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.

Springstowne Junior High School Visit

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.
