We've heard that Anita passed away on December 24, 2024, but have no other information as of yet.  Will post obituary and memorial information when available.

Just learned that there is a fundraiser for Tom's family, some of us may want to contribute: 

https://www.gofundme.com/f/Lighthipe

"This page is for support for Tom Lighthipe’s family. After battling a long fight for four months on life support due to complications with pneumonia, Tom passed away peacefully in the early hours on Saturday, November 23. His daughter, Sarah Lighthipe, resigned from her career in order to monitor his condition and also to care for her mother, who has acute leukemia and mobility issues. This fund is helping to cover Tom’s funeral costs, as well as nursing costs and costs of daily living for Sarah as she continues to care for her mother during this challenging season (food, gas, rent, etc.). Unfortunately, Tom does not have life insurance."

I echo what Wayne said, it was great to have Tom's contributions to keeping the Class of '68 connected.

Unfortunatly, I won't be able to attend the memorial service, but I wish all the best to his family and friends.

Hi Steve and Happy Birthday! Hope your day is an adventurous one. I wish the whole year surprises you with happy events to add to your memories.

Happy Birthday Ann....I guess you don't attend any of the reunions. I went to quite a few in the first few years. I did go to the one last year. I remember when we would get together during elementary & junior high but didn't continue in high school.

I live in Hemet in a 55+ gated community with all the amenities I could want. I did quite well over the years & was fortunate to live in my townhome for 45 years. So, 7 years ago I moved to Hemet investing in a larger home for less money. I'm set for life & feel very fortunate. I stayed single for most of my life, I didn't have any children which has given me a stress-free life.

I took care of my mom until her passing in 2013 at the age if 95.8 years. She lived in her home for 52 years living 29 yrs beyond my dad who died before his 70th birthday. But he did enjoy 11 yrs of retirement. My mom was such a joy & she was quite active at Bingo.

Anyway, if you'd like to contact me directly, my phone number is 951.330.6298 or email me at alohaailina@gmail.com - I'd love to hear from you.

Happy birthday to one of the few MOTs at Millikan.

Happy Birthday Janice! I fondly remember those elementary school days and Brownie Scouts too. Have a good one!

Happy Birthday Deanne!! I remember the fun we had adventuring around Seal Beach and doing lunch together there when we last hung out at the Reunion years ago! Send me a note and we can catch up again this summer..2024!

Got to attend the 55th reunion this past weekend. The journey began with a visit to Yosemite with Mark McKee, Wendy and Scott Coltrane from Mark’s home in Oakhurst, CA, and then on to Long Beach. What a wonderful job by the organizing committee. It was great to see old friends, get to know school acquaintances better and chat with folks I didn’t really know well or at all in high school - after all, how many of our classmates could we really have gotten to know in a class that big.

For those who were not there and knew well, I missed seeing you and hope we are all here to make the next one. Blessings.
