2 classmates found
Larry Whelan found himself listed as missing on the Web site and says he's in Temple City, CA. I've updated the page to reflect that.
Jon Allen talked to Gabriel Esquibias, the manager of the Busy Bee Cafe in Ventura, who turns out to be a classmate although he wasn't listed on our found or missing list. I've added him to the found list. He used to walk along Poli Street from the Avenue to get to school and then take the route back home after school. The good news: At least there was no snow.

Posting comments
After I sent the last update to the Web site, I got an e-mail that one class member had tried to post a comment and gotten a login screen. Becaue I'm new to blogging, I wrote the hosts of the site and got this answer today:
"Even if you select the option for anyone to comment, the login screen will
still appear (so that people with Blogger accounts can still login and
attach their profile information). However, there will also be a 'post
anonymously' link on the same page that anyone can use, even without
logging in. I'm sorry about the confusion."
So go for it and post away (I hope).

Update on Ventura High School Foundation
After updating the page with information on the 2004 Brown Bag and class reunions, I got this e-mail from one of the officers of the VHS Foundation with more information about items it has available and a correction to one of the Web pages. If you're interested in school-related souvenirs, this is the place to go. Here it is:
Hi John,
Just viewed your '59 website. I enjoyed reading all, and glad you didn't get ME in one of those photos at the Brown Bag. You "did" get my Foundation workers though, hanging our "Memories" poster, to sell photos and license frames. Your class, of course, was our best customer, since you were having your reunion that weekend. Sold 50+ photos of our great old building, and a few license frames. I'll have them there next year also, hoping that another 50's class might include the Brown Bag with their reunion. Meanwhile, should anyone want photos or frames, they can contact me at JudiBasso@aol.com or Classof57@aol.com
I sure wish "we" could find someone to do a website for the Foundation, ... I see that you are a member too, and we thank you. We now have a little over $12,000 in the kitty ... I'm just writing to say that I noticed a couple of things you might want to change, and have already forgotten one of, as am older than you. No big deal if editing is not an easy task. For now, I can only remember that you mentioned Greg Stiles, '55, as possibly planning a rose garden for new building? it's Curt (Curtis) Stiles.
Okay John...Thanks for the memories..........
