From: ellieb@ev1.net

This is Eleanor Mowry Brierley, class of 53.  After graduation I went to school in San Francisco to become a dental assistant.  I returned to Arizona and worked for a dentist in downtown Phoenix until it dawned on me that this work was a lot of cleaning up after people and that was never my big thing.  I worked for the Telephone Co for several years until I married and became a Mom.  My husband and I have 2 children and 4 Grandchildren.  We are so lucky that all of the kids and Grands live in Arizona so we can be a part of their lives.  I have had 2 more careers after the Telephone company and am now retired but actively volunteer at my Church as it's Treasurer and with the Scottsdale Historical Society as the Gift Shop manager and their Fund Raiser Chair.  We celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary this year.
 
The last reunion was great and this one should be better.  Let's all give Bob Leone the help he needs to put this gig together.

From: pinky0035@home.com (RUTH BANKER)

Even though I attended Scottsdale High my Freshman and Sophomore years only, I would have graduated with the class of 1953. Then a few years ago I re-established contact with one of my classmates and I have now been in touch with several more of them recently.
After attending Junior and Senior year at another high school, I enrolled at Arizona State College in Tempe for a year before leaving Arizona and in 1957 graduated from Swedish Covenant Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago as a Registered Nurse.
A week after finishing nurse's training, I married the brother of one of my nursing classmates. He was a design engineer of governors for motors. We adopted two children and I worked part-time as a nurse in a couple hospitals in our area. I retired from nursing in 1996 to have total knee replacement surgery. My husband also retired in 1996 and we celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary in 1997, took a three week trip to Phoenix to visit my family, and then in early 1998 my husband was diagnosed with cancer in the bone marrow that took his life in June 1998.
I have become a snowbird and have traveled to Israel and Germany.
See you in October.

From: MKelly4133@aol.com

Hi, everyone...my name is Mike Kelly, class of 1954. I have many, many fond memories of Scottsdale High School ...both fellow classmates as well as many of the teachers. Does anyone remember the Mexico trips that Ellie Lee Kahl escorted between Christmas and New Years each year? I went on three of those trips and had a ball each time. If I remember correctly (and my memory has taken some hits over the years!!) those trips cost about $20 or $25 for 5 days, including bus transportation (school bus to Nogales, then Mexican Greyhound to Guaymas) hotel rooms, and most meals. Fireworks were extra!! Have lived in the Phoenix area all my life (was born in Phoenix) with the exception of 4 years in the Air Force. Graduated from ASU in 1965 with a major in German and a minor in French...was going to teach but stayed at the R&G where I worked part time while going to ASU. Now retired and enjoying every minute of it. Would love to hear from classmates.

I'm Anita Coverdale-Paulson, moved to Scottsdale in 1954 for my senior year graduating from Scottsdale High School in 1955. In a nutshell, I started college at U of A Tucson, graduated from Luther College in 1959; married, had 3 children (now 3 grandchildren); got a couple of MA degrees; worked as a Marriage, Family Therapist and elementary school counselor; retired (lived mostly in Garden Grove, San Luis Obispo and Rohnert Park, CA); and now live with Chuck, my husband of over 40 years and our long haired German shepherd, Nika, in Sun City, AZ in the winter and Truckee, CA in the summer.
Have done some writing and am now thoroughly immersed in my long time interest in painting. I have also been involved in Pet Assisted Therapy programs with Nika and am a Hospice Volunteer.
I was sorry to miss the last reunion, especially since I was in Sun City, but I didn't hear about it until after the fact. I'm afraid I'll be on the East Coast the first weekend in Oct., but would like to stay connected and hear from any former Scottsdale friends.

This note probably too late to be posted, but Class of '55 needs some
more names! Although we broke the 100 graduate barrier with 105 strong,
we seem to be short on attendees!! Wonder if the school and area has
grown much since then!! My wife and I are boarding a plane from
Philadelphia tomorrow to join in the fun. Lots of great memories to
share -- plenty of laughs no doubt! Trust that we all look the same so
recognition will be no problem.

We are considering a move to AZ and the hot, dry heat. Ideas welcome.

Hi Bill,

My name is Joe Lutz - left SHS in 1955, 2 weeks after turning 16, talked my father into lying my age so I could
go into the USN. [Was in my Junior year @ SHS]. I see
a lot of people on this site that I recall, and I am trying to
local a dear friend of mine: Jake Brown [Norman Jacob
Brown - aka: "Red"]. Last time I saw him is when the
wife and I returned my mothers' ashes to Scottsdale for
interment in April 2001. I have tried phone number
I had - found he had moved, but cannot find out where.
I hope that Jake has not passed away, as I this past
year I called Buddy [One-eye] Hughes, and found out
from his wife that he had passed on the previous year.
I think I registered years ago on this site, but cannot find any record of it. Can you help me out?
Thanks,
Joe

Dear Bill,
Wow how neat that you have started this web site. Good job.

Jim was in the class of  l956 and I, Peggy Cox was in the class of l958. I have been chairman of several of our class of '58 Reunions. We have one every 5 years.

Currently we are planning an ALL CLASS BEAVER CRUISE being held in September of 2000. The cruise begins on Labor Day and returns on Friday after. We will be boarding in Los Angeles at the San Pedro Harbor and going to Catalina Island and down to Ensenada then returning to Los Angeles. Should be fun. Will have prices soon and must start booking ASAP as it will take a year to plan and for Cruises they require deposits up front. Approximately $50.00 per person.

This is a good link to get ahold of people and I will be more than happy to share the Travel Agents information so those that want to join in can. Jim and I currently live in Prescott, AZ.,we are retired and enjoying it. We lived in Mesa and Chandler for 40 years that relocated. Several Beavers are up here. I can supply you with names and addresses of class of '58, we just finished (Sharon Brown Massey) also class of '58 mailing out a newsletter. So we are fairly current.

Let me hear from you please. Our e-mail is JALCORN693@AOL.COM.
Thanks for doing such a great job.

Just thought of something else, we have two bricks and we attended the Old Timers Reunion and bought a Painted brick from Mary White Keltner's aunt who also attended Scottsdale High School .
I could go on forever but will close now.
Your Beaver Friends,

I graduated in 1956 from Scottsdale High. My wife, the former Madalene
Goff, was the head Majorette and was one year behind me. I went into the
Air Force right after graduation, and Madalene and I were married when I
got out of boot camp in September, 1956. After four years with the Air
Force, I returned to Phoenix and went to work for Mountain States Tel &
Tel. I spent 14 months with them and then was selected to go to Air
Traffic control school. After I graduated from school, I returned to the
Phoenix Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and stayed there until
they closed the center. I transferred to Seattle Center and stayed there a
year and then transferred to Sea-Tac Tower. From there, I went to Edwards
RAPCON in the Antelope Valley in California. I then transferred back to
Phoenix to the Phoenix TRACON and stayed there a year. Then I returned to
the Antelope Valley to the Los Angeles ARTCC and there I stayed until I
retired in January, 1995. In 1976 I joined the Los Angeles County
sheriff's reserve and was active in that until I retired from the Sheriff's
Department in October of 1987.

I now have a small Tax Preparer & Notary Public business and I am also a
part time Park Ranger for the city of Lancaster, Ca. Madalene and I
attended the 2000 bash at Rawhide and we had a great time. It was
wonderful seeing some old faces. Some I had not seen for over 45
years. I'm looking forward to the next one in 2023.

Love the website and all the memories it creates! Being at Scottsdale High was a wonderful experience. My happiest times were being in Band and Mr. Hansen. I was delighted to see his photo on the site. I vividly remember marching down Main Street at Disneyland one year. I have attended a few reunions, the last one being the class of 58's and really enjoyed seeing everyone there.

I lived in Phoenix until 1968, then moved to CA where I lived until 1997. I moved here to the Seattle area in 1997 where 2 of my children and all of my grandchildren live. After working in the Corp. world for a while I took early retirement and now spend most of my time doing temp. work and playing with the grandkids.

Would love to hear from any classmates who may remember me!

I lost all contact with classmates years ago, as I was never able to attend

he got any.

I was very pleased to receive the newspaper article by Rachel Ochoa announcing this web site. My sister who lives in Scottsdale sent it to me. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Danville) and hope to see some oldtimers on the list.

I would like to congratulate Bill Farrell for starting this web site........I think it's a great idea.

P.S. I too have two bricks from Scottsdale High School .

Webmaster,

My name is Steve Gatschet, a Scottsdale High School graduate, Class of 1959. After graduating from SHS, I attended ASU where I majored in physics and then switched to architecture. I graduated from the College of Architecture in 1965 and moved to Philadelphia where I have been ever since.

I’ve had a terrific career, designing just about every building type there is, and am also an adjunct professor at Drexel University. I figure I’ll work until I’m at least 75. I really enjoy it, but I also take time to travel extensively.

I’ve been married twice and have a son who is a paratrooper in the Army, (he was “in country” in Afghanistan), and a daughter who is an actress in New York. Currently she plays the part of Tammy on The Guiding Light.

Life is good and so are the memories….. even the ones of blowing up my hands in the Rocket Club!

Regards,

Steve Gatschet

Attended Scottsdale High School from 1956 to 1959 and always looked back on those days as the best days of my life. Still living in Scottsdale --it saddens me to go by the vacant field that was once our great school. Had to graduate my senior year at Arcadia when it opened -- but my loyalty is still that of a Scottsdale Beaver!!

Went to Scottsdale High for Freshman & Sophomore years - 1958 & 59. Met my hubby (Wayne Hughes) my freshman year and we're now married 34-1//2 years.

Parents moved the summer of 59 breaking my heart as I had to finish at West High while all my alliances were at Scottsdale High School -- but that didn't change much since I kept dating Wayne & hung out with his group. My two children, Lisa & Wes also attemded Scottsdale High School . Lisa got to graduate there in 1983, and Wes was furious when he had to go to Saguaro his Sophomore year and then to Coronado his last two. Still miss the charisma we all had then -- Lute's pharmacy for malteds and the whole shebang.

Greetings to Scottsdale High School alums,

The Scottsdale High School home page is a great idea--thanks to Bill Farrell for getting it started.

This is Steve Sargent, class of 1959. We had a great 30th reunion in 1989 but missed our 35th. Several of us have been plotting a 40th next yeat.  Bill's suggested All-Year Reunion in March/April 1999 sounds like a great idea--that is about when we have been thinking of having our 40th, and to have alums from all years would make it even better.

I have the mailing list for 1959 alums as of the 1989 reunion. Am plotting a way to digitize it to put it out on the net. If someone wants a paper copy in the meantime,let me know.

Here are my coordinates:

Thank you, Mr. Webmaster for starting this website!!!

My name is Dotty Dean (nee Dorothy Sohren), graduate of the class of 1959, went to ASU, then to UCLA, now living in Auburn, CA (since 1976.) This area is the beautiful Sierra Foothills (45 minutes to great snow skiing, lakes and rivers all over the place, and an hour and a half to San Francisco.) So everyone is invited to come to Auburn for a visit!!!

If any of you out there remember me, please e-mail me a note. My best friend in high school was Suzanne Stegner (4'10") and since I am 5'10", everyone called us Mutt and Jeff. We were also nerdy brainy people...my favorite movie of all time is 'Revenge of the Nerds.' We carried around our sliderules and actually knew how to use them!!! They were a cute accessory that went well with our petticoats.

I was hoping for a 40th year reunion since I've missed all of the previous reunions, and, I'm retired and have lots of time on my hands!!!

Best wishes to all of you...

Dotty Sohren Dean

Hi!
I'm Linda (Soule) Gregory. I just found this web site last night after calling Scottsdale Unified School District about a possible 40th Reunion. I was delighted to see the names of some of my classmates. Please contact me at Lsgregaz@aol.com.
My husband and I moved back to Arizona in 1995 and now live in Green Valley. He's from New England (we moved here from Boston when we decided we just couldn't stand the winters any more), and having a little trouble adjusting to the desert life (except in this glorious winter we've been having). Now that we're not so far away, I'm hoping to attend the reunion, if there is one.

Best wishes to all,

Lani Wingfield, class of 1959. Name is now Steinman, living at 524 Park Blvd. in Marion, Ohio 43302-4810. Would really like to hear from any and all of you. Have lost touch with Janet Carter Vaeth, who was my primary contact there for some years. Anyone know where she is now? My e-mail is snsammo@marion.net, and yes, it is ammo related. Not a full time business, but an interesting hobby of my husband. Been an interesting life so far. Sent an e-mail to Steve Sargent, but neglected to give him anything except my secondary e-mail address, sorry Steve. Tickled me to find the "home" site for Scottsdale, I've been looking but didn't actually have any luck till last night. I'm relatively new to the computer game but it's lots of fun. Again, I'd like to hear from any of you. I'll keep a close eye on the home site now. Good luck!

Terrific site, great idea! Kudos to William Farrell for putting the
site together.

Moving to Scottsdale in October of 1958, I graduated Scottsdale High School Class of 1959.
In spite of the help I received from classmates like Steve Sargent,
Richard Rea, Jack LaSota and some other academics, I was most notable
for helping out with the other end of the Bell Curve ;-)

I was voted the most unlikely to succeed and was awarded the MUVP (Most
Unvaluable Player) on the Beavers football team. I went to ASU from
59-64. Since then I have been fortunate to enjoy life doing my hobby
(flying airplanes) and, with my wife, Cheryl, raising our son Preston.
He converted us into grandparents in January 1999 and will add to that
project this August. My wife, Cheryl, and I just celebrated 4 happy
years together. That ain't bad outta 29!

I spent 23 years with the old Frontier airlines, then 11 years with
America West Airlines. Presently, I am a senior captain and check
airman for jetBlue Airways based in NYC and maintain residences both in
NY and Phoenix. www.jetblue.com

I am sorry to have missed out on the May reunion, but hope to make the
next one.

Sincaeronautically,

Stan Whisenhunt, class of 1959
My e-mail address is Swhisenhun@aol.com (note: without the ``t'').
I've lived in Ventura California since 1965. Was managing editor of the
Ventura County Star for 17 years before leaving in 1990 to start a public
relations/marketing company.
My passions are golf (index 13,2 for those golfers out there), sailing,
skiing and my Jack Russell, Riley. My wife, Sherry, and I have a New York
36 sailboat and half interest in a J-24 racing sailboat (was fleet champion
in 1999). Business has been quite successful.
My daughter, Patty,is a graduate of the UCLA film school and lives in
Hollywood, where she hopes to make it big some day and then buy me a
Mercedes (OK, a cheap Toyota, or maybe a bigger sailboat).
I was shocked a few years back when I went to 1989 reunion and discovered
our old high school doesn't even exist anymore. Thank God we've got some
good memories (at least I think I can remember.)
Well, Patty says that's enough; that I'm boring you, so go get a life.

Hi All:

I'm Sandy Wilgus, class of '59. My brother Jeff ('62) shamed me into attending the reunion. He's coming in from Moscow and I live in Scottsdale and hadn't registered!

Would love to hear from fellow 59ers. Arrived late for the 40th reunion and only was there for about an hour before jet lag took over (I said jet lag; not age lag).

I used to hang (go steady...) with David Ellis. Did see Jane Retter a couple of years ago and every once in a while run into one of us "local yokels".

I'm azwilgus@aol.com -- Jeff's at wilgus@online.ru.

See ya next week.
