she replied.
Earlier this month Patricia and I went to France and we spent a week with Michele and her husband Olivier. They played tourist guide and we spent the week touring, eating, and drinking good French wine. Since they live near the border with Switzerland, we drove to Geneva for the day.

For those of you who don't live in Tucson these days, here are two short videos that I made while there last week for the reunion planning meeting.

T
he movies in the late 1950s. We went to drive-ins a lot. We didn't really care what was playing, did we?
We went for the popcorn.
Yeah, right! But there were some very good movies made in those years. Do you remember? You do? Which movie won the academy award in 1960? Can't remember?
What about music? Which songs won Grammy Awards in 1960?
The answers are on the page we call Do You Remember, (about half-way down the page).

Did you loose your THS diploma? Would you like a replacement? (I sent an e-mail to each of the officials listed on the diploma but none of them responded, so I assume it is OK to make replacements.)
If you would like one made for you, I'll be happy to do it. All you have to do is send me an e-mail with your name as you would like it printed on your diploma and your mailing address.
