Ground Rules

(By posting in this forum, you acknowledge that you have read and will abide by these rules.)

The website was continued after the 2013 reunion for the enjoyment of the members.  They shouldn't be subjected to annoying posts when they come to the Message Forum.  Forums work when people participate - so don't be bashful.  But be respectful.  This may seem like a private chat room, but 800 of your classmates have access to it (along with ~two dozen of our former teachers), and many more classmates read than participate.  

The administrators reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.  Access and participation on this forum is not a right, it is a privilege and abuse may result in suspension or revocation of WHS60s site access at any time.  

Abuse includes but is not limited to personal attacks, offensive, demeaning, excessive or nonsensical posts, badgering, foul language, etc.  It is not a place to disparage others, especially deceased classmates.  Posting involving politics or religion are prohibited as they typically and quickly become offensive/demeaning.    

We don't actively monitor the forum, but respond to complaints and take action as deemed appropriate.

Hi Gary, I went to the 60`s reunion with Paul Giusti, Raul Castenada, and John Canavari. I did get sick slite fever and symtom like flu lasted 24 hours. I called Paul he said he got stomach cramps but doesn`t know if it is related to the dinner, haven`t talked to Raul ior John yet. If I were to pin point the source I would say it was the Pasta Salad just didn`t taste the way Pasta Salad should, didn`t eat it all.

Gary Wegener (1966) We closed the Reunion GI survey and are sending the results to the Health Dept and hope to meet with them next week to get some conclusion to this issue.  No smoking gun yet.

**********************************************

THERE IS A SHORT SURVEY FOR ALL REUNION ATTENDEES AT THE RIGHT SIDE OF HOME PAGE, TOP: "Reunion Gastro-Intestional Issues". Please click it and a short form is available for you to fill out.

"Sorry to feel the need to do this, but we are asking all that attended the reunion dinner to respond to this survey (we know who got tickets, but not all attended).  We want to know who experienced gastro-intestional problems after the Sept 15th Reunion dinner." 

"If you are still experiencing problems, the Environmental Health folks are recommending you see your doctor as the duration may be an indication of more serious problems.  If you do see a doctor, would you please ask for a stool sample, as it will enable the Environmental Health folks to better analyze what happened.  The survey results will be confidential with respect to other classmates, but provided to the Environmental Health folks."

"Thank you for your forbearance on this issue as we try to work through it with Anderson's Catering and the Solano and Yolo County Environmental Health departments." 

If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Wetzel Bruno debbie@bellavierealestate.com/530 848 8046 or Gary Wegener gwegener4098@gmail.com 530 908 4914. "

This is a tough bunch - 1959

And to think that the manager of the team, Ed Kindelt, would turn out to be my former husband!!  He loved interacting with kids, maybe that is why he was such a great dad to our son and a great person as a probation officer.  All-and-all he was a wonderful father and grandfather - is definitely missed at baseball and football games.

We had such a great time at the reunion!  It’s so unfortunate that so many were ill!  

John Davis (1965)

Mr. Summ suggested the baseball all star team pic attributed to '59 may be a little early, 1961 is more likely; I stand corrected.  JD

What would WHS homecoming be without Carol Hiddleson Wright (61) still doing cheers and keeping up with the current cheer ladies!  Way to go Carol - a true inspiration.

Emmett Brannan (1968)

Hey was wondering if anyone else has had or is having a return of the health problem?

David Hughes (1967)

I just can's seem to shake the flu like symptoms.  I believe I am finally there, then my stomach starts to churn.  Off and on.  However, I think I am almost finally back to normal after two weeks.  The symptoms were the worst for the first three days, then just lingering and getting milder each day.  On another note, the decades reunion was a lot of fun for me.  It was great visiting with friends.  Thanks to the committee, I know it was a tremendous amount of planning and execution, well done.

Charlotte Apodaca (Lucero) (1961)

I will be contacting my primary physician tomorrow, the flu like symptoms continue 😱😱😱>p>

I will keep you posted!!!

Mahlon Hile (1964)

Had an issue on Thursday 9/27 morning and had to hurry off the cardio.  Quick onset (D) went to the doctor got a prescription for Ciprofloxacin an antibiotic, provided samples for Quest labs to culture and check for toxins.  Three days of medication and I am feeling better.  Stay hydrated.  Hope to have the results back soon.  Have felt lethargic just plain tired and not hungry..  It was and excellent event and am looking forward to our next get together.  The memory wall is troubling as we lived through the turbulent 60's and for what ever reason those that are lost are still our friends and contributed to who and what we are today.  Learned alot about life when I was in the Army and now attend military reunions and try to help out our wounded warriors that we have today.  Have visited numerous military bases and training facilities and I am very proud of the young men and women that take time out of their lives to give us the freedom to pursue own goals and make choices that are unafforded to most people in the world.  Direction, leadership, compassion and a sense of purpose seems to be their take aways.  11B's never know if there will be a tomorrow or you will make it through the night.  Try to make today the best day so clean up stuff when walking through the parking lot, take in an extra cart, read to those grandchildren and kiss them good night and remember rumors become evil when fertilized with BS and your friends are your friends. Being sick tends to make us introspective,,, sorry

Walter J. "Wally" Summ (1967)

I guess I can attribute how I feel to the reunion dinner.  I hadn't thought much about it..but, I don't have much energy, I tire easily and my body is still experiencing chills.  These symptoms have been ongoing since September 15th.

Nancy Rollins (Gantz) (1968)

Nita Keehn (1962)

"Me Too"...Symptoms have returned; the big "D" and exhausted feeling. I have an appointment with my MD tomorrow. Will stay in touch.

Rosie Zaragoza (Ramirez) (1963)

I also got ill but just for a day.   I only took a bite of the salad.  Fred was ill for four days and he ate everything.  I'm suggesying it was the salad, since I only had a bite.   So add us to the list.  

Gary Wegener (1966)

Again, like to reemphasize that if you are still experiencing symptoms, medical folks say it is time to see a doctor.  And if you contribute a stool sample, it will help identify what is going on.  We will be closing the survey soon, so if you went to the reunion, please be sure to take 5 minutes and complete it.  It will help the health dept.  Thanks, and again, apologies that this happened.

Gary Wegener (1966)

oh yes, the survey is the top of the tabs in the left column of the website: Reunion GI Issues.  Thanks.

                                        R.I.P  LIZ

It is with sadness that I post the passing of our dear friend and classmate Liz, Class of "62". I sent her a birthday email on her birthday and received back from her husband Bill that Liz had passed away 8-5-18 after a long illness with much suffering. I responded with my condolences and ask permission if I could post her obituary for her friends and classmates. He replied that they had removed themselfs from public life with her declining health issues and that it was her wish to just fade away. I respect their wishes and pray for his comfort and support. Liz was truly one of a kind, and I will always remember her. 

Robert Cowing (1965)

I fondly remember Liz for her dellightful laugh and sense of humor.  She was a light that always shown bright in my world. She shared a loving kindness not seen too often and less today. Liz I miss you. I am thankful your sufffering is no longer. Rest in His arms, His peace and love.  May God keep and comfort your family as they struggle to embrace your abscnce and give them peace to walk and accept their grief of you no longer being with them. By Liz . . . see you some time soon. - Robert
