Greetings FUHS classmates!
While I suspect that few, if any, of you, will remember me, I wanted to at least make contact and offer my comments after accidentally stumbling upon the Class of '64 site yesterday. I enjoyed reading about the reunions and the email comments from everybody. I have to admit, however, that I did not recognize all of the names.
I was saddened to learn that many of our classmates are no longer with us. The two individuals with whom I was most familiar were David Johnston and Pat Kraska. Although David and I weren't really friends, he was always nice to me. I remember him as being an excellent athlete and almost always wearing a smile on his face.
Regarding Pat Kraska: about 10 years ago I paid a visit to Fallbrook for purely nostalgic purposes. I was surprised to learn that my former neighbors, the Petersons, still lived in the same house up on Alvarado Street. To make a long story short, I ended up having a nice conversation with Eric Peterson. Eric told me about several people, including Milton Davies, who, at that time, was the Captain of the Fallbrook Fire Department. After leaving Eric's house, I drove straight to the firehouse and had a chat with Milton. During our conversation, I asked him about Pat Kraska. He said, "Oh, you mean Pud?" He then told me that Pat was living on the streets in Fallbrook. I have a story about Pat and what actually happened to him in 1962 and will recount it in my comments to Jack's tribute on the memories page.
You won't find any mention of me or my photo in the 1964 yearbook. Shortly before my sophomore year, my step-father received orders for Hawaii. We were scheduled to leave in October, but the departure date kept getting pushed forward. And then the orders were abruptly cancelled. Consequently, I didn't do a lick of work the first semester of that year and lost a bunch of credits. I did not know that I was short a few credits for graduation until the beginning of my senior year. So, upon completion of the summer class I attended in June and July, I was unceremoniously handed my diploma by a clerk in the administration building.
I went from high school directly into the United States Air Force. After being discharged, I spent a little over six years in radio broadcasting. Bored with that, I went back to school and eventually broke into the music business, from which I still earn a very good living. I recently published my first novel, Pinch Hitter, and am currently working on my second book.
I'm sorry to say that I haven't maintained contact with my old friends from Fallbrook. I did see David Riddle several times after he left the Air Force, but haven't spoken to him in over 11 or 12 years. I saw my old friend Billy Allen when I was in Fallbrook 10 years ago and spoke to his brother, James, while I was at his house. And, last year, I had a phone conversation with another former neighbor, Richard Damron.
I'd love to hear from anyone who still remembers me.

Hey Jack........... Just caught the cbs morning show this am and they are featuring all this week daily prom nights from the past from all their cast members.........
Which made me stop and think as to if it would be possible for you to do a posting for our class for any past proms pics and/or videos from any of our years in high school............???? Think it would be fun....And even use them next yr. for the reunion....Like put a montage together for viewing one evening............. Just a thought...........Check out on the cbs morning show website. .Let me know what you think??

Hi Everyone
I thought of all of you during the whole weekend and am really thinking about trying to make the Christmas party at Kermits!! That is a time inbetween ranch goingson - so if I can find someone to feed the sheep and cows during that time I could possibley be there. Yeah! Great fun to think about!
I have attached a couple of pictures I took today....One of the stacked hay for this winters feed and the other of my working dog McDuff and me on the 4wheeler. (we had just gone to the mailbox and back)_ We get mail here 3 times a week so mail day is kind of a big deal. I set the camera on the fence post and did a time delay and whala there we are. Behind me is the 'heated' shop, the back of my old pick-up carrying a firefighting outfit (that I pray not ever have to use). I do miss alot about CA but I am blessed to be here!! Love ya all CarolynWojcikSchroeder (Wildflower) Oh and a picture of my 100year old house.

To all,
There was a grand reunion in Fallbrook last weekend for graduates of Fallbrook High School. I was unable to attend because I was on top of the Continental Divide in Colorado backpacking with my two sons Grant and Glenn and their two friends (making four antelopes and one old goat). There was a peak that I wanted to make being that I'm 60, it is Mt. Hope. When I thought I had the summit in my grasp I found that I had just covered the last rise before the true top. My knee was talking very loudly to me, and so had to stop with just 200 vertical feet (of rocky terrain) to go. So I named the little peak, "Close Hope" and considering that it was at 12,600 feet maybe that's not too bad for a bald fat guy.
Hugs to all,
Gary
There is a gallery of Gary's images. ... Just click on the picture of the tuckered out Gary on the right. — Jack

I added a couple things for your enjoyment, click on the following links and close your eyes and take yourself back in time . The recomended order is to click on the little play button in this page, and then click on the link to Laries Photos. That way you will be able to hear the song while you are looking at the pictures. ... — Jack
Play here, requires Quicktime.

I find this article very interesting for a couple reasons.
The main reason is that it opens a new conversation with ourselves and our place
in the world. I am an omnivore, but I am also a "Pinnacle-ist." I believe that
every single thing that exists today, animals, plants, or even planets and suns,
are the pinnacle of their own evoloutionary ladder. To me, that is a very leveling
thought, and the very reason I hate people cutting down trees as much as I hate
people putting dogs to sleep unnecessarily. That is the same reason I eat a plant
as I eat an animal, with respect, and when the time comes, so may I be eaten.
John Pickrell in England

A new report argues that chimpanzees are so closely related to humans that they should be included in our branch of the tree of life. Chimpanzees and other apes have historically been separated from humans in classification schemes, with humans deemed the only living members of the hominid family of species.
Now, biologists at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, provide new genetic evidence that lineages of chimps (currently Pan troglodytes) and humans (Homo sapiens) diverged so recently that chimps should be reclassed as Homo troglodytes. The move would make chimps full members of our genus Homo, along with Neandertals, and all other human-like fossil species. "We humans appear as only slightly remodeled chimpanzee-like apes," says the study.
I do find the last paragraph a little political talk, because he concludes that we lose a tool and I only see the tool as being reshaped to be a better and more accurate tool.
Fossil human-like species are currently divided into at least three genera. Grouping them all in the genus Homo could be very confusing, Wood said. Classification schemes "should be the signposts for differences between organisms," said Wood. "The problem is, if you call the chimp Homo troglodytes, you deny yourself that tool to help guide you though the tree of life."

Following are the first three paragraphs of US President George W Bush's address to the nation late May 1, 2003, from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln nuclear aircraft carrier. You can read the entire text by clicking on the link at the botom of the three paragraphs.
Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country.
In this battle, we have fought for the cause of liberty, and for the peace of the world. Our Nation and our coalition are proud of this accomplishment.
Yet it is you, the members of the United States military, who achieved it. Your courage, your willingness to face danger for your country and for each other made this day possible. Because of you, our nation is more secure. Because of you, the tyrant has fallen, and Iraq is free.

I posted this to our website because I was asked to post it by a member of our class, and because there are honest, patriotic, intents in this speech. We are members of a country that has many points of view and members of both sides of any argument in our country accuse the other side of being closed minded. As you read this speech, believe what you will, and respond if you wish. For myself, I will say that I think Tim is making many mistakes, but he is making them for honest reasons.
I only wish that Tim could see that the mistakes he believes are being made by our representatives in government are also being made by honest people with honorable intentions. Intentions and directions I happen to agree with.
Transcript of the speech given by actor Tim Robbins to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on April 15, 2003.

Thank you. And thanks for the invitation. I had originally been asked here to talk about the war and our current political situation, but I have instead chosen to hijack this opportunity and talk about baseball and show business. Just kidding. Sort of.

Sherri Lenfers works here and you can say hello whenever you visit. It is a nice place. This is the review from the San Diego Reader. ... UPDATE! I went there yesterday with a friend, Albert. He is certainly a funny guy. ... Anyway, Sherri was there and she looked just like this picture, only with a little larger smile on her face. ... Sherri reminded me that "Memorial Day" is just around the corner. Is anyone else wanting to get together for Memorial Day? I do. P.S. This is what Memorial Day brought to mind last year -> Last Memorial Day
The Wayside Cafe
507 South Main Avenue, Fallbrook, 760-723-9633. Locals love meeting and eating in this long low-porched building -- partly because it all just feels small-town America. The place used to be Mahrs' Service Station. You can even sit in the old Lube Bay to eat. Count on generous servings, especially the mountain-piles of red-skinned home-fries as a side at breakfast. Open for breakfast and lunch six days a week; closed Mondays. Inexpensive. -- E.B. (12/01)

FALLBROOK ? Layoff notices have been rescinded for 10 teachers in the elementary school district, thanks to teachers who decided to retire early.
"The number of senior teachers accepting the early retirement offer is really easing the pressure on staffing," Superintendent James M. Choate said. "I was pleased to rescind the notice of reduction to our probationary teachers. I think I am really pleased that some really strong young teachers will be working with us for a long, long time."
