Hello Eagles. After many years of being away, we have moved back. Was a wonderful experience traveling as a Navy wife. Settled in Bremerton, Washington and raised our four children. We were there 38 years. Glad to be back. One incentive for coming back was having the kids here and five grandchildren. Retired from Central Kitsap District after 26 years working with special ed. I sub for Juab school district now. Mostly high school. I try to keep active, but those old aches and pains seem to manifest themselves all too often.  Hope to see many of you there.

Wow, was working on the renunion and had a ball.But, then I was carrying a computer sheet (with the pokie things on it, so I could roll around on my chair).Fell, broke my arm, Send pics.  Missed something I had been looking forward to for a long time.  Oh, well, hope everyone had a ball. Looking for some male help!!!!Claudia

I was one of the ones that didn't want to go to any of it because of self-image problems.  I decided to quit worrying about it and just go.  What a great time!! I feel this was the first reunion where people were focusing on each other and just making sure we were OK with our lives.  It wasn't about how successful you are, or what great things you have accomplished, or what positions you have held.  (I hope that's not too mean)  I felt everyone was genuinely interested in talking to all that came.  We would look at the name tag first.  Then we would just hug and chat. Thank you for all your hard work on this.  Both venues had lots to offer.  Each one different and great!                                          Hope to run into some of you before the next one.  Joyce  

Hi Ya All!The reunion was spectacular!  I had so much fun.  It was an event I'll always remember.  It was so good to see everyone.  Congratulations to the committee for working so hard..it was a great success in my opinion!  Thank you for making it possible!  I would sure like to go to another in 5 years (at our age, that's a long time!)Robyn Sims

The reuinion is quickly approaching, so I thought I'd better send a little message.  It doesn't seem like another decade has come and gone.  I enjoyed the last reunion and look forward to the 40 year to see friends that I've thought of through the years.  We're just barely "Empty Nesters" after having children at home for 37 years. There were only 4 of them, but were spread out in age.  We're alsoenjoying and loving our 11 grandchildren.  My husband, Larry Fairbanks, and I have wondered though the years if the SKYLINE EAGLE that was in the student body room is still displayed and what kind of shape it's in after so many years.  My father in law donated it to Skyline sometime between 1964 and 1966. While all of the planning and work was done on the reunion we were selling our home and leaving the area we lived in for 34 years.  We actually left the city and moved to Midway, Utah.So far, we love it here and won't be ready to move again for another 34 years.  Age 92? See you soon!    Sharon Van Wagenen Fairbanks

Sharon and I were so looking forward to coming to the reunion this time, but recent unexpected changes in family plans makes it impossible to attend after all.  Thanks to you who have contacted us and reconnected even though we will be absent.  Have a great time.Judd Sheranian

Hello to all of you!  It's been a kick to remember our youth.  (Typically, I'm lucky if I can remember yesterday!)  I value my memories of high school and have always been grateful for an education.  Rob and I have been married 36 years and it has been a sweet ride.  We have 3 beautiful daughters who all live with their families nearby and are so grateful to be sharing grandparenting.  I have had a long career as a social worker, working with teen pregnancy.  He's been a lawyer----and turned out to be much brainier than I realized when we met.  (I never sluffed a class 'till I met him!)  Best wishes to each of you and may your dreams continue to come true!  xoxo

Just reading the names of all the Eagles brings back the memories and emotionsl.  It will be good to see everyone!  Looking forward to hearing all the stories.

     Curious thing this Internet.  I hadn’t subscribed, yet my email kept being pummeled with messages, events, searches and such, from “Classmates” and “Reunion”.  What’s a Guestbook?  I opened them a while back finding there was a map indicating my house.  That’s not my house in Classmates, Scottsdale yes, but further North, surrounded by a lot of desert between homes and a golf course.   There are a hundred James Cluff, what with a great grandfather and his five wives and thirty-five children and his brother, who begat likewise, let alone my identity being pinched.  Perhaps one of those is the me in Classmates?  Will the real James Cluff please stand?  I noticed that most every ’68 Eagle produced a few “Desmond and Molly Jones”?  A Reunion?  Forty years?  I don’t wanna grow up, at least not that much!  If someone attends claiming to be James Cluff and offers to buy drinks at the bar, well heck, let him!       Shortly after Dory McQuarrie’s wedding I exited the Valley in search of a second opinion.  I have owed Marcia Timmerman an apology for as many years for a remark I made at the reception that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but failed.  My current whereabouts is 18.43° N and 64.71° W.  Caribbean waters or Mediterranean, I can’t decide which I enjoy most.  I told Doug that I liked being surrounded by water and/or sand and to hear graceful accents.  Jimmy Buffet and Margaritaville are around here somewhere.  I’ll keep searching.  Storms chase you here and there at this time of year but, have charted a course for SLC by September, though I’m not sure the trade winds are favorable at that time.  Invitation received.  Have fun, kids.

I will not be able to be there since I'm in Iraq at Camp Taji. This is my second war and it's just as bad as I remember it.  I'm here as the Theater Wide Contracting Athuority (TWCA) Lead Proeprty Administrator.  I can honsetly tell you that no one in America is at war excpet the poor guys over here.  I don't really care weather you support the war or not but these guys need our help. Remember your freedom is due to those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for it...

Hi Everyone!  It's been fun to read all your posts.  I doubt I can attend the reunion, so hope it all goes well.  Looks like a great event has been organized.After Skyline, I went off to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis MD and then drilled holes in the ocean in a nuclear submarine for several years.  Married Patti Morgan (Skyline '70) 35 years ago and we have two kids, no weddings or grandkids yet.Attended U. of Washington grad school and have lived in the state of Washington since 1979.  Retired from Hewlett-Packard Company a few years ago and am working on a second (third?) career.Skyline is the source of many fond memories and I'd love to hear from you.Have a great time at the reunion.Al

I've never been notified of past reunion's and looking forward to seeing all of you

I am Bary Peterson's wife and received the invitation.  I am sorry that he is no longer here and we miss him everyday.  High school is such a unique time of community and memory building.  I hope you all will remember Bary and all the good times you had with him.  He is no doubt watching the rest of the parade we are all moving in.  I know he would want all of you to assess your lives and live for what really matters, life is at the most only 25,000 days long.  If that were dollars it would be very little.  A book that Bary loved and gave to his brothers is The Purpose driven life by Rick Warren.  Hope many of you will pick up a copy.  Have a great time reflecting on the past and the good ole days.  They were the best. I too graduated in 1968 and will always be a product of the 60ties.  To infinity and beyond!  Dianna Peterson

gee- i'm just about 10 blocks away. my daughter will be a junior at skyline. we're so old they don't have us in the display case or hanging on the wall. i'm glad we remember we were there. yes, lets get together and have group.

Hi Everyone ... Looking forward to seeing familiar faces in September!  My wife Patty will be coming along with me ... We have to take a flight from Newark, NJ to get there on Friday for the Mix-n-Mingle, so wish us luck getting there on time!  See you there!  Bob Alm.

Hello Friends!How I look forward to seeing you in September.We were so fortunate to associate with such outstanding young people.  I have alot of fun memories with many of you!We are all getting better and better with each passing year!

I can hardly believe that this is happening.  How did I get so old?  It seems like yesterday when I was singing in Concert Choir, Madrigals, playing  in the orchestra and finding a little time for homework.I am looking forward to seeing my old friends and talk about the great times we had.  I hope I recognize faces and remember names. But don't count on it since i hardly recognize myself anymore.

I am one of the late ones to post.  Had to find someone under 30 to download.  Maybe by our 50th I'll take the time to learn to do it myself.  Sooooo interesting to read how far and varied our experiences have been.  My only disappointment is that more of us aren't participating.  Sad to see so many in the memoriam section. That part really doesn't seem possible. Life is too short.  Hope more will be able to attend, or at the very least send in some info.   Terrie

Looking forward to seeing everyone.Just to let you know  I DID NOT MARRY TOM MITCHELL. I married Nick Snow (East '66)--been married 35 years. We got married at SNOWBIRD. Just thought I would get that out of the way.  Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Hi Everyone,     With schedule permitting, I'm down for the reunion.  I made the last one (30 year) and it was terrific. Seeing people you haven't seen in so many years, where did the time go?  Seems like yesterday, Don Foote, Doug Olson, Chris Utley, Pete Black, and I were playing dances, and assemblies with the Poor Boys.  I guess the old saying, "Time flies when you're having fun"  is true. We're the lucky ones now.  So many are gone. 

Class of 68! My wife Lenni (Van Grol) East High 68 and I have lived in Boise since 1975. They consider us natives. Actually Lenni was born in Idaho Falls. I sold Pharmaceuticals for 18+ years. I have had a brokers license(securities), a real estate license and now deliver mail for the United States Postal Service. I'd rather be retired. We have a son and daughter. 7 grandchildren, 6 girls and one boy. We have excess estrogen in this family. We are looking forward to September. Hi all.

I'm looking forward to this reunion!  We haven't been able to make the others because of family and other commitments.  We have lived in the Tacoma, Washington area for 30 years.  Five children and 12 grandchildren later, Bruce and I are still happy and healthy. See you in September!Pam

Hi All,It's great to have this opportunity to see some of you again!  From reading some of the entries it sounds to me like we're still a pretty young group.  After all, many of us have 30 years to go, right? :0)I just got married on June 19th, to the beautiful Celeste Melville from the Adirondack village of Corinth.  We live in Denver, enjoying the good life as I hope all of you are.See you Soon!Bill

Sadly I have lost contact with my Skyline friends except for Sharon (Funk) Sheranian, who I reconnected with in a local Toastmasters' club. The last reunion I attended was 1988 along with another reconnected eagle, Kathy (Anderson) Christopulous - unfortunately she died of cancer shortly afterwards. I have been married for ten years to Lloyd - my great love and soulmate (it took two failed marriages for both of us to find each other). I have one daughter, Katy, but get this - I gave her up for adoption and reunited with her over twenty years ago. She has a wonderful husband and four delightful children.I have lived in the shadow of Mt. Olympus all my life. Yet my life has been anything but sheltered. My varied life experiences include working thirty-two years for Salt Lake County (Parks & Recreation, Aging Services and the Health Dept - officially I'm retired but not quite ready for the rocking chair. I'm working part time for Salt Lake Valley Health Dept. in my vacated position as Health Educator. I also work Saturdays at the Beaded Puma, where I have taught classes in a revolutionary craft material, precious metal clay. I was also a volunteer DJ for KRCL ten years.

Looking forward to reuniting with all of you - great memories of band, orchestra, track, cross country, maybe some extracurricular stuff every now and then!!I didn't graduate with you all - spent my senior year in California - but like I've never crashed a party before!Like the song says:  "See you in September!"Bill Higgins

I transferred to Skyline between my Sophomore and Junior year.  I attended Jordan my Sophomore year where I knew almost everyone, a school of nearly 900.  I played football my Sophomore year – all 5’6” and 120 pounds of me.  I never went out for football at Skyline, knowing I was way too small.  I really enjoyed watching the Skyline football games – especially my Senior year when they took STATE!  I thought those football players were “awesome”.   It was very hard for me academically at Skyline.  At Jordan, I did very little homework and got B’s and C’s.  At Skyline, I actually tried very hard.  Let’s just say I did graduate.   I had seminary as a Junior   My teacher was Brother Call.  He seemed to have things together, selling shoes at night, teaching seminary by day and he was newly married.  I believe he had a new little daughter.  As I look back I probably got more out of that class than most others.  In Brother Call’s class I had a secret crush on 2 girls, Sharon and Elaine.  I don’t remember much else except I thought the girls at Skyline were very attractive.   Although it was a painful experience going to Skyline my Junior year, not knowing many students, I was able to finally adapt and became more outgoing.  I enjoyed my senior year and hung out with Guy Thornberg.  Guy lived down the street from me.  During our Senior year, his folks moved to Oregon and so Guy moved in with my family.    I bought a ‘65 Chevy Super Sport working nights at Deseret Book downtown.  I enjoyed racing that round my senior year.    40 years is a long time but there are great memories I still enjoy.   I often wonder what happeded to Steve Lewis, Pete Black, Tom Kalagorie, and Tom Faust.  If you guys are alive, I’d love to hear from you.  I still live in Holladay.   Dave Wathen 801-898-7749

Hello Fellow Eagles,Darn! Double darn! I won't be able to make it to another reunion.  My oldest daughter is getting married a few days before the reunion and I can't manage participating in both events. I've watched the videos of the last couple of reunions.  It looked like everyone had a great time.  Our class is a wonderful group of people.I live in San Jose, California.  I've been happily married for 30 years to Mimi and have 2 wonderful daughters, Jennifer and Stefanie.  (I'm patiently waiting for a grandchild!)  After graduating from the U of U School of Social  Work in '73, I started with the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children's Services as a child welfare social worker.  I currently work in administration.  I hope to retire this December and "re-invent" myself. (I don't know what I want to do when I grow up!)I hope you're all well,  God willing, I'll see you for the 50th.Take care,Randy

Wow, we can't be that old!  Although the joints tell me otherwise.  I have two beautiful daughters and live only 5 miles away from where I grew up. Graduated from the UofU and am an HR Manager at a wonderful company.  Single and loving life, but still waiting for grandkids.  Of course the granddogs are wonderful but just not the same. 

I am also astounded that forty years has flowed on by. I have many fond memories of skyline and have kept close to robin winburn and laura horiuchi who I meet for lunch once a year. I married a fine man and we are still rearing children in our old age. I have a private practice in marriage and family therapy. We live on 2 acres in highland, utah and spend our days on the soccer field or at violin recitals. We are grandparents to four who have recently moved to seattle and we ache for want of them in our day to day life. Yet, I have never been so content. Perhaps age is actually more than its cracked up to be. Hope to reunite with all those gentle friends I remember in gratitude.

It's hard to believe 40 years have passed. I retired last year after 29 1/2 years as a Special Agent for the FBI. My career took us to San Diego for three years and Chicago for about 18 years.  We are back in the area now.  We are empty nesters with two daughters who have given us four grandchildren.  Life is good.  I'm looking forward to seeing all of the familiar faces whose names I can't place due to the cobwebs. We live in Layton. My wife, Carolyn, went to West High (don't hold it against her) and now works part time at United Airline.

Greetings!  I have one son who married a wonderful girl with two little boys whom he has raised and is living in Austin, Texas. I graduated from Westminster College of Nursing and have been working as an RN for 26 years. Have lived in Colorado and Northern California and am now back in SLC. The last reunion I attended was in 1978 and it was a blast. Thanks to all those putting this one together.

Hard to believe that 40 years has sped by.  Thanks to all on the committee for putting this together.  I am still in Arizona.  My wife of 13 years and I have 8 kids between us, and 18 grandkids.  Life is good in the Gila Valley.  I try to help our community as Superior Court judge. I run for re-election in two years.  Look forward to the reunion in September

Can't wait to see everybody.  My wife MinNette and I live in Pueblo Colorado, and we are finally empty-nesters.  Between the two of us we have 11 kids and 16 grandkids.

"You are only as old as you feel" is my husbands favorite saying.  He is MUCH older than I am chronologically but he refuses to grow up.  Therefore, so do I.  I am looking forward to seeing EVERYONE again.  I feel terrible that we haven't been able to find everyone yet. Please help us.  We need addresses and emails.  Not just "I ran into so and so".  Everyone on the committee has been working so hard to make this a success for you.  I feel grateful to know such great classmates.  I plan on definitely being there to see everyone and to support all of those others that have been working so hard.  Please join us. I would love to hear from anyone and everyone.  As PETULA CLARK said: "Call Me, Don't Be Afraid to Just Call Me."  (801) 971-4037

I was so excited to get the postcard---this is the first reunion that I have known about--and it found me in Ocean City New Jersey! I had lived in Sparks Nevada for 39 years and recently moved to NJ . 40 years! where does the time go!!!

40 year reunion???  I don't know about the rest of you but know I am not that old!It has been an honor to be working with the reunion committee and I am looking forward to connecting with old acquaintances & friends in September.

I CANNOT believe it's been forty years!  Where has the time gone?  Maybe to raising my six children and they in turn raising their children (19)!!  Now, we're just down to one...Tag, the four legged kind.  See you in September. 

I must be getting old to realize that I graduated 40 years ago.  I was the quiet one, no one knew me, and I slowly slipped down the dripping halls, didn't raise any ruckus, and just plain got an education at Skyline.  Never been to a reunion, but this time might be the first.  Live in Brigham City, thus close enough to come and see all you OLD people.

We've got a great reunion planned.  There are some who have worked so hard.  We need everyone to come so that we can reconnect and catch up.  I'm really looking forward to seeing you all.

It will be great fun to connect with all of you again.  Will I recognize you?  Will you remember me?   I still live in Everett, WA where my husband builds custom homes and I teach gifted 5th grade.  My eight children are grown and all on to their own paths.   Forty years is a lot of water under the bridge!  I do get back to SLC several times a year to visit my dad, and I'll be there in September!

Retired and living happy.

Hi Everyone,So glad to be able to come to this reunion!  I have been in CA for 18 years but now am home.Reunion time--40 years, someone has got to be kidding me!Claudia

I am excited to be able to come to this reunion. Unfortunately I have missed the previous ones. I am looking forward to seeing everyone!!

The program looks great.  I will look forward to it.

This sounds like fun.  What a great idea to have a hike in the canyon.  I haven't kept in touch with any of my high school friends.  It will be a treat to see everyone.  I'll bring the pep club history scrapbook that I found in the Skyline locker room trash several years ago.  What a coincidence! 

I love these reunions!  So fun to re-connect and catch up with my great classmates.I am back to work after being retired for 6 1/2 years.  I'm an Internet Banker.  My two kids are grown and flown away.  No grandchildren yet.I live with my sweetheart of the past 4 years, and we enjoy traveling and the peace and quiet of our small "farm" in Erda when not working.Can't wait to see you all in September.  The hike in Millcreek sounds like lots of fun!Write to me if you have a minute.Jona

Hi Ya'all!I'm so looking forward to re-connecting with you and hearing all about your life's journey!  It has sure been a ride hasn't it?!!  I'm living up in Tetonia, ID which is in the Teton Valley (over the mountain from Jackson).  My husband, Buck, and I have enjoyed the peaceful life and slow pace that living in this mountain valley has brought us the last 12 years.  Can't wait to see you!

Hello everyone,This year is my political year and maybe I will be at the National Convention for Republicans the week before reunion if I win my nomination. I was married the week after our 20th reunion and now I have two wonderful sons and a great Scottish husband Kalani who was born in Hawaii and is probably going to be working in England soon. So my time tables are shaky. We live here in Colorado Springs. Hope to see everyone in the fall.

Hello Fellow Classmates!I am really looking forward to seeing many of you in September.We sure had fun at Skyline.  What a great group.Come help us plan the reunion!Take careSharon

Hi Everyone!I'm so excited to see you all in September.Please make sure you sign the Guest Book or use the Contact Us page or just put your pictures and story on the CLASSMATES page...Lots of ways to get in touch
