Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

It has been twenty years since I attended a reunion, and I am looking forward to seeing and talking to my old friends and to people I didn't get a chance to get to know.
I moved to Southern California in 1977 to finish my BA degree, and landed a job as a page for the National Broadcasting Cpmpany. I was a video editor for Channel Four News at KNBC for 25 years, before taking an early retirement, during another of the companies downsizing operations.
I enjoy swimming, brewing beer, photography, organic vegatable gardening and other types of landscaping.
Tropical vacations are my favorite, where I can snorkel and SCUBA.
Watching the sun set from my backyard with my wife and a rum and coke is an almost daily pastime.

School Story:

AA from College of Marin in Liberal Arts 1972
Attended San Francisco State U.; then studied La Raza studies and video production at College of Marin
BA from California State University Northridge from the Radio/TV/Film department, with an emphasis in Media Management

Hi Bruce,
I am super happy to hear that you received a lifetime achievement for your radio career! Congratulations! You are now in the SF Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame.
Since I've lived in SoCal since 1977, I haven't been able to hear your reporting. But, I see you have worked for KNBR, KGO, KCBS and KEST.
Occasionally, I read something you wrote for the IJ. Anyway, I am glad that a fellow Tiburoner made good news. Most of the kids in Belveron were sports fanatics. In little league, I was on the Cardinals. Then, the Warriors. Then, I forgot the name of the Babe Ruth team or whatever the league was called. I loved baseball, but I was better at track.
I hope to see you at the reunion!
Sincerely,
Tom Estudillo

Happy Birthday, Cynthia!!!
I enjoyed bar hopping with you and Sully at the last reunion. Thanks for driving my car! You are such a nice person. So unfortunate about your strokes. I am hoping that you have recovered and are doing better. With the Covid 19, though, the whole world is a dicey place to hang out, especially when you are have health issues.
I hope to see you the reunion, but anyway, have a wonderful birthday!!!

Happy birthday, Joe!!!! Sixty nine is a good age to live to, considering our deceased classmates. I hope you live many long and healthy years.

Happy Earth Day, too. I hope to see you at the reunion

Happy birthday, Patty! A joyful day made better with your birth 69 years ago. I hope things are going well for you, and let's try to make it to the reunion. I've received two Moderna vaccinations, so I should be good to go.
From your eight year Catechism commuting companion,

Happy birthday, young lad!!! Next year is the big one, so enjoy being 69.
I saw your birthday coming up, and my mind was suddenly flooded with childhood images of the stuff we would do together, along with other neighbor kids. Cub Scouts. Camp outs. Boy Scouts. I think you and I were on the Cardinals together. And the Warriors, and the Babe Ruth team, I forgot the name. If we missed the bus in junior high, we'd walk to Del Mar together, along the guard rail of Tiburon Boulevard. And, we walked along the railroad tracks behind Belveron and through the train tunnel for baseball practice at Bel Aire.
You were always a good dude, and I'm sure you still are.
I hope we can share a few more memories at the reunion!
