Mr. Potato forgot an important piece of equipment.

Jerry Lombardo '59 took the time to check in and tell me he enjoys these Fry Day missives. It took me back to the time a friend said, "Did you know Brigitte Bardot had a brother?"  "No, I didn't," was my response, "what was his name?"  "GuyLom," she said.  (Sound it out and think of the New Year's Eve countdowns of our youth)

My classmate Christine Loss is fine.  I just wanted you to see the picture I keep under my pillow.  In the Small World Department, Chris has been a Still Photographer in Hollywood all these years and, in fact, made the shots of John Belushi and Stephen Bishop featured on my web page. She says everyone was surprised when Belushi picked up Stephen's guitar and smashed it.  It was not in the script.  The Stephen Bishop update below will refresh your memory.

Sharon Whitley shares a photo of her and Stephen Bishop at their 10-Year Reunion.  I've added a copy of the story she wrote for the San Diego Union as well as a Neil Morgan snippet that captured Stephen's "relationship" with Horace Mann VP Bill Fansler. (He was COACH Fansler when I was there).  Grab a bag of peanuts and click HERE.  It's a lengthy read.

  

David Kahn shares a snapshot of the folks at his 8th birthday party on Hamilton Street.  Can you pick out the Harris Triplets?  Click HERE for an enlargement with all the kiddies' names.

1971 classmates Susan McCasland Wilkerson and Mary Ellen Whelan Clark pose for a picture at Playa Amor, near Leucate Plage.  Susan and her husband are visiting Mary Ellen at her summer home in France.  Click HERE for a larger picture.

Here's an undated, but pretty recent aerial of San Diego.  Click HERE to see the Big Picture and hear what I have to say about Park Boulevard.
