Hi Michelle, well? Is this runto's name pronounced "runt o" or is it "run to" or perhaps "R unto"? And is PB Pismo Beach or Palupe Bahrunda? I just don't know?

Well, Alan...I'm still trying to get over being called "low-hanging fruit". Kinda sounds a little over-ripe to me. yuck. Runto (or whatever is was that your MOTHER named you) of course there are weary Dads out there, you have your OWN day, so just chill. I'm waiting to hear what JB will come up with for the Fathers.

Not on Friday nite, i play softball then!! Hope all is well with everyone. Jeff, great stuff about MOM's day!! My mom died a few years after Graduation, so all you guys who still have your MOM around, call her tomorrow or tonight even, and tell her that you love her, again!! Not just once a year. I wish i had the chance to do that just one more time.

What we need is some controversy or conflict. The brief flurry we had a little while ago arose out of a conflict. Or maybe something steamy. Does anybody want to reveal a dark, deep secret about something that has happened in the last 25 years? I have some things, but as the manager of this site, I don't want to monopolize things.

Alan- There are some who are just not going to answer, and I'm sure they have their reasons- it's probably best to move along & try different names as they become available. As far as listing their email addresses, if they're listed on Classmates.com by request, then they're free game to be listed here. I've gotten no response from a few of the same names on your list, no matter how benign the message I sent. That's one reason I pick on 'THE Committee' so much- I've gotten no responses at all from a couple of them- like their names are on the site so their work's done. At the heart of it all, we're basically dealing with the same temperaments and personalities- only with 25 years of 'seasoning'.You've just got to play the hand as it's dealt, I guess.

Susanne, we're still getting a trickle of people signing into the directory, but the pace has definitely slowed. We've probably gotten the low hanging fruit. I think it's going to take some work to get some of our classmates onto the list.

Here's a question though: I've got the e-mail addresses of the following people: Jane French, Tim Anderson, Rosemary Schott, Melissa Lagomarsino, Conan Nolan, Marc Thomas, Jim Rizzoli, and Romney Kernek. I found them at various places on the Internet. I've e-mailed them a number of times asking if they wanted to be listed in the directory, but have gotten no response. Either they don't want to be listed, or they don't check their e-mail. Ironically, I found some of the names on a high school alumni site, where they took the effort to sign up, ostensibly to get in contact with other alumni. (By the way, the following names are listed as SLOSH 1975 alumni, but I couldn't find them in the yearbook: Runto Ayres, Mark Foley, and Michael Jameson. Does anybody know them?) The question is, should I list the names and e-mail addresses of the people that I found on the Internet, even though I didn't get their permission to do so?

Wow, Jeff--that was very nice. My heart (as a mother) was warmed by your message. Did you say you were thinking of a second career with Hallmark? No, we mothers wish to believe you are too sincere for that. Yes, parenting is not for the faint-of-heart. First there is all that close contact with bodily fluids, then when those babies grow up and go out into the world, our hearts can be broken again and again. No other experience demands so much or gives so much. It is an awesome privilege to be so important to someone! However, all of our kids need more "parenting" than we can provide. Your nephews are very fortunate to have you in their lives; you play such an important role. I appreciate my brothers-in-law even more when I see them with my kids. So, since there isn't yet an Uncles Day, thank-you Jeff, from all the weary moms out there.

A sincere and heartfelt Happy Mother's Day to each and every Mother in the Class of '75. My life, so far, has not included any children of my own, and I may not ever truly realize and fully appreciate the amount of selfless dedication and devotion that comes with being a parent. My brother's two knucklehead sons (7 and 10) afford me only a vicarious fraction of the the emotions and rewards of parenthood. But they're the two brightest lights of my life at this point, and through them, I'm getting a real time education in just how challenging, yet fulfilling , parenthood can be. You deserve to be honored all year, not just a single Sunday. Have a great one!

I'm glad that people are liking this Website and the message area. One problem is that the messages come intermittently. It can be frustrating having to come back to the site to see if anybody has said anything, only to find that they haven't. I have a suggestion: Let's have a designated message time each week where everyone can get together at once and have a crude "chat" session. People could leave messages and respond to what others are saying. The advantage is that you could get messages and responses quickly. And if you can't make it to the session, you'll know that there will be a lot of messages available to be read the next day. You might recall that Jeff Bringle suggested doing something similar during the Reunion itself for those of you who couldn't make it, so this could be a test run.

If you're interested in trying this, let's do the following: Let's have the first session on Wednesday, May 17, from 7-8 PM PST (you can stay for as much or as little of the session as you want). When you get to the Message area, leave a message that you're there, and somebody lead off with a topic, question, or whatever. By going back and forth between reading and posting, and by hitting the Reload or Refresh button on your browser, you can read the messages as they're posted.

If anyone wants to suggest a different day and/or time, please feel free to do so. Please note that you can still post at any time before or after the "chat" session. There's still the question of the week, for example. Leave a message here if you want to participate on Wednesday so we can see if there's any interest.

Mary's question about doing things we thought we never would brought back a rather disturbing memory I thought I would share. My husband and I drove to Texas to pick up my niece (then age 14) from her father's house. I was sitting on the sofa when she walks in the front door. She sees me and says, "grandma". Then she realized who I was. Now I love my mother. I admire my mother. I think she has been a wonderful mother. But I don't want to look like my mother! (sigh) Oh well, it could be worse.

Matt, I don't want to post Ruth's e-mail address on this site without her permission. However, I did find a website where you can get her address and see her picture. It's public information, so I have no problem posting the Website address below:

http://www.hku.hk/nursing/taylor_piliae_ruth.html

I'm fascinated by the fact that she is a faculty member at the University of Hong Kong. Every summer since 1995, I've been taking a group of students from the University of San Diego to Hong Kong to study the local business environment. We've been staying at the University of Hong Kong and using their facilities. Who knows--we may have crossed paths some time without recognizing each other.

Mary- if you look closely at the Reunion Registration Form, you can see just how hard said committee is "working". They're stuck trying to decide which to set first: the RSVP date or how much to charge. The number of attendees will determine the cost, but they can't get a grip on what to charge until they know how many people are coming. The kicker is that no one can/ will confirm that they're coming until they know how much it's going to cost. Go Tigers! Stay tuned............... Carol & Matt- if you read that last message I left, you can see that it's not much more than an exercise in how to fill a Blue Book at Cow Poly. The secret is consonants and syllables.

A search of the Internet shows that she is the co-author of the following article: Molassiotis, A. , Holroyd, E., & Taylor-Piliae, R. (1999).

Carol, this class was always ripe for a psychological dissection. Can you feel already how our petty little insecurities are manifesting themselves as we get older? Some of 'us' have joined the ranks of the "clenched", while it seems that the rest of us have been able to retain a more grounded sense of who we used to be before we undertook this unavoidable "long, strange trip" we're on. Some of us can live with the term 'spontaneity', some of us are nothing more than societal 'Droids obediently trudging the lemming's march in the more 'accepted paths' we've grown up believing are the only ways to attain happiness and fulfillment in this transitory life. I thank God daily that there are more of us than them. And I hope none of us ever loses sight of all the intangibles of life that we learned alongside each other all those days ago. Damn,and to think my teachers always used to say they couldn't get a word out of me.......

I went all out with the corsage & dinner at 1865(even waxed the Chevy!) and when we got to Chumash Hall, she disappeared! I was such a fool, I stayed at the dance waiting for her. She finally came out of nowhere around midnight & said she had a headache(!) & needed to get home right away!

Since there aren't many takers on the most embarrasing moment question, perhaps it should be re-worded. How about the funniest moment that you witnessed? One of mine was the time that a bunch of us stole Bruce Hensel's clothes and all wore them to school the next day. Every time he went to a different class, he would run into someone else that was wearing one of his garments. He was a little slow to catch on. When he finally realized that you were wearing his clothes, he let out the funniest wheeze-laugh.

OK Alan.....my most embarrasing moment was getting caught mooning in downtown SLO while crusing. Actually I fell out the back of a friends Van, and skinned my buns! It was pretty funy now that I think about it. As far as my first kiss. It wasnt anyone in our class, actually a girl from Arroyo Grande High School. My first slow dance was Valarie Gould at Laguna Jr High, wonder if she remembers? I'd say probably not, why I do when I can barely remember my kids birthdays, is beyond me.

Come on, Alan- they're 'THE Committee' THEY don't have to actually do any of these things! Just having their names under the word 'committee' means a possible boatload of stress and responsibility at some point. By actually organizing and providing realtime venues for this reunion, they've way exceeded the minimal expectations of many members of the 'Most Apathetic Class'. Give 'em a break, Alan. They've contributed much more than you or I could ever hope to in our pathetic lifetimes. Besides, are detailed bio's something we really need from those types of individuals? Maybe we should write their bio's for them and see how close we come?

Carol, I think it's a male thing. Of the 30 men on the class directory, 14 wrote very little or gave only their e-mail addresses. Of the 18 women, only six gave that little information. (By the way, I put myself in the detailed category.)

I find it interesting that a lot of the Reunion Committee members have not submitted information about themselves. I'm talking specifically about Leslie Edmondson Cruzen, Hank Farrar, M. Joe Johnson, Chris Perello, and Paula Prinslow Farrar. Someone needs to shame them into doing so.

To generate more responses to Matt's question, I'm going to call it the Question of the Week and put it on the home page. Each Sunday, someone else can pose a question of the week. But, the rule is that you have to be the first to answer your question. So what's your answer to your question, Matt?

Hello to everyone from the class of '75. Did another five years go by again? I heard Barry Silva is living back in SLO. Looking forward to seeing you all in August.

Hello everyone! Conan is doing just fine, spoke to him on AOL the other day. He was in San Francisco with Mark Chandler(Class of 74) for the opening of Pac Bell Park. He said he will try to make it to the reunion. No sign of Rosemary Jordison yet.

Hi, Dave- Conan gets a very respectable amount of air time down here- KNBCLA4. He was in D.C. for the Monica Lewinski brouhaha. I emailed him a year or two ago asking for an autograph and complimenting him on his 'official-looking big time reporter's trench coat', but he hasn't answered yet- can't imagine why.... I sent Nora his email awhile back, but I have to assume she hasn't had any luck as I haven't heard from her, either. Maybe a mass email will shake him loose enough to contact us. Try: www.nbc4la.com, and look for the email link to the news dept. Good Luck! Oh, Barry Silva's traveling the State Fair Circuit sitting in as Grand Funk's drummer.

You know, the last time I saw Nolan was on TV when the So. Cal was hit by an earthquake a few years ago. I happen to be watching ABC when they went to the LA affiliate and there was Nolan. I wonder if he is still in the LA area working with ABC or another station?

Jeff.....i dont have a clue where to start looking for Rosemary. The last memory I have of Rosemary, was at the 24 hour dance-a-thon. She was a good dancer. Maybe she is a Pro Dancer now? Perhaps a smimming coach at the University level? Well....to all reading this post any clues would be excellent. The next question is, Who's next on the search list?

Yo, Matt! I guess now that we've more or less uncovered Barry Silva's whereabouts we can steer the Force towards locating Rosemary Jordison. Any ideas? Is there women's Pro Water Polo? Hi, Michele- welcome back from the "List of the Missing."

Amazingly enough I knew Barry Silva pretty well, we grew up together in the early days of Laguna Lake (go Lancers). I see his dad occasionally when I am in SLO. His dad worked for the gas company in SLO, his name is Paul Silva Sr., I'm pretty sure his dad is still in SLO. The last time I saw Barry's dad he told me that Barry was a fireman in LA somewhere, he didn't mention anything about Barry being a rock star...

To the committee: Conan Nolan (...famous TV news reporter, etc) is also listed as a "missing person" on our site. BUT his name and e-mail are listed at the bottom of the alumni list for Class of 1974! (look at the other class site links). HTH, Michelle

Great idea, great site! Thanks Alan for doing this. Thanks also to the reunion committee for all your efforts. It's been fun to read about what everyone has been up to! I hope more classmates will continue to add their info to the directory. I'm looking forward to getting back in touch with all you guys. Hoping to make it to the Reunion in August!

The Barry search goes on....and on. Latest findings had Barry working for President Reagan. An informed source was reported knowing that Barry Silva was the direct link between Reagan and the Iran-Contra Gun deals. More on this story later, maybe much later.

Ok, since you have the Barry Silva search in progress, I have to make a confession that I haven't told anyone since 1967! Barry was the first boy I kissed. It was 4th grade! Whew. Glad I finally got that load off. Humm...if I remember, he didn't have much good to say about it.

Hi! Most of you may remember me as the knuckle-dragging, fiery-tempered, profanity-spewing rebel without a clue during our years at SLO. Okay, maybe not- but you've read this far-please read a little further. In keeping with the self voted title of "Most Apathetic Class", we have a responsibility here to attend this year's reunion without really attending. (Good, I see some of you have already caught on) Those of us who will not be able to attend , for whatever reason, should make an effort(oops-sounding like Dollahon there, sorry) to 'meet up' here in the message room on Saturday, Aug. 5th. We could 'reunite' here in a sort of quasi-chat room, granted, a little delayed but still a viable form of conversation given the circumstances. If Mr. Furtado were to then power up his computer, shall we say, during the hours of the "Millenium Reunion" gig, we'd also be able to say a quick "Waasssssssup?" to those who were lucky enough to actually be there. It's so simple: buy a couple bags of confetti, order in some 'zza and 'reunite' from the comfort and relative safety of your own home! How much more apathetic could you get? Some traditions are just not made to be toyed with! See you on the message board Aug. 5th- or not...... Jeff- ps: memo to Matt the Babe: it's spelled 'Maddalena'-

I received my reunion postcard and couldn't resist looking up the web site. Thanks to those who provided this. In looking through the songs, movies, and events of 74-75, I can't believe that it has been 25 years! I am doing great, still married after 24 years, and love being a Hoosier in Indiana. I'm working at Purdue University and have been there since 1988. I hope everyone else is well. Thanks Susanne
