Happy First Day of Summer!! This always sounded wonderful in my youth. Now I'm just depressed that the days will be getting shorter.
Speaking of depressed, a whole lot of folks are getting bounce messages when they try to email me. Despite the messages, I AM getting your emails (I think). I'm not sure how to solve this one. I'll check with my web mistress. Just one more aggravating technology issue.

Robert Zito '64 fondly recalls stopping at Don's Hamburgers after surfing, when you could get 10 hamburgers or 10 hot dogs for $1.00. I wondered if he might have been thinking about Henry's Burgers in PB. Turns out he was. I get an awful lot of calls from people wanting a photo of Henry's too. That's two burger joints I don't have pictures of. Who knows, maybe something will turn up.
I think I'm late in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the graduation ceremony for the Class of 1968.

I wonder if they're sitting right where the basketball court is at today's Viejas Arena.
Debra Mathis '70 died on March 11th, according to her brother Ed Mathis '66. He says, "After graduation Debbie moved to Atlanta, Georgia to be near the hub of our family. She was never married. She worked a variety of jobs, but her real passion was cake decorating and her dogs. She moved to South Carolina later in life to take care of our ill Mother and Aunt."
