Kaye --- hiii!  I will email you directly when the dust settled a little around 
here...  And thanks to those who have so stalwartly pledged to keep this page going.

Now a plug for a local (Boise)business:  If anyone wants to stay near good old BHS
itself, there's a wonderful B&B I've made my home-away-from-home:  J.J. Shaw
House, on Franklin St. between 14th and 15th.  You won't need the brunch, the breakfasts
there are so amazing.

Gotta go to the beach now-- it's a holiday here in Canuckistan, right Randy?  Sorry
about the rest of you folks...

Everyone - Just so you know - my latest postings concerning "our lost Dick"
J. have been determined to be in poor taste and so have no been included in the 
guest page.  I really can't argue with the descision but for those of you who want
to follow the "Got D___?" blog, you can contact me at state@Schnader.com.

Celia, I travel a bit and I constantly advise people how to pronounce Boise; Boizzzee
is in Oklahoma!

Whiff is Coming!!  YEAHHHHHHH!!!   She just reminded me about what a cad I was 18
years ago.  Man, old memories die hard; fortunately we were able to set that particular
recollection aside (I was able to redirect her attention to what cads others were)
and share that special moment we all had at Pirates of the Carribean (remember our
band/drill trip in 1974) when Whiff had to be restrained from leaping out of the
boat to collect all of Capt. Jack Sparrow's plunder!   

Whiff will be joining the Blue toasting celebration as will, I suspect, Ms. Frisch.

Finally, I am happy to see that The Fosters and The Jennings will be attending -
my apologies again for all the terrible things that others did on your properties
but for which I was given responsibilty!
It was Boyd!

Hello Celia and Tree, and all...well, I've been keeping a low profile, but I'm still
here.  Still married to John...3 children (1 married and about to graduate from 
BSU, one visiting his girlfriend in Munich before attending U of I, and a sophomore
at Buhl High School).  I am a marriage and family therapist...go figure! Life is
good here on the desert (I have adapted mostly...it's a cross-cultural experience!)
Don't know if I'll make the reunion...summer came like a speeding locomotive.  Great
to catch up here though!  Doesn't really seem like such a long time back (nowhere
like it seemed looking forward!)  Kacee

Hey Class of 1975.  107.1 K-HITS will be having a Class reunion Weekend, the same
weekend as your reunion.  We will have a look at some of the Top news stories, national
and local, sports stories, TV shows, movies we were going to, plus a listen to the
Top 100 songs of 1975.  Hope you'll be able to tune in sometime during the weekend.
We will kick it off Friday afternoon at 3pm and all weekend long twice an hour we
will feature the Class of 1975!   If you have a request for that weekend you can
e-mail me at kj@khits.fm

God, I'm gettin' kinda nervous!! What's everyone gonna wear? I've been thinking 
about renting a tux, I'm thinking canary yellow or robin's egg blue, but only if
they have the ruffled shirts with contrasting piping and a matching velvet cummerbund.
I know I can't pull off the violet tux like Billy Larkin can. I don't know, though,
the tux might be a bit much. I could go with the classic patch madras jacket with
the cranberry sans-a-belts and white loafers--always a classy look. I need something
to accentuate my sixpack abs. Well, maybe more like fridge pack abs, but I know 
they're in there somewhere, and I still have ten days to whip the old bod into shape
and color my hair. I gotta go hit the gym. See everyone in the 13th, when we host
the biggest bestest birthday party ever for Tate. (Shhhh. Don't burst his bubble
and tell him it's really our reunion).

Brad
P.S. I'm bringing a stack of twenties. If the DJ is a former member of Strawberry
Glen, he'll know the routine: each bill buys a replay of "Colour My World"
AND "Nights in White Satin."

Date: 02 Aug 2005

The website is great!  I've had a great time reading
everyones comments.  I love the pictures of the meetings.  Tate, I'm still hanging
out in Melba, Id. I don't know where Kathy Tallman is sorry. Looking forward to 
seeing everyone on the 13th.  Great job
reunion commitee! Thanks!!  Nancy I'll take lots of pictures and share...

Brad, a sartorial suggestion:  you had a killer western shirt, I believe, for our
Big Date (I still have the photos to prove it) -- how 'bout that?  Desert boots 
and jeans would finish the look nicely, a la '75.  

Kacee -- aha! I knew you were out there somewhere!  If I get to Boise the end of
the month, can we get together, as Tree has proposed??  I'll be in touch...

Celia

Date: 03 Aug 2005

OK, Now I know I'm going just to see what Brad ends up wearing!  At least this dance
I don't have to worry whether I have a date or not.  It sounds like it will be a
lot of fun.  Lynda Humphries (Soper)

Yes, Celia...let me know your travel plans.  I am still where I have been for years.
It would be great to see you and catch up! Maybe you would even be interestd in 
sampling some Snake River wine on location...

Date: 04 Aug 2005

Brad - I wondered why they kept playing those awful songs over and over at every
dance!!! Boy, I was naive.  I just figured those were the only slow songs they knew.
I just had the "what are you wearing" conversation with Dulcye via e-mail
this afternoon.  A light blue tux would be outstanding. Very nostalgic.  I still
have one or two of my dance dresses - wonder if they'd fit....  Strange what 30 
years will do to you, huh?  
Scott, don't know what the "blue toast" is, but count me in.  By the way,
Lynda, just like 30 years ago, I'm still wondering if I'll get a date.  Only difference
is I don't mind going stag  - sometimes it's even more fun.
Frisch

Date: 04 Aug 2005

Kacee, what do ya mean you may not make it. If you don't come, it won't be any fun
at all. Please reconsider. Do ya need a ride? A place to stay? I can provide both.
Do ya want me to come to Buhl to get ya? I can do it!! I mean, who will talk to 
me!  You know girl you are the only person that still has fond memories of the fun
times we had. 
No really Kacee, I would bummed if you couldn't come. However, I know also that 
you will do your best to come. Please keep in touch, so I'll know to look for you.

I haven't been able to write in days------- the mental image of Brad in one those

Date: 05 Aug 2005

Well, i just clued into the fact that "february, march, april, may...."
were icons you could click on and up would pop everyone's comments!  i didn't think
i was that technologically challenged!

in answer to tree's question, dated july 19th, i am in los angeles, will be celebrating
my 20th anniversary in october, have 3 girls - 17, 16, 12 - the oldest of which 
will be going to byu in a few weeks!  time flies....

i'm so looking forward to see everybody!!!

by the way, it is richard (dick) johnson's 25th wedding anniversay the same weekend
as our reunion, and he's having hard time convincing his wife that boise is a really
romantic place to be for celebrating....if any of you have any ideas, give him a
call....maybe sunset at the train depot might suffice....

by the way, we're planning a get-together for the mormon kids on friday night starting
about 7 at the seminary building (don't go to where the old building was - they 
tore it down - the new one is near the old industrial arts building).  come when
you want, stay as long as you want. bring treats or munchies to share if you feel
like it... 

i got out my yearbook and it has been so fun seeing all of your faces!

also, regardless of what i look like in a swimming suit (ok, maybe i'll wear shorts
and a t-shirt) i am definitely floating the river!  if i can do it, you can do it!!

Hey, Brian Wilson - I am so happy to see that you are coming this year!  You were

Greetings,
I stumbled on this web site today (August 5)and I'm afraid it is too late to make
plans to attend.  The Web Site is great! Thanks to the Reunion Committee!
I am living in Las Vegas Nevada with my wife Michelle and six children: Whitney 
(19), Alexandra (16), Britt (14), Kirstin (11), Makenna (8), and Kylee (5). My daughter
Whitney attends Southern Utah University in Cedar City and is studying to be a High
School Choral Instructor, My daughter Ali will be a senior at Centennial High School
in Las Vegas and my youngest daughter Kylee will enter kindergarten this Fall.
I work for Clark County Parks and Recreation in their Administrative Office coordinating
human resource functions.  I usually make it up to Boise once or twice a year as
my mom and all of my brothers and sisters still live in the area.
I would love to hear from any of my old classmates and can be reached by E-Mail 
at HULMEJR@CO.CLARK.NV.US
I noticed some of you are looking for Richard Johnson. He is alive and well and 
living in the Provo Utah area.  
Hope you have a great reunion!  Maybe I will see you all at the 40th!  Best Wishes...John
Hulme

Date: 07 Aug 2005

John H. are you sure you can't come? It would be so much fun to see you. Please 
do try!!!
Robin, Float the river? Heck yes. I was thinking this morning, I am 50 lbs heavier,
more then one chin, I pinch more then a inch, my hair I keep very short due to HOT
FLASHES, and I have FIVE grandchildren!!!! My gosh, that is more then 10 pounds 
a year! I hope to see alot of the Morman kids at the Institute Building on Friday
Night. I am sure I can find it, as the old church we use to meet in at six am is
gone. Munchies are always fun. What time Robin? Mark Hess, I hope to see you there.
Does any one out there know where Debbie Saylors landed. I don't think she graduated
with us, however she did go to North, and some of Boise High. I have thought of 
her often. 
Madrigal Singers another SHOUT OUT TO YOU! I still have my Madrigal shirt. I can't
fit in it, however, my daughter can. 
My mind can still sing the Boogy Woogy Bugle Boy of Company B.

It sure has been alot of fun seeing all these old names pop up again. I'm looking
forward to seeing all those faces again next weekend. See you all there. Oh, and
Brad....which tux did you decide on?  Ron Ingalls

Date: 07 Aug 2005

The reunion un-officially began this past weekend with a small gathering of classmates,
Martin Burns, Brad Grisham, Scott Laxson, Mark Bivens, Nan Floyd Bivens, and Ben
Jennings.  We had a great time sharing stories of the glory days, sharing good food,
good laughs and good times, (the huckleberry picking was great as well).  If this
past weekend is any indication of things to come we are in for a very good time.
Not sure but there may have been other mini-reunions as well.

Continue to register and continue to suggest that other classmates who may be sitting
on the wall to register and come join the fun.

Ben Jennings

Date: 08 Aug 2005

Dang, I just wrote this pithy little comment and hit some disaster key on the keyboard
and poof! Gone!  Bummer!

Second try:

Robin:  I just can't believe some people's priorities!

First, Michele Magnuson blows us off to host her own company's annual picnic.  Emphasis
on the ANNUAL part.  Can you believe it???   I mean, we are not getting younger 
here!  Some us (e.g. Brad, Ron Ingalls) are not looking too well.  Really, how can
someone do this?  It's an anuual company picnic for god's sake! Let's see, you see
these people all year long; we're dropping like flies - it might be the last time
to see some of these folks!  E.g Burns - converted to the Southland - doesn't even
venture to the valley let alone trekking to Boise but once a decade.  

Okay, Michele here's the deal:  Go the the party which, since you are hosting, you
can either close down early or you can utilize an exit strategy like:  "I'll
run to the store and get more plastic forks" and then hightail it to Crane 
Creek - at most 5 minutes away, right?  Party like crazy and then tell everyone 
you were taken hostage at Albertson's and you are sorry but it turned out to be 
a crazed produce clerk who needed some guidance and the company didn't want to make
a big deal so it's not it the Statesmen (they wouldn't expect for at least a week
anyway.  everyone will be cool and you'll get to see these folks you haven't seen
in 10 years!

Now as for Dick J.   I can't believe that a resident from Provo wouldn't want to
sepnd his 25th wedding anniversay with a bunch of wrinkled, older, fatter, balding
Boise Braves!  I met Mrs. Dick J.  and I remember what a great time she had last
time.  I am sure it was the highlight of her social calendar for that decade with
Richard!  For the reasons mentioned above, I am certain that she (and he)would want
to attend, however, despite being given enough profile information to "out"
a CIA agent we at the reunion location service (Brad and me) have been unable to
speak to the guy!  Obviously no computer.  NO answering machine either!  Without
personal contact how can we convince Richard (and Mrs. Dick J.) to come!  Come on,
one of you who has seen the guy, please ask him to come.  (Sometime using the words
"pretty please") will work.  We appreciate the help. 

Tate

Date: 08 Aug 2005

Tree--it would be so much fun to come, but we have tickets to the Bronze,Blues, 
and Brews festival in Joseph Oregon, which we try to attend every August with college
friends.  We missed last year because we put on a wedding in our yard...the rest
of my family is not budging on this, so I guess I'm going with them.  I'll miss 
all of you.  Got a call from Rob Mitchell this morning...I'll toast all of you with
organic beer.  I know you will be having as much fun or more than I will.  Hope 
to hear from you, Celia, when you are in Boise the end of the month.  I'm still 
at the same address and phone in Buhl, or e-mail me at counselor@northirm.net.  
Boise is close enough to figbure something out!  Kacee

Date: 08 Aug 2005

Thanks for including me on your information list for the reunion.  Even though my
family moved to Oregon at the end of our Junior year, I have always considered myself
a Boise Brave.  I've been married 29 years, we have two great kids (both married
now) and are learning to love the empty nest.  Enjoy the reunion.  I'll be thinking
of you.  Special greetings to the K-9 Club.  You know who you are.

dear committe members - i think there is a bit of confusion as to what the dress
is on saturday night.  i thought i read recently that it is casual, but someone 
else i was talking to thought it was dressy.

what's the official word?  of course, we want to be appropriately dressed, even 
after all these years....or do we??

thanks!

robin litster johnson

Date: 08 Aug 2005

hi tree, and anyone else who is interested: a lot of people already had plans for
friday night, so the get together for the mormon kids has been changed to saturday
morning, 9 to 11, in the seminary building near boise high.  i have been told this
building is behind, beside, or somehow near the old industrial arts building.  people
can bring something breakfasty to share if they like - and everyone is welcome, 
not just mormon kids! the more, the merrier, i say! 

and john hulme, i agree with tree!  you need to be at the reunion!  richard johnson
even thinks you should be there!  hey, i'm missing my niece's wedding and the first
day and a half of our family's annual trip to the beach in order to come!  if i 
can make it, you can make it!  

by the way, does anyone out there know becky johnson sorenson's phone number? email
me at rllj@yahoo.com

see you all soon!

Does anyone know where Debbie Richards is?  Is she attending?  What about Meg Zapp
or Cindy Whiffin??  I wasn't able to attend the 10 or 20 year and have lost touch
with almost everyone.  What happen to Doug Griffin or Dave Louie or Steve Anderson?
It's been so long I'm not sure if anyone even remembers me!!  Lynda

Date: 08 Aug 2005

Scott,

I can't believe you are busting my chops! An annual picnic is the yearly time I 
get to mingle and make nice with the production workers and delivery drivers since
I am only at the warehouse one day a week. It is also my one chance to play "Lord
of the Manor". 

But you are making me feel guilty since you are all on the verge of death and may
not make it another ten years.

So I may try to slip out after the dinner and hit the country club about 9:00. I
figure most will be a bit lubricated by then and will not notice the wrinkles. Although
that does create the dreaded High School situation. Walking in alone and exposed.
But being a grown up now, I may be able to pull it off.

Michelle (Magnuson)

Date: 08 Aug 2005

Tate,   Hopefully you won't be retiring anytime soon as I can see by all of your
postings that you'll end up moving to Nampa and writing Letters to the Editor on
a daily basis. Just like Grisham you can pull up your pants and bitch about the 
Government full time.

Gum

Date: 08 Aug 2005

HEY, so we are casual, cause that brochure you sent me scared the hell outta me 
and I had to go to the dress shop and look at the prom dresses the girls are wearing
these days, and quite frankly, well, lets just say there is no time for surgery.
It also cracked me up that such as class as this would put clothing restrictions
on us.  Now of course, Lynda CAN wear her cutoffs from 75, as long as they are not
holey, right?

Robin, I love that you guys are still the "Mormon Kids".  

see you soon!

it's a reunion?? geez i was thinking it was a simply a teenaged boy-free weekend!!!
woohoo!! (that btw translates to... no matter what I am having fun). If there is
a get-together friday night, I'd love to 'hear' about it.  I am staying at the Red
Lion and flying in on Friday.  Thanks again to the committee for a great website.

Date: 09 Aug 2005

Wow Michelle -- now you have me totally intrigued -- are you running the Post Office
by now???  Whatever it is, it sounds like "you done good"!  Wish I could
just sneak over to Crane Creek at 9:00 too... there's too darn much geography in
the way.

And Kacee -- now I'm really reading and weeping, since one other place I'd really
like to be, other than the Reunion, on August 13 is Joseph Oregon.  (My uncle lives
on Wallowa Lake and has told me about how it's practically an artist colony now.)

Anyway, all you Reunion-goers, I'll be thinking of you and the merry-making going
on.  And I'll certainly raise a glass to you all!  Perhaps at the 40th...?  

cheers

Hey John Hulme, its never too late to make plans.  Just jump in the car, the parks
will keep.

Dick Johnson---Boise's the perfect honeymoon spot.  She'll love ya & we'll make
it special for both of you.

And Michelle, I agree with Tate----"annual" company picnic?   PLEEEEEZ!

Looking forward to seeing everyone.  Mas Suzuki-----call me when you get to town.

Gummy:

I would love to retire; it's not possible that I would retire in Nampa, however.
I will always be a Boise Brave!  If I lived in beautiful Treasure Valley, I would
only live in the Boise High District.  How could any self-respecting Brave (Chris
Morgan)live on Nampa Bulldog territory?   Remember when Baldwin hit that 65 yard
field goal to beat Nampa?  To steal your phrase, "That was great." (Okay
maybe it was only 45 yards but it was still great.)

News Flash Gummy:  We don't have to be retired to complain about (aboot for Celia
and Randy) this arrogant and selfish administration.  Just ask Brad...oh yeh, now
I remember....the b------- IS retired!  Don't you hate that?   (At least he got 
Whiffin to show up)

I am bouyed that Robin indicates Richard and Mrs. Dick J. might show up.  (Trust
me, we'll make it romantic.) Robin, if they do, I promise Brad and Al and I won't
show up at the Seminary reunion.  You have my "summer dress" word.

TATE      (Well, maybe we'll just drop in for a little nip of something cool.)

hi again - 

just to clarify tree's reference, dated august 7, to "mark hess".  there's
mark hessing and melanie hess - and even though mark and melanie were an item for
a period of time, i don't think "mark hess" is going to fly....lol!  speaking
of mark, he is currently not planning on coming to this great reunion, even though
he lives right there in boise!  something about being exhausted from having traveled
to russia for 10 days....maybe if enough people call and harrass him, he might find
the energy to drop in for a few minutes....

also, someone wrote earlier about wanting to know about any parties going on friday
night.  see sue frisch's email dated july 30.

hi again -  an update on a "lost friend" - for those of you who knew jeff
borgholthaus, he has been living in d.c. since getting his ph.d. in civil engineering,
(yes, we all knew he was a brain) doing relatively high level work for the government
(see, some of our tax dollars are going to a good cause - keeping him, his wife,
and his eight kids fed!)

anyway, he will not be able to come to the reunion because he broke his leg quite
severely about a week ago - had to have some pretty major surgery to get put back
together again.  his parents still live in boise, so if you want his info, you can
contact them.  

robin

Date: 09 Aug 2005

hello everyone - i told "dick j." about this great website, that his name
was mentioned numerous times, and so i may have moved him closer to getting himself
- and his wife of 25 years - here!  hey, it's only a measley 6 hour drive from provo,
as opposed to 15 hours coming from l.a. (of course, i am flying this time, so i 
suppose the above argument doesn't count....)

anyway, for those of you still pondering your attire, scott tate informed me that
given his current residence of san francisco, he will be wearing a "nice summer
dress".  ladies, see if you can top that!

this gets funner (or should i say "more fun") by the minute!

Being relatively visually inclined, I cannot even imagine what a "summer dress"
word is let alone imagine Mr. TAte in a summer dress. BUT he does live in SF with
many opportunites for fashion consultations so...all is possible.

Scott, will it be "polite" or "saucey"?
and i sure hope it doesn't clash with Bradley's Hawaiian shirt.

OK, I thought I was finished breaking into this conversation, but did I read that
Brad Grisham is RETIRED?? Oh, c'mon!  Well, now we know that you have NO excuse for
not making that Great Ontario Wine Tour (and I don't mean Oregon).

By the way -- after gazing fondly at that dance photo again, Brad, are you going
to be wearing that same sharp, layered haircut to complement your ensemble?  It's
very "in" again, you know.

Robin -- we had such a good visit at the last reunion, and your postings are so 
full of the same old cheer and enthusiasm that I remember about you, I feel really
bad about not being there to pick up where we left off!

Dear Richard Johnson:

What started out as a minor task has now morphed into a jihad (ne crusade) and it
is critical that you attend the festivities.  I tried your phone again at Robin 
Litster's (I refuse to use married names - too confusing) suggestion - again no 
answer - no phone machine.  Rich, have you heard of these new-fangled devices?? 
(We have them here, if you want to move here to "Bagdad by the Bay", I'll
help with the relocation.  (PS "If you're going to San Francisco, make sure
to wear some flowers in your hair!")

Rich: "Critical that you attend", why?

We must raise a glass - it is not only your 25th anniversary, but Kaye Stones's 
as well, and my 17th anniversary also!  Anyone else?

What could be more romantic for Mrs. Johnson than to spend time with us on your 
anniversary - even though Jeff B. broke his dang leg and won't be there (If I had
8 kids I through myself down the stairs too!)   Okay, not funny, Hope everything
turns well for you Jeff.

Hessing, what were you doing in Russia????  Sounds intriguing.  Come on, if Dick
J. (and Mrs. Dick J.) can drive from Provo, can't you pop over from Boise Ave.? 
Hint, Hint...

Hope to see you all soon.

Tate

Robin, thx for the postings.  (Warning though, Al may get irritated.)

Just returned from 13 days on the road, moving my son cross country; this weekend
is my 25th anniversary (no kidding) and I am managing to attend this reunion.  A
couple of my older siblings tell me that the 30th was faaar better than 10 &
20.  Those of you who are not attending and don't have a "reasonable" 
excuse are just wimping out.  Besides, how could you possibly resist the opportunity
to see Scott in a dress?  I would'nt miss that for anything?  (You are still wearing
that dress, aren't you, Scott?)

Boise High Friends:

Sorry for the delay.  I've been recalling and using some pursuasive skills learned
at Boise.  Melanie and I are very excited to join with you and bask in the "romance"
of our 30th Reunion.  So excited to see you all Saturday night.  Best to you.  Richard

Man, I can't believe it, Robin and I exchange a few simple e-mails about our fondness
for summer dresses and now this!

Oh Jeez Ron, when Ben was referring to a "light summer dress" he was probably
referring to a loose fit cotton print with a hem that falls mid-thigh - that sort
of thing.  Man, you'd think you'd never worn (purchased) one! (Ron Baby, take a 
walk on the wild side.)

Celia:  Brad has shifted the hairstyle slightly but you and Rousey would approve:
a gray peppered mullet
coupled with that famous Grisham cowlick.  That hair could go from the Ontario winery
tour in the afternoon to the "Garden" for hockey without the application
of any additional hair care products.

Hello Boise High Grads! Hard to believe 30 years has passed.  Seems like yesterday
we were hanging out on the stairs and speeding down state street to get the best
parking spot. I am sorry that I won't be able to make this reunion. This weekend
was booked long ago for family vaca.  My wife and I have 2 beautiful girls (15 &
10) that keep us very busy. Joslyn will be a sophmore at Capital High and hopes 
to play every sport offered.  It cuts like a knife that she is going to be a Capital
Eagle, but at least she isn't a Golden Girl!  Tori is in 5th grade at Hidden Springs
Charter School and we have high hopes that she will hold up the family tradition
and head to Boise High in a few years.  Anyway, time with the girls is a rare commodity
these days so I will unfortunately miss the fun and banter.  By the sound of the
message board there is going to be plenty.  Hope all of you are happy and well. 
Let's not wait for another 10 years, how about a 35 year reunion?  

Sue, thanks for the call. I didn't get a chance to ask about your family.  Drop 
me a line.

Scott Tate,

You mention some names of the old SE Boise gang that I was very close to growing
up. Unfortunately being away for almost 20 years, I have lost track of them. I would
love to see Mary Montgomery come to one of these. What about Kayla Morgan. I haven't
seen her in years. Can't wait to throw back a few with some old freinds this weekend.

Let me join in what I suspect will be thunderous "Thanks" to the Committee!
You did so much work boy do I feel guilty.......Not!
 
Ben, Dude!  Got the hightops working, pulls out the mike; thought you were going
to "do a little number off your second album!"  What a lounge singer! 
And might I just say "What Stamina!"  (Lucky Rhonda!)  Forget that accounting/business
crap - I see you on the New Hollywood Squares Baby!  Boy Howdy!  

Pat, I can't wait to see all the pictures you re-created.  That was a lot of work.
Thank you.

Brenda, still our Homecoming Queen - kept the night rolling.  Great job!

Doug, Ron, great brunch action.  Scott, Mack, Le Ann, everyone else, sincere thanks.

And.....how 'bout those exchange students, Mas, Wim (and Inga), thanks for coming.
(I am still a little pissed - you guys get the sweatshirts for traveling the longest
distance for simply coming from other continents.  Hell, I live on another freakin
planet!  Do I get a little sweatshirt love? Noooooo!   Geez -- life just ain't fair.)

(Personally, I would have given Wim (and Inga) an entire sweatsuit as an award for
the moves on the dance floor!) 

Celia, Rousey, you blew it!  You would have gotten sweatshirts!

Special award to Robin Litster - Can she sing "Fight for Boise?  Hell, she 
had the sucker choreographed  to the hilt!  Man those arms are slashing all over
the place -- Robin, you could put an eye out!  That was great!

Hessing, Brian Anderson, Mike Stewart and you other lamos who live in Boise but 
couldn't drag you sorry bones to this party - too bad - we drank all the beer!

Hope to see you all in 10 big ones - most of all look forward to seeing The Fosters
and The Jennings, again.  Thanks for continuing being a part of so many lives!

So long,

Tate

well, of course i have to add my comments, and like the rest of you give a hearty
congratulations to all of you who made this the best reunion ever!!!  it was so 
fun to see all of you, and i was very sad that i didn't stay for the brunch - who
cares if my family was all at the beach?!?  i can see them anytime, but not you 
guys!

i didn't realize that so many of you are still in boise, and now that we are re-connected,
i'll make it a point to see at least some of you when i come to visit.  

maybe we could make a "still in boise" list - not with all their info,
for privacy purposes, but just a list of names.  for that matter, we could do that
for the "seattle-ites" as well!

you guys are the best - what a great class!

Thank You, Thank You! This reuion was so well planned. I think everyone was wonderful,
and Ben it was so thoughtful, and expensive for you to have all the pages of the
yearbook blown up. Sabrina, it was fun to see the pictures you took at the Morman
Brunch. Robin it was so much fun to see you having so much fun with the Boise High
Fight Song. Man, you are really a Brave through and through. Sue and Ivan, it was
great to see the both of you. It would have been great if Steve and Brian, and Debbie
could have attended. My ears loved hearing Debbie' Booming Laugh. I enjoyed talking
even a short time to all of you. I think the women in our class all look really 
foxy. Speaking of that, I really think that Nanci could teach us all about looking
good. So, once again, Thank you to the planning parties for all your hard work.

From Brenda Foster:

Thank you EVERYONE! I just love us! Now….. take a big gulp, my mom and dad have
this to say. I’m typing it in for them.

1. Ben—You are not biased! The class of 75 is the best!

2. Ben, Brenda, and all--Thank you for letting us help with the check-in!

3. “Chocolate Chip Cookie Gang”--Thanks for all the hugs Saturday night and the
treasured memories from the first half of the 70s.

4. Brad Grisham—You are still adorable, funny, and the Fosters LOVE you.

5. Ty Palmer, Ben, and Brenda—Thanks for the wonderful Web site!

6. Brian Anderson, Cayla Morgan, Lydia Leonard, Martha Peterson, Trissy Lowe, Debbie
King, Toni Cofield—Where were you??? Did we miss you at the check-in table?

7. Lauren Tate—NO ONE looked better than you on the dance floor or had more fun!
We loved watching you!

8. Scott Tate—Loved your banter on the Web site, and the “landslide” story.

9. Tammy Sorenson—I forgot to ask about Peter! Loved your visit, and the “SOB” story!

10. The Beautiful Brown Sisters—You two are just as cute and sweet as ever!

11. Barb Gebhardt—You forged my name for who? The music was so loud I couldn’t catch
the name, or why! (From Brenda: Barb--- my goodness, were you telling her you forged
a note for ME????)

12. Joanne Cambareri—Jack still laughs at your direct hit with that pillow. I long
for a good visit with you to catch up on the Cambareri family.

13. Linda Bodily—How can you possibly stay so serene and lovely with 7 children?
And, did you really think you had to tell us your name? How could we ever forget
you?

14. Bill Larkin—My hope was to have one slow dance with each guy who ate chocolate
chip cookies at our house—before I need a cane or walker. Thank you for not being
embarrassed to get on the dance floor when I asked you.

15. The DJ of Music—Thanks for letting me bop out the door to the Clinton/Gore theme
song “Can’t Help Thinking About Tomorrow.” And tomorrow is in good hands with the
class of 75!

16. Wim, Inge, and Mas—It was so great to meet you. I’ve heard your names from Brenda
many times. I’ll bet no other class has had both exchange students attend a reunion.
You two were definitely the “highlights” of the eveing.

17. Dulcye—I loved your prints, and thanks for staying the Dulcye we all knew and
loved.

18. Gary—Thanks for coming, even if it wasn’t all the way from Australia! We enjoyed
your good humor.

19. Donna Palmer—Your décor for Saturday night was fantastic. Brenda tells us the
brunch décor was equally tremendous. Do you do this professionally? You have a great
husband, too.

20. Alan Gummersall—Thanks for the great “do” at Crane Creek, plus the long hours
you spent on the mailbox and nametags! We treasure you and your kindness.

21. Pat Palmer—You have changed from cute to downright handsome! There were no first
or second favorites for us among the “chocolate chip cookie” gamg. You were all
number ones!

22. Martin Burns—I’m not the least bit surprised that you have become such a fine
young man. And we loved hearing about your life in LA and that you find the role
of stepfather a perfect fit. Good job! We always new you were special!

23. Scott Laxson—We can’t believe we live so close and have only seen you twice
in the last ten years. Thank goodness we have the same dentist! And reunions! There’s
an empty place in our hearts when we don’t see you kids every once in a while. You
were a part of our family for so many years!

24. Ron and Marilyn Jennings, Brad and Renee Bergquist—We sure enjoyed spending
time with you at the check-in table Saturday night! Thank you!

25. Anyone we forgot—We are sure we have forgotten some who deserve a big thank
you! Forgive us!

Betty and John Foster (Brenda’s parents)

Some Random Notes on Our Recent Celebration:

What a ton of fun!! My liver is still not speaking to me, but I had such a great
time. Kudos to Mr. and Mrs. Pat Palmer and the rest of the Committee for a well-planned
and well-run event.

It amazes me that I was there for 6 hours and still missed people! And too many
conversations were of the "HihowareyougreattoseeyouwhatareyoudoingyesI'mstillinSeattle"
variety. Oh well, there is always next time.

The Women of '75 look fabulous! Saturday night was a veritable smorgasbroad of babe-a-licious
beauties. Like fine wine...

The Men of '75 haven't fared as well. Someone keeps stealing our hair, and many
of us look like we haven't successfully passed by a donut shop in a decade. What
hair we have is charitably described as salt and pepper, though the pepper seems
to be of a much finer and less noticeable grind than the salt.

Note to Matt: You need a makeover. 30 years of the same old 27 inch waist and full
head of naturally colored hair. Hello!!?? Time for a new look, girlfriend. Grow
a paunch, tweeze some hair and hit the Turkish Formula like the rest of the grownups!

Boyd and Gummersall hogged the dance floor, and there are several women with the
bruises to prove it. While he still sucks, Boyd has added many new moves to the
infamous "Boyd Shuffle." Janice has been good for the big lug.

Now for a sad note. Dick Johnson's life is a mess. Sure, if you think a successful
business, plenty of good kids, a solid faith, a beautiful wife, a beautiful house
and a large automobile is some kind of measure, then I guess you could call him
"successful." My god, Dick, how did you get here?! There is still time
to turn it around a make something of yourself. I'm here for you, man. Same as it
ever was.

Remember those two sons I spoke of so glowingly only a week ago? Well, reality has
re-established itself and I now pray hourly for school to start again.

Anyone wishing to harass me on a more personal basis is free to contact me at: bdgrisham@msn.com

Pray for Dick,

I well remember that western shirt. Ever the slave to fashion, I recall having a
couple of hot numbers from Sears' C.W. McCall "Convoy" Collection. Nothing
says "Let them truckers roll!" quite like a western yoke highlighted with
exposed white nylon stitching. That baby was pure testosterone in textiles.

Please look closely at the dance picture. If you see pearl snap buttons, you know
it was a formal dance. Pearls are always an elegant touch in evening wear.

Hi Ben (or whomever is reading this emial),

I couldn't get away this summer (I live in Western Oregon), so I missed the 30th. I would have loved to have seen a bunch of folks on the list. I attended the 20th and had lots of fun!

Question: Will we have a 35th? I think it's a good idea to increase the frequency of reunions as we get older. That way maybe we can still recognize each other. ;) Around here, they have them every five years, sometimes every year! But their class size is probably smaller.

Can you put this to the committee? I would love to help if I lived closer.

PS If you don't remember me, you won't find my senior picture in the yearbook. I hated getting my picture taken, but I did graduate! You can see me in the yearbook other years. ;)

Greetings Fellow Classmates!  

It is so good to hear about everyone on this message board.  I left after junior

this one. 

I hope to see you at the next get together!

Take care,
Sally Scudder

Date: 27 Aug 2005

As Mrs. Foster is the most prolific contributor to the discussion since the conclusion
of the festivities I  feel obliged to render a few observations, stir up a little
trouble, insult fellow classmates where required and generally make a pest of myself.

In light of the number of communications (or lack thereof)submitted since August
15, I believe we are in need of turning the corner and writing a new chapter in 
the book: "Boise High Class of 1975."  

First, I think we are all in agreement that Brenda, Pat and Ben (and their many 
colleagues) did a great job. So let's turn our attention to the real world...
Topic:  "What have you done for me lately?" 

Okay, Like Mas and Wim (and Gary from Australia (oh Ben aren't you so proud?)-who
I understand has now taken the Foster's surname as cover), I don't get to see you
folks on a regular basis so....where are the damn photos? Where is the video?  "Coming
soon???"

Just yesterday Wim and Inga were complaining that they had not been able to access
the video for their little wooden shoed friends!  Come on, I ask you, how are they
to sell the Boise experience in Holland without videos?  They'll never be able to
teach the Boyd shuffle in Rotterdam without video - it simply defies verbal description!

What can I do from here?  Just tell me and I'll do it.

I have noted a few mea culpa type entries about how sorry people are that they missed
the festivities - well wouldn't it make them feel really bad (perhaps life changing
and maybe even life threatening)to fire those babies up?  I say load 'em up and 
roll the tape!

Next topic.

Linda Wallace - of course everyone remembers you - too bad you couldn't make it 
"all the way over from WESTERN OREGON."  Heck, as Mas was saying the other
day, "Thank God I didn't have to come all the way from Western Oregon!  That
would have been a logistical nightmare!"  Hell, even Gary "Foster's"
made it from Australia.  Suggestion, next time give the Reunion Committee (who seem
to be able to do everything) a heads up and we'll see if one of the retired guys
can locate an automobile and drive to Western Oregon and pick you up and then drive
you home.  

Next topic.

Now Sally raises (again) the point of reunion rescheduling - should the traditiona
of decade paced reunions be revised to a five year schedule.  If I recall correctly
several have weighed in on the issue and the general concensus of those addressing
the issue has been in favor.  Could I get an AMEN or could we hear from others concerning
the subject?

A few thoughts on the subject:  Pros:  Some of you are not getting any younger and
god only knows what some of you "who shall not be named" will look like
in ten years????  I understand that sometimes greater interaction with those undergoing
the aging process allows the observer to acclimate to the increased wrinkles, turn
of hair color, lack of hair, increased hair in duisgusting places (like the end 
of your nose),general droopineess in the pectoral areas, sagging in the haunches,
stray eyeballs, increased drooling, everpresent exsema [sp?], unconsious scratching
in public without remorse and random odors emanating from dead or dying parts of
the anatomy determined to be optional after the blessing of fourth sacrament. (Please
add your own petitions.)  

For you guys less concerned with "bottoms" (whoever you are - and by the
way don't call me)and more concerned with the bottom line, the five year plan would
allow greater depreciation of the capital assets (photo boards, letterman jackets
etc.)  (How 'bout that for disturbed and errant tax advise!)

The Cons:  My guess is it was a hell of a lot of work!  But since it was such a 
great success this time, my hunch is that as long as people could get there (assuming
the highway from Western Oregon is plowed and open to traffic in August) there would
likely be increased enthusiam and more volunteers to help out.  I note that Sue 
Frish has already stepped up.  And so would I.  

Sue can coordinate the hundreds of St Lukes employees.

I will personally coordinate attendance for all classmates traveling from the Bay
Area!  I mean it.  I surmise that Panzeri and Grisham could be tapped to coordinate
travel from Western Washington (which might have to be enlarged to include WESTERN
OREGON as well.)

Maybe if we decide now to throw this party in five years, Celia and Rousey could
apply for Visas with the Bush administration and they might just get through the
background check in time to attend!  

Gary:  Can we count on you to ensure a high turnout from the ex-pats in Australia?
I knew we could.  (Don't worry about Wim and Mas - they seemed to have gotten past
those other travel barriers and found their way to Boise.)  (Five years from now
Mas' daughter will be celebrating college graduation and there's no doubt he will
be ready for another return trip HOME to Boise!)

Well enough of that!  Why don't you Boiseans all converge on the Alive at 5 party
on the 31st and share a cold one!  Cheers!

TTFN,  Tate
