A memorial service will be held for Don Murdoch at 11:00 am on May 17th at the Elks Lodge, 500 Bush Street.

Don never forgot the Class of "62 or Woodland High.  He served us again and again at reunion after reunion and in between.  Let's not forget him.

Unfortunately, I am on an extended road trip and will miss Don's memorial.  Bill T

But here is Don at our last reunion.

Mike Miller (1966)

A post card from 1962 sent to my parents from Harvey West. Boy Scout troop 464.

Ron Blickle (1963)

I thoroughly enjoy my three summer camps at Harvey West Boy Scount Camp with Troop 69.  I still try to get up to Echo Lake on accasion to walk in or take the ferry to upper Echo thru the small channel connecting the two lakes.  I have tried to find our old camp site, but not sure I have actually discovered the former camp site.  The camp was closed down many years ago for sanitary reasons.  Evidently, the septic systems were not designed to handle the volume of a camp of that size.  It is now back to an all natural state again.  Not sure if it was deeded over to the Forrest Service or still in the West Family.  Any other input? 

Joan Richter (Lucchesi) (1960)

Rick Gonzales, I was reading your post about classmates who you need addresses for. You have Jana Clover listed, she is my cousin and has passed away.

Kathleen (Kay) Rominger (Huff) (1968)

I am saddened to report the passing of my brother-in-law, Charles Langston (Class of 1960), a longtime Woodland resident. Charles lived a full life, with service to the Yolo County farming community, youth sports, California National Guard and his family. He will be dearly missed. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, May 20, 2024, at McNary’s Chapel, 458 College St., Woodland.

Joan Richter (Lucchesi) (1960)

I went to school with Charles from the 2nd grade. He was always a fun and happy friend. He loved attending our class reunions and I will miss him.

Orval Hughes (1964)

Charles lived down the street from me and we had some fun playeng as kids.  Big strong boy 

Theresa Eve (1964)

Yes, very strong and handsome man, Charles Langston.  Football was made for him I can see.  Very sad to hear.  Condolences to wife Darlene Rominger, WHS Class of 1962, family and friends.

Phyllis Wilkendorf (Holmes) (1963)

My cousin, Merlene Buck, from the class of 1964 has passed. 

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Just got back from the Nice Memorial we had for our classmate Don Murdoch who recently passed - Thanks to all who made the event possible and as pleasant as a memorial can be. Don's 1962 classmates and those who knew him from when he worked at the sheriff's dept shared thoughts and memorties - RIP Don, REUNIONs will not be the same with you missing

Rick Gonzales (1964)

Greg Kareofelas - I really enjoyed talking to you about you sister Sue. I attended first and second grade with here at the old Holy Rosary Elementary School, the one that burned down. I was visiting Dr. Demosthenes Pappagianis at his Davis home. I was collecting Dues for the Davis Democratic Club. He showed me a collection of some of his awards. Then I see Sue Kareofelas in many of the pictures and he starts talking about her. He tells me she ran the Department at UC Davis for 30 years. She was so instrumental in the daily operations of this department and everyone was well aware of her impact and her many years of dedication and commitment. I felt so moved that we shared two years together in first and second grade. She was a gem and was well appreciated for her efforts. May she Rest in Peace.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Sue Kareofelas was a beauty.  I always called her the Snow White of Woodland High School.  She is remembered fondly,  Saw her in Nugget Market when I was visiting Mother and she remained just as lovely. 

Craig Roberts (1965)

Thanks

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Hi Rick! I want to thank you for the nice comments and memories of my sister Sue. I am getting together with my two younger sisters next week and I will be sure to share your memories and kind words with them. It was really nice meeting you at Don's memorial and having a chance to talk in person. It is situations like this that makes the ability to "comunicate on this forum" so speical. Thanks to all that share special moments and info here!!

Theresa Eve (1964)

Today,  80 years ago - World War II, June 6, 1944, Battle of Normandy, D-Day.  Fighting against Hitler, 4,414 allied troops killed, 2,501 Americans, used 7,000 ships under General Eisenhower.  It was known as Operation Overlord.  Some of our Veterans today were on those beaches, at age 19.  This is how we gained our freedom.  Thank you to all who gave and to all who returned.  Freedom is not free. 

David Hughes (1967)

Greg, Linda and I moved back to Woodland in 1981 so I could attend graduate school.  Linda and your sister Sue became best friends. Our kids and Sue's kids became best friends. At one time, Sue and Linda were co-PTA Presidents at Gibson Elementary School.  After we moved to Salt Lake City in 1985, and continuing on thereafter, Linda and Sue remained best of friends. I did some legal work for her after she injured her leg. We had regular contact with Sue and Linda and Sue would spend hours on the phone. About six months before she passed, we spent several hours with Sue at her house in Woodland.  That was a special day for us. We both love and miss Sue.  We include her and her family (guess that includes Greg too) in our prayers.  David Hughes

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Thankyou David (& Linda) for the kind words about my sister Sue. I know how special she considered both of you (&your children :-) ) She talked so much about you, I always felt that I knew you also! Thank you again!!

Delbert Giese (1964)

Enjoyed the pictures from Camp Beale. I did not know until a few years ago that it was a WW ll POW camp. Some of the jail cells and many concrete foundations are near the south enterance to Beale AFB. They sold some of the old WW II barracks in 1947 and my father build our house in Woodland from the wood and windows. Thanks Theresa Eve

Theresa Eve (1964)

Delbert:  How interesting about Beale Air Force Base.  Love all the history, especially as Dad received his Army training there, while Mother attended Chico State College for teaching.  I was born in Chico.  I believe it was one of my parents happiest times.  Dad was in the 13th Armored Division, the Black Cats.
