Regretfully, my family and I were not able to make it to our 20th Class Reunion. My two boys, my wife, and I went to Disney World where the boys high school played a football game. 

Since, I graduated a year early I had a head start on my career and creating a family. I spent 6 years in the Navy right after graduation. I have worked for Raytheon Systems Company for 15 years and am currently performing System Engineering work. I have been married to my wife Stephanie for 20 years now. We have three great kids. Our daughter Amy is almost 19 and a sophomore in college. Our son Curt Jr. is 17 and ready to graduate high school this year. Our son Joe is almost 15 and a sophomore in high school. We moved to Colorado 2.5 years ago and are loving it. If you are in the Denver area, please look us up.

So, where do I start? I always thought I'd be an old maid since I never had a boyfriend in high school. Turns out, I married a guy from Hueneme High right out of high school. That marriage produced a wonderful son who is now a senior in high school. He says he's in the movie business (works at Blockbuster). He drives an El Camino, and can't believe we used to like those in "our day". I still remember cruising main street in Ventura and the drag races in Oxnard!

I am now married to a wonderful man that I lived with for 10 years (o.k., so I wanted to be sure this time). My 21 year old stepdaughter has just given us a 2 month old grandson. Talk about bizarre, I'm too young to be a grandma. After all, I still listen to Zeppelin, Kansas, Queen (real music, as I tell my son). Oh no, we've turned into our parents! I finally fullfilled my dream of teaching piano outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. I have also been working on my family history, as my mom was a Holocaust survivor. It took me 10 years, but I did find out she had a half brother. Anyone interested, email me at smokey3932@aol.com and I'll help you get started.

Peace to all and look us up if you would like the best prime rib (and cheapest), in Nevada. May God bless you all, and I wish everyone true happiness.

Jon & Cathi (O'Donnell) Bergh
(a class-couple!)
Camarillo, CA
jcb007@earthlink.net
Jon & I have been married for 12  years & no, we didn't know each other in high school.  We were both in college before we discovered we liked each other. Jon is a Captain for the Ventura County Fire Department & works in Simi Valley.  I have two jobs so I guess we're TRINKS (triple-income no kids). I'm a real estate agent for Fred Sands Mason-Churchill Realty in Camarillo. I'm also a Flight Attendant for Alaska Airlines. Both jobs are fun for very different reasons! Jon says I need 1 more job and he can retire! Our families still live close by and we enjoy our 11 1/2 nieces & nephews. Our paternal instincts( slim to none) are fulfilled by spoiling our 5-year old chocolate lab, Shasta. Hobbies are skiing, sailing, scuba diving, camping and of course traveling!

After graduation I went into the military. After the service, I went to school for a while.  Applied to local Police Academy and got accepted.  Shortly thereafter, I was hired by Grover P.D.  Currently, I supervise a Patrol Watch and Special Enforcement Detail.   I'm married with two children, Mitch (age 9), and Shelby (age 7).  My hobbies include basketball, running, biking, and surfing (cowabunga).  A far cry for a skinny kid, with long hair, who enjoyed listening to Frank Zappa. For those of you that knew my family, they are all doing very well...
Cindy (Brelih) Lucovsky
Redmond, Washington

I have been married for 16 years to husband Mark.  (We met in college).  We have two great children, Kristin (almost 13) and Kyle 10.

We moved to the Seattle area 12 years ago.  Mark has worked for Microsoft for 11 years.  I am a "stay at home mom" but don't stay home very much.  I spend a lot of time driving my kids around to their various activities (like soccer, volleyball, piano lessons, acting class, etc), volunteering at school, and sewing.  My latest activity is golf (I never realized how hard it would be). 

Life has been really good!  I am sorry that I couldn't make the reunion, but would love to hear about what everyone is doing.

Miguel Cervantes My wife Leticia and I will be celebrating our tenth year wedding anniversary in October. We have 3 great kids Matthew, Kristina, and Daniel who keep us very busy. We spend our Saturdays on the soccer field where I coach Daniel's team and cheer for Matthew and Kristina. During the week, I'm a family doctor. I did my undergraduate and medical training at UCLA so I also spend my Saturdays rooting for my favorite football team, the BRUINS. I now practice and live in Oxnard.
Stacy (Curtis) Cook

Okay, okay.  I have been convinced that a 25-year reunion is in order and it would be my pleasure to organize another one for us.  Probably something more informal.  If anyone wants to help, just let me know!

Since the reunion, my two boys, Matthew (5) and Andrew (2), have been
grateful to have their mom back without so many distractions, especially the telephone.   For those of you who tried to call me at any other time than "quiet time," I apologize for the chaos in my house.  I have been married
for 13 years to my husband, Eric.  With three males and me under one roof, it often seems like I'm living in a boy's locker room!
[I've seen her house -- no locker room was ever that neat - Editor]

I hope to keep in touch with classmates through e-mail and look forward to receiving everyone's suggestions for the next reunion

Karen (Leho) Aldrich
Camarillo, CA
I'm married to Dan Aldrich. I have 3 of my own children, Kimberly, Rick, and Greg, and one step daughter Dena.  I'm working at my families business in Camarillo and I take care of my mother also here in town. 
Doug MacPherson
11 Quiet Path Ct.
Pittsburg, CA, 94565
macpherd@inreach.com
Doug MacPherson, (otherwise known as "EEEEEEW DOUG!" by all of the females in his class), has not changed much since high school.  He still sports the long hair and non-conformist attitude that endeared him to everyone.  Married for 13 years to a marvelous lady of Japanese descent (Fumiko), he has a 4-year old daughter (Naomi) and a yet-to-be-determined unborn scheduled for April 2000.  A computer geek by profession, Doug whiles away his off hours playing with his very expensive musical instruments in his home studio and playing poker so he can afford to buy very expensive musical instruments...He also takes every opportunity to be a nuisance to society.  Would you have expected any less?
Jeff Martin
Camarillo, CA
jmartin326@aol.com
My wife Tami and I continue to live in lovely Camarillo with our three lovely children, Brandon age 7, Tyler age 5 and my 18 month daughter Morgan. Like most people in Camarillo with kids, Saturdays are spent at Freedom Park cheering on the kids playing soccer. I coach one of my sons teams during basketball season but so far have taken the soccer season off. Not sure how much longer that will last as I am always the loudest guy on the sidelines (a prerequisite as a coach). I work at Harman Consumer Group for Infinity Speakers as the Marketing Product Manager and my wife Tami is currently in nursing school. Spare time is rare, but when I do get some I spend it with the kids (Indian Guides) or training and competing with my German Shepherd dog in Schutzhund (K9 type training).  Please feel free to drop me a line...since I missed the reunion I would love to hear from all of my Class of 79 friends.
Laura [Myers] Erhardt
Oxnard
ferhardt@ix.netcom.com
Since graduation, I have worked for Bullock's, Simi Valley School District, and Oxnard Beauty College, and I have owned my own salon. My husband, Fred, and I have been married four years this October 28th. We live in north Oxnard. I am currently a cosmetology instructor at Lu Ross Academy in Ventura, and Fred is a supervisory mechanical engineer with the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Port Hueneme.

 In our spare time, Fred and I enjoy gardening, travel, and decorating. My hobbies are doing craftwork and collecting porcelain and dolls. Fred's hobbies include model railroading, photography, and doing projects around the house. 

David Newton
La Jolla, CA
David works at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD. He is a computer programmer and spends about a month every two years out at sea. This summer, he was in the Sea of Japan. Well, actually on it, not in it.

He hasn't played his French horn in two or three years. He does have a cool motorcycle though. That's it. Bye.

Dan Ord
Singapore
Currently, I am working as Director of Consulting & Training for a
teleservices company based in Singapore but with offices throughout SE Asia.

As a result, I travel quite a bit.  My main role is to educate and advise clients on teleservice activities for their business, as well as provide training to their staffs on everything from Customer Service to selling techniques.  I'm quite happy with this as to some degree I am my own boss, source my own clients, handle my own affairs.  Being teamed up with the company opens more doors for business.

Asia is ripe for this kind of business and most of the multi-national firms
such as American Express and Microsoft have already moved into this arena (in fact, they are clients).

Finally, on the personal side, I moved here with my partner of 11 years who works in the software industry...he and I loved living in LA for almost 10 years but when the opportunity came to move on we both jumped at it.  My folks are still in Camarillo, same house and its fun to visit them - although I probably won't make it back till next year.  My Mom is actually coming out here in a couple of weeks to stay for about 1 month which will be great.

Connie (Ostlund) Varvais
Placerville, CA
Married 19 years to Dan Varvais. Got busy with a family right away - we have two boys (Jon, 17, a senior. Matt, 15, a sophomore). Teenagers are great....never a dull moment! They keep me busy with their social activities and house full of friends. We live near Placerville, CA, in the Sierra foothills. We have 54 acres on the Cosumnes River where we enjoy outdoor activities and never ending home projects! Both Dan and myself work for a manufacturer of acrylic roofing systems, National Coatings Corporation, based in Camarillo. In our spare time we enjoy fly fishing, hiking and travel. The boys snow board during the winter months; I prefer snow shoes!
Michael Sanchez
Oxnard, CA
mfs@la-arch.com
My family and I live in Oxnard and are doing just fine.  We consist of my wife Sue, my eleven yr. old daughter Danielle and my four year old daughter Kimberlin. 

I am the Senior Planner for a local architectural firm, Lauterbach & Associates.  You who live in Oxnard, and those who watch the local City Council and Planning Commission hearings, have seen me many times present numerous award winning projects to the city. Many of my projects are being constructed right now.  A hint of some projects . . . the Financial Plaza where the old Bobby McGee's restaurant used to be.  Just a bit proud of that one.

My wife is a Home Mom, and is finishing up her teachers certificate to be a "Master Teacher" status when she is finished with the program.

Steve Secara
Hollister, CA
Secara@CSD.com
I graduated in 87 from Fresno State with a Master's in Analytical Chemistry. I got married shortly there after and stayed that way for almost 9 years. The best part of the married life is my 6 year old daughter, Chelsea who lives with me half time.

I am working for Pratt & Whitney, Space Propulsion Operations, Chemical Systems Division as laboratory director of the Environmental Quality Laboratory. (Yes that means that I AM a rocket scientist!)

In my copious free time (yeah right) I enjoy horseback riding, model trains, reading and camping. 

Since my folks still live in Camarillo, I get down there several times a year and have been amazed at its growth over the 20 years.  I am really hoping that when we get together at the reunion, we will all have grown less than Camarillo has grown over the years.

Jean (Shubert) Sample
Visalia, CA
nenewhy@lightspeed.net
I graduated from San Diego State in 1985 with a BA in Liberal Studies. I had various jobs from retail, drywall and framing, to a trainer in a gym. I went back to school in 1991 and I'm now the chief Ultrasonographer at Visalia Medical Clinic between Bakersfield and Fresno. I plan to go back for my masters soon. I married Bill Sample in 1995 and we have a beautiful 2 yr old daughter Victoria. I also took a peek last week and discovered that I'm about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant with our 2nd child. Oh the beauty of ultrasound! I hope for a girl and Bill hopes for a boy. I should be able to tell in about 7 weeks!
Kathy (Smith) Quantock
Camarillo, CA
I still live in Camarillo!  Married with 3 children, Tim - Age 11, Ben - Age 5, and Megan - Age 3.  Married a Rio Mesa grad, Rick Quantock.  We both lived in Camarillo most of our lives and our paths never crossed until we were 28 and 30!

I am  the Human Resources/Industrial Health & Safety Supervisor for Lander Co. in Camarillo.  Lander is a manufacturer of Health and Beauty Care Products.

Since we had kids, I've forgotten what my hobbies are, but I do manage to play co-ed softball with my husband, indoor soccer with the girls, and a little gardening and cross stitching. (She's way ahead of me - Editor)

Wendy (Sobisky) Lee
Reseda, CA
I have set up shop in Reseda selling American Indian art. I feel, after that history class I had at Camarillo High School, that it effected me in such away that I want to give back to the American Indians by buying their art and selling such to the public that it helps in supporting my cause and in turn it helps to support me. The moccasins from the 70's don't compare to the ones that I offer. The items that are selling on my site are all made by the First Americans or in factories (yes, they've come a long way) who employ American Indian craftspeople. There are two sites to choose from:
http://www.sobi-sky.com
http://americanindianart.safeshopper.com

I was the shy one with long dark hair in high school who didn't think she had a future, but now I do. Please check out my bio when you have the chance.

I'm not single, but not married either. The relationship is fine the way it is and why fix it if it aint broke:) Bobby and I have been together for 4-yrs and he's one hell of a golfer, pool shark too! My last marriage, well, OK I was too young to know any better. Two years from the day I graduated. I thank the guy upstairs that I didn't have children to worry about from that. There is more, but I'll leave this alone so poor Barry can include this in [Thanks Wendy! - Ed.].

I love everyone and was very happy to see most of you who made it to the 20 year ACHS 79 reunion (as I couldn't be found for the 10 year). I thought it was well created for everyone and I thank those so much who put it all together. I hope that we may have a 25 or 30 year that is just as good and that we may see those who we've missed from the recent 20 year. 

Love always from a true Scorpio, Wendy Lee Sobisky 

Lori (Snider) Boyster
Lake Arrowhead, CA
After high school, Sheri Haggle and I moved to San Luis Obispo to try out our new wings, but every weekend came back to Camarillo. We missed our friends and families too much. In 1981, I graduated from Ventura College with a degree in psychiatric technology. During school, I worked at Camarillo State Hospital and stayed there till they closed the doors in 1997. In 1991, I met my husband Griff at my sister’s wedding and in 1993 we were married. We tried moving to Grand Junction, Colorado, where my family has all migrated to but eventually came back to Camarillo. We have a great 6-year-old son Beau that we just love. We now live in Lake Arrowhead, CA, spending most of our free time at the ice skating rink where Beau plays hockey. So I’m a hockey mom.... I still am working, now at Arrowhead Behavioral Health in the emergency room. My life is full and busy. I still have my great friends, my best friends ... Sher and Pam. The reunion was a blast.
Cindy (Tolman) Howard McKinney,TX

I have been married for 15 years and in Texas for 12. I have 5 children ages 14 to 2.(3 girls and 2 boys). I received a Bachelors degree in Nursing in 85 and have worked part time while raising a family ever since. My husband Randy is a native Texan and is currently in the telecom business though he is a writer at heart. My spare time is spent coaching soccer, playing with cub scouts, taxiing children to sports, music lessons, etc., and trying to figure out what to make for dinner.

To see what my clan and I are up to, check out our Web site. This page is part of our site. There are so many people I hope to see at the reunion. The email conversations I've been having with people have shown me how much we have in common -- even with people we didn't know in 1979! Pretty scary. 
   
 

Your name here.  (clever, eh?) Plenty of room.
