Baccalaureate Mass: JF Perseveranda & Ricky Nutt

Go Hogan High School Class of 1985 1985 June 16. Throwin' it back to our Baccalaureate Mass days before graduation at St Basil the Great Catholic Church. Had to take a photo with our Hogan counselor, Mr. Ricky Nutt. J.F. & Ricky Nutt A Baccalaureate Mass is a religious service, typically a Catholic Mass, held in conjunction with graduation ceremonies. It's a time for graduates, their families, and the university community to give thanks for the educational journey and to offer blessings for the future. It's a tradition at many universities, especially those with Catholic affiliations, and often includes readings, prayers, a homily, and sometimes musical performances.

What's The Status Hogan Class of 1985?!

By
Image
Go Hogan High School Class of 1985 Tania Ponder texted our GroupMe group chat this morning: "What is the status for the 40th class reunion?" Again, I'm no longer part of the 40th Class Reunion Committee actively 'planning' the event. I believe the committee is going forward with the event I did plan. A few months ago, Gloria texted me "What's the group consensus?" on how to text each (keep in touch) because she had problems with GroupMe. Here's my response that I shared with Ron Stainer a couple weeks ago: After our 20th class reunion in Walnut Creek and I decided to take it upon myself to do the 25th class reunion, I created our Yahoo Group (which no longer exists). After I learned about Facebook and joined in 2007, I created our Facebook Group . I created the first version of Hogan85 blog in 2009, but I lost access to my account which was work-related. I bought & managed the domain HoganSpartans.com, created/managed the Hogan High School ...

Venmo Ron Stainer for Reunion Fees

By

Throwback to Hogan '85's 10th Class Reunion 1995 October. Walnut Creek, CA. Back when our very own E40's "Sprinkle Me" hit #5 on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs. Earl Stevens (E40) joined us at that tenth reunion. Tony, Ron and I hung out in his suite... watching his video while it played on the TV. Good times! Tracy Waterman: I received your $30 fee. I have transferred it over to Ron Stainer. I will treat any future fees sent to me as donations to my travel fund. 😉 I'm hoping to be out of the country during our reunion later this year. Tony Palisoc, Ron Stainer, J.F. Perseveranda Sprinkle Me - e40

Springstowne Junior High School Visit

By
Image
Springstowne Warriors Tony, you were right. I checked out our 7th grade yearbook and it referenced "Warriors." Tony found out from our good friend Mark who works at Springstowne that their last day is this Friday.  We visited Springstowne yesterday, June 10, Tuesday. The school will then be closed for good, and will be demolished within the next year. New houses will be built in our old junior high school. It was great "walking down memory lane" with Tony and Ben. I'll post more photos as time allows. Left to right: J.F. Perseveranda, Ben Carbonell, and Tony Palisoc. Walking up the ramp near the main entrance.
