Welcome to our Grossmont High School class of 1964 web site. Right it's in a simple form so it works on everyone's PC or Mac. It's a place for everyone to share stuff about our class, fellow foothillers, and each other. The important thing is that THIS SITE IS FOR EVERYONE!!

We want this to be a place where we can catch up on what's been happening, stay in touch, and just share stuff — sorta like when we would hang out with friends, or eat lunch on the quad, or see others around school or in classes, or go to dances and football games, or cruise Oscar's and Burger House, or just go to the beach and lay in the sun or maybe pretend we were great surfers.

Here's some of the things we've got going now and other ideas in the works:

  • Class Pictures: Click here to see our senior pictures plus lots more from our '64 yearbook (click page images to enlarge).
  • Blogs: You can set up a blog at www.blogger.com . I will list those published if you like.
  • Memorial Page: We may put together a page to remember deceased classmates, with thoughts and tributes from friends, classmates, and loved ones.
  • Links to GHS and Other Class Sites: Only a few other classes have their own sites. The Class of '65's site is www.grossmontclassof1965.com. Deanna Sampson is the webmaster. Her email address is dlsampson@cox.net. The Class of '66's site is www.ghsclassof66.info. Paul Miller is the webmaster. His email address is GHSClassof66@aol.com. The Class of '63 has no web site nor point of contact yet. The Class of '62 is thinking about a web site. Sandy Kochian Weber is the point of contact. Her email address is SWeber0844@aol.com. Click here to visit GHS's site and click here for GHS District's site. At those sites you can find info on current events and activities, other classes and alumni, and lots of other stuff. Click here to see GHS and our class of '64 on Wikipedia. Click here for links to the La Mesa Spring Valley or here for the El Cajon elmentary and middle/junior high schools many of us attended.
  • Links to San Diego News and WebCams: Here's some links for those of you who live else: San Diego Union Newspaper, Channel 8 TV, Channel 10 TV, Zoo and beach web cams, Downtown San Diego web cams, & local mountains web cams.
  • Tunes and Movies:Great sites for a huge selection of sounds and videos (including many going back to "our time") can be found at www.youtube.com and www.video.google.com. Classmate Luther Burney also offers the all time top rock and roll tunes at www.lutherburney.com.

REUNION
Our October 30, 2004 reunion at the Hilton was GREAT! Totally packed -- with lots of conversation and fun seeing old friends. The women were still beautiful (of course!) and the men still handsome and dashing. Click here to see galleries/slide shows of pictures, and click here to share your pictures and stories.

Your 40th reunion volunteer committee members: Sue Siner-Macomber, Kathy Ziegler-Ries, Janet DeSanti-Drummond, Carol Suggs-Ambrosia,Janet Bodine-Madden, Bill Hoffman (web site), and Luther Burney (Hawaii stylin' consultant).


MEMORABILIA:
We're looking for memorabilia pictures you might want to share. So far, we've gotten some
great pictures from classmates who are getting into the spirit and sharing (cheers for their bravery and efforts!). Click here to see galleries/slide shows of their pictures.

Now we need pictures from the rest of you. Remember, our site is for everyone -- so the more pictures we get, the richer our site will be! There were about 550 of us in our class, so it would be really far-fetched to think that only a handful of us took interesting pictures since our freshman year at GHS. Pictures can be from the reunion, of you and yours then or now, significant events in your life, from our days at GHS, or anything else you'd like to share. Don't be shy. Don't be selfish. Your friends and classmates would enjoy sharing your memories.

No digital prints? No excuse! Most drug stores, Walmart, and Costco can easily convert prints to digital (JPG format) and put them on a CD at very little cost. Then, all you have to do is pop the CD in your PC and email your newly digitized pictures. As an added bonus, you'll be able to make prints from your CD if your originals are lost or damaged. Please try to keep the size, of each picture you send, around 800 x 600 pixels -- and please don't send more than 5 mgs of pictures in each email or your email will bounce. Now gather your pictures and c
lick here to send them!

Class Yearbook: Click here to see many of the pages from our '64 yearbook.(Click on the images to enlarge them.)

Concert Band Album: Tony Johnson, our classmate and Sandi and the Accents drummer, has provided us with Grossmont Concert Band's 1964 album!. Click here to access it. Much thanks to Tony!

Christmas Pageant History: Classmate David Dillon discovered a very interesting report on the history of our Christmas Pagent. Published in 2003 by Professsor Dunlop at the University of Missouri, it has lots of facts, trivia, and pithy comments. Click
here to see it. Much thanks to David for forwarding it and to Dr. Dunlop for writing it!

GATHERINGS
45th Get Together - Sunday June 21, 2009 (2:00 PM)
Kathy (Ziegler) and her husband Ron Shedd generously invited everyone to their beautiful Poway home to celebrate the 45 years since we left the "halls" of Grossmont. The party was a great success. Perfect weather; relaxed atmosphere; delicious food; and lots of good stories, hugs, and handshakes. THANK YOU KATHY AND RON!! Pictures will follow as soon as they are all available.

60th Birthday Party in San Diego- October 14, 2006 (5:00 to 8:00 PM)
It's official...we had our 60th birthday get-together on Saturday October 14!! CAN YOU BELIEVE WE'RE THAT OLD??? It was at the beautiful Marriott in San Diego's Mission Valley. Lots of fun and great catching up. Click here to see one of the group photos. The next day, Jody Baumgaertel had a follow-on party for the "Dining Divas." Just think, in a coupla years, we'll be playing this!

40 Years Plus One Gathering- Saturday Afternoon - October 15, 2005
Our October 15th gathering at the Mission Bay Hilton was a great success! Lots of fun seeing old classmates, plus lots of entertaining stories from school and and later years. As the sun set, some stayed at the Hilton for dinner while a self-proclaimed "rowdy bunch" descended upon the Old Town Mexican Cafe. Click here to see pictures of the gathering at the Hilton, the Old Town Cafe bunch, and a side party of the "Dining Divas" at Jody Baumgaertel's in La Mesa. Contributing photographers were Jeanie Faulkner, Jill Leland, Jody Baumgaertel. (BTW, Jody wanted to make sure all the women in our class know they are automatically invited to be a Dining Diva. The purpose is to have a fun time swapping stories and laughing at all the stuff that seemed so important back in '64. Contact Jody to find out about the next get together.) Again, many thanks to Mike Hateley, Dianne (Mentzer) Pornish & Steve Hager for all their work in putting this great event together and for keeping our class spirit alive! Stay tuned for more upcoming get togethers, some of which were suggested and "promised" as the evening (and drinks) progressed. Our "collective" 60th birthday party was one of those ideas (60th being the next birthday most of us will be "celebrating" -- now there's an unsettling thought!) Other get-together ideas are welcome!!

Class of '64, '65, ' 66, and '67 Interclass Picnic on August 16, 2008 (10:30 AM to 5:00 PM)
The Class of '66 Alumni Committee put together a fun, interclass picnic for all of us in the coolest classes -- all the classes who were at Grossmont when we were seniors! Click here to visit Class of '66's site and see the pictures when they are posted. It was lots of fun seeing (and trying to recognize) everyone from the days we were all on campus together!


Tips

Seeing the Latest Version of our Web Page
When web pages are updated, some people still get the prior version. If this happens to you, and you're using Microsoft's Internet Explorer on a PC, try hitting your F5 key. If that doesn't work, hold down the Ctrl key while hitting F5. This is a common problem caused by the prior page being stored in your cache or proxy server.

Locking Up Your Name/Domain on the Internet
You might consider locking up your personal or company name ("domain") on the Internet. More and more people are doing it. The cost is about $9/year. If you do it, no one else in the world can use your name as an Internet domain. If you don't, and someone else registers your name, you're out of luck. Only one person in the world can own each unique domain name on the Internet. You may not want your name now, but the way things are going, you may want it in the future. Recommend you get both the ".com" and ".net" version of your name. Click who.godaddy.com if you want to see if your name is still available. Click www.internic.net/regist.html to find all companies in the world which are authorized to register domain names. Recommended registrar is GoDaddy.com .
