BRING ON THE HALLOWEEN COSTUMES !!
Just When You Thought It Was Safe ....
From Your Webmistress
#2 Here's a favorite
Halloween costume of mine - from the late '70s. This picture was taken on a relaxing afternoon on our boat, with the
Kings. That's Dennie, blissfully unaware of imminent danger. I'm the one on the right with the big teeth..... Jeri
Thanks to the ever-helpful John Mauger (Cowboy #1) for sharing
this priceless moment from 1950 with Signal Hill in the background. Cowboy #2, center, is our very own Roger Wyatt.
It appears as though Roger is dressed for some serious rootin-tootin cowboy action. This here town may not be big enough fer
the both of 'em.
Who are these clowns??? (Where are the clowns? ... There ought to be
clowns...)
DON'T BOTHER ... THEY'RE HERE This newspaper picture reveals the identity
of the clowns.
BEST COSTUME, HOUSE CATEGORY?

Many thanks to Roberta Wall for sharing this
picture of her 1st grade class at Lowell Elementary. She supplied the majority of the names, though some are
not "fer-sure." Thanks to other "room monitors" :-) who chimed in with added names and
guesses, including Barry Wood, Mike Hixson, Bob Chrisman, Bob Stahl, Judy Wilson Jones and Paul Kartinen. Best guesses so far: (See below for more debate) Front, from left, unknown, unknown, Herb Solomon,
Mike Hixson, Danny Alban, Camille Ratzlaff.
2nd row:
unk, unk, Penny Holmes, David Blumberg is behind Herb, Paulette Gehrke holding the doll.
unknown girl (braids) 3rd row: Ricky Stowe (striped shirt and closed eyes,) Robby Williams, unk, Barry Wood 4th row back, from the left, blond boy (unknown), Lee Ann Kinsey, Karen Kline, Adrienne Hurley,
Silvia Valera, Bonnie Gallup, Roger Peters, Unknown
5th
row: Bob Stahl, Barbara Guard, Bobby Post, Alix Epley, unk, Sue Ann Roy, unk.
Last row: Laurie Kinley,
Roberta Wall, unk, Doug Wiley, Cam Kenady, Ken Miller.
(Can you help with
more names? ..... Anyone? Anyone?)
OK, here goes - Karen Kline Sedges is fairly sure
that the little boy with folded arms at the far left is Ronnie? Black? And the little girl after Alix is a Janette or
Jeanette.
And then ... we picked Herb Solomon's brain, and came up with the following: The
first boy in Row 3 is Ronnie Blackledge. Also, I think the 'the girl who might be Janette' is Jeannette
Alcorn. Not sure, though.... The boy identified as Bob Post is NOT (we just got confirmation of that from Bob
himself.) The guy after Roger Peters may be named Enos. The girl next to Paulette with braids COULD be named Missy.
Others who may be in the picture are possibly Gary Heinz? Kris Buck? Nancy Christensen? CeCe Kimes?
John Parks? I'm not sure Nancy, Kris, CeCe, and John had joined this class yet. And I'm pretty sure that's
not Ken Miller. OK, one more positive ID. From the east coast, Jeannette
Alcorn has verified that she is, indeed, third from right in 5th row! One less mystery to solve. :-)
.
A big thank you to John Comings for this picture of 3 familiar Boy
Scouts - "Frankie" Hodges, Ron Quintana, and Barry Messer ....
And thank you to Carol York Burke for these
two pictures taken at Naples Elementary School.

BEST GUESSES CAME FROM.... "I know one, I know one, call
on me, me! The Sandra next to Lorinda Elms is Sandy Smith." - Jeri Sue
Williams Mortenson believes the first person, front row, is Marcia Morrow. In the 4th grade photo, the girl sitting to the right
of Carol McClure is my first girlfriend, Diane Costley. Buzz’s last name is Wildman. Thanks - Bill Bixby
Hello Back to you,
I located the pictures of the Naples Gang and I can't belive how well the pictures were identified. The two teachers
were Miss Dugan and Bob Jones. First row ends with Sydney Bolter.
Second row after Bill Boyd is Mike Kelly,
Bob Kalajian, Bob Knight, Greg Chester, and Mike Owen. Third row perfect.
Fourth row after Gretchen is
Carol Ivey, then at the end is Brad ? I think( ring any bells?)
Back
row starts with Carol ( Kathy?) McCallister and ends with Art Carriel. A great group of kids, David Sweet Again from Bill Bixby: More thoughts, in the 6th grade photo, Bob Gayton is between
Tim and Buzz, Dick Jones is between Patty & Jerry, Craig Craigo is next to Greg Chester, and Michael Owen is behind Craig
or in front of Mr. Jones. Thanks (Received
the same day from Dave Sweet) -Oops!,
I forgot to fill in the names in Row three of the Naples School photo. After
Tim Armstead was Bob Gayton, Buzz, then Mike Looney. Thanks Dave Sweet Judy Wilson Jones (who didn't even attend Naples but knows everyone in the world) was
able to fill in a lot of blanks, so we have redone the captions above to reflect what all we think we know!
