Do you have inf on Sandy Panasuk Kline?  From Nsncy Hannon Jorgensen

It seems we are quickly losing our fellow classmates.  Last week I visited the Vietnam Memorial Wall before attending the Annual Reunion of the 1st Cavalry Division. I served with this Division in Vietnam and while at the wall I remembered our fellow classmates whose names are written on the wall and those who served and still carry memories of the war with them daily.  Like our fellow classmates we continue to lose many veterans every year.  I just want to say that I am proud to have been part of the class of "65" at HHS.  May God bless you all and your families.

Hey Sam - I talked to Bea about ten days ago.  She is fine.  Not close to the fires.  Has had some smoke.

I am posting this as a "thought about our classmates." 

A personal thought and a thank  you for The Nancy Hannon Jorgenson's Memorials . at our reunion. For some  our class size is droppiing....The carona virus; sicknress, etc.     My thought is/was that we all have known each other and attended not only high school   junior high and elementary school as well.  We developed friendships that are always going to be a memory of a life time, even though we are in separate parts of the U.S. and world.

With that said, (and from a persoal experience a number of times on my part), we don't always get the chance to communicate in some manner to tell the people we know,  to see how they are.    We had a monsterous size class and I would encourage you to "reconnect" with people we know and appreciated in school as well as other people in our lives.  Don't wait until you think..."I will see them at a reunion or luncheon.    

We have had some outstanding people who have excelled and moved into some fantastic professions.   I believe we all have had some great careers, no matter what we all have accomplished.    Keep your profiles up-to-date and perhaps and communicate with those whom we think of  but not remembered.    It only takes a few minutes to jot a note on our web pages, email or call them, to let them know you were thinking of them, and maybe write some special event or craziness you have had with them.   Yes, even the silly things we did at "LOU's drive in.      Sometimes this little bit of time can make them feel like they have not been forgotten.   

Take care class of 65.   We saw a lot of history during our years at high school...the earthquake; JFK assassination, and even the SENIOR CRUISE.    Thanks for letting me bring SUE on the cruise as I knew I was heading to Viet Nam.   By the way, Sue forgot my name when I was in Viet Nam, she wrote me a "DEAR JOHN."

God Bless you all.

Don't have much to say, except it would appear our Class is Fading Away each Day.

To Bob Kerns You mentioned Ginger LaBrie. 

 That sparked a time when You & Ginger were at Christie Soderquist's House.

We were Having a good time. and what sticks out in my memory is You Titchling Ginger until you had her Gigling on the Living Room Rug

I have read Many of your Letter's about some of our other Cassmate's.

I could go back and reply to them now that we don't have too many opportunities to go outside.

Unless you live like a Hermit on a half acre of High Bank Water Front in Mukiteo in a house built in 1935. 

Just a little bit older than most of us.

Perhaps The Germ Thing can be an insentive for those of You who have the Time to spend a few hour's togther at a place where there are Friendly Masked 0ld HHS Friend's.

Put My email addres's in below.

Have a few thing's about Myself on this site some where.

Being a Functioning Hermit I admit to reading more of the things on these pages,

Than adding to them.

Thank You Julie for getting Me to engage a Little bit.

Looking at the photo's in the Anual next to Me it would be nice get together with those of You who can still remember You own Name.

Mad Mac is easy to remember. I also have come up with an easy way to use when I Can't  Remember My own Name. I'm going with Fred. You know, The Guy down the street with the Chubby Sister...

Go ahead and Look at My place in these Memory Website. 

Left My email address's Below.

Give Me a few Gigabite's of Your time if The Spirit's move You.

Will there be a 60th Reunion ?  Nancy Hannon Jorgensen 

Nancy, We're talking about it and will be sending out more information and questionaire soon!

Dave Sabey

I sure hope we have a 60th reunion.  We were Seniors in 65 so why not celebrate the fact that we are Senior Citizens in 2025? I am really looking forward to seeing everyone.  How can I help make it happen?  DAVE

Dave, we'll be in touch!

How sad that the 5 have passed.   It is so important to send an email to those that you know or that made an impression on you.   

Don Austin

Due to a Providential change in plans, I will not be at any reunion this year.

In early April I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer of a particularly aggressive kind. At the time my brain surgeon predicted 2-6 months survial as the entire tumor could not be removed without paralyzing my left side. 

However, I am truly blessed.  I have lived  blessed life.  I am 78.  I have had two great careers, first as a high school English teacher (1970-1986) and then as an attorney (1986-today).Genesis 50:20.

I am blessed by my strong Christian faith, my wife Susan (a North Texas Bible Belt woman) who shares that faith inspiringly.  A loving family and incredible community of faith where all the Psalms are in our hymnal and we sing most of them (Trinity Church in Woodinville).  And scripture to binge read now that I am not working and have time to read, meditate, and pray.  (Psalm 142:7 has been my life script for the past 25 years.)  

I am blessed in that cognitive function is not impacted.  No pain (no nerve cells in the brain to cause pain).  And this will not drag out like a melodrama.  Just quality time to be with family and friends.  I have strong Christian faith which began in Young Life our senior year.  An incredible spiritual journey.  I am grateful and feel truly blessed.  When you think about it, especially with the support I have from church and friends.    Isaiah 41:10.  I was not going to ever retire until God presented this retirement Plan.  A plan far better than I could ever imagine.

Blessings to you all -- 

And as classmate Pete Kaseburg reminded me recently:  "See you later."

Don: I have fond memories of you in Mr. Tice's wrestling room.  So glad to have had you in my life.  We will miss you at the reunioun and will be praying for you and your family.  All the best, DAVE

Bob Kearns

God bless you, Don. You are a true gentleman, and it has been a pleasure to know you in high school and get reacquainted with you at our last reunion.

Marcie's son Devin lives in Woodinville, and we know it well. Would it be OK for me to come visit you? If so, send your email address to rjkearns@gmail.com and we'll work it out. 

Bob

Don Austin

Yes Bob.  a visit would be fine.  I live in Normandy Park though.   Church is in Woodinville.

Bob Kearns

Thanks Don - I'll try to make it this Sunday, the 20th.

Bob Kearns

Dear 60th Reunion Committee,

Thank you for all your hard work in putting together our 60th Reunion. I look forward to reconnecting with all of you and our other '65 Classmates on August 9 at Azteca. I was hoping to see the list of all who will be attending the event, but I was unable to locate one on our website. Would it be possible for the committee to post this list?

Thanks again,

Bob Kearns

Julie Bryant (Nelson)

To see the list of those attending the reunion, go to the Home Page, then Classmate Profiles and note in the top section, the 4th line down says Attending New 60th Reunion Event.  Click on that for the list.  See you soon!

Sam Cheyne

Does anyone live close to Marysville or Lake Stevens or Arlington?   I need to see if anyone can bring me to the reunion...

Thanks.

To Julie, Barbra and many others who put our 60th reunion together.  There obviously was a lot hard work and professionalism. The venue was unblievable and absolutely fun, exciting and most of all, seeing our classmates again...I was getting a little emotional towards the end myself.   You know, even though it was 60 years ago, I felt like we were back in time.  Good conversations and looking at the successes we all have had.   We  have all gone through an unbelievable era back in the 60's...with the events, music, an earthquake ( I remember looking West on 152nd, and seeing the rolling street...),  and fun loving  times. By the way, I did not see any old people in our time together...

I need to find who was  the guy I was talking to about a BRIAN BETSWORTH.   Thank you all for making this one of my  best times and memories ever.

I just want to send my thank you to all of the organizers of the 60th Reunion.  I had a tough time sleeping last night thinking about all the great conversations I had with all of you classmates.  I have been to every class reunion so far and they were all so rewarding.  I would love to have an annual get together where we can just have a good potluck and continue to share our friendships.  I wish everyone the best of health and fun for many years to come.  Be well, Bob

Sam Cheyne

You know, if it wasn't for "POT LUCK," I wouldn't have any luck at all. 

Dave Sabey

So grateful to Barbara and Karla Bouslog and everyone else that donated their time to make the event at Azteca the BEST. So much fun sharing great memories with all of you-and our class has some of the best. The time went by so fast, that I didn't want to leave when the party ended. My wrestling coach at the Air Force Prep School always said that we may have grown up in the best of times, right after WWII and before tech took over our lives.  Many times I am enclined to agree, and this Saturday was one of those times.  We were so lucky to have grown up in the southend and attend Highline High with so many good people and so many great relationships and exceptionally memorable experiences. Thank you to everyone that attended, so great catching up with all of you.  All my best to everyone.  DAVE

Gail Denhart (Harakas)

This truly was such a fun reunion, when we are not wanting to leave at the given hour and could have probably stayed a lot longer....There is never a way to visit with everyone individually, but I wish all of you good health, great adventures and more get togethers in the not too distant future. A big thank you again to all of you that work on organizing these events so the rest of us get to just enjoy. Cheers to you and take care classmates. Until we meet again, Gail
