Ron,
Thanks for contacting me through Classmates.com. I did not know about this great web site,
and am happy to send you my email. I'm not sure if I will be able to attend the reunion or not,
but will keep you posted. Thanks to all of you for the hard work.

Maybe. I have missed all the other reunions. I really would like to attend this one.

I'm not sure if I can make it to the Reunion, but I am hoping there will be a booklet

HEADS UP!! I received a real suspicious looking e-mail today, with no clear identity,
saying they received my e-mail address from our class website. Needless to say, I did not
respond or click on the link. . . Mark Milne 10-30-09
USMC -Viet Nam 1969.....Steve Sparling....10-24-09
Any new news about our 45th reunion? Count me in...Lois (Jacobs) McKenzie.......10-23-09
I think it would be fun to invite the class of 1966 and 1964. Would be fun to see some of
those people as well. Sherri Miller......10-25-09
Sherri, thanks for the important suggestion. We will again be extending that invitation. Evidently those groups are not as active as ours. In the past the leaders have not been very responsive to our invites. Seems like they would make an effort to make contacts. But it must not happen. If any one wants to invite friends from other classes they are definately welcome. When we begin to post attendees they will be acknowledged. Ron W
Yes we plan to attend. Sorry, events didn't allow us to attend the 60th birthday bash,
but planning to make this event for sure. Greg Dippel...10/25/2009
Yes we plan to attend. If you miss an event, it can't be rescheduled.
See ya in August. Jack Rose.....10/25/2009
Yes. Sounds like fun. Rebecca Starnes.....10/24/2009
Yes. Looking forward to it. John fisher...09/08/2009
Yes. Yes, Karen and I are planning to attend. Ron, thanks for getting this
event started early. Jim Cox...06/10/2009
You betcha, I will make it. Always great to see old friends. Kate Mitchell the last I heard
Herb and Betty Morris were in the Spokane Washington area, that's Kenny's Folks.

You probably already know that the class lost our friend Mike Barker July 17,2009.
His full notice appears in the August 09,2009 Medford Mail Tribune.. . . Steve Nelson 08/12/2009
Scott,
In case you didn't hear, Mike Barker died of ALS. His obituary is in the August 5 edition
of the statesmanjournal.com. I recall his note to the reunion committee telling his classmates
that he had ALS and that he hoped he would be in Medford for the 45th celebration.
Unfortunately, it was not to be. Mike was in my homeroom class (Mrs. Foley's 8th grade algebra)
at McLoughlin JHS and I enjoyed being around him. Later in life when we lived in Salem I would see
him at different events. He signed my junior high school yearbook with his good wishes for my future
(my family was moving to Wyoming) and he wrote "The best kid in school, Mike Barker." You know,
he just might have been. Mike was a kind and good person. I'm sorry he won't be with us.
Hope all is well with you. Are you still on the reunion committee?
Would you please send me the link to the new MHS class of 1965 web site--somehow I've lost my connection.
Will be heading to Ashland in October for plays. I always look forward to travels to southern Oregon.
Best, Betty (Lou) Hatch-Troseth 08/17/2009
I regret to inform the class of "65" that Mike Pollard passed away
unexpectedly on Sat. Aug 22. Service to be held on Sat Aug 29 in Reno, NV.
I will pass on more information as I receive it. . . . Gary W. Smith 08/25/2009
My e-mail address has changed. Looking forward to 45. Thanks . . . .
Ellen (Sherman) Cullmer 08/26/2009
WHERE ARE THOSE GREAT INCOMING EMAILS??? . . . Curt Wyatt 08/27/2009
Would be interested in helping with reunion meetings. Sharon (Thompson) Smith 08/28/2009
Ron, the wife and I are going to take a hard look at coming to the event next year. I will check
all the updates on line. Thank you for email. . . . Manfred Stamm 08/28/2009
Hey Manfred,
Thanks for the update to your email. The website will be correct shortly. Thought I would
share that many classmates have asked about you when we have been together. Sure would
be great if you can come to our reunion next year. Ron Wallace
So glad I checked to see if anything was going on... Are you planning a campout this summer?
Lois (Jacobs)McKenzie 06/25/2009
Please send me info on the class reunion. We actually live in a little town called Union, Oregon.
It is about 14 miles from La Grande. I am glad to be back in touch and look forward to the
reunion next year. Thanks......Sue Padgett June 16, 2009
Has anyone heard from or know the whereabouts of dana thurman??
or bill wenzel...I owe this guy an apology…. Curt Wyatt 7-14-2009
Hi Ron: This is Gerry Mason's email address. Saw his brother Steve at golf course.
Gerry, how are you and are you coming to Eugene this year? Saw Linda Erz (now Lethea Erz)
last Monday night. She is doing well, living in New Zealand,hope you are doing well too. . . .
Jack Watson 07/15/2009
Please note my address and E-mail have changed. I have been selected for DOD Navy position
at Iwakuni MCAS, Japan effective 30 July 09.This a 3 year assignment but I hope to able to return
to the reunion in 2010. . . . . Mark Vanderlinden 07/17/2009
I have some information that might be interesting to a few folks. all the pictures I took while in Vietnam are now on the Internet. Short of 600 slides. Yes, some are not included - the bodies and such have been removed. If you want to create a link - that is okay by me.
Here is the web site where my Vietnam pictures ended up.
You can follow the links below, or just click on the last link and follow the directions following that option.
The source of the pictures:
Start:
Photo Gallery:
Vietnam Era:
roll down to the jeep picture:
click the first slide with words on it:
Click the Full Screen option on the top left corner and then either of the right arrows. The short arrow is set up for a slide show, where you can adjust the length of each slide or the right long arrow is for individual control, and a back option with the long left arrow.
I am not sure if this can be accomplished on your system, but on mine it is a hit/miss. If you wish to get a closer view, use the picture zoom option that MIGHT be on your browser. I am looking into if it is possible to get larger pictures or a way to click and save a larger picture. Not sure though if that is an option at this point.
Stephen Cutting 7/15/09
Hey everyone, this party will be more fun than the last, because
most of us can't remember the last one!!! Track down an old high school
friend and make the party... also , If you are in the area, RV, come to my

Please send me info on the class reunion. Thanks
Sue Padgett 06/13/2009
Ron, please use Bcc or a group list when you mail to multiple addresses. Putting them all in To: or Cc: makes them all too visible to address harvesters. Thanks, Dave Doty 06/11/2009
Thanks for the advice Dave, great idea.
I'm hoping to be there but if I get a part in a play (Nunsense) I've wanted to do for a long time, the last weekend of the show is the weekend of this reunion!! This is gonna be a hard decision since I can't be in 2 places at once, dang!!! Virginia (Teeter) Slifcak 06/12/2009
Hey Ron! I am GOING to come to this one. Keep me posted.
Mary Duncan/Zier 06/11/2009
All our announcements will be on this website stay tuned and tell others about it.
You guys are relentless!!! OK, I will plan on a weekend next year--August?
July?
I will plan on hot weather, something we have actually experienced in Seattle this month. And if I sock away $100. each month, by next summer I may be able to afford my car's gas bill to Medford and back.
Is there a government bailout for this?
Gary Quinn 06/11/2009
Gary, I sure hope you do make it this time. Lately each visit to Seattle has been so short I've spent all the time with family. Retirement will change that now and will make more time next visit. Ron W.
Thanks for contacting me. I have retired from Castilleja, and my new email address is kftobey@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Karen (Foley) Tobey 06/11/2009
Ron,
Thanks for the reunion invite! I will try and make it if vacation and travel logistics can be worked out.
I don't see Hal Kingslein in the invite list. Can you send him one? He gets his email at hal@hedgelumber.com and says he is interested. Thanks, RICK NEWLAND 06/11/2009

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the information about Dean Hanson. We have had no email on file for Dean. Patricia is actually on our missing classmate list. Until now we didn't know they were together. Great job! Keep flushing out these missing friends. Thanks again. Ron 8/14/08
His wife, Patricia is also a 65 grad, I think her maiden name was Valdez. Headin for Lake on Sunday, 24th. Thanks again for hosting all of us. jw 8/14/08
Since hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the refineries and the Russians have claimed the oil fields beneath the rapidly melting north pole, and since when I bought my last car I demanded the 6 cylinder so I could get out of the way of the botoxed beauties once removed who wheel their Hummers through the parking lots with impunity, and since I have to be in southern Oregon on Aug. 14 and can't afford two trips from LA, I won't be seeing folks as I'd planned.
Update for absolutely no one: I finally got a book published, about the time to retire. "Grounds for Writers" on Amazon. Maybe your grandkids will be forced to use it at some major university near you? There's no end to the intellectual damage I can do and still get paid for it. Best to all. Enjoy each other. Sorry I won't be there.
Doug Sweet 07/22/2008
I know where the lodge is but where are the lunch and Sunday breakfast activities going to be? Do we need to make reservations for dinner or is it a group thing? Thanks for all the work. David Gregory 07/21/08
Hi David, Thanks for writing. We will be in the area right in front of the restaurant and the little store behind the public beach area. It is right where they have the BBQ on Saturday's and show the movies on Friday nights. Which by the way some are thinking about coming to the "vintage" movie on Friday nite. The Sunday breakfast will be at my place you have been there before and we will give directions there again. The Sunday breakfast probably will not start until 10:00 AM or so. More like a brunch actually. The dinner is the BBQ offered by Lake of the Woods if desired. No group dinner is planned as part of our activities. Naturally we will all be in and around the site for the evening. There will be a band and it is Sidewinder a country band from 4 - 8 PM.
We'll be looking forward to seeing you. Ron Wallace 07/21/08
Hi Ron and classmates,
This sounds like soooo much fun. I wish Mike and I could be there.
However we had already planned our vacation time to go with our
trailer over to Lincoln City and couldn't really change it. The pictures
of the lake look so beautiful and inviting. We haven't been there in years.
Hope everyone has a great time. We'll be looking forward to the next event.
This was awesome of you all to put this together, to keep everyone in touch.
Sincerely, Mike&Carol Riley 7/17/08
Would love to attend the Porters dinner August 1st. . . . Tanis (Rose) Teich 7/14/08
Guess I just can't stay away! I'll be out in Medford that
whole week before, but probably will only be able to go Fri. night (to
Porter's) or Sat. during the day, not staying Sat. night.
Looking forward to it! Ginny (Teeter) Slifcak . . . 7/09/08
Ron, Count me in on all or a portion of the activities. Do you need any help?
I am leaving the country until the 24th, but would be glad to assist in any way I can after that date.
Michael V. Finley 7/07/08
It was fun looking at past pics. Most of you have changed a
little, of course I look exactly like I did in 65. Well almost.
Weight,hair color is a little different......Rusty Spiker 6/18/08
Hope I wasn't the only one to see a nice article about Dick
Fosbury in the Wall Street Journal..6/15/08. Was a piece on what has
happened to some well known and not so well known Olympians. Was nice
to see and hear about Dick. I wonder if he remembers the time that I
was paired with him in PE during the boxing part of the year. He tried
to be nice to me...had a reach about 2 feet longer than me....but I did
a kangaroo jump up and popped him in the nose!! After that, the pity
was gone and he cleaned my clock!!
Best regards
Marty Fegley 6/16/08
Hi Ron,
I will be there also. We are staying next to Karyn. I spent many years
as a kid on that lake and even learned to ski there. See you then!
Linda (Bismark) Croswell. 6/11/08
Hi, I was happy to find this site. My name is on the list of
lost students. I graduated with the class of '65 and am interested in
upcoming events. Wish I had known about the 60th birthday party. My Mom
still lives in Medford and I get down there often. Thanks for this
opportunity to make contact. . . . .Carol Taylor 6/11/08
Hi Carol,
Thanks for contacting us. I have entered your information in our
records so we'll get you on the found list. We are getting together at
Lake of the Woods for a social time in August. If you are in the area
do consider joining us. Everyone is invited. Ron Wallace
I won't be able to make the event in August, my medical team
is meeting then. In October I was diagnosed with ALS, but I'm still
fighting away and hope I'll still be around to come to our 45th. Mike Barker 5/25/08
HEY, THIS WILL BE SO MUCH FUN!!! EVERYONE PLEASE TRY TO MAKE IT
FOR EVERYTHING OR SOME OF IT.. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU WITH
ANYTHING?? E-MAIL TDKATELUDWIG@YAHOO.COM CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL!!!
KATE MITCHELL(LUDWIG) 5/24/08
I didn't know this web site existed, but I am glad I stumbled
onto it. Great to keep up. Thanks to those that are doing all the work.
Hal Kingslien 5/14/08
Hey Ron,
Yes, a very long time. Thanks for getting me updated and providing the
website. Reading some of the posts to the web threw me into the wayback
machine. What a treat! Its good to see that the "usual suspects" are
still active and I am glad everybody has so much going on and gets together
occasionally. Lake of the Woods is being considered and will let you
know. Take care, and thanks again. Hal Kingslien 5/14/08
WE MADE RESERVATIONS NEXT TO DAVID GREGORY
AT SUNSET FOR AUG. 1ST AND 2ND.
SEE YOU THERE IF NOT SOONER. Diane (Holt) Yarrish 5/12/08
Ron,
Susie and I will be there. Have reservations at Sunset campground
so will be there Fri. Sounds like fun as usual. David Gregory 5/12/08
Hi, Ed and I will there for the get together. We are at the
lake for the month of Aug. Good timing for us. Looking forward to
seeing all who can make it. Connie (Bittle) Kessler 5/11/08
Hi Ron,
I am beginning to think that you are picking on me. I will be out of town
again this time. It would really be fun to see the class mates that can make
it but once again, just tell them “hi” for me. Don Todd (5/08/08
Ron,
Just received your invite. Thank you very much. I will try to make it this time.
I have an engagement I must attend at the end of the month in Los Angeles, so this time,
the time frames just may work out.
On a side note, I was reading the memoriam information and such on
the Vets page. Are you aware that Brian Robertson was there when Fred died?
I believe Brian was with the Seabees at the base where Fred's helicopter went down.
I think he was actually with Fred during his last moments. I believe he lives right
there in Jacksonville. With a teensy bit of effort, you can possibly locate Brian
and get him to tell you more about Fred. Just a thought.
Lee Nelson also served with the Military Police there in South Vietnam.
Successfully completed his tour and came home. Lee and I had been
pretty good friends over the years, and I was saddened to hear of his death.
Anyway, thank you again for keeping me in the loop. Jack Mullen and I
have kept up a spirited dialogue on the current politics, which I have
enjoyed enormously. Take care of yourself. Dennis Neeley 5/02/08
Ron, Very good to hear from you and trust all is going well. I'll be there. Tim Watrud 5/02/08
You managed to find the weekend I was already triple booked.
Otherwise, would have tried to make it, sounds like a good time. -Paul Branchfield- 5/03/08
Thanks for the invite, Ron. Hope all is well Bill Enyart 5/05/08
Sounds like fun. Thanks for the update. Mike Young 5/02/08
Hi Ron, Thanks so much for letting me know, but..............we will
not be here at that time. I am so disappointed that I cannot attend!
We have a family reunion every year the first weekend of August
on the Coast. Please keep me in the loop for other events and times,
I do appreciate it! Have a great time!!!!! Sharon Johnson 5/02/08
Hi Ron....would love to come....but have to confirm some dates before I commit......I
think my tailbone may be in shape by then and look forward to the lake . Hope
all is well with you. Shireen Kinney 5/02/08
Hi Ron: I was planning to be at the Lake that weekend already!!! I share a cabin with all
my sibs so I won't need lodging. Thanks, Jack Watson 5/02/08
Great idea. I should be seeing you there. Doug Sweet 5/02/08
Hi Ron -
I wanted to come to the meeting, but we have a new great granddaughter,
Lily, and our services were needed that night! We already made our
reservations at L of Woods for Friday and Saturday night. We are really
looking forward to it. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Thanks, Karyn RUSS KARYN GODWIN 5/02/08
