70 Year Reunion Announcement!
A POSSIBLE REUNION IN 2026, YES!!!!
South High School's 100th anniversary celebration
Aloha Classmates:
I ;have received word that SHAFI and the high school itself are thinking about celebrating South's openeing in 1926. Imagine, 100 years. Hard to believe. What a wonderful time to get our class together to celebrate its 70th anniversary. There must surely we can some way piggyback our reunion to the one that is being planned for the school. I have heard from a number of you who live at a distance that are willing to travel to a reunion. Who I have not heard from is anyone living in the greater Denver area, either to attend or more importantly help in any small way. I am going to get in touch with Francis Tafoya who does the FaceBook page for SHAFI, she has good contacts with the reunions scheduled at South. If there is anyone out there who is interested in attending or helping in a small way with a reunion next year please email me, cut and paste my address into your own email program. [email protected] Hope to see you at South in 2026.
Aloha Classmates:
I've received this interesting suggestion from Glenn Ward, of Highland Ranch, CO, in regards to a possible reunion site for next year. Glenn and I would like to hear from all of you in regards to a possible reunion and if this site is of interest to you. Please either email me at [email protected] or contact Glenn. You can also use the Class News chat box below this reunion box on the class website to respond.
From Glenn:
Highlands Ranch Metro District (Colorado) is building a very nice Senior Center which is scheduled for an opening in October 2024.
The Senior Center Newsletter has offered rooms for rental. Which might provide a site for an attempt at a one day gathering for 2025......I have received information about the use of this facility and after a quick look it appears that it would serve the purpose of a short one-day gathering. Do you think an inquiry on the web site could be made as to whether there would be any interest in gathering at this location in September of 2025 realizing that this is a year early, but time waits for no one.
Glenn points out that this website gets at least 30 "hits" a day!!! I know that there have been more than 28,000 hits since I last counted and I know that there are not that many of us alive but to hear from you are that are visiting this website please do check in with an email to me. I do try to respond in a reasonable time. Yes, I am alive, kicking and still at the computer most days.
3/5/2024 apologies for being late.
Between having Covid at Christmas, which took my soulmate of 64 years, and minor annoying computer problems...... I think I am back on track of some kind. A bit of a backlog to catch up on

After high school (one week) I entered the Navy with classmates Bob Speicher and Arnold Stackelbeck, stayed on active duty in the far east until 1960; returned to Denver, worked at Graham Paper Co., Western Electric, Color-Wrap of Colo., married in 1963, divorced in 1964, first child was born in 1965 after divorce; moved to Michigan in 1965 (Detroit suburbs) worked for Zantop Air Transport, AT&T Long Lines (remained with various Bell System Companies until 1993); married second time 1967 (met my wife via computer dating--a new thing back then), two adopted children from marriage, promoted and moved to New Jersey in 1978. Retired in 1993, moved to Sedona AZ until both my wife and I got cancer, I had a heart attack and decided to move back east to be closer to our daughter and our two granddaughters in 2000. I never did go to college but went to a number of higher learning schools to advance myself with the Bell System. My hobbies are exercising, oil painting, and astronomy. My wife makes jewelry. My health has gone downhill in 2020. Besides heart problems I now have colon cancer and am in chemo therapy. My wife health is less than average. My sister who graduated from South in 1941 passed away in Denver at age 95. Also lost a newphew to pancreatic cancer. Now only myself and a nephew are left. The rest of the family has passed. This year we made a life changing move. We have moved from PA to UT into a Independent Living facility.
Our house owning days are over. ( that above turned out to be a lie. We have moved to Arizona and bought a 5 bedroom house which we share with our daughter and granddaughter). We have moved out of snow country into a very warm climate.
We have one 12 year old grandson in Las Vegas. Maybe he will graduate from high school in 5 years since our granddaughters did not.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
