1964

Dear Classmates,

The reunion weekend starts Friday August 13th 2004 at Paradise Point Resort at the Barefoot Bar (the old Vacation Village) located on Ingraham Street, across from Sea World. We have set the time at 5pm, but Happy Hour is from 4-6pm. You will be responsible for any drinks and food you order.  Saturday Night August 14th is at the Town and Country Hotel and I hope you have all received your invitations and mailed them back to the Rowbothams.  Sunday has been changed from Crown Point to Highwood Park. The Highwood Park is adjacent to La Mesa Middle School (La Mesa Junior High School when we went there). This is a time when you can bring your own picnic lunch, your kids, grandkids, pets, etc.  Please bring something to sit on as there are not a lot of picnic tables. This picnic will be 11am to 4pm.  I was told that The Town and Country Hotel cannot set aside a block of rooms for us, but you can have the discount rate of $129 a night. Many of you have reserved already, but I just called them and they urged us not to wait too long to make our reservations. The number is 619 291-7131.  Let me know if you have any other questions. I cannot wait to see you all.
Love, Diane Wilson

1967
No, it's not reunion time yet. I know time flies, but not that fast!
Our next reunion is in 2002. Helix will be 50 years old. The Foundation
may plan a gala birthday event. I am thinking about coordinating our 35th with their party if possible. Watch the website for more information about the birthday gala. I'm sad to relay that we have lost two classmates recently. Bob Storey passed while sleeping shortly after the arrival of the new year, and Richard Loraine died before the new year had begun.
Check out Cathy Scott's website!
www.CathyScott.com Wow, does she have interesting stories to tell! I know she'd love to hear from everyone. One of the things I meant to do, but forgot, was to include e-mail addresses of classmates in the directory we had available at the last reunion. I'd be happy to check our records for an e-mail address for you. Let me know who you'd like to contact. My e-mail address is new since the 30th, I think. Memory seems to fly with time, too. candy@helixhighlanders.com
Just received a great note from Dwight Roberts...we missed Dwight and Howard at the last reunion. As he says....maybe next time. Dwight invites friends to contact him at manzanar@earthlink.net. Did you know that Rick and Sue Scott Edwards and family own several motels in Lake Tahoe? It would be fun to select a date and have whomever was interested book a reservation. Sue says October is a great time to visit the area. If you're interested, let me know.
If you'd like to have your "news" included on this page, send it to me.
The Alumni Association is giving us this opportunity to keep in touch
between reunions. "Thanks" to them. This is a great idea.

Hope to hear from you!
Candy

1968

Each reunion brings news of our classmates' accomplishments, travels,
grandchildren, and sadly, the passing of Class of 1968 alumni. The Internet
has brought many new names to our class registry, some of whom joined us for
the first time since graduation. Recent additions include Holly (Bacon) Parker, Stanley Baldwin, Jeff Berry, Edyth (Brasche) Redmann, Haywood Gammon, Anita Gibbons, Lynne (Faulconer) Wilkinson, Andy Harris, Bob Jackson (who rode his motorcycle down from Vancouver, WA for our last reunion), Hank Johnson, Don Kleymann, Tim Lawler, Melanie (Mason) Bruce, Tim Owens, Kirk Rakestraw, Joanne (Randazzo) McCale, David Reiter, Kim Riley, Nola (Rutledge) Graves,Merri (Warren) Groves, and Don Westman. Unfortunately, we still have hundreds of classmates who are "lost" and unaccounted for, although our search is ongoing.
 
The In Memoriam list grows longer each year, and includes Annette Anderson,
Mike Annis, Sharmon Burton, Janet Chisholm, Cynthia Churchman, Cheryl Denton, Rom Elkins, Pat Haider, Robert Karr, Mike Kennedy, Fred Kidder, Gary Lawrence, Jim Lee, Mark Merino, Tim Milligan, Steve Montijo, Carl Peterson, Patty
Plotkins, Ken Prevost, Bruce Riska, Al Romero, Linda Ruden, Mona (Bender)
Salvia, Steve Sloan, and Linda Wallbrink.
 
If you have information about any Class of 1968 alumni, please e-mail me at
Jacqueline.Vaughn@nau.edu, even if you think we already know where you/they
are. You may have moved, changed e-mail addresses or area codes and we may not be able to get in touch with you.
 
Lastly, I wanted to share a note submitted by Karen (Zeiters) Kain for our
2002 "early" reunion, which coincided with the Helix 50th anniversary
celebration.
 
"Dedicated to the heroes of September 11, 2001: Above all else, September 11,
2001 brought out the best in Americans, and speaks to our hearts of bravery
and sacrifice, of heroism under fire and of our unquenchable desire to resist
tyranny from all sources."

Sorry fellow classmates, I have relocated to Colorado in the summer of 2005. I've been planning this move for a year now. Unfortunately, I'm unable to locate anyone else who wants to take over the responsibility. We obviously are not having a 30 Yr Reunion. If you know of anyone interested, please email me at:  lwuebold@bresnan.net  and I'll make sure you/they get all the supplies I've been keeping for the past 10 yrs.  -Lorie Wuebold

Thanks to everyone who came near and far.. really far  for the great time at the 20 year reunion. We have started our very own helix 1981 web site .. with a link to this Helix one of course! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/helixgrads1981 There's a ton of pictures from the reunion and the picnic the following day at Crown Point. If you didn't make it, you were missed and hopefully this makes you feel like you were there. Thanks again! Lizard

We are always looking for Alumni, so please be sure we have updated information.  You can send your email address and keep in contact at helix1985@cox.net .  We have started a group that meets every so often for happy hour or picnics, so if you want to be included on the email list, be sure to get in touch!  It's been a ton of fun, and you just never know who will show up.  We hope to have a list of "missings" soon, but don't assume we know where you are...shoot us an email to confirm.

1989
Hello all!  It seems we're all beginning to get connected to the information super highway, or at least about 6% of us! Make sure you pass on this website to others that you remain in contact with.  Classmates.com and Alumni.net help out, but this is the official alumni page. This is the first newsletter, and to be honest, I don't have a ton of free time. If you'd like to volunteer to submit a newsletter on a quarterly basis all it would take is three more people and we'd be covered once a month.

P.S. If anything interesting is going on that you would like announced, just drop us an e-mail.

1992
Hi everyone!  I hope your lives are happy and healthy. 
This alum site is being completely revamped to make way for bigger and better things.  I hope you look into getting net-membership.  All proceeds go back to the school, and it's a great way to keep in touch with everyone from our class.  I thinking it would be great to put funds into a scholarship for a Helix Senior, on behalf of the Class of 1992.  Anyone have any suggestions or ideas on that?
If I get enough response, I would like to have a reunion every 5 years.  The 15th, 25th, etc would be a small get together, or weekend excursion somewhere, whereas the 20th, 30th, etc. would be our big events like the 10th was. 
If you did not make our 10 year reunion, and am unsure if we have your information, please email register@helixhighlanders.com and make sure we have your city, state, and zip, as well as your email address!

Take care, and I hope to hear from you soon!
