PHOTOGRAPHS OF VHS 60-YEAR REUNION HAVE BEEN POSTED!

Sunday,  June  30,  2024

ZIO FRAEDO'S RESTAURANT; 23 HARBOR WAY, VALLEJO  

Our 60-Year VHS Class of 1957 reunion was held on Saturday, September 16, 2017 in Vallejo at Zio Fraedo's Restaurant at 23 Harbor Way.

The reunion was attended by about 90 VHS Class of '57 classmates and guests who enjoyed recalling their high school days in the 1950s.

A delicious buffet dinner was served. The reunion committee, consisting of Gail Speckel (Barker), Anna Emge (Scopesi), Ron Smith, Sharon Rimestad (Ketelsen), Jeanne Vanecek (Miller), Bill Hopkins, Deanne Moler (Kulmus), and Bruce Christensen were introduced and there were several door prizes awarded.

A short program was held after the dinner, with 1950s music provided by classmate Ron Smith.

Thanks to all who attended the 60-year reunion. We're looking forward to the year 2022 when we will gather to celebrate the VHS Class of 1957's 65-Year reunion.

Many photos of the 60-year event were taken during the celebration and can be viewed on the website at the link provided below. If you have additional photos of the reunion attendees that you would like to have posted, please email them to [email protected].

Thanks, Bruce Christensen

2019 VALLEJO HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI DAY CELEBRATION

Wednesday,  July  31,  2024  -  9:00 am

VALLEJO HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS  

NO COST  

Just a quick report to provide the results of the roll-call count at the April 26, 2019 Vallejo High School Alumni Day Celebration. The "upstart" VHS Class of 1964 actually tied the Class of 1957 Alumni attendees with eleven alumni in attendance from each class.

Registration started at 9 am in the school cafeteria where refreshments were served, hosted by the VHS Hospitality Academy under the direction of Camille Jefferson.

The program in the school auditorium commenced at 10 am with the Master of Ceremonies, Phil Saroyan, VHS Class of 1965 (VHS principal 1993-2009) leading the flag salute and the singing of 'God Bless America'. He next introduced the keynote speaker; President of the Vallejo City Unified School District; Bob Lawson, VHS Class of 1964.

During the program, entertainment was be provided by the VHS Band under the direction of Carmel Pajita, the VHS cheerleaders directed by Reyanna Stowes, and the VHS Choir led by Denise Hunter.

Bruce Christensen introduced the 2018 Apache Scholarship awardee, Emma Alexander, who reported on her first year attending Napa Valley College. She will continue her college education with the goal of working in law enforcement.

After the roll call of VHS classes competition, which the Class of '57 and Class of '64 tied, the program wrapped up with the Alumni singing the VHS alma mater accompanied by the VHS Band.

Afterward, in the school library, many alumni viewed the dozens of VHS historical memorabilia that were on display courtesy of the VHS Athletic Director, Josh Ramos.

Many photos were taken during the event and some are posted on the link below.....My apologies for those pictures that are 'blurry'; perhaps my camera is trying to call it quits. If any of you happen to have additional "non-blurry" photos, email them to [email protected] and they will be posted.

Today's Featured Biography

 

 
Clement Furlong


BA San Jose State College, 1963
PhD UC Davis, 1968
Postdoctoral Fellowship, Cornell Univ 68-70
Asst Prof, Biochemistry, UC Riverside 70-75
Assoc Prof 75-77
Res Assoc Prof Univ of WA 1977-1992
Res Prof 1992-present.

I've been working at the Univ. of WA since 1977. It is a fantastic place to do research. My research group is currently working in several different areas. We are looking at genetic variability of insecticide sensitivity that is related to variability of a plasma enzyme that is attached to HDL (the good cholesterol particle). The protein also plays a role in carotid artery disease and probably other genetic/environmental diseases. The second major area of research is the development of biosensor systems. These have applications in basic research as well as identifying agents of bio/chem terrorism. Publications related to this work can be found with a Google or pubmed search (www.pubmed.gov). Pdf files of many of the publications are avilable by email request ([email protected]). Some of our research activities are available on my departmental web site:
http://www.gs.washington.edu/faculty/furlong.htm

I find a bit of time to go salmon fishing near our home on Bainbridge Island.

We have had visits over the years from John Della Maggoria, Don Wouda, Ron Smith, Dick Siegler (some of our research overlaps), Ron and Karen Allen and John Chulick.

My research activities have provided many travel experiences.

Would love to hear from my classmates ([email protected])
