Benicia, CA • October 2025. Hogan Class of 1985 — 40th Reunion at Rellik Tavern. Hogan High School, Class of 1985, Vallejo, Spartan Pride, 40th Reunion, Blue and White, Rellik Tavern Benicia. The Echoes of '85: Hogan Class of 1985 — A Night to Remember at Rellik Tavern Hogan High School Class of 1985 Celebrates 40th Reunion at Rellik Tavern in Benicia, California Hogan High School Class of 1985 — 40th Reunion at Rellik Tavern, Benicia, California. Blue & White Spartan Pride, forty years strong. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when you cross the Carquinez Bridge and see the rolling hills of Vallejo rising up to meet you. For the Class of 1985, that drive carries the weight of forty years — four decades of life, laughter, loss, and legacy. We aren't just a group of people who shared a zip code; we are Spartans . And as we gathered for our 40th Reunion, that Spartan pride wasn't just a slogan on a gymnasium wall — it was the very air w...

Go Hogan High School Class of 1985 Quick clip of our Hogan High School, Class of 1985 40th Reunion at the Rellik Tavern in Benicia, CA. I've been meaning to do an edit of the full night, but you know -- Life! Happy Birthday to Missy Cabrera. Cheers!

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 ...

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

Hello Hogan High School 1985 Spartans! The following Hogan High School Class of 1985 Spartans paid to RSVP: Sean Hennessy - Zelle - January 27 Kay Groves - Zelle - January 30 Kim Groves - Zelle - January 30 I had planned on putting down the deposit to secure the date of October 18, but two Reunion Committe members have proposed a sitdown dinner at different venues. This will likely increase the fee, so stay tuned. Due to personal matters, I'll have to step down in my capacity with the Reunion Committee. Rest assured, I will forward your fees to the new point person on our committee. At this point, please hold off on sending $30 to me for new RSVPs, since the fee will likely change due to a change in venue. Thank you. J.F.

Hello '85 Spartans! Gloria and I conference-called the owner of Rellik Tavern to hammer out details earlier today. Here's what we got: VENUE: RELLIK TAVERN in Benicia, CA LIVE BAND: Sixteen Scandals 80's (8 PM to Midnight) DATE: October 18, 2025 TIME: Come way before 8 PM. If Rellik fills to capacity of 150, you'll have to wait in line until a person leaves . Rellik will be open to the public until max capacity is reached.  I'm hoping we Hogan Spartans can do that on our own. Some of us are planning to be there by 7 PM, if not earlier. FEE: $30 per person (comes with one cocktail - vodka) If we get enough RSVPs, the $30 will be the final fee. Otherwise, the fee goes up. NOTE: Class of 1985 will get the VIP (Private Room) behind the stage and the five tables by the restrooms. The VIP Room seats 13-14, with Standing Room Only at 30. To secure the date of October 18 , I am planning to put the deposit down tomorrow at Rellik Tavern. If you will be joining us at our 40th...

Thank you Erinn Van Deer Meer & Hogan Class of 1984 for allowing us to party with you on your 40th Reunion at Lucca. It was a great event. Congratulations! Erinn kept it a free event (no cover) for Hogan Class of 1984 so they had a great turnout. Maurice Harper, Ron Stainer and I were at the event and we all agreed that we can keep the same format, and follow in '84's footsteps. However, the music has to end at 9 PM since Lucca is an outdoor venue. Class of 1985 wants to party past 9 PM?! Rellik Tavern provides an indoor venue that has a live band & dancing from 7:30 PM to Midnight. I spoke with the owner this past Friday. More details to follow. Hogan 1984's 40th Reunion. July 20, 2024 Hogan High School Class of 1985 Spartans: Since the Class of 1985 is spread out between Facebook, Instagram, and some in the wind (not on social media at all, or has blocked me! LOL), I'll use this blog for updates. If you'd like email notifications on posts and/or comments, ...

Maurice Harper, Ron Stainer, Cherrie Van Hook & J.F. Perseveranda at HHS 1984's 40th Reunion Flashback: Lucca Bar & Grill. Benicia, CA. July 20, 2024. Maurice, Ron and I were in touch with Class of 1984's organizer, Erinn (Nabong) VanderMeer so we were all invited. Cherrie happened to be in town and I asked her to drop by. Class of 1984's reunion at Lucca was a blast. They had the tables by the sidewalk reserved. These were the farthest away from the stage so it was easier to talk. Erinn had appetizers for the class reunion and kept it a free event so they had a great turnout. The only drawback was that it was an outdoor venue. Due to zoning laws, the music had to end at 9 PM I believe. Class of 1985 wants music, dancing and to party past 9 PM right?! Maurice, Ron, Cherrie & J.F. Go '85 Spartans!

  Looking at July 2025 Here's what I posted in our Facebook Group: Hello '85 Spartans! Cherrie Van Hook, Maurice Harper, Ron R Stainer and I attended Hogan '84's 40th Class Reunion this past Saturday at Lucca in Benicia. We're looking to do the same to keep costs at the very minimum (if not free). Would a July 2025 40th Reunion work for you? We've identified July 12 as a potential date for the 40th Reunion. We also are looking into Lucca in Benicia, but our contact has not even reached out to the owner yet (she is on vacation). So hang tight. Date and location are still TBD (To Be Determined). This is just to "get the ball rolling."
