Kevin Carruth '65 noted my authorship of a book on the USS Saratoga (CV-3) and sent me three postal covers from his late father's collection.  I've put them on the web and added some information.  Click HERE to check them out.  Kevin is looking for a happy home for his collection.  Let me know if you're interested.


The Class of '72 will celebrate its 50-year reunion on Saturday, October 8th, from 6-10 PM with a dinner buffet and a no-host bar at the Treetop Room OF THE SAN DIEGO ZOO.  How cool is that?  Additional details are on the Reunions Page.




Remember when Vladimir Putin and George Bush got together on stage at Crawford High?  Me neither.  Probably because it took place at the Crawford High in Crawford, Texas.  Thanks to George Sorensen for finding this fact.  The event took place November 15, 2001.  



I think I typed 60 words per minute in Mrs. Alexander's class.  Cheryl Creel typed 97 words per minute to take the crown as the best high school typist in California.  That and more in the April 21, 1972 Pacer.   Click HERE to check it out.
