Marty and Gene....Thanks for taking the time to nosh with an old guy. I had a blast and hated to leave. Say hey to all and maybe we'll meet again next year.

Funny, how time slips away when you’re having fun. The clock seemed to tick backward when you reminisce. Gene Bravick and I just finished a 2hr lunch with Jay Dudley. Jay is wintering in Palm Springs, away from his digs in Idaho. We talked about Cassi, Sharlene Schnor, Karl Keeney, Lyn Comstock, Suzie Dykstra, Frank Winn, Gary Osborne, Carol Perry, Cheri Christinelli, Lois Valenzuela (where are you)….and so on, all the people we grew up with. We decided that Fleming and Narbonne must have spawned the prettiest girls, and the greatest guys in the L.A. basin. Jay thanks for making the trip to San Pedro from Palm Springs for friendship, not to mention the lunch.

I NEED A 1965 ANNUAL FOR MY NEPHEW ROGER W. BROWN. HE ATTENDED FLEMMING JR. HIGH FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WOULD HAVE GRADUATED WITH THE 1965 CLASS OF NARBONNE HIGH SCHOOL IF HE HAD STAYED IN LOMITA. HE MOVED TO LAKEWOOD GRADUATED THERE IN 1965. HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN. HE LIVES WITH JIM & I AND TAKES CARE OF HIS MINIATURE POODLE TASHA. WE TRAVEL IN OUR MOTOR HOME WHEN WE CAN AND ROGER WATCH'S THE HOMESTEAD IF HE IS NOT TRAVELING WITH US. HE HAS MANY FOND MEMORIES OF HIS FRIENDS FROM LOMITA AND ROLLING HILLS. HE WAS IN THE VIET NAM WAR AND SERVED IN THE ARMY. HE JUMPED OUT OF PERFECTLY GOOD AIR PLANES!!

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK LYALL BARRETT FOR THE WONDERFUL DATA BASE HE MAINTAINS FOR ALL OF THE REUNIONS FOR NARBONNE HIGH SCHOOL. WITHOUT HIS HELP ALICE AND ALL OTHER CHAIRPERSONS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD SUCH SUCCESSFUL ALL CLASS REUNIONS, THE POPULAR COMBINED REUNIONS AND THE INDIVIDUAL REUNIONS. MY HAT IS OFF TO LYALL, ALICE, BECAUSE YOUR HARD WORK KEEPS US ALL IN CONTACT WITH SO MANY GAUCHOS. THANK YOU NARBONNE HIGH SCHOOL HISTORICAL FOR THIS WONDERFUL WEB SITE!

Hmmm......Interesting dialog about reunions. This website created by Cassi S’67, was hatched from one of our reunions and parties. The concept behind the site was to stay connected. My class W’67 was very small and out of necessity we had friends from the preceding and following classes. Since many of us had married Narbonne girls and boys from other classes, our reunions were never exclusively one year or another. Also growing up in our neighborhood we played and went to school with both younger and older children, forming lasting friendships. Regardless of age or any other distinction it’s always great to share food, conversation, memories, and music with old friends. Much like the parties we had during and long after school.

It seems that at each of our reunions and parties a few more people are not in attendance, only present in our memories. Sometimes people we haven’t seen for 40 years come, knowing that it may be the last time we see each other. In fact, our first party was a send off for one of our friends and team mates, knowing that it would be the last party we all would attend together. We had so much fun that it had spawned several others.

OOPS! Sorry Alice. I hit the a instead of the e. I thought dissent was acceptable. Perhaps not on this website? The confusion caused by invitations to a multi-class reunion/gala/party/extravaganza/whatever...was not my doing. The opinion that multi-year class gatherings may have an adverse effect on attendance at the all-year reunions organized by Alice Sanchez is not mine alone. The opinion that 50th reunions should be special events for that class only, is shared by many others. Especially given that Alice has organized many wonderful all class reunions for over 20 years.

Enjoy the summer..and Happy Easter to all.

04/10/09 Fred Hartman
 

What's up with the confusing invitations to the 50th reunion for the class of 1959 ??? Many alumni from other classes are getting invitations. Why? This has confused many people that think Alica Sanchez has organized another multi-class reunion. Like she has done so well before. This is not the case. Alice has nothing to do with this 1959 reunion. Perhaps a committe of one decided to change the nature of a 50th reunion, and make it somethig other that a special time to share affection with fellow classmates from your own class. Don't be mis-led. Be careful before you decide to attend. Attend if you choose, but be aware of the truth.

HELLO ALL GAUCHOS FROM THE CLASSES OF 1957,1958,1959,& 1960. PLEASE IGNORE THE OUT BURST BY FRED HARTMAN. HE IS MISTAKEN TO THINK THAT THE COMMITTEE FOR THE CLASS OF 1959 WHICH IS COMPOSED OF TEN CLASSMATES WOULD EVER TRY TO FORCE ANY ONE TO COME TO A REUNION IF THEIR OWN CLASS WAS NOT SUPPORTING IT AND GIVING THEIR FULL COOPERATION FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE EVENT. GAUCHOS FROM ALL FOUR CLASSES ARE ASSISTING IN THIS GALA EVENT. THE CLASS OF 1960 WILL BE CELEBRATING THEIR 50TH JUST A FEW MONTHS EARLY WITH THE 1959 CLASS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE 1959 CLASS HAS INCLUDED OTHER CLASSES IN THEIR REUNIONS. THE 40TH REUNION INCLUDED THREE CLASSES AND ANY OTHER ALUMNI THAT EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO ATTEND. WE ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE! WE ARE INCLUSIVE. SOME OF US ARE RELATED TO OTHER GAUCHOS AND MARRIED TO THEM. WE WERE IN THE SAME SERVICE CLUBS, SPORTS ACTIVITIES ETC. I BELIEVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF US ATTEND THE ALL CLASS REUNIONS. THE TRUTH IS THAT FRED HARTMAN IS MISINFORMED! IF HE SO WISHES HE MAY ATTEND AND FIND OUT WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME WILL ALL HAVE AND BE ABLE TO HELP ALICE NETWORK A BETTER ATTENDANCE FOR HER NEXT ALL CLASS REUNION WHEN SHE HAS HER NEXT ONE. THEIR ARE PLENTY OF GAUCHOS TO GO AROUND. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO E-MAIL ME MY E-MAIL IS sharon-allen92693@yahoo.com THE TRUTH IS FRED THE ACTUAL INVITATIONS WILL BE MAILED ON APRIL 17,2009 FOR THE WONDERFUL COMBINED CLASS REUNION TO HELD ON OCT. 17,200. IT WILL GO OUT TO THE 1957,1958,1959,& 1960 CLASSES. BE AWARE THAT IF ANY ONE CALLS 1-800-655-7971 THEY CAN GIVE A COMMITTEE MEMBERS NAME AND REQUEST AN INVITATION TO ME MAILED TO THEM.

Hi Marian, I haven't been on the site in awhile. I was reading the blogs from November 2008 and noticed that you were looking for the panoramic picture of the S'67 class. I do have mine, though after nearly 42 years it is a little tattered around the edges. If you would like to contact me I will do my best to get it copied and send it to you. In high school my last name was Gagon.

01/10/09 Ralene Hansen
 

Hi again Marian, My bad!! I thought I had the S'67 panorama picture but it turns out it was actually from the S'64 class from Dodson Junior High School. So sorry!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to a great New Year.

Thought I would drop a line to all who are interested that NHS finally got lights on the football field. During the off season, a whole new stadium was built, press box and all. This year Narbonne met San Pedro at night on the new field and after a double overtime defeated the dreaded Pirates.

Class of 1963 45th Reunion

Finally got the first "official" flyer out about the 45reunion this August 2, 2008 for the class of '63. Will be on the Grand Romance, a 3-tiered riverboat berthed in Long Beach, across the bay from the Queen Mary. Cost will be $85. As of last count I have 239 names and addresses in the database. If you know of a classmate from '63 that hasn't been to a reunion, let me know so I can check if I have their info. ESPECIALLY you brothers and sisters out there whose sibling was in the '63 class. I've had good success locating classmates thru their older or younger brothers and sisters. LET ME KNOW!

Another year gone, and another Narbonne party. Coach Gilson brought back a flood of Fleming memories. Football Carnivals, track meets, and swats. Remember playing football, and asphalt basketball during nutrition and lunch? Growing up with great friends some from elementary school, evolving from children into prepubescent teens. The trauma of your first shower after gym. Remembering the fashion and music, who can forget the mini skirt? Cassi and the other girls seemed to be all legs. The music stirs emotions and memories. Mr. Henry, Miss Benisek, Mr. Small, and Coach Brown, were great guests. Beautiful women, great friends, and teammates, can't ask for more.

John Everett, Hello from Howard Day. Great to hear from someone in the class of 61. Look me up at bjday@sonic.net. Love to hear from you. Howard

Hi to all the Summer and Winter '61 grads. Haven't seen anyone from those classes on this site yet, but if you are here, please sign in and let us know where you are and what you are up to. I have not seen or attended a reunion for this class for a number of years, but I don't think I "am lost". I wanted to add Coach Wells to the In Memoriam list, as I understand he has passed on, but that is just word of mouth. Let us know if that is not the case.

That annual '67 was owned by an Ann Pivarski?? This is according to the seller. Not in our class W'67. Jay Dudley

Just a quick note if anyone is interested...I happened to notice TWO Narbonne El Eco's on sale on e-Bay. They have a buy is now price of 24.99 and are years 1966 and 1967, So if you misplaced yours and want to have one you can check them out...If anyone does purchase either one of these I would be interested if you can tell who's they were.

I had lost one of my Fleming Jr High yearbooks and found one of the same year on e-Bay a few years ago. I cannot tell for sure who's it was, but whichever Susan it was I had signed it for her...LOL.

WOW WOW WOW...I hadnt been onsite lately and to my extreme surprise and enjoyment I saw that Mark had posted all the Green and Golds from our senior year....For those who didnt know or who had forgotten, I was the editor of the paper that entire year and will never forget getting each and everyone of those issues out. I am fortuante enough to have a bound set of those issues that was given to me at graduation.

They bring back such great memories and as tame as they were a couple of the editorials I wrote (with MUCH help from Wendy (Minnick) Franklin), got me in trouble with the authority figures. Once I was called into the coaches office and shown the error of my ways and had to apologize to the BOOSTER CLUB (Jan 13 and 20 issues) in person for my comments, but the strangest event was when one of the women coaches called me out of an English class and thre me up against the lockers in B Bldg and read me the riot act about an editorial(4/21/67 issue) I wrote about a teacher who was fired in Pennsylvania for having her High School class write about a certain banned substance. After that I was called to Mr Smalls office and then Ms Prices and again read the riot act...in fact for the next few issues Mr Small had to approve my editorials before they went to orint...Think of the stink that would cause now...The ACLU would be all over it..LOL. Very few of you knew about these troubles or would imagine that I was actually a bit of a trouble maker in the eyes of the administration.

Each graduating class thinks its own realm wonderful and unique. And probably, subjectively speaking, rightly so.

However, I think we children of the 60's and 70's came of age during very interesting times. I want to thank each of you for wonderful times back then, even those I only knew as a brief smile on passing on campus.

My baby sister. She is missed terribly by her 3 children and her grandchildren. Her parents, two sisters and brother can't accept or understand why this had to happen to her and mourn her passing every minute of everyday. Anyone that knows Donna knows her as a sweet, loving and kind person. She didn't desearve what happened to her but all we can do now is be grateful that she is finally getting her rest and peace that she deserved in life but could only find in God calling her home.

WOW! What a great reunion we had Saturday night. I was so excited to see everyone and was amazed at how great we all looked for 40 years! What amazed me even more was how many of you I recognized without looking at your name tag. I think a great big thank you should go out to Scott Mann for putting this together, and to Cassi for having this great website so that we can all keep in touch and know about great events like our reunion. Some of us were talking about making the next one in 5 years, and that sounds really good to me. Ten just sounds way too far away!! Oh yeah...the audio of the Senior Play "Thieves Carnival" was done by our old drama teacher, Mr. Tom Nielsen. He put alot of work into getting it to me, so once it is up and on the site, please take a moment and listen in. Take care everyone and keep in touch.

Great to find this site--really appreciate Cassi's efforts (somehow got here via Classmates.com and Scott Mann's presence there).

"His family is grieving the passing of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was a wonderful friend and we miss him so very much. To honor him, his family has established a scholarship at Narbonne High School to be given yearly to a student who will be going to a vocational training center.

I was surprised to discover that girls basketball at NHS was "big time." In (16) years, coach James Anderson has led the team to (2) national titles, (3) state titles, and (7) city titles.

It was a very good day at The Taste in San Pedro and hope more Narbonne Alumni will come next year. It appears that the Narbonne Alumni Pinic is going to happen again in July 2007. I'm sure someone will decide on the exact date so everyone can keep that weekend open. It was alot of fun and great to see old classmates again, and have time just to relax and visit. For those of you who were to busy to make either event. Admit it with enough notice you can schedule to organize your socks some other weekend. So there should not be any reason not to see more of you in 2007. To Leota and Alice, ladies great job again, Thanks!!

After attending the Reunion Pinic on Saturday and seeing some of the great things people were able to save all these years it made me think of a box my Mom had sent over several years ago. As luck would have it where was gold in that dusty cardboard. Nothing less than an original class photo from Fleming Jr. High Class of W'63 (man you people look young). And an original class photo From Narbonne HS W'66. I am going to see what the chances are of having some copies made of either or both photos if anyone wants one to replace one that got lost over the years. Let me know if anyone needs one and who might do a good job on copying them.

A special thank you goes out to Leota Castillo for putting together the Class of '66 Reunion Pinic held Saturday at Torrance Park. It was great to see everyone again who could attend, and the ones who could not were surely missed. It was nice to be able to sit and talk and those who brought some of their old Annuals and past reunion programs helped make the day. It would be nice to have a Narbonne Sixties Alumni Pinic once a year just to re-connect with old classmates. Who knows it might turn into a big yearly event. Again Thanks Leota and all the other ladies who helped out, it was a fun day.

Remember when there was a dress code for students AND teachers? How nice it was to see the female teachers wearing dresses and heels and the men in their slacks/sportscoats and ties...(sigh) the good old days. Students these days dress like slobs and try to out do one another with how big and baggy their pants are or how short their skirts can get. I actually enjoyed dressing nicely for school in the sixties and I felt good about myself. But then, the times have become so slack that even employers don't enforce dress codes...However, I did live in the Southeast for about 25 years and even when I left 2 years ago, the work place dress code was strict. In fact, the South reminds me a lot of the good old days. Even in their public schools, they've adopted a uniform dress code...it's so much cheaper and easier on the parents and takes a lot of peer pressure of the students. It's really sad to see these young kids exposing everything they have..I guess they think it's the only way to be cool and "in". I am SOOOOOOO glad I'm a child of the sixties!!! What a remarkable time to grow up..we had it all, didn't we? I loved my school, my teachers, my friends and my life. Weekends spent sunning at Avenue H, or at Torrance Cliffs with my then boyfriend, Pat McDowell. Life was so simple then and yet so rewarding. I'm so happy I married part of my past...Dennis Wuethrich...we have so many things we talk about and remember together. AND I know where he comes from and what his character is. I wouldn't want to be a young person today, but I would go back in time to the campus of Narbonne High any day!

Last year, I traveled to the remote, south Pacific island of Guadalcanal. A famous World War 2 battleground, it is located approx 1,000 miles N/E of Australia. In the small capital city of Honiara, I had conversation with an American and somehow mentioned I had attended Narbonne High School in California. The American blinked and asked when I had graduated. The American blinked again, and said, "We were classmates !" Lou Gloyne and I had failed to recognize each other after (50) plus years. But, whenever and wherever Gauchos get together, a great time is guaranteed !

Ok my fellow Alumnus, some of our fellow classmates of the Class of '66 are asking if we are going to have a reunion, right now there were no plans, but since so many are asking, I thought maybe we can get together at one of the local parks and have a picnic sometime in June/July/August and all are welcome and then maybe drinks afterwards. Send me you reply if interested. Also Scott Mann has suggest a get together at Point Fermin Park August 5,6 @ 11 am to 7 pm for The Taste in San Pedro. The cost is $5 to get in and everyone buys Taste Ticket to purchase food, beer, and wine.

It seems that there still isn't a site that makes it easier to find and contact old friends. Maybe somebody can work on that.

I've been reminded twice ths week of what an important decade the sixties were. First by a website I visit often, the other by a retired college professor I had the pleasure of talking to the other day. Time has gone by so fast that we may have forgotten how lucky most of us were to be just the right age in the sixties. From young teenagers to young adults in a short ten years. The professor felt the sixties did more to shape the United States than any other decade in the last hundred years. Maybe so, maybe not , but I do remember in was quite a blast. I'd like to do it one more time knowing what I know now.

I hope any Reunion for the Class of '66 has not died a slow death. Here it is February and no new info is being posted. If nothing else let's get together, play some golf, have a few drinks and lie about "the good old days'. If we wait until 2016 it will have to be a morning event so we can all stay awake. I'm open for suggestions, like we'd say in Nam we should do something even if it's wrong.

I have a great idea! How about everyone donating money to Cassi for her hard work put into this Narbonne Site. I think we all could start off with $12.00 for the year and see what happens from there. I mean it's only a dollar a month.

I think this is a great site and it's easy for Narbonne friends to communicate with each other too! What do you think?

Regarding parties and reunions, for next year.....thought I'd try Harry's barbeque on Narbonne Ave. The owner told me he mainly did catering. I asked him if he did reunions and parties, and he said he did. I told him about this website and advertising on it would be a go way to get business. You might suggest it to your resturant or caterer for the next reunion or party....or any other business, that would be interested in a mutually beneficial relationship. It only takes a minute to ask.

I signed up for membership because my nephew asked me to. He's a current student at Narbonne HS. I personally hated life at Narbonne. I think I got a terrible education and not to mention the tension and fear I felt while attending. Wasn't any of the faculty or administration paying attention?????

I guess my ultimate pay back is now being in education myself. As an Assistant Principal, although in Elementary School, that fear comes back on a daily basis when students complain about bullying on the yard. I won't tolerate it.

I have fond memories of Charlie Beech. 2 years his junior, I followed him from elementary school to high school. We were in the same Cub Scout den. Clarlie was always a mentor and protector, and all around good guy & great athelete. In reading Fred's blog, I am happy that Charlie had the determination to pursue his life long love, baseball, and stay forever young, as long as, he could. My hope and wish is that Charlie is still in baseball, and did not have to grow up and take a "regular" job. Charlie, thanks for the memories on the Narbonne field of play....and the rest of those who competed for Narbonne....who just wanted to play the game....win or lose.

I have recently been reminded by my kids that my "circle of life" is reality, and that they want me to play and have fun more often. I think I will take their advise. Funny how now my children are telling me to go out and play!

Dear Cassi

I received your email and thank you for correcting the error to my email address. The word Verizon is right in front of me on the screen, brain fade that comes with advanced age, anyway it should be spelled with an "S".

Cassi, just so you'll know, in regards to your comment about the 1953 chevy you learned to drive in, the last I heard that if a vehicle is 25 or more years old it is considered an ANTIQUE. I learned (stick shift) in a 1954 Nash Rambler I bought in 1966. Wish I had it now = 27mpg at 70 mph! had a 20 gallon gas tank too. I've owned a Studebaker Hawk too - They are worth a BUNCH now.

Mark Twain said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled." I say, "Mark Twain couldn't get his ball out of a bunker with a backhoe." Play away !

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Narbonne,

In '73 or '74 my younger brother was pitching for an Oriole team in the Rookie League and travel took them to Oregon where they played an independant team made up of people who had showed up to a cattle call for an absolute last chance to make a buck out of baseball.

My husband is webmaster for a couple of sites, one of them being a antique car site - www.hupmobile.net.

I'd never heard of these cars until his brother's hobby of restoring them turned into the Hupmobile website and business. His brother now also restores old trucks and cars at a plant he built in Mexico. We're hoping to find a decent Ford or Chevy pickup from the 50's for him to restore for us. If anyone has one they'd like to sell cheap, let me know!

Following are the names that were previously listed on our "lost and found" page. It just makes more sense to add these names in this new blog category so please feel free to follow up with other members as you get more information. Thanks for your help!

Anyone know the whereabouts of Billy Hogan? He is a Vietnam Veteran and I don't want to see another Vet go MIA in America (I am a Vietnam Vet 69 - 71). The last time I saw him - he worked for the local phone company in Torrance. mikee@ufanet.ru

I learned how to drive on a 1953 Chevy. I'm not sure if that would be considered an "antique" or not but maybe if I live long enough it will be :-)

My husband's son and daughter-in-law have given us two grandbaby's to love and spoil...and wear us out.

Dominick is just over 2 and his sister, Aurora is just a newbie. Dommie-Salamie is a smart little guy, I've got to watch him every minute because he's very good at figuring out where I hide stuff that he shouldn't get in to!

Thought I'd post some Jr. High and HS memories.

Used to work in the student store at lunch and, what was it called...nutrition (hardly nutricious though!) at NHS and Fleming. Loved it, was nice to see smiling faces come up to the window.

On August 4th I sent out an email blast about the new NarbonneHS.Org "blog" feature...only to realize later that there was no link to the page in the member site!

It's all working now, but I can only wonder how many members logged in to check it out and then just gave up trying to figure out how to access it.

Several of us have found 9 holes of golf on Saturday, the perfect way to stay in touch. The "GAME" is non competitive, and strictly played for laughs. Fellow golfers seem amazed, that we have known each other since Fleming and before. 9 holes in the morning, leave plenty of time for the other things you have to do. GOLF FEVER....CATCH IT.

Gene Bravick and I, took our wives to a Taste of San Pedro....on a cheap date. We saw Scott Mann, we think he was selling Scott Mann for Mayor LAST CHANCE souvenir raffle tickets, to fund next years race.

For five bucks, it was a cheap open air war of the garage band concert....Food was a little pricey....2 buck can of coke, but it was for charity.....hey, parking was free.
