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.

A belated Happy Birthday Theresa. You look wonderful!! Great you got to celebrate with your sisters. I turned 74 Feb 5th. One of the "youngsters" in our class. Can we really be in our 70's - no way😉. All the best this coming year!!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Dear Sandra (Young as you are!):    We had better give our very loving wishes now!!  Birthdays such as ours are pushing the envelope from the Class of 1964!  Where did those years go?  So glad to see so many good friends, looking good and sharing greetings.  We have a lot of history around us now!  Just think of the fun and good times!!!!  Flowers and roses do the trick!   A glass of wine on the patio with friends and family is the best!  We so need a Class Reunion again at the Hotel Woodland!!!  Always a joy!!

Paula Buchignani (1966)

Theresa Eve:  Wising you a Belated "75" BD🎊🎈🎉🎂?>?

Theresa Eve (1964)

Paula:  Thank you for your Birthday Wishes; as to all of our 1964 Classmates.  I will always remember your brother in our class, Richard Buchignani, who was so artistic.  He developed our class mascot, the Purple/White Giraffe; class song "High Hopes".  Richard was great friends with Alfred Catalan; always saw the two together.   They were the ones who put the frogs in the Woodland Library Book Return!!!

Tim's, a common place to see our Woodland High School 1964 Classmates.  Love this picture.  

Gary Wegener (1966)

I worked at Tim's ~ 1964-66..  Who could ask for a better job in high school.

Got to deliver food orders on Tim's Honda 90.  My dad was dead set against motorcycles because of a bad accident he had as a kid, but I got him to go for one ride with me.  He mellowed, I got a Honda 90 and pretty soon Mike Blank got one and we had some awesome back road trips.   

Turns out pop's bad accident happened riding in the country past a farm house and their big dog always chased him, which he found amusing.  Till one day the dog got a head start and nailed him.  Pop said he woke up a day later in a hospital room with padded walls.  Go figure.

Took the Honda 90 to Cal Poly my 1st year and would ride it home up 99 on breaks.  Slip streaming behind a semi was the only way I could keep up with traffic.  Fun times but lucky no accidents. (Yet).

Bill Hoecker, my mother's (and Charlie Hoecker's) younger brother, still lived in the big house on third street when we were little kids going to Beamer school. He was a motorcycle fanatic. He rebuilt bikes in our garage and was especially fond of Indian motorcycles. He often took us for rides around Woodland on the back of his bike. He would take corners tilted almost sideways. Very exhilerating. Uncle Bill moved to Whittier and became a motorcycle highway patrolman. By the way, he married a lovely Cherokee woman from Oklahoma. (irony? coincidence? insert bad joke? never mind.) Later my brother David bought a Triumph motorcycle to my mothers horror. He and Vern Larson used to ride all over Yolo county together especially up Rumsey and Guinda way until Dave took a spill on a gravel road. He got a little scraped up, so that was the end of his riding days. A few years later when I was living in Bowman, I borrowed a room-mate's Hondo 50 and took it for a joy ride...no helmet...no leather. I hit some gravel on a curve, tore my elbow open and ended up in the hospital with 36 stitches. Live and learn, eh?

Craig - Considering the bunch of partiers I hung out with in that cabin in Bowman, I believe I did see a Martian that morning.

Joel Childers (1966)

CORRECTION: A thousand apologies to friends and family of Vern Larson whom I inadvertently named as my brother's motorcycle companion. It was Vern Ivie, who's name escaped me in a senior moment.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Joel Childers, when I think back to the 1960s and the Folk Music, I think of your older brother, David singing Wolverton Mountain on the guitar.  He was a great guitar singer.  

Jean Wright (Johnson) (1960)

Just a note to Dick Pardini, i just received a email from him and i do believe he has been hacked.

Jeanne Johnson

Joan Richter (Lucchesi) (1960)

Jeanne Johnson, I don't think it was Dick's everyone I sent an email out to in the class got the same message.

Gary Wegener (1966)

About a month ago, I sought guidance on the forum about "secure certificates" being offered by Class Creators (our website host) for an additional $35/yr.  Got some real positive responses, and some mixed reviews about how much added security it actually provided.  Regarding price, I was advised that $35 a year was on the cheaper side for this product.  

 What was clear was that not having the feature created definate appearance problems ('not secure' labels on webpages) in addition to whatever degree of site vulnerability was left uncorrected.  So I got 5 yrs protection and will re-evaluate it at that time.  The difference you will see now is the padlock icon in the address field on all our web pages.  You can sleep safe tonight... :)

Bernard Rocksvold (1965)

Thanks Gary...... Smart move!

Jean Wright (Johnson) (1960)

Hi Gary 

I just was curious if this "secure certificate was in effect at the time of this fiasco happening?  I do hope nothing comes from it?  

Jeanne

Gary Wegener (1966)

Jean, I signed up for the 'secure certificate' ~ 26 April and noticed they had it installed/activated it on the 28th.  I am not sure how widespead the hacking you are addressing got; I don't believe I got any Dick Pardini related emails.  I just talked to Dick and he said he didn't think what happened was related to the website.

From what I have been told, hacking into personal information for a whole website requires an extensive amount of focused effort on that particular site, and hackers typically don't waste their time on it unless there is a perceived benefit to the hacker.  We don't fit that profile.

Here I am in Sheldon, CA  working out with my Arabian Horse,  Monte.   Jim Barger, Class of 1963

Theresa Eve (1964)

Jim:  Good picture with you and your horse.  Keep on riding, good for the soul and body.  Nice to see you are active and doing well.  

Jim Barger (1963)

Thank you Theresa,

Monte was an Arabian Horse that was given to me by a Fellow worker at Federal Express.  Their Family raised Arabian Horses that they sold to Sheiks and Patrick Swaze.     All I had to do was Geld him, Train Him, and Find a Place to Board him which I did in Sheldon, CA.   I have had him for Twenty Years and we have had fun together.  I support him and he supports me.   I have had a Horse in my Lilfe ever since my Days in the US Army.  I vowed that If I survived Vietnam, I would get a Horse when I got home and I did.  Jim

Theresa Eve (1964)

Good story.  Horses know and love their owners who care for them with love.  He looks good!

Gary Wegener (1966)

Did we forget to pay the forum bill or are we all asleep after celebrating the loosening of the mask rules?

Gary Wegener (1966)

Should we try 'knock knock' jokes?

Craig Roberts (1965)

Works with you.  Thanks!!

Joel Childers (1966)

A classmate has identical twin grandsons named Amal and Juan. She showed me a picture of Juan. I said, "Where is Amal?" She said, "If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
