I had to buy a combination lock box to store my pills in here at Wrinkle World. It was Made in China. I'm picturing someone at the factory saying, "No problem. My cousin speaks English. He can write out the instructions."
I came across this photo of the original Lindbergh Field terminal
on Pacific Highway. I've added it to the great 1958 photo of the
Peterson twins getting off a United Airlines DC-6 in 1958. Click

and enjoy.
Some folks from '68 got together for dinner at 333 Pacific in
Oceanside. Click HERE for
the names and a larger picture. Two of the men standing in the
photo above took rifles to school at Horace Mann on a regular
basis. See next item.

Does anyone remember Mr. Cottam from Montezuma Elementary. He

Don Fry ’63 passed away April 23, 2025. He was
79, and was waiting for a heart valve replacement. He had a
Bachelors Degree from SDSU, and a Masters in City Planning from
Fresno State. He became planning director for four counties in
the Sierra Foothills in 1975 and moved to Arnold, California that
year. In 1980, he opened Don Fry Realty with his wife Beverly,
which they ran for 31 years. He later continued his career with
Century 21 and ultimately with RE/MAX Gold. Don was a pillar of
local real estate for over 45 years, known for his integrity,
generosity, and unwavering commitment to the people he served. He
also served on the Board of Realtors for over a dozen years,
shaping the local industry and mentoring countless new agents. Don
was fully involved with life in Arnold, yet still loved to return
to San Diego for Crawford reunion activities. Don had a deep love
for life and community. He was a fixture on Monday nights at the
bocce ball courts, where he played with joy and camaraderie. He
also had a passion for singing, which brought light and laughter
to many gatherings over the years. Don is survived by, among
others, his brother Mike Fry ’60 and sister Wendy Fry Brown ’69.
My sister Nancy Kiley ’70 died May 28 just a few
weeks after being diagnosed with spinal cancer. She was diagnosed
with Parkinson’s Disease in 2015 and, through it all, maintained a
happy, positive outlook. She had a BS in Information Technology
and a long career in accounting. One of her last lucid moments was
cheering on the Padres from her hospice facility. We will miss
her smiling face and sense of humor — Dave Kiley ‘72
