They were the owners of the Tokay Glass Co. accorcing to the Class Reuion directory of 1970, and, it said they had one child.                                             1970 Koetitz, James Kraemer, Alyce Death lies on her like an untimely frost   Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.+ Lind, Jeff In the 1970 Class Reunion Directory, Jeff was an Asst. Gen. Agent for American Natl. Ins. , he married Julieann Medeiros and they had two children. 1970 Long, Sharon McBurnett, Don In the 1970 Class Reunion Directory, Don was listed as being an Ironworker and that he and his wife, Kathleen, had two children. 1970 McCelland, Craig Miller, Barbara The 1970 Class Reunion Directory states that she was an owner of a resturant and she and her husband Bill had three children.  Lloyd Moos Dale Erhardt wrote:<I also believe that Lloyd Moos has passed away. He was married to my cousin Peggy Hanchu>.  According to the 1970 Class Reunion Directory is was at that time an Electrical Engineer and his wife was Peggy Lee who was a teacher. 1970 Murdock, Gary It was one of those odd moments, the other day,  when suddenly time suddenly swept me back to an autumn day much like today,  but it was 41 some years ago, I was stepping out of my boyfriends car onto the muddy driveway of a large diary farm that belonged to the Murdock's.  My boyfriend and Gary were old friends. I had not known Gary even through we had been going to the same High School for over three years.  We were warmly welcomed by Gary's Mom.  She said Gary was still out in the barn helping his father so my boyfriend went off to find them and I went inside  the house, a warm and friendly place,  and talked with Mrs. Murdock.... Gary Murdock & Kathy Tomlinnson 1970 Somewhere in the conversation his mother apologized for her son's messy room and explained that Gary wouldn't allow her to clean it  because of his collection of bird nests. After Gary and my boyfriend came inside,  we did go into his room. In Gary's defense, the room wasn't messy at all and I could understand why he didn't want his mother cleaning around his collection of bird nests.  It was quite a collection he had found in the valley.  With each nest were one or two eggs of the birds which belonged to each nest. All of them were carefully labeled. He had a right to be proud of his hobby....  We saw a lot of Gary and his family who held an open invitation to us for Sunday afternoons when the Murdock family played Yatzee....  After High School I think I saw Gary maybe once or twice at our reunions.  I always reminded him of his mother's embarrassement of that corner where his hobby was ......  Now, after having two sons of my own, I think of how many times I must have started to be embarrassed about their rooms when they were teenagers but I'd  stopped and remembered how unimportant clean rooms were for teenagers. Isn't it curious how certain  moments in our lives touch each of us and how we carry those moments with us all through our lives? By Judy A. Remmick-Hubert The 1970 Class Reunion Directory tells us that he had been a Highway Engineer and Commercial Pilot. Pleasant, Harold Porter, Lennice Lennice was always quiet so I nicknamed her "Miss Mouse". In grade school and high school she would sit hours and hours with her best circle of friends and listen.  There weren't many listeners in our teenage world. Perhaps that's why I remember her so vividly. [Memoirs of Remmick-Hubert] She married Fred Reese. The 1970 Class Reunion states that Lennice had three children and she worked at that time as Mgr. of a Tire Store in Citrus Heights. 1970 Rister, Darlene Roezler, Margaret The Class Reunion Directory of 1970 states she had  married Paul Hoover and they had one child 1970 Schlenker, Donna Schock, David The last time I talked to David was at our 2000 reunion picnic at Lodi Lake.. If he was ill, then, with cancer, I didn't know.  As usual when we first meet, he'd ask about my Dad who is retired and use to  work at General Mills along with David.  We talked about Woods school Reunion he had hoped of organizing..... I'm not sure how long he had attended the school, however, he was there when I arrived. Just as we started to talk about what the others who had gone to Woods, David Christofani and his wife arrived.... that was the last conversation I'd had with David  I dug around my old photographs but I couldn't find any photos of him other than our high school photographs....

If at all possible could you please include Kevin's name on the page. The Lodi News Sentinel inadvertently excluded Kevin when they ran the obit the first time. The Sentinel ran it again the following day with Kevin's name. If not it's OK I would understand.  Thank you for including David on the class of 1960 web-site. He was the most wonder father-in-law anyone could ask for, the best papa to our son William, and an all around wonderful man. He is deeply missed by his family!  Thank you for you time.  Alonda Schock Shultz, Timothy Tim always made me laugh and was always doing something that was always on the edge because he was always ready and willing to try something new and different. [Memoirs of Remmick-Hubert] Terrill, Donald The 1970 Class Reunion Directory stated that Don was married to Toni, had three children and was co-owner of a drive-inn. 1970 Truelock, William [Bill] Ueland, Dave In the 1970 Class Reunion Directory, Dave was married to another classmate Sandra Gauntt, they had one child and he was a truck driver. Warnecke, Joyce Joyce married James Houghtaling, they had two children.  Williamson, Stephen Willis, Betty Jo Betty Jo and I were best friends during our senior year, until she was chosen as one of the princesses for the Grape and Wine Festival, then we drifted apart.  It was required for Betty Jo to be part of the Queen's Court who were to be part of a group who were required to  do only group activities.   I remember the first time I visited the Willis' old Victorian farm house that was bulging with her family which included 12 of Betty Jo's younger siblings....  In one room there was against the floor board a  long row of worn shoes  that would fit the youngest to the ones Betty Joe had grown out of....  Betty Jo explained that when shoes began to pinch to tightly, they placed them in this row in it's proper place and took up the next pair to wear.... The last time I was in that huge old house,  I helped Betty Jo make dinner.  I peeled thirty potatoes, cut them up and boiled them in a huge pot, and mashed them.  I don't recall how many chickens were fried but it took three fry pans and what was half fried was placed in the oven to finish.  For the first time I realized this must have been how my mother's family was every day for the dinner meal.  It was a lot of work..  Everyone had their duty to make it all work.  Their table was huge with two long benches on each side.  At each end were chairs for her parents.  No one whined about what they were eating....  I was grateful that it wasn't Betty Joe's night to wash dishes because that was my least favorite chore.   It was just a few weeks later when Betty Jo's little sister / brother  [my memory fails me as to what gender] fell off a trunk and hurt  his/her head. The child died a few days later.   Betty Jo and I talked a lot about  God death and if there really is a place called heaven.  It was difficult for her to accept that the child's death was, according to her priest,  God's will.  I learned a great deal about the Catholic Church from Betty Jo.   On the lighter side, Betty Jo and I talked about her boyfriend and my own, who was dating who, school classes and activities,  and, what we were going to do after graduation. The last time I saw her was at the Grape Festival with the other princesses and the Queen being presented  on a stage to the public in the football stadium.  Wisner, Frank I first met Frank as a classmate at  Grade Five in Woods School. I immediately liked him.  He was the first person I knew who was a Diabetic.  He was, also, the fastest runner I had ever raced.  He knew how much I hated losing a race and he use to laugh and laugh  [not maliciously] then  he'd urged me to race him, again and again. With this broad grin he'd stay two steps in front of me.   Usually his best friend Alexander Glaros would remind him of his Diabetic  state and this always brought to Frank's face a look of sadness. His health  must have prevented him from  many things in life.  I didn't understand in my youth what it meant to be a Diabetic and  what it meant, then,  he was aware death was always lurking around the corner and would arrive earlier for him then the rest of us.  With the progress of  new medicines, a person, can, now,  live a  more normal life. [Memoirs of Remmick-Hubert] Frank married Marlene Sherfield. They have three children. Wright,  Jr., Charles In the 1970 Class Reunion Directory, Charlie was said to have been a Staff Sgt. in the USAF, he married to Patsy Morra and they had one child.  Wright, Patsy Hi Judy,  I'm afraid I have some bad news. We have just lost another classmate.  Patsy Wright [Childers]. I am waiting for her husband to send me her obit. for more  details, but I guess she passed on March 19, 2001. GOD love her and her husband and  family. I guess she has been very very sick for at least 2 to 3 years now. Will send you more info when I have it. Rita Henry  If you have a story of our friends who can, now, only be with us in our memories,  please share with us. *by Judy A. Remmick-Hubert + Shakespear, Romeo and Juliet, v, 3, 92.
