John, I'm sorry to hear about Barry. During this time of grief, I hope I'm not out of line to interject a fun fact - Barry was my FIRST KISS! Also, I well remember riding home from the beach a couple of times sitting on the console of the convertible T-bird he drove. ~Fondly, Molly.

Sad to read of Barry’s passing. One day, on a whim, Barry, Randy Henkel, Joe Ramirez, me and our girlfriends decided to go bar hopping in Tijuana. None of us were 21 at the time. We had no fear. We had a blast. It was a super fun evening. Around the time of our 50th reunion I tried to find the group photo taken that day, but it is history. My sincere condolences to Barry’s entire family.

I have some sad tidings to pass on. For those of you who recall Steve Malinowski he passed away suddenly on Tuesday 9 May. He was a good friend and bandmate. He will be missed.

Thank you Jim Vile for updating the group about Steve Malinowski's passing.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of my friend Steve Malinowski. We were more post-high school friends, lived next to each other in CM in the mid-'70s, he even did the sound for my band when we opened for The Ramones at The Golden Bear. About 15 years ago he called out of the blue, he'd seen me on Detroit television, he had a new baby, wife and life and was visiting in-laws. We got together for lunch, he'd call other times when he was in town. My last sighting of an actual person I knew in high school. Great guy. And the dude could wear sunglasses.

Kenneth Snow

Although never close to Steve, he always had the "Mr. Cool" persona, especially with the sunglasses as Tom  mentioned above.  That's how I remember him up there with his band. In fact, the dance scene in Back to the Futire 1 with Michael J Fox playing the guitar would bring back those memories.  I hope life was good to Steve.  Perhaps others will chime in to add a few insights.

So sad to hear about Steve's passing. We had some great times hanging out together. Remember the Bug Eye Sprite?  He will always be in my memories. Rest in peace Bro. Dave Cunningham

I haven't seen Steve in fifty years but I have very fond memories of him.  His house was always open to anyone that wanted to visit.    Steve, Don Farris, Marc Davis and I took a trip through Mexico for a month in 1970.  One of the great adventures of my life.  

I remember hearing his band play at a club up in Santa Ana.  In the middle of a song, he wandered over to the bar to get a drink with his horn in his hand.  At just the right moment as he was sitting at the bar, he played his trumpet  and then went back to hiis drink. That was  Steve .  A really warm guy who found his own groove in life  and an extremely talented musician.  I am sorry I lost touch with him and think about him at times. I'd always hoped the four of us travelers would meet somewhere for  a reunion but not to be.   I am very sad to hear of his passing.

Hi All, For those of you who sent me birthday greetings via this site, thank you. I was wrong to not keep current with this great communication tool. I'll try harder to respond and stay connected going forward. Feel free to reach out offline 415-424-5575. Thank You for your patience, Best, Larry Paul

Kenneth Snow

Missed the memo Larry.  Happy Birthday to you!!

Lawrence Paul

Hey Ken, Thanks! How are you my friend and how is your family doing up there in the Pacific Northwest?

Kenneth Snow

Hi there.  Just back from vacation.  Pretty much busy working with our 3 horses and trying to stay out of the heat roght now.  All is well and hope same with you!

Dana Rodet (Rodet)

I haven't scrolled the web site for awhile.  Always nice to read about my friends. Sad to read about those who have passed.  I'm not much for reunions plus I live too far away to want to brave California.  Besides, our 69 acres is heaven on earth.  Dana

Dana,

we live on two acres of avocado trees in Ventura County. Do you grow anything on your property and where are you located?

Hi Rusty et al, I'm for a 60th reunion. We have shared experiences from the 1960s that are valuable! Another milestone reunion will be worth celebrating together! Larry Paul (415) 424-5575

Kenneth Snow

Four years is a not-so-long way out. At this point, I would plan to come down for it.  60 years.  Jeesh!!

Dana Rodet (Rodet)

Thanks Rusty for doing the web site.  As far as helping...I am a dumb shit so not me.  Plus I am too busy singing and working in the shop, reading my favorite book of the week - currently the second time through Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson.  I've have read all his books.  (I think he likes the fact that he is smarter than everyone else.)  Plus nap time then coffee and liquor while watching the usual crap on TV. 

One would think that a class of 400 or so would provide a substitute for or trainee for you.  Where are all the really smart people?  (Probaly doing the same thing I am!) Ha.  Happy Xmas to all.  Dana

Dana Rodet (Rodet)

Rusty, I see that you say you have to do something to the site every 6 months.  Does that include looking at messages back and forth or actually restruction of some sort?  Just curious, not volunteering.

Just wanted to say hi to all the those still hanging in there, after the last 60 or so years. I retired 14 years ago. Living on my 1 acre in south Carson city NV. No horses coats, chickens, or any other livestock lol. Just my wife Pat and are little dog Woody. Since retiring I took up woodworking. What started out as a hobby to make time pass, has turned into a a lucrative small business. Yes I'm still working. Wouldn't have it any other way. Got to keep moving in life or you'll get run over. hope all you are doing well and had a good and rewarding life.

very nice Ronn.  i like to do woodwork too.  But only when I get inspired. So,maybe one or two projects a year.  i don't buy anything, just use whatever is  in my shop.  Years of generel contracting has allowed me to collect a lot of wood and materials so I jsut roam the shop to see what I might make.  Usually from trees from my different properties over the years.  We live on 69 acres with a lot of doug fir bit our other properties have provided cedar, maple, and American chestnut.  Of course summer time keeps me busy keeping the growth back, cutting next years fire wood, and workingn in the shop.  Dana
