In an ironic twist of fate,
Carol Clyde LeStarge
was found. I ran into her in the front office of Wheeling High
School on Homecoming Day! She said she has been living down in
Texas for the last 35 years and never heard about any reunions. So
now she's off the missing list and can be kept updated regularly.
Carol lives in Granbury, TX. [159]. |

I am sending picture of myself and Christy
Arndt Coolidge. Christy was a PE teacher at WHS the first year
it opened 1964-65. Christy was in Palm Springs for a week of
Golf. I drove over to have lunch with her, and catch up on all
the news. I also hope that a picture I scanned of Norma Schwinn
Anderson and myself comes through. Norma, who lives in Florida
was visiting her brother Russell ( a grad of WHS) in Mission
Viejo for a family wedding. We met for lunch in Laguna Beach on
the pier. I have not seen Norma since we graduated in 1966!!!!! |

Yet another Mini-Reunion in southern Arizona. This time
at The Steakout Restaurant and Saloon in Sonoita, AZ.
Bertha Escamilla Wilson
'66 (no yearbook picture...sorry) and her husband Brad Wilson, and her brother
Jesse Escamilla '69,
along with his wife Anna, and her sister and Connie Escamilla 72
got together with myself and
Rhonda Hansen '70. This restaurant has been the
site where many movie stars hung out while filming westerns in Old
Tucson. The likes of James Arness (Matt Dillion, Gunsmoke), Dan
Blocker (Hoss Cartwright, Bonanza), and Lee Marvin to name a few. We
didn't see any of those actors there :-). The steaks were delicious, but
if you go to The Steakout order your steak more well done then you
normally would. Here are some pictures from the event...
