Yearbook

Yes! Attending Reunion
Comments:

I've traded in my stethoscope for a computer keyboard, and am so excited to announce my memoir about my life and work as a "bush doctor" in Alaska is set for national release by Pegasus Books of New York & London on Sept. 4th.

Please help my book make a big splash on Amazon! Visit my website: www.OnCallintheArctic.com and pre-order your copy and be sure to register on the website to win an Amazon Gift Card!

School Story:

Probably my fondest memory is Leadership Class taught by Dr. Baca. His encouragement helped me crack the shell I'd built around myself since my parent's divorce and struggles I had trying to deal with drug problems of one of my brothers.

Hi Ted. As I recall you lived down the street from me on San Luis Ave. but we really never got to know one another well. Sorry now that never happened. But, I wish you a happy birthday even though you are younger than me, darn it!! Take care and have a great, healthy year. Tom

Thanks, Terry, for the excellent writeup about Ira. Well done.

I haven't made it to many reuniions, but the last (and only) one I did attended reconnected me with Ira to my delight.

I likewise remember Ira as a gentle, soft spoken individual who caused you to listen when he had something to say. We spent the entire evening at the reunion catching up and planning to 'get together' because he was in Portland and I in Bend. But as things so commonly go - it never came to pass and I'm truly sorry about that.

Ira had a great heart and a great faith. Both will be serving him well from this time forward.

Hi Sue. Here's hoping your birthday celebration is great and the new year brings you plenty of joy. We've moved to Arizona where the sky is bright and blue, and I can wear shorts almost every day of the year! Loving it all. Again, best wishes from your old yell-leader partner, Tom Sims at tsims97707@gmail.com and thomasjsims.com

Hiya Ben. Here's wishing you a very happy birthday. It's nice we're all about the same age so we know one another's aches and pains. Hope yours are few! Best wishes - and stay healthy.

I am so terribly sorry to read about Richard. He truly was a fine guy, and surely will be missed by many. COVID 19 is very real, a message brought home when someone we were close to has become its victim. I pray for Richard's family and hope now, the big guy will 'rest in peace'. Tom Sims

Rebecca and I had a very special relationship at South Gate High and for a while thereafter. She was a very special person in every imaginable way. I am so sorry we have lost her, and I send my best wishes to her family.
