Anthony Joseph Price
08-16-1947-11-04-2008
Tony Price ended his battle with colon cancer in Bangkok, Thailand on November 4, 2008.
He was 61 years old.
Tony came to Fallbrook with his family in 1956 from Culver City. He attended all the Fallbrook grade schools and was a 1965 graduate of Fallbrook High. As a young man he worked in many of Fallbrook's landmark buildings; The Village Inn, The Valley Fort, The Frosty Freeze drive-in, Fallbrook Citrus and The Enterprise. He attended college at The University of Houston, trekked through the United States in the sixties and saw a lot of the world as a fisherman on a commercial tuna boat for a time.
Tony returned to Fallbrook to become a successful businessman/entrepreneur owning two restaurants; The Kitchen Cupboard and The Fallbrook Street Cafe. He started Fallbrook Tool Company in 1985 and since 1974 and until his death he owned and operated Price Brothers Concrete, Inc. He and his brother David worked together and were generous contributors to our town.
Tony's family loved him for his wit and wisdom and the support he gave his kids in whatever they did. We were all truly affected by his positive attitude and outlook on life even when it got really difficult for him. He never complained and never gave up hope. Everyone who knew Tony was touched by his enthusiasm, spirit, and love of life. He is missed on this earth.
He is survived by his wife Susan, daughters Tiffany, Michelle, Andralee, Hillary, and son Curtis. His mother May, brothers Mike, Steve, David and sister Margaret also survive him. As does his father-in-law Wallace Drew. In addition, Tony is survived by sisters-in-law Rose, Melanie, Gracie, Peggy, Teresa, brother-in-law Wally, son-in-law Jon Draves, granddaughter Natalie, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. His father, Curtis Price, preceded in him in death.
There will be a celebration of Tony's life at the Bonsall Property at 4719 South Mission Rd. on Saturday, November 22 at 12:00 noon. Join us for a Potluck/BYOB and listen to or share in a few stories about our beloved Tony.
In lieu of flowers, an account has been established at the First National Bank of Southern California in Fallbrook. (The Tony Price Memorial Fund)

Hello to all FUHS class of '65ers and other interested parties:
My wife, Joan, and I have been on the road again - this time to Boise, Idaho and surrounding areas. We had the great pleasure of 'breaking bread' with Carmen and Margaret (Knox) Poling and their family on the evening of June 5 at their home in Boise. As one of their 7 kids, Merritt, had graduated high school the day before, there were some other folks visiting as well - fellow FUHS grads Julie (Poling) Johnson, and her husband Bob Johnson - both class of '66. Carmen and Julie's Mother, aged 90, was there, too. So we had quite a large table to gather around.
We would surely welcome visits by any FUHS '65ers to San Diego - even if you just live a few miles away.
Cheers--Jim Price (and Joan)
P.S. to Margaret - please 'fill in' the names of your kids!

5 of the 7 Poling kids. Unfortunately I don't recall all the names - but Merritt, the HS grad (who's going to Washington & Lee) is back row center, and the 17-year old twins (youngest in the family) are front row right and back row right. Bronwen is front row left. |

Jim, Joan, Carol, and Lynn, ready for dinner. |
Hello (again) to the FUHS '65 group. I posted an e-mail on our list a month or so ago, mentioning that my wife, Joan, and I would be visiting Lynn Dold in Wichita, KS. Lynn was with 'us' for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades - and he was a very close friend of mine (see photo).
Well, we had a truly great visit - Lynn showed us around Wichita - where he had grown up, and where he wrote most of his books (do a Google on 'Gaylord Dold' and you'll be amazed). Then we met up with his friend Carol and the four of us had a very nice dinner in the Old Town section of Wichita (see photo).
Lynn and Carol then set us up for our itinerary the next day - to maximize our time in, and acquaintance with, the Flint Hills and what's left of open prairie in Kansas. Even though our touristing weather wasn't too good, we enjoyed the day nonetheless.
It's truly wonderful to have this network of FUHS '65 folks sprinkled around here and there!
Margaret and Carmen - you're next - we're coming to Boise in late May.
Cheers--Jim Price

Jim, Vickey and Ted |
I posted a note on this list about a month ago, mentioning that my wife, Joan, and I would be in Branson, MO in mid-April for a week. "Out of the blue," an e-mail came from Vicky (Hallstead) Strattard who said something like"Hey, my husband and I live in Branson, come visit." Vicky was in the FUHS class of '60, but she has some relatives who were in our class ('65). She lived in Fallbrook for over 50 years, and her hubby, Ted, retired from the Fallbrook Fire Dept. a while back. Perhaps some of you remember him as well.
Anywho, we visited Vicky and Ted at their lovely home on the south shore of Table Rock Lake, a few miles from Branson. A photo is attached of me, Vicky, and Ted in their living room. Ted also has a really 'hot' Ford pickup from the '50s!
Vicky, thanks to you and Ted for the hospitality, and it seems that any FUHS alumni who visit the Branson area would be welcome in their home.
Cheers--Jim Price

Oceanside Public Library

There are several people interested in the showing of this film on the 29th. I will be driving up to Oceanside tomorrow to scout out a good coffee shop, or restaurant near the Public Library, so that we can park our cars and meet before the film for a cup of coffee, or tea, and then walk to the Library together.
The film start time is 7PM. I will be at the location from 5:30, until we walk over. My cell phone number is 619 218 2929 if you get lost, or need last minute directions. This page will be updated tomorrow evening with the exact meeting location.
If there is any child of the Military that you would like me to research, let me know, and I will ask about them at the meeting afterwards. — Jack

Jack - can you get this on the FUHS '65 distro somehow? I assume this won't post directly. Thanks--Jim
All - here are some photos of our recent Grand Canyon adventure. It was worthwhile, but certainly not trivial! Cheers--Jim (and Joan

All - we did it! We made it down and up the Grand Canyon. We went

All - we did it! We made it down and up the Grand Canyon. We went
with a group who had signed up with the San Diego Natural History
Museum - 17 of us and 2 guides. We hiked down the South Kaibab trail
on May 1 (the 'A' pictures), we stayed at Phantom Ranch at the bottom
for two nights (the 'B' pictures), and then we hiked up the Bright
Angel Trail on May 3 (the 'C' pictures). It was a great experience,
but we had to work for it!
Cheers--Jim & Joan
To Dean, Kesler, Ann - if you know e-mail addresses for others in the
hiking group, feel free to forward this message and link.

Jim Price forwarded me this information about the recent snow on Palomar mountain. Of course everyone here knows that Alan and Diana have moved off Palomar mountain, to another mountain, the big island.
But Alan had some friends send him some images of the house they just moved from. ... The links under the image link to those images. ... — Jack

So, at first blush it sounds crazy. A Fallbrook High School reunion in Hawaii?
Well, Alan & Diana Serry own a lovely home on the north shore of the Big Island (a.k.a. Hawaii), and there's a couple of towns and a place to stay nearby. So, why not?
Joan and I recently visited the Big Island, and we made it a point to check out the north end of the island, known locally as Kohala because of the name given to the extinct volcano that formed this part of the island. It was, in fact, the first volcano on Hawaii. Alan & Diana's house is located in the small town of Kapa'au, about 2 miles east of Hawi (pronounced Hah-Vee). Hawi has several good and "funky" restaurants, and the local place to stay ... the Kohala Village Inn (www.kohalavillageinn.com). It's a decent, but not fancy, motel ... and would be a great place for us all to stay. The manager at the Inn told us that the owner of the Inn will soon be opening a B&B nearby as well, so that will increase the options.

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!
Joan and I are "playing tourist" out here for a few days.
Following excellent guidance from Alan and Diana Serry, we checked out the northern coast where they have suggested we have our 45th reunion in 2010. We looked at the hotel, the Kohala Village Inn, www.kohalavillageinn.com It will be fine - not fancy, but fine. We drove by Alan and Diana's house. Checked out the charming towns of Hawi and Kapa'au. This is a relatively unspoiled piece of Hawaii, but it's only an hour away from Kailua-Kona if some attendees have a "need" for fancier digs, nightlife, mega-shopping, etc.
So - should we decide on a date in 2010, get it on people's calendars, and start the process now? - Jim Price & Joan Sieber

George Ward sent this image from his 1964 collection of motorcycle gangs. ...
This is notorious gang from Fallbrook California. They were the heavy hitters of their era. ... I understand that most of them have grown up a little since this image was taken.

Well the reunion has come and gone. There are many stories of good feelings permeating the entire event like a fine bouquet emanating from a perfectly shaped glass filled with a rare and vintage wine. While these images cannot transmit the bouquet, they can give your eyes a semblance of the true treat everyone in attendance savored with all their senses.
Just click on the image to the right and enjoy the experiences of the weekend.

Reunion attendees, and other Classmates
Compiled by Jim Price
and Linda Lowe de Graaf
Photos scanned by
David Samuels
September 2005
In preparation for the 40th reunion of the Fallbrook High School class of '65, we heard from many class members - primarily via e-mail, and the excellent server set up by Jack Foster Mancilla (FUHS '64). And the whole business was hosted on Jack's server, and George Ward's server was the location for all the Reunion registration pages. Thanks immensely to Jack and George; this infrastructure allowed a deluge of discussion - memories of Fallbrook, memories of High School, networking with other class mates, former faculty, those who graduated in other years, and so on.
I've compiled here, and thanks to Linda (Lowe) deGraaf for the assistance on this, many of the tidbits we received from class members and kindred sprits during the past few months.David Samuels provided the then photos for all of us. For simplicity I've alphabetized the whole thing by last name during high school days.There's lots of material on some people, little on others. But we did hear from lots of people: and here's the scoop.

We have the start of an active discussion about some of what has transpired over the past 40 years. Old friends reconnecting with old friends, Memories of times relegated to the dusty attic of our minds eye, brought by the fullness of time into a ripe warm memory to be shared with others of like mind.
