My older sister has kinda-sorta kept in contact with Doug so she was excited to go watch. She really enjoyed herself and was able to talk to Doug after the show. My wish to everyone is to have a merry christmas and of course a Happy New Year. It's been really fun this year renewing so many old friendships! Keep in touch . . . Love ya all! Karen Karen - Saturday, December 18, 2004 at 17:45:02 (CST) Bravo Brian!! Hey Burton has Mrs. Clause shown up yet? Kim, I hope Tom is doing well I will keep him in my prayers. You know... I'm sorry I didn't know how wonderful you guys were 30 years ago, I could have had some awsome friends!! I am blessed to call you my friends now. Love ya all!! sheila - Friday, December 17, 2004 at 10:08:59 (CST) Firstly...THANK YOU Brian for sharing your wonderful poem. You truly captured what this time of year is REALLY all about. Burton I hope everyone that contributes to this guest book has convinced you that love and friendship is a gift from God and it's sad we take only one day a year to fully appreciate it. Kim, I'm so sorry to hear about Tom. I figured something must be wrong. Is there anything I can do? Don't let the hussle and bustle of the season get you down everyone, take that moment Brian did to pause and remember. God Bless. Linda - Friday, December 17, 2004 at 08:50:03 (CST) WOW... I cannot believe how much I've missed you guys... You folks are all so wonderful. Burton, I usually have the same feelings at Christmas. I count the days until it is "over". You need to look around your house and count your blessings because I know you have a wonderful family. I think it is so neat we are all still reading and talking. Karen, did you send me that story? Jerry, thanks for writing it because it was wonderful, and made me stop and think about life. Brian.. you're a poet and you know it!! Thanks for sharing. Rex... I wish I could see your brother's show it sounds like a winner. We've had some health problems with my Tom lately and been really busy, but I've decided you guys are the best therapy ever...... Let's keep talking!! I'll tell what, if we are all still talking in February, I think we should all get together for dinner. Linda... I've missed your emails' but I know it's my turn!! OK... enough mush.... GET YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING DONE.....Love you all... Kim BC - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 21:24:16 (CST) Hey Mike...I remember what you are talking about. Ballet West...hehehehehe Burton - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 18:26:08 (CST) keep up the good work brian. hey rex, tell your brother to make sure he doesn't have a split in his inseam when he performs at rhs mike v - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 15:08:45 (CST) Brian, you rock dude... RV - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 13:44:03 (CST) A few months ago, Mike V. asked me to share some poetry with you all, so here's my Christmas poem; A Pitchfork Full of Christmas On a cold December evenin' near Wyomin's border line I was stayin' over at the ranch of a real good friend of mine He'd gone to town to get supplies while I chopped water holes that's got to be done twice a day at thirty-two below I stepped into the old log barn to put the ax away and feed the saddle horses from a stack of meadow hay As I pitched the manger full of those dry and rustling stems It hit me that back two thousand years this is how it must have been When the Saviour came into this world to a stable like this one A barn out back where God first sent His only begotten Son The heat from all those horses in that little log-walled shed Kept the manger warm enough to be a baby's bed I stood there for a moment then took my hat off slow and offered up a prayer of thanks from us all here below The way that Jesus lived His life and the way He died for us Shows a feller how to try his best and not betray the trust As I walked back to the ranch house I looked up toward the sky And I thought I saw a twinkle way out East and way up high So you can talk about those sleigh bells and Old Santa's jolly laugh But I felt Christmas in my heart as I pitched a manger full of grass Brian Arnold Happy Holidays All!!! BMA - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 11:15:27 (CST) Thanks for the info Rex. Burton - Thursday, December 16, 2004 at 08:53:10 (CST) This Friday at the Roy High's little theater, my older brother Doug will be performing the 'One Christmas Carol'. Its a one man play where he protrays 32 different characters, each unique in personality. It's really is good. Doug has been a professional actor for 34 years, performing as Merlin in the 'Tournament of Kings' at the Excaliber Hotel in Vegas for 12 years.He teaches theater and drama at the University of Nevada Las Vegas Chyenne Campus. This would be a great addition to your holiday celebration. Rex - Wednesday, December 15, 2004 at 20:55:40 (CST) Thanks for the great reminder Jerry/Karen of what really matters in this world. Everyone have a Great Holiday and remember why we're here. Linda - Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 08:36:18 (CST) Been up to my butt in alligators. sorry for not being around for a while. Just a quick note to wish you and yours a Very Festive Yule, and Hopes that the new year finds you healthy and happy. RV - Tuesday, December 14, 2004 at 04:01:37 (CST) Mike, I don't know anything about that Guy! Rex - Friday, December 10, 2004 at 17:13:50 (CST) Jerry, WOW!! That was a great story and a great reminder to all of us. You never know how you'll effect someones life. Good food for thought at this time of the year when depression is a problem for some. Any way thanks Jerry & Karen. Where are the rest of you that used to keep this thing going??? sheila - Friday, December 10, 2004 at 16:18:06 (CST) Karen DeVries (Yoshimura) sent me this email today. I really liked the story. Merry Xmas everyone - JR. One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorr ow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives. "He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! "He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, ! Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend . He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. Jerry R - Friday, December 10, 2004 at 11:08:32 (CST) hey rex, what do you know about the new usu coach? mike v - Friday, December 10, 2004 at 08:51:02 (CST) Sheila…you can send over Mrs. Santa, she can sit on my lap and we could talk about what she wants for Christmas. I don’t think that a singing phone call would help,but I'm alway up for something new. I called one of these 999 numbers and she sang to me, but I didn’t know the song, so I hung up. (Not really). Boy…Brian…when you get going, I feel like I should sat and put my hand over my heart. Then stand there with my head down, for a minute of silence. Everyone have a great holiday, be safe and always have fun. ☺ Burton - Thursday, December 09, 2004 at 17:04:20 (CST) Brian? Is that you? Well I don't hunt Elk anymore, I'm getting to old & fat!! You did real well on the serious part and I agree with you totally!! Happy Holidays to everyone!! sheila - Thursday, December 09, 2004 at 13:54:14 (CST) Cow moose in distress? That might come in handy during hunting season! Seriously, Christmas comes and goes, but what matters most is God, Country, family, & friends (hopefully in that order). I'm proud to call you all my friends, and wish you all the best throught the Holiday season. (I'm finished with the serious part now, how'd I do?) I reall do enjoy the banter, and Jerry, thanks for all the work you do keeping this site up and going. BMA - Thursday, December 09, 2004 at 10:17:31 (CST) Burton, It sounds like you are still having trouble with your Christmas spirit. What can I do to help?? I could hire a Santa to come to your home so you could sit on HIS lap and tell him what you want for Christmas!Or I could call you on the phone and sing Christmas carols (my children think that I sound like a cow moose in distress when I sing!!) But I will do whatever I can to help!! sheila - Thursday, December 09, 2004 at 09:18:11 (CST) 16 shopping days and it's over...yea Burton - Thursday, December 09, 2004 at 09:11:11 (CST) Weber has landed a very good football coach in Ron McBride. Way to go Wildcat!!!!!! Rex - Wednesday, December 08, 2004 at 22:14:46 (CST) Very nice and useful website. Please visit my website!!! :) http://www.metropolis5000.com Webmaestro - Sunday, December 05, 2004 at 21:14:10 (CST) Thanks Sheila!!!☺ Burton - Wednesday, December 01, 2004 at 07:12:02 (CST) Hey Burton, anytime!!!! sheila - Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 09:46:56 (CST) Sheila…ha-ha-ha every funny. You know, I did play Joseph once in a Christmas play. I think I was seven or eight years old. I don’t think that a Christmas play at my house will help with my Christmas spirit. I listen to Christmas music in my truck, so that’s not helping. Maybe November just went by to fast and the spirit just hasn’t reached me yet. But thank for making me laugh.☺ Burton - Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 07:28:28 (CST) Hi, if you want to find the best forex <bubba@jsmith.com> Petseville, WI USA - Tuesday, November 30, 2004 at 02:50:03 (CST) Hey does anybody have a new baby? I could round up a couple of donkeys, a manger and straw, Maybe Brian & Rex could dress up like wise men and Linda could be Mary, lets see.... who could be Joseph? well any way we could go to Burtons house and see if that helps get him in the Christmas spirit!! Or Linda, some of us could come with you and sing carols for John! What do ya think John??? I'm sure we would all love to help you find that Christmas spirit. How's everyone else doing?? Not alot of chatter as of late. I love visiting the website every day or so. Well everyone have a nice day and keep the chatter going!! sheila - Monday, November 29, 2004 at 18:23:03 (CST) Thanks Linda, but I'll pass on the singing. Burton - Monday, November 29, 2004 at 14:38:48 (CST) Burton, sorry to hear you're not in the Christmas spirit. Do I need to sing Jingle Bells to you? Of course the way I sing it might put you off instead! Linda - Monday, November 29, 2004 at 14:29:50 (CST) Thank Rex for the comment. Yes, I’m all right and all who shop on black Friday are doing well, as far as I know. I broke the rules and shopped on Thanksgiving…Bad, Bad Boy that I am. The few things I needed to get were on sale on Thursday, so I went out on the holiday. Friday I slept in…first time in many, many years. It felt great. Way to go Linda…see not so bad, was it. Got the Christmas trees up and the house inside done, my kids did it. Not sure what it is, but really not in the Christmas spirit this year. Thanksgiving was good, it nice to see my wife’s family. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving…☺ Burton - Monday, November 29, 2004 at 14:01:14 (CST) OK Burton, I broke down and went shopping on Black Friday. But I didn't go until the shops were almost closing. I couldn't resist a couple good deals! Well it's official...I'm putting out the Chrissy decorations. How was everyones Thanksgiving? I hope it was spent with loved ones like mine. Linda - Saturday, November 27, 2004 at 11:45:52 (CST) Are you OK Burton? I hope no one was injured today in the rush of the masses.Were the deals worth it? Hope so. Rex - Friday, November 26, 2004 at 19:42:47 (CST) I got some more info on Coach Freddie. He is interested in landing a job with Coach Canales, and Canales has applied for the USU job. However the new AD wants a current college level coach rather then a NFL coach. For current recruiting reasons a college coach would have a step up. So, according to a friend of my sons, who is a player at USU and spoke personally with the new AD, John Mcbride is high on the list of canidates. I think he would be a good choice but that USU would miss the boat by not going with Chico and Fred. One other thing I was told by a fellow coach friend of Freds, is that Weber is not showing any interest in Fred, that he is not a factor there at all. James, I hate shopping the day after thanksgiving and think people who do like too are slightly unhinged. Except anyone reading this who likes to shop on Freaky Friday, you are completely sane. Even James Burton.... Maybe........ Rex - Wednesday, November 24, 2004 at 17:25:23 (CST) Well Linda I know right where Yorkshire is. Kimberly Clark has a plant in Barton upon Humber. I was over there working on one of my projects. In fact I have a friend over there (who now lives in Hull) that grew up in Yorkshire. It’s not such a big world is it. And ill tell you Rich that beer wasn’t cold but it sure was good. Your beer here is cold . Once again Happy Thankgiving Schwitz - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 21:24:01 (CST) To all Roy High Royals May you all have a most wonderful thanksgiving and Holiday season. Be thankful what you have and not what you want. This goes to the Jocks,Rednecks,Hippies and all the fine looking Ladies of Roy High Be especially grateful for your children and your grandchildren. jfk - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 19:36:58 (CST) That’s “OK” Brian. I love shopping the day after Thanksgiving. My wife hates to go. So, I’ve always gone out. It started when the kids were young, now it just for the fun of it. And now that the kids are older, we go together, shopping, push people around, shopping some more, push more people around, and then we go eat brunch. One day I should stop going…my love for the people that crash the line is getting out of hand. Haven’t hurt anyone yet…maybe anger management classes might help. No… I don’t think. Rex, you must like it, I think it would be a lot like playing football. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving…☺ Burton - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 17:31:23 (CST) I really enjoy reading everyone's comments, but I admit I must be just a bit left of center. I do shop the day after Thanksgiving, with my wife, because she enjoys it, although it's the only time I'm EVER in a large crowd and not on a horse. I hope each of you has a very enjoyable holiday season, be it here or abroad. BMA - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 06:40:52 (CST) Hey Switz! Welcome back. I bet that beer is getting real cold by now. Happy Turkey day to everyone. RV - Tuesday, November 23, 2004 at 04:43:19 (CST) Linda, I'm with you, there is no amount of money that could get me to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving!!! Hey Schwitzer, Congradulations on the Grandpa thing! There is nothing better than being a Grand parent. I have 4 Grandchildren!! The wrestling matches on the family room floor are priceless!!!The best is that you can spoil them rotten and send them home when they are acting spoiled rotten!! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!! sheila - Monday, November 22, 2004 at 15:03:20 (CST) Congratulations Schwitzer even if we are all too young to be grandparents! Sorry that England proved itself to be a little damp but then why do you think it's so green? Our friends that we visit live in North Yorkshire about 40 miles or so north of York. What were you doing there? Welcome back Jerry and Rex. Hey ditto on the GREAT THANKSGIVING! Linda - Monday, November 22, 2004 at 14:51:25 (CST) Jerry,I hope Gary gets one more year as well. The only way to make a true judgement on his program will be to give him next year to see how they can do without any Edwards leftovers. I have been a Ute fan for a long time but switched over when the Y hired Gary. He really is a great person and I'm not sure the Y can find any one as good.My son played for Fred the last three years and now has two state champ rings. You wouldn't be able to express how good of a coach he is in any short discription Jerry.We loved him and my son was totally committed to him and his program, would have done anything for him. My next son was crushed when Fred quit, he was only a sophmore this year. He really likes the new coach, who just happens to be Fred Thompson's little boy who was born during our senior year of football. As far as Fred's business, I think it is going very well. Fred was hardly ever around the HS, and made it to very few games because he was out of town on business. I assume, knowing how he works, he is being very successful. As far as WSU or USU I can't really say, but Fred did tell me once he didn't want to move way out of state to coach college football, but that he was interested in coaching at that level. I think his best friend, Chico Canalas, will get the USU job and that he will hire Fred to be his head assistant. I would not GUESS that Fred would take the Wildcat job. But, there is a reason I capp'ed GUESS,because thats what it is. You take care Jer----and may the rest of you have a happy thanksgiving!Hey, Schwitzer, be a good grand-pa-pa. Congrats REX - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 23:01:41 (CST) Well Linda I Just got back from Hull for work I was working in Barton Upon Humber It rained the whole time I was there. I did get a chance to go to York That was fun next time I go I think Ill head south. Hello to all And I wish all of you a very happy thanksgiving. I have no stories Burton but I Did Get the chance to visit my boy and daughter in law in Riverton Wyo this week I'm going to finally be a Granpaw. Schwitz - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 20:09:52 (CST) Speaking of Football, I heard a rumor that Weber High recently approached Freddie Fernandes about coaching at Weber High and his response was that he basically had higher aspirations. Any thoughts on whether Utah State or Weber State would approach Freddie? I don't know how his new business is doing, but I sure thought he was a great coach at Northridge. JerryR - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 17:23:57 (CST) Rex, personally I really liked Crowton and I do hope they keep him around next year just to prove what "his" team could do from his recruiting efforts. But, I think there may be some coaching changes in the works. I am still BYU blue, but it was just a fantastic ride for the Utes. JR. JerryR - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 17:19:34 (CST) Jerry, I played football with Coach Crowton when I was at Snow and he lived across the hall from me. I was hoping for a better outcome then what you predicted, but unfornunatly you were very close. I hope they don't fire Gary, but if they do I have you to blame. Ha! Rex - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 12:19:14 (CST) For all of you football fans, I am predicting Utah 41, BYU 17. I used to be true-blue, but I kinda of switched sides during the season. Go Utes. JerryR - Saturday, November 20, 2004 at 17:54:27 (CST) No way Burton, you couldn't make me go out the day after Thanksgiving if they were giving away a million dollars! There is NOTHING I want bad enough to fight those crowds. Linda - Saturday, November 20, 2004 at 09:06:41 (CST) No Linda, I think that JFK wakes up his or her ducks as a Thanksgiving tradition. Sheila…That’s cool you are done. I have got one or two things left to do. I got a big package yesterday of stuff I had ordered. Linda, I so jealous of you spending Christmas in England. (In 1976, I lived in Tasmanian, Australia. The Prime Minister of Tasmania had a party, for the Bicentennial, for some high ranking America’s that was visiting. I was lucky enough to get invited to the gala. Anyway, I got to meet the Queen of England at the party. Something I will never forget.) I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Maybe I'll see some of you in a store, the day after Thanksgiving. You've got to love shopping on that day, I do.☺ Burton - Friday, November 19, 2004 at 08:48:31 (CST) OK JFK if you're going to surface again you could at least be man/woman enough to let us know who you are. Hey Sheila, I'm jealous, you've already done all your Christmas shopping? I don't even know where to begin! I have to get my "ducks" ;o) (JFK) in a row early because we're spending Christmas in England again this year. No special plans for Thanksgiving. Everyone have a special one. Linda - Friday, November 19, 2004 at 08:11:52 (CST) Wake up Wake baby ducks jfk - Friday, November 19, 2004 at 01:40:47 (CST) Hey Burton, glad to see someone is talking again! Yea I'm done with my Christmas shopping except for some little things that I'll pick up closer to Christmas. Just want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!!! sheila - Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 12:15:30 (CST) Hi all, With Thanksgiving just a week away. Does anyone have any family thanksgiving traditions you would like to share? And with only 36 shopping days till Christmas, is anyone done with their shopping? ☺ Burton - Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 09:41:25 (CST) I leave for a week and you guys are talking about me:) I was once speaking to a group of woman and I was introduced as a porn expert - It brough some good laughter. Gary, all of the information is out on one of our websites at www.TopTenReviews.com. Hey Rex, I too know how you feel. Everytime Weber (where my kids went to school) played Roy High, I was the only one on our side who occasionaly cheered for Roy - Luckily, I didn't get beat up. Jerry R. - Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 20:44:06 (CST) For some reason, Jerry, porn, don't fit in the same sentence. Good job though Jerry. RV - Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 08:40:00 (CST) A star is born! Jerry, I saw you last week on KBYU. It was a great presentation on porn and the internet. I have told a few people about it and they want to know where they can access some of the information / protection you discussed. Great job! The Packman! - Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 08:07:57 (CST) So when is the next time you guys are at Red Rock? RV - Tuesday, November 09, 2004 at 19:41:35 (CST) We're playing Friday, 11/12/04, at the California-Oregon Trail Museum in the bustling metropolis of Montpelier, Idaho. (It's a benefit gig for them) We have a few private parties, then we're doing a Christmas Concert on Dec 2nd in Lyman, Wyoming, then a New Years Eve dance & celebration in Manti. I'm still a little envious of all the pheasant hunters, fly fishermen, etc. out there, but there's only som many hours in a day and a limit on how much fun you can have. Here's hoping everyone is well!! B Arnold - Tuesday, November 09, 2004 at 11:11:03 (CST) So Brian, Where is your band playing next? And a great big hello to all of youse guys. Let's keep writing so Jerry don't get bored. RV - Monday, November 08, 2004 at 22:14:38 (CST) Okay Burton, enough politics, let's get this party goin'. RV - Monday, November 08, 2004 at 22:05:35 (CST) Look at this…You reminded people to vote and that the last word spoken. ☺ Burton - Monday, November 08, 2004 at 15:55:36 (CST) Don't forget to vote today... Burton - Tuesday, November 02, 2004 at 13:52:56 (CST) Kim, sorry to hear about your baby, when I lost my Budcus I couldn't eat or sleep worth a darn for 2 weeks! I know how you feel, hang in there!! Did everyone vote today?? It's not a God given right it was fought for and earned so everyone should take advantage of that priviledge!If you don't vote you can't complain! Well enough lecturing. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!!! sheila - Tuesday, November 02, 2004 at 09:29:33 (CST) No doubt Burton! I'm sure that's true. I was just trying to generate some conversation, not question your loyalty. Kim, hang in there. I don't remember who it is that has a cabin in Florida; I was wondering if you were voting here or there, or both. HAHA! Rex - Tuesday, November 02, 2004 at 00:39:55 (CST) Kim, I’m sorry about your dog. If something happen to my dog, I don’t know what I would do. She there when I get up, when I come home from work, and she there when I go to bed. If I go up stairs, she follows along. Well, Halloweens is over. Did anyone have a lot of kids come to their house? Now, it’s time to get ready for the holidays. Rex, I still live in Roy and I keep an eye on what is going on at Roy High. All three of my girls went to Roy. So I think that more people than just you care about Roy. ☺ Burton - Monday, November 01, 2004 at 14:40:04 (CST) Kim I am so sorry for your loss. I know my furry friend (Sammy, schn/poodle mix) is my kid too. Linda - Sunday, October 31, 2004 at 12:57:25 (CST) Hey everybody, did you see my daughters picture in the Standard Friday? She was playing Volleyball for Northridge in a game against Roy. I know everyones cares, but I have to confess that I cheered a little more for my girl then I did for the Royals. I feel like a hypocrite! Shamed but proud. Rex - Saturday, October 30, 2004 at 22:22:23 (CDT) Hi everyone. Linda, sorry I haven't answered yet but I will today... Sounds like you've been having a ball as usual! What a life you lead... I had to put my puppy (who's also my baby) to sleep at the ripe old age of 120 (doggie years of course) on Monday. He had gotten to the point where he was deaf, blind and running into walls. If any of you have experienced this you know it's like losing a member of the family. (Karen, I'm sorry I haven't called to tell you yet but I just can't talk about it without crying). After it was over with,I laid on the table hugging him for 15 minutes. Way to go Sheila!! Of course we care Rex. Hi Burton! It's great to be back... You guys are soo much fun to read... Kim - Saturday, October 30, 2004 at 12:16:37 (CDT) Hey Jerry...you going to remove that spam? Burton - Thursday, October 28, 2004 at 12:31:22 (CDT) It looks like spam found our website :( Be warned...don't click on it, it's probably a virus or trojen. Linda - Tuesday, October 26, 2004 at 08:08:18 (CDT) Hi, if you want to find the best cheap cigarettes <john@loki.net> Petseville, WI USA - Tuesday, October 26, 2004 at 05:57:43 (CDT) I’m still here Linda…I carve up some pumpkins every year. Spend 4 or 5 hours working on each one of them. They are having a pumpkin carving contest at my work. Some of the people won’t enter if I do. (Kind of childish, if you know what I mean). I like that time I spend with my kids, just carving away. There are some cool sites to get ideas. I like this one, http://www.pumpkinglow.com. The kid who runs the site lives in Logan. You can down load some go patterns off this site. Got to run…Take care ☺ Burton - Monday, October 25, 2004 at 16:44:20 (CDT) Where is everyone? Anyone doing something fun for Halloween? I'm dressing up Gothic this year. I'll send pics. Linda - Monday, October 25, 2004 at 13:19:16 (CDT) Rex, It is good to see someone who cares. If alot more parents at the schools cared as much as you do, there would probably be alot less problems. I too am a careing person. Not only because I am an alumnist, but I have kids who are Royals as well. Props to ya Bro. RV - Monday, October 25, 2004 at 09:13:53 (CDT) Because of the lack of interest I will indulge in a bit of idle kakkle. The Royals fizzled a 3-0 start into a 3-7 season. However, according to the press we had one of the top rushers in the state. A young man by the name of Archuleta provided some exciting moments for the Royal faithful. I realize that some of you ( maybe all ) don't really care, but, I really don't care if you don't care, because I have fun careing. Jerry, I'll bet you that I'm a bigger sentimental sapp then you. Rex - Sunday, October 24, 2004 at 01:52:54 (CDT) ME TOO...Sheila Burton - Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 12:04:10 (CDT) Thanks Burton, I would join in the conversation on your photo, scanner problem but what I know about that stuff you could put in the head of a pin and still have room left over! So I'll just listen for now but I sure enjoy checking in everyday to see what everyone has to say. sheila - Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 10:20:08 (CDT) Welcome back Sheila…sounds like you had a great time. Things have been really, really quit around here. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 at 14:55:06 (CDT) I’m going to buy a flat bed scanner. Then I can transfer 35mm slides and/or negatives to a CD or DVD. I looking at an Epson Perfection 3170 photo scanner or something HP puts out. Still checking on what the NET has to say about the test on the scanners. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 at 09:10:43 (CDT) Good fot you James! My daugther was a photographer at Inkleys and I received discounts on slide transfere's to prints and CD. What did you find out? Rex - Monday, October 18, 2004 at 22:37:12 (CDT) Hello everyone, just returned from a 10 Pheasant hunt in Montanna. I do believe it is the Pheasant heaven on earth! Took Kelly Stagg & Neil Christensen again and I'm happy to say I shot the first bird of the trip!! The dogs worked really hard and the new one we just had shipped in from Colorado did a great job! Glad to hear that all of you are trying to keep this going! Well gotta run as I can't see over my desk! Catch ya later! Linda I'll send that right away. sheila - Monday, October 18, 2004 at 10:33:38 (CDT) Rex…found out about the slide transfer stuff on my own. Thanks anyway. ☺ Burton - Thursday, October 14, 2004 at 09:56:19 (CDT) Welcome back Linda. Sounds like a great trip. Gary and Rex...great jokes. Hey Rex, it there a machine or device that you can transfer slides to your computer to create DVD or CD? I know that you can pay to have your 8mm transferred to CD/DVD but I have a ton of slides I would like to transfer over to CD/DVD. Thanks ☺ Burton - Wednesday, October 13, 2004 at 10:11:38 (CDT) Hey Everyone, Sorry I've been a bit busy lately. I just returned weekend before last from God's last frontier...Alaska. WOW sums it up. We hiked a glacier! The fall colors were in full bloom and the contrast of blue glaciers, white mountain tops and brillant yellows, golds and red were outstanding! Also just completed Wine 101...Awesome! I highly recommend Sur La Table check them out on the web. They have weekly classes. I tasted 7 different wines complimented with cheeses and fruits. Needless to say...I got a little tipsy from the experience! But it was worth it! Sheila, our webmail is turned off at work would you resent Jan's address, e-mail to me at: linda@scenepho.com? Thanks! Linda - Tuesday, October 12, 2004 at 19:43:59 (CDT) Gary, what did the redneck say just before he got hurt???-----HEY, WATCH THIS!!!! Rex - Tuesday, October 12, 2004 at 15:04:14 (CDT) Just checked the comments after a two week business trip. I saw the roll call request and must admit I am here and have been part of the silent majority. I have talked with a few of our classmates and know they are read onlys like I have been. I thank all of you who have been diligent in keeping the guestbook alive. I will try to contribute a little more often and I hope those who have remained silently on the sidelines (like me) will do the same. Rex, good luck in getting those tapes. While I never had the size or talent to play on those teams, I like many of our classmates were your biggest fans. I would love a copy of the dvd if you can put it together. Sheila, Happy hunting. Burton, Thanks for the great insights and I have a clean joke from this Idaho redneck - Why don't they ever solve redneck murders? Because they don't have any dental records and their DNA is all the same. Have a good day Y-all Gary Packham - Monday, October 11, 2004 at 22:42:59 (CDT) Our group, SaddleStrings, (or parts thereof) is doing a little gig Saturday evening (10/16) at the Red Rock Cafe above Huntsville on the Monte Cristo highway. We'll start around 6:00 pm. Stop and say hello! B Arnold - Monday, October 11, 2004 at 16:37:38 (CDT) Hey Rex, I too must be one of those reminiscing type of guys. Being how I had so much fun working on the Roy High Video, my wife and I decided to make a big family video of my last 6 generations of family members. It has been fun gathering up old vidoes and photographs dating back to the 1900's. We went through the task of converting all of the old 8MM tapes and stuff. I found all kinds of old pictures from my pre-school through high school years - pictures and movies I didn't even know existed. I love some of the old 4th grade basketball team pictures with the Hooper guys. It brings back a lot of great memories. Rex, maybe we are just softies :) Jerry R. - Thursday, October 07, 2004 at 12:31:50 (CDT) Rich, loved it!! THANKS sheila - Thursday, October 07, 2004 at 10:02:42 (CDT) Thanks Sheila. But I have the son to that dog on our site. The dog on the site is Dagger, his son, my dog is Kazar. Hope you guys liked the site. RV - Thursday, October 07, 2004 at 04:54:50 (CDT) If many of you guys who look at this page know me, you know that I don't frequent bars and I do my best to keep my cars wheels firmly on the road. You will also remember that I was a sports nut. Well guys this may come as a surprise to some of you, I still am. I have also worked as a photographer and videographer. My daughter and I use to do weddings and I did sideline work for Northridge high school until my son's started playing there. I have a request; does anyone know what happened to our old game film from our Sr. year football team? Years ago someone (I can't rmember who) excitedly told me that Coach Jacklin had given him all the old football films. If I could get those I would like to transfere them to DVD. I love doing work where the past is captured and perserved. I know I would love to have these old films to show my kids. The only thing they know about me is that I can't jump off a bucket without an ambulance near by just in case I hurt myself. I also still love the guys who shared that competitive experience with me, and I would be happy to make copies for them too. That is, if they want to have them. I realize that some leave the past in the past and that others don't mind remising occasionally. I thank everyone for reading this and giving me this moment. Roy, is 3-4 now; two streaks in one season; 3-0 and 0-4. Rex Baker - Wednesday, October 06, 2004 at 18:26:57 (CDT) Rich, We did check out your website, it's way cool. the boys thought your dog was great. Sounds like life is treating you well!! sheila - Wednesday, October 06, 2004 at 11:30:10 (CDT) DANG!!! Did it again....Sorry Sheila RV - Tuesday, October 05, 2004 at 10:42:23 (CDT) Oops. Sorry.

My grandson loves the demolition derby! He calls it the car Rodeo, it's one of his favorite things to do. sheila - Tuesday, October 05, 2004 at 09:47:47 (CDT) Yup. We have a stunt driving team. We do rollover competitions RV - Monday, October 04, 2004 at 13:47:48 (CDT) hey rich, i saw your family on the news last week doing the demolition derby thing. are you involved with that? mike v - Monday, October 04, 2004 at 08:57:23 (CDT) 3-4 Rex - Sunday, October 03, 2004 at 12:37:18 (CDT) HI I seen Barb on Channel 13 last night something to do with black lab pups.

Gotta keep this thing going! Sheila - Friday, October 01, 2004 at 10:58:22 (CDT) Hi Sheila, no I didn't. Would you mind sending it again? THX Linda - Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 16:38:41 (CDT) Good one Burton RV - Thursday, September 30, 2004 at 04:54:12 (CDT) It was early morning at an Army camp and the first sergeant was calling out names for the daily work parties listed on a piece of paper: "Ames" "Here!" "Jenson" "Here!" "Jones" "Here!" "Magersky" "Here!" "Seeback" " -- " "Seeback!" " -- " "SEEBACK!!!" " -- " At that point, someone whispered into the first sergeant's ear. He looked again at what the last name really said, quickly turned over the list and continued calling the names printed on the other side. By the way, I here…☺ Burton - Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 18:03:08 (CDT) Linda, did you recieve my e-mail about Jan Stagg?? let me know cause I've been having some trouble with my e-mail sheila - Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 09:46:47 (CDT) Present and accounted for! Linda - Wednesday, September 29, 2004 at 07:31:39 (CDT) Roll Call - I am here. I haven't visited the site for about a month - I have been up to my eyeballs in our new website www.TopTenReviews.com. We now have about 2.5 million people a month coming and it has kept me pretty busy. I didn't even get a vacation this summer and now it is over. Oh well. I am really glad you guys have been so diligent in keeping it going here at Roy74. It was fun to read everything I have missed. Keep them coming - I will check back more often. Brian, I will get your email address changed. JR. Jerry R. - Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 18:12:02 (CDT) Okay everyone....Sound off for Roll Call RV - Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 15:50:06 (CDT) Brian, Lucky you!! I wish I had the opportunity to go push cows for 2 weeks! I don't ride much anymore, but I do love to move cattle and help out at branding time. I'm leaving for Montana for a 10 day Phesant hunt in October which is my first love! By the way all of you that said to tell Kelly Stagg hello, he couldn't believe it! he says to tell you hello!! He is going with us to Montana. Enough about me, where is everyone??? It's getting real slow on the conversation end of this guestbook!!!! Sheila - Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 10:20:44 (CDT) Hey Jerry, could you change my email address? It's now Arnold@acninc.net (Not that I'm receiving tons of mail) It really is great to hear what's going on with everyone. I just spent two weeks gathering cattle above Lost Creek, then driving them to Woodruff across Deseret Land & Livestock. Pretty tough duty, huh? It helps me write cowboy songs when all I can smell is horse sweat and cow manure... B Arnold - Tuesday, September 28, 2004 at 07:24:38 (CDT) 3-3 Rex, - Sunday, September 26, 2004 at 01:03:39 (CDT) Hi Christine, I glad to hear that your cottage is “OK” and not wiped out; however, water to the door and now you have electricity, doesn’t sound like two things you want to mix. As part of your job, I applied to be part of the FEMA Team, but didn’t get picked up. A few people I work with did, but they will be part of the Western States FEMA Team. When we applied, we were hoping to go to Florida. I’m glad that your friends are “OK” too. I always wish I could just take off, go, and help clean up…but it’s yet to happen. Maybe one day I’ll just have to do it. Take care. ☺ Burton - Thursday, September 23, 2004 at 10:38:00 (CDT) Thanks for all the concern about our cottage in Florida. I've been told by friends that our cottage doesn't have any damage. However, we have water up to our porch steps. We now have electricity and water; we are very fortunate. Quite a few cottages in our development were structually damaged and x'd in red by FEMA. I'm told the dunes are gone and some shoreline. They are just now letting homeoners into the community. I've heard the clean-up is fantastic and will not hinder the tourist from coming there. We plan on going there the first of November for a homeowners meeting. We are just so happy our friends in Destin were safe. Take Care Christine Muscolino - Thursday, September 23, 2004 at 06:12:01 (CDT) Mike, I think the Royals are still winning more then they are losing.(3-2) That's better then they have done in 20 years or more. Don't despair. (Until Saturday) Rex, - Wednesday, September 22, 2004 at 00:30:48 (CDT) Christine, I hope your cottage is alright. The homes they have shown really did not do well. I hope you are one of the lucky ones. Shirley, I'm glad to hear you are ok. Pam Jackson - Tuesday, September 21, 2004 at 15:19:20 (CDT) Hey, everybody seems to be having a good time still. It's good to read your comments. Sheila, tell Kelly Stagg and Neil Christensen "Hi" from me. Rex, I think you must have jinxed the Royal football team with your comments. Mike Vaughn - Tuesday, September 21, 2004 at 14:04:41 (CDT) Kim, I’m glad you had a great time.☺ Burton - Tuesday, September 21, 2004 at 09:02:49 (CDT) Hi Rich, Hi everyone...welcome back Kim. I'm glad you had a GREAT trip to Yellowstone. When are we on for another trip to Teazers? Chris (Tina) call me. Linda - Tuesday, September 21, 2004 at 07:35:33 (CDT) Just a quick note to say Hi. Hi Kim, Hi Linda, Hi Burton,Hi Sheila, Hi Almarie, Hi Shirley, Hi Pam, Hi Barb, Hi Everyone else I missed RV - Monday, September 20, 2004 at 21:30:45 (CDT) Burton!! You're right. Yellowstone was pretty fabulous....I don't think I've ever seen my Mom so happy! We had dinner at the Three Bears Lodge and it was wonderful... Thanks for the advice.. Shirley, it was really good news to here you escaped the rath of Ivan... My folks moved back here a year ago from Florida, but Charley pretty much destroyed their old home in Deltona. Chris, my Aunt lives in Santa Rosa beach and just went back home today. The power is out and she was lucky to escape much damage. However, the beach road from Fort Walton Beach west was washed out. Sheila, funny you should mention Kelly Stagg. He did my toe surgery... Tell him he did a great job!! Almarie... "you on a 750??" you are so tiny!!! Rex, I'm so glad you don't feel guilty. :-) Jerry, are we talkin' enough????? Karen, call me in the morning!!! Kim BC - Monday, September 20, 2004 at 21:16:58 (CDT) Shirley,wonderful!!! gald to hear it. best of luck to you, I know the clean up process will be difficult. We'll keep you in our prayers. sheila - Friday, September 17, 2004 at 13:51:48 (CDT) To any one.This is to let every one know we are ok.Hurricane Ivan did very litte damage to our place. A lot of damage all around us,but we are ok. Shirley (Briggs) Capps - Friday, September 17, 2004 at 13:16:37 (CDT) Thanks Sheila. I will have to stop by and see Chance. He was just a small boy the last time I saw him. I would love Jan's address. Do you have her e-mail? Linda - Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 15:41:38 (CDT) Almarie, Thats a nice bike!

Sheila - Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 10:17:16 (CDT) Tina, hope everything turns out okay, keep us posted. By the way, when are you coming back to Utah for our Martini Party? Karen - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 at 18:16:33 (CDT) Pam, We own a cottage on Destin Pointe, FL and there has been a mandatory evacuation of the islan. Doesn't look good. I've been told the winds and water surge is going to be quite intense and alot of damage. Destin on Ivan's path. Have to just wait and see what happens. Christine Muscolino - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 at 09:43:47 (CDT) Thanks Barb. RV - Wednesday, September 15, 2004 at 04:59:31 (CDT) Rich, There's not too many German shepherds around anymore. however we do have a beautiful female on the stray side right now. Good luck! Barb - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 19:52:30 (CDT) Sheila, any recomendations?I'm still on a 750.I've put 7000 miles on it since march . my husband and i drove around yellowstone. I plan to paint it during the winter and maybe sell it next year.I think i'll be ready, make all the boo boos on a smaller cheaper bike before I spend 17000 +. almarie - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 14:52:14 (CDT) Hey Sheila...you know Kelly Stagg? He lived around the block from me. I knew him and use to work with his sister Jan. Would you ask him how she's doing and where she is now? Dr huh...WOW. Linda - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 13:56:44 (CDT) mike, heck I don't remember the names of the towns, we have base camp in Plenty Wood Montanna and then drive where ever they tell us the hunting is good! Plenty Wood is in the 4 corners area. We usually make our contacts through people in Plenty wood, someone they know or a friend of a friend or whatever. Dr.Kelly Stagg and Neil Christensen go with us every year. They are Both from Roy originally, maybe you know them or remember them? Kelly moved in Jr. High but Neil was a year behind us in school. The Pheasant hunting is great in all the 4 corner area, kinda like the shows on TV on the outdoor life channel, there are so many Pheasants you don't know which one to shoot! It's fun to watch the dogs work, but it's sometimes hard on them when theres so much scent and so many directions to go. I can't believe that you were lucky enough to live in that area!! I have to drive 18 hrs. to get there! There is just no place to hunt in Utah anymore so we hunt Idaho, Montanna, & the Dakotas. I would love to hunt Kansas some day as well. sheila - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 11:53:44 (CDT) I have been trying to stay in contact with Shirley ( Briggs ) Capps, to make sure she is ok. She lives in Florida. I heard from her about a week ago and all was well. She said that the hurricane had missed them. But now this one Ivan is headed for her area. I will try to keep you updated if I hear any more form her. I hope if we have other classmates there that some one keeps in touch with them. Please keep the rest of us updated. Pam Jackson - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 10:27:51 (CDT) What I did on my summer vacation by J. Burton. I sold my Personal Watercraft (2001 Polaris Genesic I). Went to LA on business and changed part of my yard. If I double space, I still would be able to fill a page. I have no life. Sorry. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, September 14, 2004 at 09:34:28 (CDT) Sheila where in Dakotas do you hunt Birds, I lived in South Dakota for three years? Never had a chance to hunt pheasants.But I know the mule deer and whitetail deer hunting was great, Doug your band is awesome. It was good to hear some ole tunes. Mike OB - Monday, September 13, 2004 at 22:19:12 (CDT) almarie hows the bike thing going? have you graduated to a bigger bike yet? Sold ours, try to get a new one every couple of years.Let's see... my summer? well work, work, work and in between we take our kids, grandkids and all the 4-wheelers load them in the moterhome and go exploring! Wyoming, Idaho and Montanna so far this year. Haven't been anywhere cool this year, but have planned a trip to Cabo San Lucas in November. Mostly just worked this year not alot of time to play!! Maybe next year will be better. However Pheasant Hunting starts pretty soon and thats when I get my vacation, have a 10 day trip to Montanna & the Dakotas planned in October. Anyway just trying to keep the momentum going in the guest book. anyone else????? sheila - Monday, September 13, 2004 at 09:39:33 (CDT) Linda, Kim...I send you an e-mail with the tune... Burton - Monday, September 13, 2004 at 09:04:40 (CDT) Yeah Kim, I sometimes take my flitting around the world for granted. Vegas was fun, I can't believe how much they have added. I liked it so much I've just booked for vet weekend. But instead of gambling my objective is SHOPPING! Chris, are you still coming out? Burton, name that tune! Linda - Monday, September 13, 2004 at 08:23:05 (CDT) I think Burton is waiting for someone provide a comment in the guestbook. Am I right Burton? Have a great day. Christine Vitello - Monday, September 13, 2004 at 07:44:41 (CDT) Not a speck of guilt!!! Rex - Sunday, September 12, 2004 at 19:38:21 (CDT) Burton... I've been sitting here trying to figure out your tune... Give me a hint.. Linda, you have so much fun in life! We should all have so much fun. Hope you had fun in Vegas too.. Rex, I think I can understand your dilemma with calling games. It's really hard to be un-biased when you've been there when it was so important to win. Don't feel guilty, which I'm sure you don't... Right? It's been a really great summer... hasn't it??? It was cool and nice. Doug, I hope the evening was a success at the Rainbow!! By the way.... we're waiting JFK. Any hints on who you are????? Kim B - Saturday, September 11, 2004 at 20:51:29 (CDT) Have any of you guys seen where Roy's football team was 3-0 until they lost to Pine Veiw last night? I am still a devoted Royal, checking their score every Saturday morning. I was a High school football official for years a while back. One year I was given three Roy games on one contract. The next year I requested not to be given any Roy games. The reason was that I found myself throwing my flags against their opponents with a sense of Royal pride.Then in an effort not to do that, I'd end up not throwing my flag when I needed to. The last straw was the night that I nearly tackled a Fremont running back. There was something about the Black and Gold that made Roy games my toughest games. So, I never did another after that season. Just a funny memory popping into my head on a Saturday morning that I thought I'd share with friends. Friends who might understand that one can leave home but home never leaves you. Maybe its the Fogelberg music I'm listening to? Rex Baker - Saturday, September 11, 2004 at 14:19:43 (CDT) “TITITA TITUTU TIIIPATITITUUU, TUTUTU TUTUTU TUTUTU TUTUTUUU TUTUTITITUUU, AHAHAH!!!" Burton - Friday, September 10, 2004 at 07:19:02 (CDT) We have a German/Czech Shepherd we want to breed RV - Wednesday, September 08, 2004 at 04:31:48 (CDT) Yes all of them have to be fixed or have an appointment to be fixed before leaving the shelter. And with good reason, I might add. Why and what do you want to breed. Barb - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 at 19:11:20 (CDT) Man I had a WONDERFUL weekend! We went down to Torrey Utah which is just on the rim of Capitol Reef. What a quaint town. We stayed at a RV park and woke up to red buttes every morning. Our friends have a 40’ motor home with all the bells and whistles; we really had to rough it! Also found Utah’s best kept restaurant secret El Diablo. Not only was it priced reasonably, tasted marvelous but was presented so beautifully that you almost didn’t want to eat it. Who would have known in the middle of no where there would be such a find? It’s actually one of three restaurants in a 100 mile radius. At the RV Park there are full hook ups, tent spaces, fully equipped cabins and trailers to rent. And in town there are a couple other motels and places to stay. Just outside of town starts the Capitol Reef area. You would need at least a week to even begin to touch the many trails. Some are four-wheeler, some paved and some hiking trails. I couldn’t believe there weren’t many people there at all. I would definitely do it again! OK jfk (yeah right) now it's your turn! Linda - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 at 08:48:08 (CDT) I've been waiting to see more pictures from the class reunion ,taken by toni lunt,or others.maybe what you all did this summer? almarie - Tuesday, September 07, 2004 at 00:03:06 (CDT) John F Kennedy jfk - Friday, September 03, 2004 at 22:06:56 (CDT) Who is JFK????

I was on call and couldn't make it. Maybe next time. Barb - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 13:43:44 (CDT) Friday for a cold one sounds great, except I'm limited as to where. I'll be serving cold ones from the upper beer stand at the Ogden Raptors baseball game, so come and see me there! B. Arnold - Tuesday, August 24, 2004 at 11:58:30 (CDT) I am looking forward to the next meeting of the minds. How about this friday night for a cold one....Any takers?? RV - Monday, August 23, 2004 at 14:56:29 (CDT) Well, they suck at it! Linda Burton - Monday, August 23, 2004 at 09:03:56 (CDT) Naw Burton, we just decided it was someone elses turn to entertain the troops :) Linda - Friday, August 20, 2004 at 10:34:05 (CDT) Sorry Rich, didn't make it to the fair. Burton - Friday, August 20, 2004 at 07:22:49 (CDT) Rich is present and accounted for. Anyone see our show on saturday? Our next one is Sept. 19 at the Utah State Fair. RV - Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 20:06:09 (CDT) See that…people go to a bar (Teazer’s) and are never heard (comments) from again… Even Rich has gone missing in action. ☺ Burton - Thursday, August 19, 2004 at 14:30:40 (CDT) Hi Kim & Linda, I really had a good time at Teazers and can't wait till the next time we get together, thanks! Karen - Sunday, August 15, 2004 at 20:43:01 (CDT) Yeah Kim, it was great. I'm so glad you were able to come too Karen. It was great watching the olympics on the big screen, kicking back and having a chat with new friends. Thx guys! Linda - Saturday, August 14, 2004 at 09:46:38 (CDT) Sorry I couldn't make it. Got stuck at my meeting later than I thought. Then had to work on my stuff for my race today RV - Saturday, August 14, 2004 at 08:02:16 (CDT) Thank you Linda.... We really had fun didn't we? The food was great and the company was even better!!!!tks! Kim B - Friday, August 13, 2004 at 22:55:09 (CDT) Great Tina, I'll just be getting back from Alaska that day. I have an opportunity to attend Octoberfest in Anchorage and couldn't pass it by. Linda - Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 07:39:22 (CDT) Great Kim! Try to talk Karen into coming too. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it. Linda - Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 07:36:58 (CDT) Linda, If I were in town I'd meet you at Teazer's. By the way it looks as if we won't be closing on our condo until 8 Oct 04. We will be flying in on 4 Oct 04. Lets get together and have some fun. I hope you have a good crown on Friday. See ya!!!Tina Tina V - Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 05:58:31 (CDT) Good to see your still with us Kim RV - Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 04:48:56 (CDT) Just look over your shoulder, I'll be there RV - Thursday, August 12, 2004 at 04:47:44 (CDT) OK... see you tomorrow Linda!!!!

RV - Tuesday, August 10, 2004 at 04:51:36 (CDT) Linda…Linda…Linda…Oh Linda.☺ Burton - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 16:21:57 (CDT) So Burton, you can hang out at Roy Days but not with us this Friday at Teazers? I'm really starting to think you don't like us. Linda - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 15:29:02 (CDT) Dr Felt is my dentist .. RV - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 15:09:58 (CDT) Dr Felt is my dentist .. RV - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 15:09:49 (CDT) I had fun watch all the families at Roy Days. My daughter, Kari was working at Dr. Felt Family Dentistry booth, so I sat and watch the people. Just me and my Diet Coke. ☺ Burton - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 13:14:14 (CDT) My kids went and I guess they said it was pretty cool RV - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 12:30:33 (CDT) Did anyone make it to Roy Days? ☺ Burton - Monday, August 09, 2004 at 10:38:17 (CDT) Cool. Couches. Any shrinks in our midst? Maybe get some moonlighting in. Do they come with remotes for the big screen? Wishful thinking.... RV - Thursday, August 05, 2004 at 08:01:03 (CDT) For those who are going to be able to come to Teazers, just say you're a guest of Linda Wright and they will let you in. They have an area with couches for conversation. It would be nice to see you all again. Linda - Thursday, August 05, 2004 at 07:05:11 (CDT) Okay all youse guys and gals. Linda made the call, so let's all show her how much we appreciate her efforts. Let's go have a cold one and talk, remember the good times. RV - Thursday, August 05, 2004 at 06:49:14 (CDT) Sounds good Linda. We have a show to do on saturday night at weber county fairgrounds, I can be there for a little while, but I will be there. If you all are bored with nothing exciting to do, Come and watch my rollover team on the 14th at the weber county fair. RV - Wednesday, August 04, 2004 at 13:01:39 (CDT) Sorry guys, I can’t make it…☺ Burton - Wednesday, August 04, 2004 at 10:19:27 (CDT) OK, here it is: Friday 13th August, 6:30 @ Teazers Club Insomnia Private Club 366 36 OGDEN, UT 84405 - 1622 (801) 395-1517 I can get a membership and sponser anyone that wishes to come. Linda - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 at 15:05:59 (CDT) Sounds good to me Linda. Now we just ned to figure out where RV - Tuesday, August 03, 2004 at 04:56:53 (CDT) Back from vacation, RV,glad you're doing OK. As far as our schedule goes, we generally play wherever we're requested, next public gig is a dutch oven dinner (fund-raiser) at the Ogden Nature Center 08/06/04 at 6:30 PM. Call 621-7595 for details. I'm in for the end-of-summer party, just post when & where! B. Arnold - Monday, August 02, 2004 at 10:25:02 (CDT) How about Friday the 13th of August? It should be an easy date to remember. Any of the places along 25th sound good. We can discuss a run up to Eagles that night as well. Who's game? Linda - Saturday, July 31, 2004 at 14:14:59 (CDT) I can arrange a party at brewskis, city club or the shrimp boat or any place along 25th you'd like for a year end party. Just let me know when and where. Barb - Saturday, July 31, 2004 at 12:19:43 (CDT) How about one saturday night, we go up the canyon to the Eagles campgroud, and hear Lynn Horspool's band. They are real good as well RV - Saturday, July 31, 2004 at 03:33:17 (CDT) Tommy, I'm sure glad you didn't know Karate in the 7th grade! Great to hear from you. Rex Baker - Friday, July 30, 2004 at 11:31:25 (CDT) OK Kiddies, since I can't get any of you locals to to decide on a spot to get together, here are some choices thanks to Burton: The City Club, 264 25th Street, Rooster’s Brewing Co, 253 25th Street, Brewski’s, 244 25th Street, Teazers 366 36th Street or Red Rudy, Riverdale Road. Another thought is to find out when and where either Brian or John are playing with their bands. Guys? What's your schedule? Come on, we've had lots of let's but not many dos. Nothing happens unless we put it in concrete. Let's pick a Friday night...SOON and do it. Linda - Friday, July 30, 2004 at 06:54:03 (CDT) Okay Jim. I stand corrected. Senility setting in again. RV - Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 17:01:27 (CDT) Hey Rich…I think it was Barb idea for an end of summer party.☺ Burton - Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 16:08:18 (CDT) Kim, Linda, That sounds like one heck of an idea. Let's get 'er done!! RV - Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 14:28:01 (CDT) So Kim…how do I sound? The fact is, I act a lot younger in real life than I do typing on the keyboard. Sometime I act 47 years old…hehehehe. And as for Los Angeles…LA got everything a growing young man (48) could want. It’s got the sun, the beach, the girls on the beach (didn’t go to the beach, people keep pushing me back into the water, yelling, “don’t let him dry out…save the whale”), hot cars, great food, rich people, and most the people I meet were really nice and helpful. I love living in Utah, I always will, but it’s great to spend time in other cities, like LA, Seattle, Denver (love Denver), Dallas (hate the Cowboys), and even Atlanta. So, maybe I'm a little nuts…OK, maybe I’m totally nuts, but I have fun being it. Thanks Jerry for the update. I would love to party with you all, if given the chance.☺ Burton - Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 13:00:00 (CDT) Barb, I think that's a great idea. Any suggestions? Where, when? Let's really do it OK? Linda - Thursday, July 29, 2004 at 07:48:53 (CDT) Speaking of Switz: the guy from PA asked about the guy in our video who was wearing the panties, streaking, and dressed up as the queen. I told him he was one of our specially challenged. Just Kidding-You the man-John. JerryR - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 23:57:20 (CDT) You know what everyone? Reading this kinda makes me feel young again, ya know what I mean? John and I don't have anything going on, He was always a great guy and I've always loved his humor!! And after all, It had been too many years since we had seen each other and it was a fun time seeing everyone! I wish I could have visited with more of you but it just didn't last long enough. Scwitz, I think you're a sweetheart, and awfully nice, but with Holly being in the wall paper business, I don't think that's a good idea. Well I think we should have a big end of summer party somewhere so we all get together again real soon. Let's be sure to keep this part alive!! barb - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 23:37:38 (CDT) Rich!!! Welcome back!! And, I might add, this is kind of a party. I enjoy every single comment!! As you probably already know, "life in general is pretty tough", but this makes it a lot more fun. In fact, I've been working all night and decided I needed some good news, and I got it!! I don't want to start sounding like Burton, but..... Burton!! I was so excited to see your picture on the website!! You look great! Since we all didn't get a chance to see you at the reunion, it was great to finally see a picture of you! I still don't understand why you like Los Angeles so much but, I'm still trying to. Tommy, my comments about "Jocks", are all in good humor because honestly, I remember all of you jocks fondly... You all never really said much, but were really nice. I guess it was a "focus on our sport" kind of thing. By the way my comment about Arnold was "what do you think of Arnold the Governor!" Not "Arnold the rock star". Jerry, I thought that was really neat about the guy in PA. Did you tell him that "yes, all of the photo's were digitally enhanced?". Don't give the secret out. Schwitz.... I wondered about all of those pix with you and Barb...... They were good pix though.... Kim B - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 23:05:43 (CDT) Thanks ya'all. Now let's get this party started.. RV - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 20:10:02 (CDT) Well Tom I see Smitty everyday we set-up the alumni golf tourney (which you missed I might add) check out the pictures. He’s doing well and lives two houses away from me and has worked with me at Kimberly Clark for twenty years. He says hi. Rich ol boy good to have you back. My e-mail is on the web sight if you need something. And Barb the picture of you and I is now wall paper on my computer. I’m a sucker for beautiful women Schwitz - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 14:29:55 (CDT) Linda, got your e-mail, just haven’t had time to reply.☺ Burton - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 12:58:52 (CDT) Kudos Rich! Linda - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 09:54:13 (CDT) Welcome back Rich, ☺ Burton - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 09:27:22 (CDT) I did some soul searching today. And after reading all the nice things people said, I recall a line from "The Wizard of Oz". When the Wizard gave the Tin Man his heart he said," You are not judged by how many people you love, but by how many people love you." Thanks again Class of 74 for the support. Rich RV - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 02:47:44 (CDT) Well, pilgrims, I have been through alot of stuff for the past couple of weeks. With what I have been going through, and the support I have had from new found friends here, Guess what. I prefer it here. So,I hope you guys don't mind if I come back to play. I would rather be here with friends, rather than be home with enemies. If anyone wants to get more details, e-mail me and I will explain. Thanks again to all of you that have been there for me. RV - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 02:38:13 (CDT) Looks like a heck of a good time! It's good to see so many folks in the pics. There's no good excuse for me except job hunting all over; just not sure where I'll be one month to the next. Though wife & I will be back in Texas mid-September for the youngest's wedding. Until then its me off to work for her sister (argh!) until I find something better. ;) www.relia.net/~elifsey/ Eric Lifsey - Wednesday, July 28, 2004 at 01:56:25 (CDT) Hi Kim... I was a "Nice Jock"?? Oh good...I was hoping someone would remember "US" kindly. We were such Butts...arrogant, rude, self centered. "Nice jocks" is kind of an oxymoron, though, like "Military Intelligence." CSI of the mind is pretty close with Forensic psy...How are you? Sorry, I missed your band, B.Arnold. My musical talent lies in sitting in the audience, listening...I "CAN" dance though...Hi R.V., What's up?? The "Life According to Burton" was pretty cool. You never know who you touch when you share something like that...You have to find what makes you happy. I think everyone from the class of 74 are special. (I hope that made grammatical sense). Hey, anyone heard from Kent Smith?? Tom Porter - Tuesday, July 27, 2004 at 18:13:57 (CDT) Finally, I got caught up with a few things. We added another 10 pictures from the dinner/dance that Barb Pledger submitted (Thanks). We also updated James Burton, Mike Flickinger, Cory Conlin, and Angela Urrea Bios. You can access all of these from the home page. Sorry for not getting them up sooner!!!! Hey, if anyone else has some more pictures of the reunion, please send them and I will be glad to put them up. Jerry R - Tuesday, July 27, 2004 at 08:52:08 (CDT) Hey Jerry, I thought the date we had the reunion was OK. And the turn out was pretty good too. I know the guestbook really encouraged more folks to come than any other means of communication. I appreciate the hard work and continued support of it. Thanks Jerry and committee! Linda - Tuesday, July 27, 2004 at 08:29:53 (CDT) FYI - Last night, I had a fun conversation with a very nice class officer from the Class of 1974 from Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster, PA. He found our website. Here are a few of his comments. Referring to all of you, he said "Are you sure some of those photos weren't digitally enhanced, your classmates don't look anywhere near 48+ years old". He also watched our video and had some laughs and smiles - He said the following: "And, to think that I don't even know any of you folks from Utah. Then again, maybe there is a connection, ...the human connection!". He said they were having their 30 year reunion in October - Would that have been a better month for our reunion? Jerry R. - Tuesday, July 27, 2004 at 07:52:34 (CDT) I know many of us check in on the comments every few days. If something exciting is happening to you or someone you know, it would be great to hear about it. Thanks Bonnie - Monday, July 26, 2004 at 20:34:42 (CDT) Richard, sorry to hear your leaving, I really enjoy your chatter on the guestbook! Best of luck to you in whatever it is your doing!! keep smiling!! sheila stamey - Monday, July 26, 2004 at 18:13:18 (CDT) Rich... we are really going to miss you... If there is anything we can do let us know... Kim B - Friday, July 23, 2004 at 18:03:06 (CDT) Richard, sorry to see you leave. You will be missed. Thanks for helping keep this alive. JR. Jerry - Friday, July 23, 2004 at 09:30:23 (CDT) Brian, It was great listening to you (and your band) Wednesday nite, I love your voice! Keep us posted on your performances. I've also been looking for you at the Raptors games, will I ever see you there again? Karen Yosh - Friday, July 23, 2004 at 08:53:32 (CDT) Hey Rich, We going to miss you! Whatever the circumstances are I hope everything works out and as one of the committee members I would like to thank you for keeping the guest book going. Karen Yosh - Friday, July 23, 2004 at 08:35:25 (CDT) Due to circumstances beyond my control, This will be my last post. I want to thank Jerry and the committe for everything, and Thanks to every one who talked with me. I will try to make the 40th...No guarantees. Linda, thanks for being there when I needed someone to talk to. Trust me, this is for the best....Thank all of you once again...Rich Vine, Class of 74 RV - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 19:43:48 (CDT) For all of you rodeo fans, we're playing tonight (7/22) for an hour at the Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo from 6:30 to 7:30 pm(they're calling it "pre-rodeo") so pop in and say Hi. Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I think the music comes out because if your butt's in the saddle long enough, it's bound to jar something good out of you somewhere! B Arnold - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 15:09:08 (CDT) Barb, Burton. Sorry, I haven't put your pictures up on the website. I will get to them this weekend. I have been up to my eyeballs in a new website that is going live next week. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses:) Brian, it sounds like you are just awesome in the music department. That is great - keep it up. Jerry R. - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 12:30:27 (CDT) Kim, I'm bummed! I would have loved to hook up with you at Arnold's do. Sorry I missed it. Linda - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 08:18:16 (CDT) Sorry I couldn't make it Brian. Had some kid issues to deal with. When you playing at Red Rock next? Let me know. I go up there quite a bit. Jan and Ray are real good friends of mine. RV - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 07:22:56 (CDT) Thank you very much, Kim, I appreciate the nice comments. We have a lot of fun with the music & poetry thing. I tried to find you & Karen afterwards but you guys sneaked out. Burton, thanks for passing on that bit of wisdom. It really hits home. Tom, I think you're the winner! What an awesome career (both of them)! Best Wishes to all, and keep your cinches tight! B Arnold - Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 06:47:10 (CDT) Hey Jerry, I still don't see any of the pictures that I sent you, I hope there isn't a problem with them. Barb - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 21:53:13 (CDT) WELL... For those of you who missed Brian Arnold and band at the Ampitheater, what a loss!! Brian, you guys are great (I didn't know Kurt Argyle was in your band!!). It was really fun to listen to the song you wrote (I'm sure you've written many!), and other songs we don't hear every day! We just happened to be down town and came over. We had a great time. Kelly, it was great to see you there, and would have loved to talk to you. Hi Tommy Porter!! Boy I remember you! You, like Rex, were one of the "nice jocks". Hope we see you at future reunions.Tell me, is Forensic Psychology kind of like CSI for the mind? It sounds interesting. What do you think of Arnold? Burton, I'm still stunned you love Los Angeles? I'll figure it out someday... Kim B - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 21:37:56 (CDT) Not a problem Jim. I still think it is cool. RV - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 11:04:10 (CDT) First...WOW Tommy, I'm impressed by both occupations. Burton...welcome back! We've missed you and thanks for the bit of wisdom. Barb, Chris isn't coming to town. Her plans have changed but I would still LOVE to get with you, Kim, Karen and anyone else that wants to come. Call me and let's set it up. 451-6161 Linda - Wednesday, July 21, 2004 at 09:05:46 (CDT) Hey Linda, When's Chris coming back in town? Don't forget to let me know so we can get together okay? barb - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 20:46:37 (CDT) Sorry, I didn't think it was as long as it was...I only passed it on Rich...did'nt write it. Burton - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 17:38:53 (CDT) Burton.....I didn't know you were such a philosopher. That was WAY cool. Tom, you DEFINATELY won't remember me. Martial Arts rock!!! I studied a bit while I was in the Navy. RV - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 17:29:42 (CDT) George Carlin's Views on Aging Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life, you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone. But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!" May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!! HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay" them”. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. “An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil’s name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things. 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether its family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge. 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is. 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.☺ Burton - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 17:07:41 (CDT) Hi Tommy, Nice to hear from you…I know you don’t remember me, but a Forensic Psychologist, WOW, what a cool job. About how much time do you spend in court? A martial arts school, sounds like a hand full. A psychologist, who by virtue of training or experience may assist a court or other fact finder in arriving at a just or correct decision and can kick your butt also, sound like the prefect combination. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 16:35:56 (CDT) Hey Brian, I put your web information and calendar of events up on my work place bulletin board. Hope that it brings some extra people down to the amphitheatre tomorrow. A lot of people have asked about it. Good luck, I hope you pack them in.☺ Burton - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 15:57:36 (CDT) Sorry...that hobbie "is" a second job. I have practiced and taught martial arts since...well, started after high school ended. I didn't want to play college football, and I wanted to still be able to hit people, in a socially acceptable manner. I was opening my second Karate school and it's been a headache. My real job is as a Forensic Psychologist. I work will lots of bad guys. We all have our niche I guess. Hi John!!!!!! Hi Linda!!!!!!! Tom Tom Porter - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 14:52:38 (CDT) I plan on going Schwitz - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 14:39:15 (CDT) I see John has the hiccups again. Linda, it is just off Washington Blvd on 25th street. I am planning on going, so who else?? Good to hear from you Tom. Long time. RV - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 14:32:18 (CDT) Tom Porter Ill be damned. For years I have ask about you and wanted to know where you went and how you were doing. So answer those questions. It’s great to hear from you. Sounds like life is good. You did miss a good time. Check out the pictures they still make me laugh. Schwitz - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 11:07:01 (CDT) Tom Porter Ill be damned. For years I have ask about you and wanted to know where you went and how you were doing. So answer those questions.

Schwitz - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 11:03:50 (CDT) By the way Tommy, what hobbie is more important than your 30 reunion? Linda - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 10:33:13 (CDT) Hey Brian, where is the ampitheater? I assume somewhere in Ogden? Who all plans on attending? Kim, what about you and Karen? Linda - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 10:31:45 (CDT) Geez Tommy, you started this whole thing and then didn't attend! I was looking forward to seeing you :( Linda - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 10:27:32 (CDT) Hey Class of 74...Sorry I missed the big event...Got carried away with a hobbie, which has turned into a second job. I really wanted to make the 30th. Can anyone remember me? Do I owe any apologies to anyone? Do I owe anyone money? Just want to know what to expect when I come to the 40th...Hope you are all well. I was just checking the guest book to see how the reunion went. It sounds like it was great. Windsor, California Tom Tommy Porter - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 at 02:36:43 (CDT) So, Brian, how do I recognize you?? RV - Monday, July 19, 2004 at 22:37:30 (CDT) For all you former band members, look in Sundays paper. I saw where the present band is requesting help from former band members to play at homecoming and other events. I think there are some youngsters there who really want to be a part of a good band. I wish I could help, but I feel bless't to be able to play the radio. Rex - Monday, July 19, 2004 at 13:58:09 (CDT) For everyone who's coming to hear us, make sure you catch me and say Hello...I don't wear my glasses on stage and I probably won't recognize anyone except maybe Schwitzer without them. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and anyone there at the ampitheater on the 21st @ 7:00 pm.

I won’t miss the next reunion. The “Shot of the Day”, was a picture I took in Switzerland of the Alps over looking Lake Geneva from the Chillon Castle in Montreux. Thanks Kim for just want to say “HI” to me, it means a lot.☺ Burton - Monday, June 28, 2004 at 10:13:11 (CDT) Hey everyone! Thank you all of the members of the committee for such a fun weekend.

Linda, I'm hoping we keep our promise to keep in touch and that includes you too Tina! Tracy, Viv, Kathy and Rhonda, it was so great seeing you all. By the way, Jeff, what kind of water are you drinking???? Burton, I can't tell you how much I missed seeing you at the reunion. Put the 40 year in your day planner "NOW". By the way, what was the "shot of the day?". Dwight, I would love to come to a reception to celebrate your new marriage. Take care everyone!!! Kim Browne - Sunday, June 27, 2004 at 21:29:28 (CDT) Thanks to everybody, it wouldn't have been the same without you. I'm happy I saw so many of you and sorry I miss visiting with a few of you.

I'll be in the area end of July if anyone is interested in raising a cold one to old times. dan@danrollins.com Dan Rollins - Saturday, June 26, 2004 at 00:30:38 (CDT) Jeff, I gave my dad the corn dog in Corrine certificate so look for him and his friend Lyle. They like to drive up there once in a while. I was showing the reunion pic of you, Rick and me to my daughter's friend. Her response, "Wow, that guy's cute! He looks so much younger than you guys, who is he?!" I want to drink the water you and Susan are drinking to look young, what's the secret?!! Thanks to the committee for a great event. Rick kept talking about what a fun time he had. His reunion is this weekend for Davis High. Susan Inouye Spehar - Friday, June 25, 2004 at 18:05:37 (CDT) Hey Jerry, I heard you going thru Poky. A neighbor was with me and said "Listen to that poor guy with his horn stuck on". I let him know it was an old high school buddy who was a computer guru but couldn't fix a thing on his car:) Gary Packham - Friday, June 25, 2004 at 08:55:34 (CDT) Gary, I will honk as I drive through Pocatello tonight. Jerry Ropelato - Thursday, June 24, 2004 at 11:03:21 (CDT) Who won the oil change and golf game in Pocatello? I'm really lonely up here. I feel like the Maytag repair man. It was great seeing everyone again. Gary Packham - Thursday, June 24, 2004 at 10:29:08 (CDT) Jerry the pictures are great! I really did miss having a good time at the alumni night. Sorry iI missed seeing everyone. Dwight, I would love to attend an open house. I haven't seen anyone redeem their coupons for free gas. Corn dog gas or fuel. Look foreward to seeing you.

The pictures are great. ☺ Burton - Wednesday, June 23, 2004 at 11:23:16 (CDT) Thanks to all of you for sending in the pictures!

I haven't finished putting up all of the names under each of the pictures yet, but I thought I would at least start getting the pictures on the site. Jerry Ropelato - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 22:08:21 (CDT) Hi all, If any of you are home tomorrow (June 23) at 11:00am to 12:00pm and watching TV.

Only bad thing is I have to talk to Lyle just about every day. RV - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 04:54:06 (CDT) Dwight, is that mid-to-late May 2005 or did you just fat finger it? That would be WAY cool to see everyone regardless. By the way, Rich Vine, it was great talking with you and Lyle. And Tim I'm glad you were able to make it. For those that either had prior commitments or chickened out...so sorry! Linda - Monday, June 21, 2004 at 20:02:01 (CDT) Dwight…you are the man. You have since high school “WOW” me.☺ Burton - Monday, June 21, 2004 at 10:07:40 (CDT) HI EVERYONE, I AM SO SORRY I MISSED THIS REUNION, BUT I HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE OF A PRIOR TEACHING ENGAGEMENT THAT I PROMISED I WOULD NOT MISS. MANY PEOPLE DEPEND ON ME TO HELP THEM PASS THEIR MEDICAL BOARDS AND I HAD ALREADY AGREED TO GIVE LECTURES THAT FELL RIGHT ON THE REUNION DATE! I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THAT. HAVE SOME NEWS THOUGH. THEIR IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I MIGHT BE GETTING REMARRIED TO A GREAT WOMAN I MET FROM HUNGARY. SHE IS ONE OF THE KINDEST AND SWEETEST I HAVE EVER MET. NOW THAT MY CHILDREN ARE NEARLY GROWN AND I FEEL SUCH AN EMPTY NEST I FEEL LIKE HAVING AT LEAST ONE MORE. HER NAME IS BERNADETTE AND SHE IS FROM BUDAPEST. ANYWAY I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A RECEPTION IN OGDEN AND MY BROTHER, MARC, THE BEST DENTIST IN OGDEN HAS OFFERED TO LET ME USE HIS HOUSE. I WOULD LOVE FOR ANYONE FROM OUR CLASS TO ATTEND AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR YOU TO BRING A GIFT. I JUST WANT TO SEE EVERYONE AND FOR THEM TO MEET MY NEW BRIDE. I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH EVERYONE AND YOU CAN EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMING TO THE RECEPTION AT ddcollman@aol.com or call and leave a message on my cell phone at 561-305-8163 if I dont answer. I HAVE A NEW CELL SERVICE (METRO-PCS) AND SOME OF MY CALLS GET DIVERTED DIRECTLY TO MY VOICE MAIL. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT HOPEFULL Y THEY WILL EVENTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HOPE TO HAVE THE RECEPTION IN MID-LATE MAY. THE EXACT DATE HAS NOT BEEN DECIDED YET. I WILL KNOW SOON. WARMEST REGARDS TO ALL, DWIGHT Dwight Collman - Sunday, June 20, 2004 at 10:47:11 (CDT) I am trying to finish the reunion pictures on the website. If you have any pictures from the dinner/dance, please send them to me at jerry@TopTenReviews.com. Thanks. Jerry - Saturday, June 19, 2004 at 13:20:30 (CDT) Jerry, perhaps we could replace the committee members picture with one from the reunion. Jeff Manning - Friday, June 18, 2004 at 18:50:43 (CDT) Hey Kip - Did you ask your husband if he could remember the obnoxious guy sitting next to him in the airplane? Jeff, as far as the computers, I would have to learn how to type :) Jerry - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 23:24:28 (CDT) Great job Jerry. You should think of going into computers wgen you grow up. You could probably make a living at it. Jeff Manning - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 23:19:42 (CDT) Jerry Jerry, Thanks so much for the video. Thanks too for inviting me to crash the party. I had a great time. Kip - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 20:28:02 (CDT) Thanks Barb and Sheila for all your info on my dad it is a lot of fun to hear about how he was in high school.

RV - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 17:00:43 (CDT) Welcome back Jerry from a well deserved, if not short, rest. Thank you for the video, you did a GREAT job! Would you mind making the reunion pictures available too? I would love to send some of them out to friends that didn't make it. The ones that are part of the video. Thank you everyone for a wonderful reunion. Linda - Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 09:09:01 (CDT) My vacation is over. I had been asked by a number of you to put the video presentation up on the website. It is now available for your viewing enjoyment. There are two versions, I highly recommend downloading the broadband version (87 meg). The smaller version just lost too much in the compression, so for all of you dialup users, watch it at a friends house or start the download before you go to bed. PS-Any of you who have any pictures, I am ready to put them up on the website, so please send me what you have. I have recieved a few pictures already - thanks to all who have sent them. Jerry Ropelato - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 23:26:19 (CDT) Thanks everyone for attending the reunion. The thing that made it fun was such good people. We have a great class. Sorry I missed the Alumni night, but three flat tires on the boat trailer on the way home from Lake Powell made it impossible to get there. Next reunion we will have it some where where we don't havew to leave by midnight. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks to all on the committee!Catch you on Mr. Jeff's neighborhood. (Thanks John) Jeff Manning - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 22:29:04 (CDT) Samantha, I used to know your dad pretty good back in the day, his girlfriend was my best friend. We had alot of fun times! He has a wonderful family of great brothers and they are all very handsome!! But I have to say... There's no doubt about it your dad is just as good looking as he ever was, and very much a gentleman. I wish I would have been able to visit with him on Friday.BOP Barb Obin,Pledger - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 21:49:41 (CDT) Hey everyone who came to the reunion!! It was great to see all of you.

BOP Barb Obin Pledger - Wednesday, June 16, 2004 at 21:18:06 (CDT) I know a few of us would like to know where Johns band is playing so we could check it out. I realy enjoyed it so John let us know when and where. It might be a good time to get a few of us together again. And I know Brian wasnt there but I can say check that band out also Its worth the time. so you guys keep up posted. Schwitz - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 20:45:13 (CDT) Mike, you have made it this far, but I like your style. So, for the record, put me next to Mike at the next reunion if I pass before it happens. Ya'll might have to get a shovel or two going, but I agree with Mike on this one. RV - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 19:23:39 (CDT) What a fun two days..It was a thrill to see everyone and a real joy to play at the dance. We took alot of great pictures and will get them to Jerry to post once he has recovered from a well deserved bresk. And a special thanks to Schwitz (the bowling champ)for sharing what I really look like in a speedo!!! J. Newton - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 12:09:59 (CDT) Smantha, I remember your father very well. I used to date his friend Myron Baker. Your dad was a great guy... always shy but very friendly. He was always very good looking and still is!! Why is it that gray hair on men is distinguished, and just old on women?? well anyway he is still way good looking. You should be very proud of him as I'm sure he is of you!! Lets see it can't be all good with parents... so I'll tell you we used to party just a little! sheila stamey - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 09:22:36 (CDT) When I die, I want to end up at the Class of 74 reunion. Thanks everyone for a great time Mike Vaughn - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 09:12:45 (CDT) Wow!! what a great time on friday night! I'm so very glad I came, it was a blast to see everyone. It was almost like we never left those years. It looks like time was good to everyone because some of you didn't look a day older than when I left in 1972. Thanks to the committe for all the hard work, it was a huge success! I will never miss another one! I wish the very best of what life has to offer to you my classmates and friends.Thanks again everyone!!!! sheila stamey - Tuesday, June 15, 2004 at 09:11:47 (CDT) John your wife is a doll.

I’ll have to send an updated picture to Jerry to post on the web site. I heard the picture you have, is out dated. Thanks again to the reunion committee. So when is the next one? ☺ Burton (Fred) - Monday, June 14, 2004 at 12:59:20 (CDT) Once again, thaks to everyone for a great time.

I am sure I missed a great time on Saturday but hope you all enjoyed being together! Thanks to those who walked me out and talked to my husband also. Schwitzer you are still an animal!

For you choir buffs, Mr. Morris was camped 20 yards from me in Cedar City, there also for the Summer Games. Had a nice chat, he said to tell everyone hello. B. Arnold - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 17:17:08 (CDT) After hearing all of the great comments about the reunion, now I'm really mad at myself. I'm glad it turned out great for all of those smarter than me. (That would be pretty much everyone!) RV, I too had a daughter in the RHS Class of '04. Don't feel bad about the longest hair, I'm sure I'd have the longest moustache! By the way, I neglected to put some of my personal info up, so here it is. I live at 5036 S. 3100 W. here in Roy, and can be reached on my cell phone at (801)547-2527. A toast to the Class of 1974... Yol Bolsun!! (May there be a road for all of us) B. Arnold - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 17:14:02 (CDT) I just wanted to say that, coming from a spouse, one who was NOT a class of 74'; you guys made all of us feel like we were a part of you. We had SO MUCH fun with ya'll, it was like having a reunion for ourselves too. I feel sorry for anyone who missed this reunion, because it was the best. The people were the best. The entire set-up was the best. AND LETS NOT FORGET THE VIDEO (I think the video added so many smiles real)!!! The LAUGHS everyone had ~ what a blast!!! This night wasn't just about the popular kids, it was about EVERYONE! Thank you for making us spouses feel so much a part of you guys ~ it was FUN ~ FUN ~ FUN!!! Kana ~ Spouse of Lyle Biddle - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 16:29:48 (CDT) Thanks John and to the whole committee for a great reunion. I'm just sorry that I missed the other two. It was nice to see everyone. Looking forward to the next one. MAC MaryAnn <jcmc1@earthlink.net> Ogden, UT USA - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 16:20:30 (CDT) Thanks to the committee for all the hard work and countless hours. Everything came together very well. You all did a fantastic job. From the video, to the band, to seeing everyone it was great. Now none of us have an excuse to be strangers. We have the web that we can stay in contact. Thanks again, good luck to everyone in their future. Pam J - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 16:09:33 (CDT) Hats off to the Committee. This event was well done. I can tell a significant amount of time went into planning this event. Gina and I had a great time. I really enjoyed talking with everyone that I could. If anyone is ever in Kansas City, be sure to give us a call! Dan and Gina Richardson Dan Richardson - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 16:04:30 (CDT) It was almost sad to see the reunion end last night. Working with all of you committee members over the last year has been a pleasure and an honor – thank you for your friendship. I had a wonderful experience over the last few days and I will never forget it. Even my wife Darinda, a Bonneville graduate, had a great time. I am just an opinion of one, but it appeared to me that everyone really enjoyed the reunion. I was really pleased to see some of the conflicts that were once a part of the High School experience, had been completely erased. Many of you talked about your reservations in coming because of fears of past High School experiences, but I noticed all of you had huge smiles. Over the last few days, I tried to talk to every single person that attended. After looking at all of the pictures, I believe I only missed 3 or 4 of you – I will catch you next time around. To Jeff Manning, John Schwitzer, Gary Packham, and John Newton – outstanding delivery of your parts of the program – you all hit home-runs. As my kids would say - You were awesome! I saw so many friends over the last few days that I haven’t seen for ages – I just hope it isn’t another 5 or 10 years before we get together again. I noticed there were tons of digital cameras clicking away last night. If you will share those precious pictures with us, I would be happy to put them up on the website (I am going to take a few days off first). Some of you have sent emails this morning about the video presentation. I will see what we can do about that, so stay tuned into the website for more on that. Everyone, thank you for sharing your time over the last few days to create some lasting memories. You are all truly the best!!!! Jerry Ropelato - Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 15:48:42 (CDT) My turn! What a great job the committee did! It was so much fun seeing everyone again! John,your band is fabulous! And Lynn does live 3 houses away from me! Linda, your pictures are great! This ones for Cynthia, Lonnie is still "way cute" (what a lucky gal you are). And so is Rod Stoker! It was great to see him. What a dancer you are! I'm hoping that everyone does try to keep this site active. Happy lifes to all!

I didnt plan on staying so late last night becuse we were up early for the golf tourney, but I was glad I did and I never got to talk to everyone I wanted to, there was so many. I owe a few people a beer tonight (Linda and Rich and mabey a few more) But I enjoyed talking to whoever I could and I hope I got the chance to talk to the Duckness who ever you are. See you tonight Schwitz - Saturday, June 12, 2004 at 13:46:12 (CDT) Samantha. what a Sweet girl you are for taking the time to chat with all of us old folks.

I'm looking forward to seeing most of you again tonight. Thanks commitee for such a great job!

RV - Friday, June 11, 2004 at 14:32:51 (CDT) Ducky Dude, after your message, you have got to do what you said to others, otherwise, he with so much wisdom is wasting it for naught. I for one can relate to everything you said. But, I will be there, am proud of who I am, what I became, and the life I lead. Hope to meet you and shake your hand at the festivities. Thank you for the wise words, and the inspiration to all of the ones who felt as you. You are a true ROYAL!!

RV - Thursday, June 10, 2004 at 19:28:30 (CDT) I had a struggle with my feelings for 28 years, to the point that I almost decided not to attend the reunion at all. But last year I finally came to grips with myself and resolved alot of my feelings. I finally realized that I was a fun guy to tease and that I made it pretty hard for people not too. Many times I laughed on the outside and cried on the inside. I was bitter and angry, and I was hurting no one but myself. It was when I accepted responsibilty for myself, I begin to heal. No one could make me feel the way I felt without my allowing it. And if I wanted everyone to know who I am, I would ask forgiveness for harboring emotions that went unchecked for years, which did them no harm, but was a source of my remorse and guilt. As I have read "guestbook comments" I have sensed some frustrations from some of the contributors. I wonder how many others have feelings and are not going to add comments or attend the reunion. To those people, please reconsider, find in your heart the sense of independence to free those feelings and rise above your history. Be greatful for all your friends, both good and bad, for they all have changed your life a little. Make all this work for you, by letting life be good to you, by not beating yourself down, with the frustrations of youth. Please, join your classmates in this celabration of life, for in it, we have journeyed together. Sir Royal Duckness - Thursday, June 10, 2004 at 19:03:30 (CDT) Hey Schwitzer, I got an e-mail from Lynn Horspool today.

RV - Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 18:01:34 (CDT) Has anyone seen Dennis Wood. The last I heard he was getting married to a girl from Hooper, I think it was Lyle Trease sister. Pam Jackson - Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 18:01:12 (CDT) Yo, Burtonski, I thought I recognized a whole lots of names at that graduation. I listened for a bunch of alumnist names and heard quite a few. My brat is taking some time off from school and is seeing the country for two weeks. Then off to some wierd fashion design school somewhere RV - Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 17:53:48 (CDT) Hey Rich…I saw that your daughter graduated from Roy High this year. You know there were other that has sons or daughters graduate from Roy also. Ann Coleman Stewart’s son, Jeff Manning’s son. I’m very proud of my daughter as I know you are of yours. My daughter is back at the ATC on June 14, full time, Monday – Thursday 40 hours a week and then starts up at Weber this fall carrying 15 credit hours… Oh… to be young. ☺ Burton - Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 17:18:52 (CDT) Burton, so sorry to hear you won't be there, I was really looking forward to meeting you! You really are the one that keeps this guestbook going. Well the best of luck to you!! I'll see you at the 35th reunion OK? Michelle, It's good to hear from you and know your'e doing well. I don't know if you remember me, but you should. Anyway... just wanted to say hello!!!! Brian, Hello to you! sheila stamey - Wednesday, June 09, 2004 at 09:30:53 (CDT) Mechelle, it's to bad you can't make it to the reunion. I have fond memories of our friendship early in life, even though we lost touch in high school, I remember what a pretty lady you are. My husband and I spend much time in St. George golfing! Sky Mountain is one of our favorites. Burton, I'm really upset that you aren't coming to the reunion. You must have a reason. Maybe you could work it in?? B the way, I don't think "Sir Royal Duckness" is anything like "Somebody".... He's much to nice... Once again, since I'm so naive, what does "Keep your Tips Up" mean? Is it skiing???? duhh.... See you all Friday!! Kim BC - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 19:27:01 (CDT) Anyone know anything about the Kanesville group? Robyn Dehart, Connie Redford, Susan Nicholson or any of the rest? RV - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 17:50:52 (CDT) Burton, Sorry to hear you won't be making it to the reunion. I was hoping to shake the hand of one of the mainstays of this forum. We had kids go to school together as well. My daughter graduated from Roy last week. We will miss you. Rich Vine - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 17:18:26 (CDT) Greetings everyone from the Great Southwest of Utah.

Timing: Its Timing.....We hope that everyone has a Great time........We will think of those who are not with us today, but forever in our hearts......and Minds.... Mechelle "Dominguez" Michel "Mike" Flickinger Mechelle"Dominguez"Flickinger - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 15:30:15 (CDT) Burton, I too am sorry I can't say thanks to you in person. You have been an integral part of the guestbook. You may not be aware, but on average we have about 70 of our classmates coming to the guestbook, every single day - you have made it the success that it is. Thank-you. PS-we are going to keep this live long after the reunion. We are also going to update the website with pictures from all of the reunion events. Thank-you Burton!!!! We will miss you!!!!!! Jerry Ropelato - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 15:18:33 (CDT) Dear Guestbook, I’m sorry, that I will not be coming to the reunion. I’m the King of Bad Decisions. I guess this is just one more on a long list of other. I don’t think that I’m the “Ring Master” as Linda puts it. Linda and Kim are the ones who have me coming back to read what they have to say and John, Brian, Mike, Jerry, Tina, and even S. R. Duck. By the way, Halvern is a subdivision on the north end of Roy. It was a great place to live and grow up. The people I grow up with are the greatest friends a person could ask for. I hope you all have a great time. The Reunion Committee has done a great job and should be thanked, so THANK YOU. Thank you, Linda and Kim (Kim make sure S. R. Duck doesn't turn into "somebody")for making me a part of the Guestbook. Always remember “To Keep Your Tips Up”. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 09:48:07 (CDT) What do you mean you aren’t coming to the reunion Jim? How can the Ring Master not perform at the circus we call Alumni night? I think I speak for most everyone when I say you have contributed hugely to the success of the guestbook and reacquainting fellow classmates. It would be a real shame not to be able to thank you in person. Linda - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 07:39:23 (CDT) Kim, when I was in college there was a fellow who called everybody Duck. I was from Roy, so I became 'Sir Royal Duckness'. It was fun and the name stuck with my new friends. I was proud of any name that had the name Royal in it. I thought I'd use it now for a mystery fun thing. A little game. There are a few guys I went to school with who might remember, but I don't know if they read the guestbook. I am sorry Burt and Brian can't make it. I'm not from Hooper. This is kind of a weird game I know, but it's funny what one will do when he has to much time on his hands. Sir Royal Duckness - Tuesday, June 08, 2004 at 00:14:35 (CDT) OK. Who are you Sir Royal Duckness.... I think that was in a movie... i.e., Pretty in Pink.. Kim BC - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 20:53:50 (CDT) Burton.... I may be naive, but, why aren't you coming to the reunion..? Kim BC - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 20:51:08 (CDT) Vern Stokes actually lives in Farmington, married, has 1 girl & 1 boy. He does work for the state and his passion is windsurfing. He travels to the Columbia River Gorge (som sort of windsurfing Mecca) as often as he is able. Last I heard of Eddie Saxton, he lived in Morgan. Quien sabe? It's really great to see evryone's pictures and read what's going on. Schwitzer, I'm glad I'm not the only one that never grew up...you're my hero! B.

RV - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 10:58:15 (CDT) Hey Pam, Vern Stokes is around, lives in East Layton or Fruit Heights, works for the State. I've asked around but not sure what happened to Eddy. Mike - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 09:01:37 (CDT) Thank you Tina... Burton - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 07:20:09 (CDT) Linda/Burton The mom who hit Henninger over the head was Judy Penrod's mom. She was hilarious. I'm so excited to see everyone. Tina Vitello Muscolino - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 06:53:21 (CDT) I had no idea that the Hooper group was so tight, it's fun for me to read about your excitment and anticipation. However, it does cause me to pause in deep reflection, as I try to recall if any kids from Roy High were from Roy? I hear 'Hal Vern', and I can't remember if that guy was from Roy or Hooper? From what I read he must be one cool dude! It is fun to see old friends share in this 'guestbook' their friendship, with all that we have to deal with in this world, its truly refreshing. To see all of the successful people I went to school with, to relate to the struggles some have had, and to know we have all traveled this space of time together. This has huge meaning to me. Thanks for sharing your stories on the home link. A big thanks to Jerry, THANKS! And last of all, its nice to see that John Schwitzer has a sense of humor, I didn't think he had one when we were in school! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day! Sir Royal Duckness - Monday, June 07, 2004 at 00:55:51 (CDT) Brian Arnold or any Hooper guys, do any of you remember Vern Stokes or Eddie Saxton. Do you know where they are? Pam Jackson - Sunday, June 06, 2004 at 18:06:19 (CDT) Ray its been a long time since all the Hooper gang has been together. Hope everyone will be there. Can't wait to see you and catch up. Pam Jackson - Sunday, June 06, 2004 at 17:52:15 (CDT) Hey Jon, was great seeing you after the millenium I was gone. Thanks again Bonnie. Will see you all there RV - Sunday, June 06, 2004 at 12:11:16 (CDT) Hi Mike We still live in Clinton we built a new house. Preston is married and has a baby. She is so cute. He's going to Weber State and works at Sportsman Warehouse. How is Carter? By the way thanks for being a great coach. Lorie Kim I'm trying to talk Jeanie and Leonard into coming Friday night. Will you be there? It would be fun to see you! Lorie Poll - Sunday, June 06, 2004 at 10:12:26 (CDT) Hi Susan! And hi everyone! Susan, I just sent you an email. Sorry my information wasn't listed along with our picture. I must have done something wrong submitting it. Jerry is going to post it for me (thank you). I've been enjoying reading about what everyone's been doing. It's hard to believe 30 years have passed. Patty Crunk Evans - Saturday, June 05, 2004 at 22:56:24 (CDT) Hey all of you. I got a call from Packham, and he told me all about this. I've sent my money, can't wait to see all of you. How is all the Hooper gang? Thanks to all the committee members for all the work they have done. It should be a fun time. Ray Christensen - Saturday, June 05, 2004 at 11:14:27 (CDT) Patty Crunk Evans email me!!!! Susan Inouye Spehar - Saturday, June 05, 2004 at 01:43:53 (CDT) Yes Jim, you're right. Her first name was Judy, Judy Dance and Charmalee was there too because after the trip we all met at her mom's to show pictures. Wow...long time ago. Is Charmalee coming? Has anyone heard from her? Linda (Smith) Wright - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 18:33:09 (CDT) Linda, when he (Heninger) came through the guy’s tee-pee, we all sleep through it too. I remember the hike and the cold. I remember going down to a lake and swimming. That water was so cold. I’ll have to dig through my pictures to see if I can find then. It seems like Lynn Horspool was there and Gregg Hinds, and Charmalee (Chuck) Blakeley, but it has been along time. There were a lot of 11th grade girl, Brenda Brown comes to mind. Was it Susan Dance’s mom who hit Heninger? If I can find those pictures.☺ Burton - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 15:04:48 (CDT) Yeah Jim that was the same year! I can see her face but can't remember who it was that hit him. Believe it or not I slept through the whole thing! Do you remember the hike and sleep over in the mountains? it was SO cold. We started our fire in the snow with Chris's Lysol which she carried everywhere with her...it was a lot of fun. I hope you can find your pictures too! Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 14:00:11 (CDT) Linda, I went the year the Mr. Heninger shot the bear. I forgot I had those pictures somewhere. I thought it was the summer between our 10th and 11th grade. Someone’s mother hit Mr. Heninger over the head with a shoe, the night he dressed up as a bear and was going through the tee-pees. I thought that I went the first year they did the camp. The bus they got was too small for all of us and our stuff. We had to sit three to a seat and/or on the floor. It was one of the funnies things I did in school. ☺ Burton - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 11:58:01 (CDT) Hey Burt, it must have been between 10th and 11th. That's when my hair was really short. I didn't go the next year. That year Mr Heninger shot a bear in camp. Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 11:38:52 (CDT) Hey Linda, I was just looking at your profile and the pictures of Biology Camp. What year is that? Was it between our 10th and 11th grade (summer) or was it the camp between our 11th and 12th grade (summer)? ☺ Burton - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 11:19:39 (CDT) Lorie Sheridan, do you still in touch with Jeannie Hymas? Chris (Tina) was asking about all of you including Georgia and Teri. It looks like Chris will be coming after all. Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 10:07:21 (CDT) LOL! Thank you Master Ring Leader! I hope a lot of classmates will be able to join us. Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 09:56:31 (CDT) Linda, I know you are waiting for John to tell you about some watering holes, but I can’t see you in a hole, so, here are my favorite places to go for a drink with friends. (Even though I don’t drink, many of my friends do). The City Club, 264 25th Street, Rooster’s Brewing Co, 253 25th Street, Brewski’s, 244 25th Street, Teazers 366 36th Street. I work in the area of down town Ogden and we go to lunch and after work to these places. They all have great food too. For micro brewery, Red Rudy, Riverdale Road, is a great steak place, where you can enjoy home made beers. I’m not sure how late some of these places stay open, but I think most stay open late. Hope this helps. ☺ Burton - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 08:24:58 (CDT) Hey John S., still waiting on the watering hole location. It would be great if a lot of you can make it Friday after the alumni do. Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 07:38:59 (CDT) No, funny you should ask about Tommy. He's been on my mind too. He kind of got the ball rolling and then dropped out of site. He should be aware of this website from Classmates.com. Hey Burt, I was just thinking how you've kind of been the ring leader in keeping the chat going on...Way to Go! And of course Jerry for the hard work on the site itself. Linda Smith (Wright) - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 07:37:20 (CDT) The last 30 years have just flown buy! Has anyone heard from of about Tommy Porter? Sir Royal Duckness - Friday, June 04, 2004 at 01:20:20 (CDT) Rhonda also works for the IRS.☺ Burton - Wednesday, June 02, 2004 at 10:59:56 (CDT) I can tell you where Rhonda is - She lives next door to me in Huntsville. Her email is: RCGgll@aol.com. Jerry R. - Wednesday, June 02, 2004 at 07:49:49 (CDT) Hi Kathy! Do you know where Rhonda is? I can't wait to catch up with her as well as the rest of the Halvern group. Schwitzer, you look fabbbbulous! TAB (Tracie) - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 at 23:52:42 (CDT) Kathy (N) J, I’m glad you finally signed in (updated your profile). I was starting to think that I had to make another trip up to your house. (not that this would be a bad thing). Glad to see that you are going. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 at 10:39:06 (CDT) Kathy, Great to hear from you, I am looking forward to seeing you on Friday night. I hope to see Rhonda and Lola there as well.I wonder if Valorie Metzler is coming?? sheila - Monday, May 31, 2004 at 12:37:05 (CDT) Hi Lorie! It's great to here from you. I think the last time I saw you was at a Weber State basketball game. How is the family? I'll call you sometime this week. Is Preston one of your children? By the way... I didn't think John looked so bad for 48!! (or 47). It sounds like the Halvern group is coming out of the wood work!! Hi Kathy! Kim BC - Sunday, May 30, 2004 at 15:59:00 (CDT) Jeff and Cynthia, CALL ME! Kathy Newell Jorgensen - Saturday, May 29, 2004 at 23:52:22 (CDT) Yes I'm Halvern gal! Lola where are you? Rhonda are you coming? Hey Jim, nice to talk to you. Kim A, where you been? Yes I'll be there friday night. John S how are you cuz? Kathy Newell Jorgensen - Saturday, May 29, 2004 at 23:47:39 (CDT) Hey John, there is alot to catch up on. I tried to look you up a few times when passing through but no one was ever home at the time I guess. It will be good to visit with alot of my old friends that I have thought about over the years. I saw Burgin's dad at the store one night passing through, I thought that he'd a died long ago but looked the same. ta Tim Faust - Saturday, May 29, 2004 at 10:10:00 (CDT) Hey Faust, great to hear your still alive and kickin. We have a lot to get caught up on. I have a lead on Pat Goodin and will be getting ahold of her. John Newton - Friday, May 28, 2004 at 17:23:02 (CDT) Linda, looks like Lorie found herself...☺ Burton - Friday, May 28, 2004 at 10:02:20 (CDT) Hi Lorie, It's good to see you on here. Do you still live in Clinton? How's Preston? Mike - Friday, May 28, 2004 at 09:06:39 (CDT) Hi Kim, How are you? I havent seen you for ever! Are you going to any of the reunion activities? Call me @645-3956 I'd like to see you! Lorie Poll (Sheridan) - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 22:54:36 (CDT) I was just sitting here haveing a beer with Jerry Russell and i said if Barb oben dont show up it would break my heart. Schwitz - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 22:49:27 (CDT) A little too much info there John. Some nice pics though RV - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 19:20:26 (CDT) we still have room for more golfers Ill update and send what i have to jerry schwitz - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 19:18:43 (CDT) Any Tee times left? Jim - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 18:02:06 (CDT) Hey Burton, I can't remember but Tina does. She married her high school sweetheart from Bonneville High. Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 16:43:57 (CDT) Hey Linda, Not to jump into your conversation with Leonard, but I uses to see Lorie Sheridan at IRS. Do you know what Lorie’s last name is now? ☺ Burton - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 14:54:53 (CDT) Hey Schwitzer, I just looked at your pictures on our website. Keep your day job! I am sure that is a wig you had on :) Jerry R - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 14:33:23 (CDT) Wow Tim, I've met both girls and didn't realize the oldest was yours. She's very nice young woman, you'd be proud. Bobby got into drugs and was shoot while breaking into a home, we think he thought it was his girlfriends. But of course the homeowners didn't know that and he was high on drugs at the time. Really sad. Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 11:54:45 (CDT) Linda, Yes it is/was Karon her oldest child is mine, I've seen 1 time when she was 4 yrs old & looked just like my little brother. How did Bob die? Any one know anything about Pattie Goodin? There is so many that I wish/hope to see that the list would be too long for here. ta Tim Faust - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 11:05:51 (CDT) Hey Brian, since you won't be at the party, when are you going to share some of your stuff you've written with us? Maybe you could email it to me, I'd like to read it. I've been to a few of those cowboy poetry fests but I haven't seen you there. Mike - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 09:33:50 (CDT) Dang John, you ARE old if you remember the 4 R's I used to listen to them too. I have heard Brian's group but didn't realize who he was at the time. Brian, we will have to get together and do a little jammin' I started playing in the 8th grade and have been in a couple of bands when I was in the Navy.I play mostly country and some 50's and 60's Rock and Roll. RV - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 08:01:07 (CDT) Hey Leonard, ask Jeanie to get on-line. Tina Muscolino has been asking about her and Lorie Sheridan. She's coming in for the reunion and we would love to meet up with the gang. Also anyone hear from Georgia Jeppeson or know where she is? Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 07:49:56 (CDT) Yes Rod, that's me...or was me. These days the Dr only lets me stroll over to the gym to work out. I messed my hip up and can only do low impact stuff now. I think my little sis (Judy O'Brien) is in your bldg. I think she's a planner too. Where's Susan now days? Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 07:46:50 (CDT) Hey Richard, yes I still work in bldg 100. I did a stint in 225, years ago. I wander over there now and again to the resturant. You must know Adrian Gustai? He use to provide computer support to that bldg. I work with him now and that's what I do in bldg 100. Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 27, 2004 at 07:44:17 (CDT) Mike O'Brien, Mike Quinn, Dave Drake, Doug Baird what are these friday night get togethers I'm missing call me.

I herd some of your music I must say im impressed A chip of the old block if you get my drift (remember the 4 R's) Schwitz - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 22:32:15 (CDT) Linda I see you walking around the base all the time. I hope it is you any way and not some one else and I'm just stupid. I work in Bldg. 238 as a Planner. Susan say's hi. Rodney - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 16:31:45 (CDT) I really don't like updating the "In Memory Of" section - We found out that Carla Clemens has passed away. Jerry R. - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 14:25:55 (CDT) Linda, Do you still work in 100? I am in 225, and work for MABWST Training RV - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 13:23:42 (CDT) Jerry, none of those old movies were as scary as that one you took me to---I forget the title---at the Kanesville Cinema about the time Lynn Horspool got married. Mike - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 11:40:30 (CDT) Brian, not much dancing going on these days! to busy working. but the lessons will never be a waste, what wonderful memories!!! THANKS. Hey wern't you playing at the festival in Woodruff?? you know what one I mean, can't say the name, we got an invite but couldn't make it.Sorry I missed you! sheila - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 09:19:29 (CDT) Yes, Jerry, I do remember that night and the movie. I still have a lot of wicked ways, though it did save me a bunch of cash not going to another scary movie...EVER! Still swing dancin' Sheila? I'd hate to think all my teaching went to waste! B Arnold - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 09:00:32 (CDT) Yhanks to Jerry for his help, it did not work as I wished it had. but the fight rages. Sorry I cant make it to the reunion, but working in a casino, I have prior commitments. I was really looking forward to seeing all of you this year as it has been about 5 years since I have been in Utah. Vivian Montoya, I live 60 miles from you and would stop by to say hello. as my whole family lives in the tri-cities. Lyle Biddle, Richard Vine, and the rest of the "over the hill gang", I will be in Utah in November for a day or 2 ( Kristy, My daughter has been dead 10 years). Any one want to talk e-mail me again thanks Jerry for your help Have a great reunion as I am definatly going to be at the 35 year reunion Steve Thomas - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 08:44:32 (CDT) Hey Rod, I worked with your wife when I first started in bldg 100 on base. And if you recall saw you two at one of the Ogden Street Festivals. Also we went to Roy Jr together. I saw your sister Debbie too, she's friends with my friend Janet. Hope you can make it, say Hi to Susan! Linda (Smith) Wright - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 08:25:33 (CDT) Hey Tim, Are you talking about Karen? She lives up in Washington state and is single. Very nice gal, I've met her a couple times. I'm friends with Bobby's mom and his family use to live by me in Roy. Yeah it was REALLY tragic the way he died. He had so much going for him. Linda (Smith) Wright - Wednesday, May 26, 2004 at 08:20:59 (CDT) Linda, yes Bob& I did do some running in high school but he didn't make it to graduation, he went miltary b4 the end. He did marry my high school sweetheart & divorced b4 the 5 yr. reunion. I sure was stunned to find out that he is dead but it didn't shock me too much. ta Tim Faust - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 22:32:50 (CDT) Brian, reading your emails, brought back an old memory - Do you remember when a group of us went to SLC to see the movie the Exorcist - I remember it scared the daylights out of us. I remember we all said we would give up our wicked ways. Jerry R. - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 15:57:15 (CDT) Hey Tim, I remember you! Didn't you run around with Bobby Stirland and then you went to St Joseph? Linda (Smith) Wright - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 15:16:51 (CDT) Cool John. My oldest brother Bill has worked there for years. As far as the rest of you, hope to see all of you there RV - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 14:23:03 (CDT) Kim and Linda, That’s funny...Lola, Kathy, Ronda, and Valerie all grow up in Hal Vern and were friends. But the names I was thinking about was Patty, Ann, Jay, Cindy, Valerie, Wayne, David, Pauline, and Sandra. (Eugene Jay and Steve Kida, who both have passed away.) (I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone...old age does it to you.) We all spent a lot of time together during our school days. Do you think that it’s funny how you remember things and other don’t remember the same events? Or they remember something that you had forgotten and wish that they had too. After all, we were all just kids. I guess it good for the soul and mind to think back to those days. Seeing each other again, old feeling resurfacing, good times and bad times. I'll get down off the soap box now...I guess that’s enough talk from the Book of James. Life... ☺ Burton - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 12:20:27 (CDT) Hey Brian, long time no see. How's things? Mike, unfortunately I do one occasionally. Tim, I remember you! It will be great to see you again!! sheila - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 11:02:40 (CDT) Hello to all, (all that remember me) Hear is an oldie-- try Tim Faust from jr.high- Packam just found me in north Id. & it IS amazing how much you can remember when you dust off the old books & go through the pictures. Looks like I will try to make to the festivities,if no one will kick my ----. Tim Faust Tim Faust - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 09:58:26 (CDT) OK, who's the TV star? I've seen Garth on the commercials but Sheila too? Mike - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 09:52:43 (CDT) Did I just receive a comment from a TV STAR?!!!! I believe I did!(Hi, Sheila) It really is great to hear what everyone is doing and how they are. Schwitz, I'll see you around..you're working with Greg Martinez, correct? B Arnold - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 08:32:42 (CDT) Dave Drake, didn't he have the nickname of "Bloop" and his parents have have a huge "D" on it? Funny the memories that flood back :) Linda (Smith) Wright - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 08:10:01 (CDT) Thanks Kim! Sorry John, glad she's not dead but sorry about the marriage. Thanks Burton, I remembered after Kim reminded me. I remember most of those folks too. Linda (Smith) Wright - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 07:56:27 (CDT) Hi Linda, There was a group that I grow up with, girls and guys. All lived with in a few blocks from each other. We were all pretty good friends, some of us closer than others, but all good friends. When you are young, you think you will be best friends for life. But in the really world, it doesn’t happen like that. While going through the classmates profiles, none of this group has updated their profile. So, I was just trying to see if any of them are out there. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, May 25, 2004 at 07:29:29 (CDT) Annette Racker, it was good to read your biography. How are you and your heart doing? Hope all is well and that you can make it to the reunion. Jeff - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 23:22:58 (CDT) Oh yes Linda My ex being removed Shes not dead. Schwitz - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 22:57:46 (CDT) Hey TAB So you got to see my girls huh what do you think? Rich im just working at Kimberly Clark And playing golf oh ya Kim me and Tracy kept a low profile. dont forget Fred Chavez in that Hal Vern group Schwitz - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 22:54:43 (CDT) Sheila I remember you, How you and Garth doing.Mike Quinn Dave Drake Doug Baird & Mickey Riddle, last friday was a gas. Give me a call on the next one. I'll definitely be there. Mike O"Brien - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 22:33:05 (CDT) YES..!!!!!! I JUST ANSWERED YOURS!!!!!! Kim BC - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 21:31:20 (CDT) Kim, do you EVER answer your e-mails? Linda (Smith) Wright - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 20:12:39 (CDT) John.... once a dork always a dork.. Shirley, I just noticed you live in Shalimar, FL. I was just in your neighborhood!! My Aunt lives in Santa Rosa beach. I couldn't believe how much it's grown down there. Are you going to make it to the reunion? The Hal Vern group (I really never knew how it was spelled) is north Roy, i.e. Lola Ray, Kathy Newl, Ronda Coburn and Valerie Metzler are the ones I remember. Tracy, I don't remember you and John S (having a "thing going on"). Brian, what's more important than your 30 year reunion?.. KAREN.... ARE YOU OUT THERE?!?!?! Kim BC - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 18:42:32 (CDT) Hey, Brian I'm sorry to hear you can't make it. I was looking forward to seeing you. You are probably one of the few that will remember me!! I hope James Price is coming it's been a long time since I've seen him. Have to tell you I love this guestbook, I can't wait to log on each day to see what everyone has to say!! Keep writing!! sheila - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 13:43:16 (CDT) OK Burton, I give up...what's the Hal Vern group? Linda (Smith) Wright - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 13:34:17 (CDT) Susan, I don't know about cool but we had a great time in choir especially the trip to Spokane! John, I am not trying to frame you and I saw your ex yesterday at my nephew's farewell. I should have said "John says hi"! James Price I will never forget all the help (I was cheating) you gave me in our Science class and all the fun we had with Mike Quinn. Do you still stay in touch with Mike? I hope your not slaving too much. Will you be coming to the reunion? I would love to catch up with you. Brian Arnold we will miss you. TAB - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 12:32:16 (CDT) Thanks to everyone on the committee and especially with the website. As I mentioned before, I can't make the festivities, so the website has been my reunion. I hope this encourages some of you to send in your info for the benefit of those that can't make it. Thanks Again!!!! Brian Arnold - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 11:16:26 (CDT) Hey Susan, nice to hear from you and I apologize to anyone I might have offended from my ranting earlier. You know you think those memories are far behind you and then a reunion brings them all back! John I hope by "removed" you don't mean died? If so, I'm so sorry. My hubby will get a chuckle out you thinking he had a lisp. Actually his english friends think he has an american accent. Go figure! We can talk about where to meet up with everyone after the alumni night. Chris (Tina) and I are excited to see everyone. Linda (Smith) Wright - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 10:51:07 (CDT) Attention, is there any of the Hal Vern group out there? ☺ Burton - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 10:48:00 (CDT) So John, what are you doing for yourself other than researching watering holes, not that it's a bad thing.... RV - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 08:51:40 (CDT) Oh yes (God I hated that dog) That was my first wife now removed. Your husband was english? I thought he had a lisp or something. And i know the watering holes. Lets see Tracys trying to frame me (and Kim im still a dork). But we all know that she still has this thing for me. Schwitzer - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 06:28:11 (CDT) Lynn Horsepool, what a blast from the past! I'm glad you're out of prison and running for office in Ogden. What clubs do you have? Linda Smith Wright, thanks for the eloquent expression of teenage feelings about high school. Isn't it nice we've all grown older, wiser and past those teenage mistakes? John and Tracie, now I know why the choir kids were considered cool and us band kids were the band geeks! Susan Inouye Spehar - Monday, May 24, 2004 at 00:09:24 (CDT) So John, it sounds like you might know the local watering holes better than I do. I haven’t lived in the Roy area for quite some time. Any good places to meet up? By the way do you remember you and your wife (sorry don’t remember her name) living in the duplex in Roy by the municipal building? I remember you had a dog that relieved himself on the lawn which we were caring for (just giving you a hard time). My husband was the guy with the funny English accent. Linda (Smith) Wright - Friday, May 21, 2004 at 07:39:08 (CDT) Kim…I’m still here and reading along. I’m just enjoying all the comments from everyone. Thanks ☺ Burton - Friday, May 21, 2004 at 07:35:35 (CDT) Kim & Tracy it will be wonderful to see you both again!! I'm sure I'll be attending at least the Alumni Night. Can't wait to see everyone. What a blast from the past!!! Sheila SHEILA - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 18:43:59 (CDT) "Mr.Schwitzer". Now I know what you were doing on the top row. Tracy, I may consider golfing if you do. John, can we use our handicaps? Mines 63.. I could beat you all. Sheila, I don't know where you got the idea graduation was mandatory for attending any reunions... I just barely made it!! Oh and John, by the way, I think you "were a dork" in shcool. See you all soon!!!! By the way Burton, why are you so quite lately? Karen, are you out there?????? Kim BC - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 17:47:25 (CDT) Mr. Schwitzer, are you trying to get me in trouble?? What are you talking about? So you tried to get up my skirt when we stood by each other on the top row of the choir bleachers (shame on you)! You and Lynn Schultz were hilarious! Can't wait to see you and I'm still trying to decide if I'm golfing or not. Sheila Stamey -- Wow! You have to come to the reunion! At the 20 year I went golfing and Marty Schibley was my partner. Does anyone know where Marty is? Roger Kerr blasted me with one of those giant sprinklers out on the course. I will never forgive him. I can't wait to see you all! TAB (Tracie) - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 14:59:07 (CDT) What Mike said Shiela RV - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 14:08:24 (CDT) Thanks Mike!!! Sheila sheila stamey robinson - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 14:02:40 (CDT) Sheila, the decicion is made, we will see you there. Mike V - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 10:51:40 (CDT) Hello!! I didn't graduate with you but went through most of my school years with you. I think of all of you often and see some of you occasionally. I read with instrest the comments on this site and am glad to see some of you haven't changed. I'm still trying to decide if I should attend your reunion even though I wasn't a graduate. Dennis Yamishita keeps telling me I should but we'll see. Anyway it's great to hear from everyone. Sheila Stamey Robinson - Thursday, May 20, 2004 at 09:56:20 (CDT) First one is on me John. RV - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 21:32:00 (CDT) Ok Ill forgive you (no more crying) the beer sounds good Schwitzer - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 21:23:47 (CDT) Sorry John. Didn't mean to miss anyone. Now I feel bad. YES WORLD, I WAS A FRIEND AND PAL TO JOHN SCHWITZER!!! There, I said it. Man, I feel better now. Yes, Betty Brown was taller than you back then. I always thought that Joan Thurgood and Dana Simpson were hot. Just too scared of girls back then to tell them that. Not meaning of course the rest of you ladies weren't just as hot, and still are I might add...(keep digging the hole deeper Rich) Yes and Lyle Manning, Jon Peterson, Brad Fowers, all the Hooper elementary folks. Am I out of trouble yet?? Rich Vine - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 21:11:25 (CDT) I was just reading through some of the comments. Man you guys just kill me. Rich Vine We were pals at Hooper elem. and you didnt even mention my name. Im crushed I do agree with you growing up with Rope, Jeff, Schultz,(another one you left out) Lyle (manning), Carl, Brian, What about Betty Brown she was the only one taller than me in grade school we were all friends and was never singled out for religion, race or just being a dork. (Still crying Rich). I look forward to seeing everybody. Jerry, Karen, Jeff, Bonnie you and the committee are doing a great job. I would like more people in the golf tourney. Give me a yell. Hey Doug, Horse, Rex Whats up? Tracy have you told your Husband about us yet? Opps Slipped and hit send. Schwitzer - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 20:15:58 (CDT) WHOOO HOOOO!!! Way to go Jerry. RV - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 19:19:46 (CDT) For those of you interested, there will be a bar available at the Timbermine on June 12th. Jerry Ropelato - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 16:41:49 (CDT) Sounds good Linda. Any suggestions? I don't get out much, so I don't know of any particular place RV - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 15:40:01 (CDT) Hello Classmates, sorry for the previous ranting. I would love to make up for it by suggesting anyone that is interested to get together after the alumni gathering. It would be fun to meet up somewhere, relax, and get reacquainted in a more “adult” environment. Personally I would love to share a glass of wine and get to know a few of you. If you’re interested and have any suggestions where a good place would be, let me know! Linda (Smith) Wright - Wednesday, May 19, 2004 at 09:52:19 (CDT) Lynn, Our band is "Saddlestrings, and we don't really play "country" stuff, more along the lines of "cowboy". Kind of like Chris LeDoux meets the Sons of the Pioneers, for lack of a better description. Let us know if we can help you, and we often do charity things as well. I hope you all have a great time at the reunion, I really am sorry to be missing it. Brian Arnold - Tuesday, May 18, 2004 at 22:18:11 (CDT) By the way, any of you having a graduating senior at Roy this year, I will also see you at the Dee Events Center on June 3rd. My daughter Krystal. Class of '04, RHS Rich Vine - Monday, May 17, 2004 at 20:15:44 (CDT) Hi, it has been over 30 years since I have had any contact with classmates from Roy High School. My son graduates from High School in southern California on June 11th. I am trying and look forward to coming to the reunion dinner on June 12th. To the committee members, thanks for making this reunion possible. Steve Garcia - Monday, May 17, 2004 at 19:28:26 (CDT) I hope to see alot of the same people at this reunion,That was at the last one. I came up from Ca. not knowing what to expect? And I was really surprised at how EVERYBODY made me feel like I was a long lost brother!! I talked to Lisa Tanner and Kim Anderson,[as different as night and day from my crowd back in school] and too many to list. I was the head of the Parking lot crowd back in school, So I wasn't on the best of terms with most of the milder kids! But at the 20 yr.I felt people had grown up and discovered the real world outside of high school. And made me feel the trip up here to Ut. was worth every cent!!!! I'm so looking forward to seeing as many of you as I can. I live up here again,so I hope the friendships won't stop after the reunion. So I hope this helps some of you fence sitters to decide in favor of coming!!!! I'd bet you won't be disappointed. Doug Baird - Monday, May 17, 2004 at 14:30:10 (CDT) In response to L. Hansen's comments: I was born and raises in Hooper, went all through school from the beginning with Jeff Manning, Mike Vaughn, Jerry Ropelato, and all the rest from Hooper/Kanesville. I was not LDS, but they still hung out with me then. We made it to Jr. High at Wahlquist, then to Sandridge, and finally to Roy High. We went different paths, hung out with different people. But one thing I have to admit about these people, was they still acknowledged who I was, still said hello in the halls, but I don't blame them for me chosing a different path. I am still not LDS, in fact, I'm not even Christian, but these people still took the time to say hi when we met in the hall. There was Linda Willey, Vicki Beus, Jessica VanMeeteren, and all the rest. Just because you felt distanced from the class, don't blame everyone else. You chose the path you took. Sorry for the long rant, but I felt the need to speak my mind. I will see all of you at the reunion. Rich Vine - Monday, May 17, 2004 at 13:09:27 (CDT) Linda... We couldn't have said it any better than you. As you, I feel we've grown beyond any bad memories from high school and honestly, even though I felt like an outsider too, it was usually my own doing. Really looking forward to the reunion!! Kim BC - Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 21:39:17 (CDT) Dear Classmates of 1974, I thought I would share this letter with all who are interested. I composed this for L. Hansen but thought a few of you might value from an “outsider” view looking in: Dear L. Hansen, I don’t know if you’re male or female, it doesn’t matter. I understand how the upcoming reunion brings back feelings you thought was left behind. I was a military brat and totally innocent of the tight Mormon community to which my family settled. I was use to race/religion/politics not being an issue. Boy what an eye opener at the delicate age of 10 it was. I endured all my final years at school being an “outsider”. It was really difficult going through high-school feeling like something was wrong with me. I didn’t attend any of the school dances due to not being asked. Even when given the opportunity to ask someone myself, still being rejected. I too had huge reservations about the reunion. Quite honestly the ONLY reason I am attending is because of my friend wanting to go having missed the 20 year. I have to admit I’m a little apprehensive myself. High school…school in Utah, was not/is not my one of my fondest memories. I am hoping as adults nearing our half-century mark that we have all grown wiser and more tolerant of our differences. Funny how our youth molds our entire life. But I hope I have grown and learned from my experiences and not let it tarnish the true me. Sincerely, Linda Smith, class of 1974 Linda (Smith) Wright - Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 16:51:00 (CDT) L. Hansen, what Linda said. Thanks Linda. ☺ Burton - Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 16:15:46 (CDT) L. Hansen, the commitee members have worked really hard and spent many long hours putting this reunion together. You have to realise most of these people have not had any contact with each other for over 30 years. So needless to say there a little ribbing and testing the waters of friendship. This forum has allowed people an opportunity to get to know each other again and catch up. It's too bad you're choosing not to attend and cannot bring yourself to reveal who you are. I hope you have a wonderful life and don't regret a chance to see people you may not ever see again. Linda (Smith) Wright - Sunday, May 16, 2004 at 14:10:37 (CDT) You know what? I've decided to save my money and stay home because the more I read this guestbook nonsense the more I feel like I'm in church. Hey I have an idea, lets see if we can hold this shindig at the tabernacle, it certainly couldn't be any less boring! I swear I think you people have no lives!! Talk about Mary Poppins.Maybe you have the right idea having people sign up on the internet because I can see no reason to waste the postage on sending any invitations. I would have thought that with 30 years behind us we would have some sense of humor or a little personality but I guess some things never change!! Aren't we having some fun now? L. hansen - Saturday, May 15, 2004 at 23:54:02 (CDT) Linda, I haven't bought my ticket yet. I'll go on line this weekend and purchase it. I can't wait to see you and John. Tina V Tina Vitello - Friday, May 14, 2004 at 08:29:17 (CDT) Hey Karen, I didn't know you knew my sister Teri. I'll be there for the reunion - I just can't believe it's been 30 years. It will be nice to see everyone. Take care and looking forward to chatting with you. Tina V Oh by the way I go by Tina now. Tina Vitello - Friday, May 14, 2004 at 08:26:32 (CDT) Lynn, My group is known as Red Canyon Free Trappers. We do a charity rendezvous every year for a different children's charity. Over Mother's Day weekend, we held one for Utah Foster Care. Had a good time. Just e-mail me if you want anymore info. Our club motto is "Kids...Our Future" Looking forward to seeing all y'all at the reunion. RV - Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 08:01:24 (CDT) Hey Chris, I hope you've bought your plan ticket because I still plan on picking you up at the airport. I still haven't been able to track down Georgia and Jeannie Hymas still hasn't returned my call. It would be great to have everyone together again! Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, May 13, 2004 at 07:50:55 (CDT) Hi Lynn, it's good to hear from you and I agree friends are the BEST! What clubs do you have? Karen - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 20:03:17 (CDT) Hi Chris (Tina), so your coming to the reunion . . . I talked to Teri (your sister)and I thought she said you wouldn't be able to make it. I'm so glad she was wrong. Can't wait to see you! Karen - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 18:29:17 (CDT) Hey Karen! I would love to get together if possible. You still would not be able to recognize Kirt! We've been together 25 years this August. He looks old. . .I look. . .Are you still at the bank? Do you and Kim still stay in touch? That's great if you still do. Talk to you soon! TAB - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 11:36:05 (CDT) Kim, I cant't wait to retire and move to Destin. I really like the pace there and I love the Ocean and the white sand. I'll be flying to Destin right after the reunion for some rest and relaxation.... We go every October,March and June - if your ever there at the same time maybe we can get together. Take care and hope to see you at the reunion. Chris V. Chris Muscolino Vitello - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at 09:29:44 (CDT) I am so looking forward to seeing all of you. I have really missed the association. Jerry, all of you guys are doing a great job. If I can help in any way please let me know. Brian, get me some info on your band, I'm always looking for some good ones at my clubs. Rich, if you could get me some info on your mountain man club I am setting up a rendezvous. Kim, Rex, "Yosh", Susan, Cut, Jeff, Mike and everyone else, thanks for your friendships, don't ever lose that, it means so much! Lynn Horspool - Monday, May 10, 2004 at 23:18:35 (CDT) Hey Jeff! Good to hear from you too. I thought your wife was only 3 years younger than us, not the 15 she looks! Kent is in Tracy, CA. His wife is battling a brain tumor, anyone out there know of any success stories with brain tumors? Please email me if you do. Susan Inouye Spehar - Monday, May 10, 2004 at 17:31:24 (CDT) Susan, I remember. I also remember hanging out there all night long. p.s. It is good to hear from you. Tell that husband of yours hell-o. Where's Kent? Jeff Manning - Sunday, May 09, 2004 at 23:51:45 (CDT) Does anyone remember Merrill Child's mom and dad cooking breakfast for everyone and anyone graduation night? Now that I've got a son graduating I think that was an amazing thing to do to issue an open invitation like that. Susan Inouye Spehar - Sunday, May 09, 2004 at 23:25:27 (CDT) The Mountain Man will be there. RV - Thursday, May 06, 2004 at 06:47:22 (CDT) OK, a mountain-man sending email and a cowboy missing our reunion for a soccer tourny? what's up with that? you would think a cowboy could figger out a way to do both? mike v - Wednesday, May 05, 2004 at 19:49:52 (CDT) Burton... "you weren't one of the smart ones????" I could have sworn....... Randy Hollis!! I've changed my opinion... I think the Spurs are going to beat the Laker's... Chris, I couldn't believe you are retiring to Destin.. I just got back from there this afternoon.... I have relatives down there. It was beautiful.. Kim BC - Tuesday, May 04, 2004 at 20:11:39 (CDT) Brian, you probably won't recognize me. Just look for the mountainman in buckskins in a white tent RV - Tuesday, May 04, 2004 at 10:36:05 (CDT) RV, Carl is in Cathedral City, CA. I need to call him & let him know about the website so he can put his own stuff in. Funny thing, you asking about him...most of the time I'm asked about him it's one of his old girlfriends. I'll watch for you at Red Rock. B. Arnold - Monday, May 03, 2004 at 16:25:41 (CDT) Rex, you are not the only one who can't find your keys - My biggest problem is finding my reading glasses. Jerry Ropelato - Monday, May 03, 2004 at 10:30:29 (CDT) To Becky: Cute is in the eye of the beholder - As long as my grandkids think that, I am in great shape. That is cool that other Roy's graduates are reading our site - Randy, come on back anytime. I love your sports articles in the Standard-Examiner!!! Jerry Ropelato - Monday, May 03, 2004 at 10:29:27 (CDT) I want to know when Karen DeVries (Yoshimura) is going to get her pretty face up on one of those Bank of Utah billboards. She's a whole lot better looking than any of those other mellon-head bank officers they've got pasted up on those billboards around town. RHollis, Class of 1970 - Sunday, May 02, 2004 at 01:54:20 (CDT) Hey TAB, nice to hear from you! I too can't believe we haven't ran into each other. I think Kurt came to the bank a couple of years ago but I didn't recognize him, sorry! call me or Kim sometime and let's get together before the reunion. . . Karen Yosh - Saturday, May 01, 2004 at 19:24:59 (CDT) Hey TAB, Barbara Wiberg is now Barbara Western. Had to ask my daughter her name.☺ Burton - Friday, April 30, 2004 at 19:10:41 (CDT) Jim -- Well if you saw Barbara last night then I am so loosin' it! Thanks for letting me know. Kim -- I love to golf but I don't because of my crazy commute right now. What do you want to know about the business? Yes, I remember Mr. Sandman! Can't wait to see all of you and reminisce! TAB - Friday, April 30, 2004 at 16:05:15 (CDT) Thank you Becky for clearing that up…”Smart”, I told Kim that she didn’t remember me. But then I was pretty much invisible in high school. The really question Becky is, “Do you know where your car is?” Hey Tracie (TAB), I don’t think that Barbara Wiberg has passed, I saw her shopping at Harmon’s last night. A few years ago, I would see her at Roy Jr. at the band concerts. I think she has a daughter the same age as mine. See you in the funny pagers. ☺ Burton - Friday, April 30, 2004 at 07:57:34 (CDT) Ummm, I don't remember Jerry being "way cute" in high school, nor do I remember Burton being "one of the smart ones". But that may have been, because...I don't remember what I had for dinner last night either. So...can I not remember because I'm having a "senior" moment or a "mommie" moment? I have a 4 yr old you know. Do I have the youngest child in the entire class of '74? Well, at least I know where my car keys are! Becky (Mumford) Ours - Thursday, April 29, 2004 at 23:13:15 (CDT) Joanne, I am going to have to take some time to sit down with you an have a discussion about this topic. I have definetly lost it! Anyway, I am so glad you have been married forever and are happy -- I don't take any credit because I can't remember! TAB - Thursday, April 29, 2004 at 17:12:30 (CDT) Sorry you can't make it Brian. Cool to hear about the band doing good. Whatever happened to Carl? Keep in touch. Never know, might see ya at RedRock Rich Vine - Thursday, April 29, 2004 at 16:51:10 (CDT) Tracy Doug is Kevin Rocks friend now do you remember?? JoAnne - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 19:55:21 (CDT) Hey found my keys!:-) Rex - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 17:45:34 (CDT) Hey Cut. WAZZUP??? Just working at the base, Rolling cars, and doing Mountain Man Rendezvous. Live in Roy with the wife and kids. Rich Vine - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 16:50:20 (CDT) Just found out I'll be missing the festivities. Kid's soccer @ the Utah Summer Games takes priority. For those folks still in Northern Utah that may be interested, there's a big cowboy party (an event that shall remain nameless here) on May 22nd in Woodruff, UT. Our band will be playing. Have a great time, and don't believe everything you hear! Brian Arnold - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 16:09:42 (CDT) This is such a great forum. It's a blast reading everyone's comments and seeing that some things never change. Thanks for "finding" me Karen. I can't wait to see everyone. Gail Rochell (Hill) - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 10:48:54 (CDT) Burton how are you anyways, It has been such a long time. I haven't made it to any of the reunions something else always came up. It seems that we all have children and some of you even have grandkids I can't wait. R Vine how are you. I do remember you and your brothers. Send me an email let me know what you've been up to. cut "Cut" Brent Cutler - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at 00:45:03 (CDT) I have received only 10 registration forms for the reunion. I hope I will be hearing from more of you soon. Bonnie B.Peterson - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 at 19:56:53 (CDT) MAN!!!! You all talk more now than you did in school. If nobody remembers me it's O.K. I was kinda in my stealth mode in High School I do remember most of you, especially the Hooper Guys. Great Job on the site. Rich Vine - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 23:39:51 (CDT) Hey Joanne! I don't have a clue who Doug Colby is -- I am so sorry. Obviously the "old timers" disease has set in. Can't wait to see you! Does anyone out there read that Barbara Wiberg died? Again because of the "old timers" disease I can't remember when, but I think at least a year ago maybe longer. I just remember reading that she still lived in Roy. Someone straighten me out if I am wrong. TAB - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 22:17:37 (CDT) Sorry, I doubled click and you see it twice. Burton - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 18:35:08 (CDT) Hey Brent, Long time no see…How you doing? A felon, come on Brent, we did that, been there, never got caught, before we were out of high school. It will be great to see you.☺ J Burton - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 18:32:21 (CDT) Hey Brent, Long time no see…How you doing? A felon, come on Brent, we did that, been there, never got caught, before we were out of high school. It will be great to see you.☺ J Burton - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 18:32:17 (CDT) Hi Tracy do you remember going into low cost foods with me. And we talked to Doug Colby? Well I married him and It's because you knew him I have always wanted to thank you. So Thank you! We have been married for 27 years. JoAnne - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 18:23:15 (CDT) I see Ernie Jacklin around in Roy, he seems to be doing fine. From him I learned this; there are three kinds of people: those who can count and those that can't. Mike V - Monday, April 26, 2004 at 13:44:55 (CDT) TRACIE ADAMS?? It's so great to hear from you!! Sounds like you're doing great! You'll have to tell me more about this golf club business because I need help there. Do you remember Mr. Sandman? Are you a golfer? Rex, Sterling Morris was one of my favorite teachers. I used to tell my family "the only thing that made high school fun for me was the choir". It's good to here he's still doing it! JoAnne,it's great to see you still have that neat personality from school! (Is Jerry really still "way cute?". Hey James, you act like there is something wrong with "the smart ones". Have you ever heard of a guy named Bill Gates? I also wanted to apologize for not mentioning what a great job Jerry and the committee are doing. Thanks a bunch! This has got to be stressful keeping up with everything. Can't wait to see you! Cut, be glad you're not a felon.... Kim BC - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 19:07:00 (CDT) After reading some of the comments I'm almost grateful it's been 30 years. "Just Kidding" I just wish I could be a felon too! It's a great web site you guy's have done a great job. Looking forward to seeing all. Cut "Cut" Brent Cutler - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 18:14:56 (CDT) You folks have done an excellent job on setting this reunion up. And thanks to those of you who made it for inviting those of us that didn't MOB - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 17:09:07 (CDT) Hey Karen and Kim! You guys look great! It's been a long time and I can't believe I haven't ran into either of you somewhere. Thanks to all of you that have put so much work into such a great event. See you in June! Tracie Adams (Bailey) "TAB" - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 16:31:49 (CDT) Rex, See…I didn’t even notice you had left out “ago”… My kids are always telling me that when I read, I add stuff that not even there. They say it’s part of old age, but I think it’s because I’m know what they really want to say and can read their minds. Hey…I found your keys, never mind, their mine. ☺ Burton - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 08:38:36 (CDT) Teacher Sighting…I see DeVerl Spencer about once or twice a week, driving by my house. He lives about a block away from me. ☺ Burton - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 08:27:22 (CDT) Hi everyone, I guess this is an answer for Toni...I was talking with Kathy Newell (Jorgensen) a few days ago and she said that Melanie had passed from cancer. I think she said it was Ovarian Cancer. Sorry ☺ Burton - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 08:21:55 (CDT) I saw Mr Morris tonight at a play in SLC.He retired ten years ago, but is still envolved with the youth in the area. Instead of taking groups to festivals, he takes them to universties and colleges for workshops and seminars, where the kids enhance their skills and educations. This saves the kids money and gives them additional real life education.Mr Morris has used his many contacts in the Western States to organize these events.He has even had professional actors do workshops for young HS drama students, thus giving these kids an experience in Theater reality. Mr Morris has been to CA with the Veiwmont Band and the Davis Chior. But most often he tours with Roy High groups. The kids love it. I thought this was way cool and I wanted to share it with the class. Teacher Sighting from Rex - Friday, April 23, 2004 at 01:39:01 (CDT) JoAnne, Thanks for coming Tuesday. Just giving you a hard time about the 6th grade. You do not have a mean bone in you. Bonnie B.P. - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 22:31:23 (CDT) Hey, does anybody know what happened to any of our classmates who have "passed on"? Like Melanie Fowers - what happened? Toni Lunt - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 21:30:35 (CDT) Hey Jerry thanks for the invite to the committee meeting You are still way cute. You are all working so hard for all of us thanks. Karen you are so awesome it was so good to see you. What a nut Mike is and a hero too. I'm sorry Bonnie I was mean to you in 6th grade I hope you will forgive me. Jeff Thanks Jo Anne - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 20:05:51 (CDT) Rex. Their probably in your pocket. :-) Kim B - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 18:39:51 (CDT) OH_NO! I forgot the "ago" in the middle of my last sentence! Does anyone know where I put my keys? Rex - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 13:43:17 (CDT) James, most of the people I bump into really do have to scratch their head,and thats ok with me because I'm usually scratching mine too. Kim, I was joking, and I wasn't being to hard on myself, I came to grips along time that I couldn't spell worth b-e-a-n-s. Rex - Thursday, April 22, 2004 at 00:37:46 (CDT) Oh Rex, how could anyone ever forget you or your name? When I was going through the 20-year reunion picture I had trouble putting names with faces. The picture of you was one of the easy ones. Don’t beat yourself up…I think you look the same as you did in school. At least Kim didn’t say she remember you as “one of the smart ones.” She knew you were a jock. ☺ J. Burton - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 22:06:14 (CDT) Hey Toni, I agree with you, Jerry has done a great job putting the class reunion together and getting this website up & going! At the last committee meeting, JoAnne Brown Colby (like the cheese) came with Bonnie. It was so nice to see her again, she really had a lot of energy! Karen Yoshimura DeVries - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 21:56:02 (CDT) My family still lives in Utah, except me and one of my sisters. I have a sister that lives here in the desert by me; 2 brothers in Layton; 1 brother in Farr West and 1 sister in Farmington. My dad died in 1986 and mom moved out of our Roy house to Layton. I look forward to seeing everybody at the reunion. Whenever I make a trip to Utah I make a point to go to the Burger Bar and Tony's Pizza. Some of my best memories are from these two places. I also want to thank you Jerry and the rest of the committee for all your work in planning the reunion. I wish I could be there to help. Toni Lunt - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 20:23:19 (CDT) Let me clarify. The mean-spirited comments were already taken off of the website. We felt they were in extremely poor taste and had no business being on our website. I don't know who submitted them because they didn't leave their name. Personally, I have thought most of the comments were excellent-a couple were in the gray area. Let's move on with it and have some fun in the guestbook forum. I look forward to reading these comments every day. It is nice to hear from everyone and to see a little badgering done in good jest. We appreciate everyone participating. keep it up. Thanks. Jerry Ropelato - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 18:15:33 (CDT) Hi Toni!! Does your family still live in the state? I remember you lived just across the way from me on 4800. I've seen Ms. Olson too. She looked great.. She said to me "you went to Roy High didn't you" I about fell over!!!! Kim B - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 17:02:54 (CDT) Rex... don't be so hard on yourself... I'd recognize you if I saw you.... Jim.... be nice to Rex... He was one of the nice jocks (?)... this is fun..... Kim Browne - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 16:53:07 (CDT) J Burton, feel lucky, at least you could spell 30 years ago. When I see people I knew in high school they never remember my name, so I know now I'm not somebody. Rex B - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 15:13:39 (CDT) Hey Rex, I remember you walking through the hall at school, always thinking you were somebody. So maybe it’s your alter ego. I’m just kidding, Rex. Is alter ego one word or two, Hey Jerry, I need spell check on this. Can’t remember how to spell, it’s been 30 years, you know.☺ J. Burton - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 15:04:37 (CDT) NO-ONE offended me with any of their comments. I have enjoyed every-ones notes and I think every-body should jion in on the fun. Any-one can contribute. I just couldn't remember any-one in our class named SOME-BODY. He was mighty bold and fearless to go nameless. Rex Baker - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 14:52:57 (CDT) oops! sorry Jerry, I forgot my full name on that last message mike vaughn - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 11:48:08 (CDT) Toni, Miss Olson has retired from Roy and now teaches at Weber State. I've bumped into her a few times. The last time I saw her she was really struggling with a math class she was taking but everything else seemed good for her. mike - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 11:46:00 (CDT) Thanks Jerry for setting the ground rules for the comments section. You and your team have done a great job in setting up the reunion. Chris Vitello - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 10:35:03 (CDT) To all the guest book readers, I apologize if I have said anything to hurt anyone’s feelings. It was not my intent. I was just joking around and having fun with Lynn, Kim and Somebody. My apology goes out to them. Thanks Jerry, from the web site and the work you are doing.☺ J. Burton - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 07:57:52 (CDT) Hey Kim, I don't think it was your comments. I think "somebody"'s comments were getting a little out of hand. I hope nobody's feelings were hurt bad enough to make them not want to come to the reunion. I mean, Come on, we're 48 years old; we should all know about respecting one another. By the way, does anyone know about any of our teachers? like Miss Olson? Toni - Wednesday, April 21, 2004 at 00:02:44 (CDT) Jerry and Rex, I hope none of my comments were interpreted as mean-spirited in anyway. That was not my intent. This has been really fun getting to know folks that we may not have known well in high school. I promise to tone it down a bit. Kim Browne - Cassity - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 19:58:07 (CDT) Thanks Jerry for the new ground rule. It will improve the guestbook. Rex - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 14:11:21 (CDT) We have decided to remove any comments not posted with the persons full name. Some have really turned mean-spirited, which was not the purpose of this forum. Thanks for all of those that have made this fun and enjoyable to read. Jerry Ropelato - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 at 12:53:45 (CDT) By the way Burton..... I remember you.... You were one of the smart ones..... Kim - Monday, April 19, 2004 at 19:13:25 (CDT) Kim, that alright you live in a Mary Poppins World...I like my Mickey Mouse world too. Sometimes it's a little goofy but we all have to do what ever it takes to make the medicine go down...it will great to see you too...even if you have no idea who I am.☺ Burton - Monday, April 19, 2004 at 07:44:46 (CDT) Mike thanks for the vote of confidence. I will be there with my beautiful wife Julie who happens to work at Roy High. It will be cool seeing how we all have changed in 30 years. Bill Pledger - Sunday, April 18, 2004 at 18:59:49 (CDT) Thanks for the heads up with Chris Lindgren. Let us know if we have missed anyone else. We also just added Lorl Dean and Brian John, two others that we missed. Thanks. Jerry Ropelato - Sunday, April 18, 2004 at 17:57:56 (CDT) Oh, and by the way.... Burton, I do live in a Marry Poppins world and wouldn't have it any other way!!!!! Can't wait to see you too! Kim - Sunday, April 18, 2004 at 17:40:51 (CDT) Hey Toni!!! I don't think Lynn "or Chris" are convicted felons. Their just teasing.... can't wait to see you!!! Kim - Sunday, April 18, 2004 at 17:28:19 (CDT) I noticed Chris Lindgren is not on the list. Did he get missed because he was in prison with Lynn? Toni - Sunday, April 18, 2004 at 00:21:39 (CDT) Hey, Happy trails, my info was finally updated and I wouldn't miss this for the world!! I'm thinking that this will be the best reunion yet. bop - Saturday, April 17, 2004 at 20:15:05 (CDT) Bill Pledger was and will always be part of the class of 74. It's not like we're in some sort of a competition. mike - Friday, April 16, 2004 at 23:05:36 (CDT) If Barbara Obin has an update where is it? I would like to know whats going on with her since I am now single once again. I find it rather interesting that her ex (bill pledger) is updated and included in our graduating class since I don't remember him graduating (or even coming close) but nothing on her! when she is updated and confirmed she is coming I will too! happy trails - Friday, April 16, 2004 at 15:15:46 (CDT) Hey Somebody, I'll help you send out the invitations, just let me know when and where. Just want you to know one thing...that I really live in a Mickey Mouse world, but I'm willing to make a step up into a Mary Poppin's world. It's got to be better than the Brady Bunch world I was in before...But I will help you with the invitations, before you kill me for being a smart ***. ☺ Burton - Tuesday, April 13, 2004 at 13:07:58 (CDT) I think you're right Kim. I was thinking Dave lived up by Nordic Valley. I think his mom still lived on 4000 in Roy. Burton - Monday, April 12, 2004 at 07:28:49 (CDT) Jim, your right. We missed David Thomas as well as Nanette Cory. Thanks for letting us know. We also updated two more in the "In Memory of" section - That is now 15. Jerry Ropelato - Friday, April 09, 2004 at 18:00:02 (CDT) Burton.... you know... I never paid much attention but he does have beady eyes.... they're not little but they sure are beady... wonder where he is? Also, I remember Dave Thomas... and we do need to find him.... I think he lives up the canyon somewhere.. last I remember.... Kim - Friday, April 09, 2004 at 17:45:24 (CDT) Hey Kim...looks like "SOMEONE" was having a bad day and took it out on you. I alway thought Lynn could be a felon. He had those little beady eyes and that evil smile. Just check out his picture and if you look hard enough, you can almost see little number under his picture. Just kidding... Glad they found you Lynn, wouldn't have been the same without you.☺ Burton - Friday, April 09, 2004 at 14:50:41 (CDT) Jerry, Another name is missing from our ranks...David Thomas Jim B - Friday, April 09, 2004 at 14:26:31 (CDT) Our next meeting is April 30th, 7:30pm at my home. 5612s. 3700w. Roy, Utah. My phone is 985-2149. Thank You Jeff Manning - Friday, April 09, 2004 at 00:12:22 (CDT) Sorry Jerry, I meant to say Jeff but I was extremely tired. So Jeff let me know when the next meeting is okay? Thanks, bop Barb Obin,Pledger - Thursday, April 08, 2004 at 22:49:10 (CDT) Jerry, sorry I was not able to make it to your meeting on Tuesday night. I really wanted to come and put in my 2 cents but I was on call. Let me know when you're meeting again and I'll do my best to make it. BOP Barb - Thursday, April 08, 2004 at 22:37:10 (CDT) correction: "knew" kim - Thursday, April 08, 2004 at 19:16:25 (CDT) Well excuse me SOMEBODY... You didn't have to bite my head off!!!!! I new Lynn was too sweet to be a convicted felon... kim - Thursday, April 08, 2004 at 18:36:54 (CDT) I CAN'T BELIEVE LYNN HORSPOOL IS A CONVICTED FELON!!!!!! THIS IS REALLY SCARY.... ARE WE SAFE IF HE COMES TO THE REUNION JERRY??? Kim - Wednesday, April 07, 2004 at 12:55:48 (CDT) Please everyone, tell everyone you know that we graduated with about our web site.

Mike - Saturday, April 03, 2004 at 22:00:19 (CST) uh oh, look who's lame. I didn't think that my comments got sent yesterday so I rewrote today, and low and behold there it was. Oh well! Shit happens! See you in a few months. Bop - Friday, April 02, 2004 at 21:07:37 (CST) I can't believe it's been 30 years, Where did the time go? I can't wait to see everyone. I hope we have a good turnout. I know our past reunions had their moments but for the most part they were pretty lame. If you guys need any help with any plans feel free to contact me. See ya in June!!! Barb Obin,Pledger - Friday, April 02, 2004 at 20:58:16 (CST) Thanks for alerting us that we had missed Lynn Horspool. I am sure we probably missed some others. No, Lynn wasn't in Prison, but if he had won the Mayor of Ogden, he might have rather have been. Good job Lynn! Jerry Ropelato - Friday, April 02, 2004 at 13:31:50 (CST) Toni Lunt, Huskey?

Barb Obin Pledger - Thursday, April 01, 2004 at 22:38:09 (CST) why isn't Lynn Horspool listed as a classmate? Was he still in prison? since when did he have a sense of humor? guess who? - Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 12:42:12 (CST) If Lynn Horspool is still around why isn't he listed as one of our graduating classmates? Or was he prison for graduation? anonymous - Wednesday, March 31, 2004 at 12:31:39 (CST) I just got out of prison for quadruple homocide, just in time for all the fun! Looking forward to to a reunion. You guys all look so young! What's up with that? Later. Lynn Horspool - Monday, March 29, 2004 at 19:54:25 (CST) Hey get the word out to register and keep up to date on Classmates.com. That's how I found out about this website! Thanks again guys for your hard work! Linda (Smith) Wright - Thursday, March 18, 2004 at 20:48:38 (CST) I wanted to say thanks to James Burton and Toni Lunt for sending us some great pictures of prior reunions.
