Wikipedia says the San Diego International Airport moved to its current location from the above site on Pacific Highway in 1967. It also says it was formerly known as Lindbergh Field. It still says Lindbergh Field if you want to look up flight information. Click HERE if you'd like to read a lot more about it.

I was surprised to learn that the Yellow on Black California license plates existed only from 1963 to 1969, followed by Yellow on Blue. A couple of classmates recalled going with Mom to get new plates -- at the Bank of America on University! Click HERE if you'd like to read the complete history of license plates in California.
Members of the Class of ’69 Carol Reardon Grant and Sharon Whitley Larsen celebrated at the RITZ (Rendezvous In the Zoo) fundraising gala last Saturday evening. Carol's on the committee. Friends since 7th grade at Lewis Junior High, Carol and Sharon were on the Pacerettes Drill Team and are looking forward to the 50th reunion August 17th at the Bali Hai. Says Sharon, “It's always fun to see Joan Embery '67 at the RITZ event, entertaining and educating party-goers about various animals as she did with Johnny Carson on his popular TV show”.

Beverley Pope Wagner ’64 passed away from incurable cancer on February 8, 2019. She was born on August 20, 1946. She leaves three wonderful daughters, and her loving husband Mike Wagner. I always enjoyed getting a Happy Birthday call from Bev. My sister had more friends then anyone I ever knew. Bev’s daughters loved her dearly also. They will all miss Beverley. Bev especially enjoyed Mike. They were married in 2006. Every picture with Bev and Mike had them both smiling. Bev went to Pasadena College (now Point Loma College). She also went to Moody Bible Institute and Mesa College -- Rolfe Pope ’62
