ENCINA ALUMNI,

HELP

As some of you have noted, maintaining and promoting the
Encina website is very time consuming. But also very
rewarding for the most part 8^).

I have contacted all those for whom I have email addresses but
in many cases I have not heard back from you. I would GREATLY
APPRECIATE it if those of you receiving and hopefully enjoying
my Encina updates, but who have not submitted their contact
information, would please take the time to do so now:
http://www.encinahighschool.com/directory/submit_contact.htm

No lurkers please! Support the website by participating in
the Encina alumni database and class directories. Of course,
I respect your right to privacy and none of the information
you submit will be published on the website without your
permission. But at least it will be available in the database
when the time comes to contact you about reunions or other
Encina activities.

VIETNAM

One other person to add to the list of Viet Nam casualties
might be Peter Prosserpi class of 68. Although his death
occurred after his return to civilian life, it was from a
very rampant form of cancer that was blamed on his exposure
to agent orange, a very powerful defoliant that was used
over there. Other vets of that war that I know of - myself
and Doyle Ratliff, both class of 68. Unknown to both of us,
our paths crossed in Da Nang sometime in late 69.
In my own opinion, anyone who lived during that war,
whether they fought it or protested against it, is a veteran
of that war. Quite a large number of us were unwilling
"volunteers".

I have to apolgize for giving some wrong info on Encina Vietnam
losses.
I said I had read the name Russell Arent on the California
Memorial. I was wrong on the first name. It's Sgt. Kenneth
Jacob Arent born July 22, 1944. Lost Nov 2, 1967. This
information is from the index data for the Wall in Wash DC.
Sorry if I caused anyone grief.
Per Bill Hessers' of last week. PFC Richard Griffith
Philbin (64) born May 13, 1946 Lost Feb 2 ,1966. PFC Daniel
Ray Twitty (66or67 ?) born July 30,1948 Lost April 6, 1968.
For Randi Muller-Kemper, PFC Herbert Earnest Frenzell born
June 20,1944 Lost Jan. 21,1976. Again, this data is from the
index for the Wall
I would ask that someone please confirm that
Kenneth Jacob Arent (61or62) attended Encina by looking
in a yearbook. I am handicapped by not having any yearbooks.

Greg Vitaich 62 called the Vietnam Veterans Memorial ("The Wall")
and they are faxing him a list of all those from Sacramento who
were lost. The URL of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is www.vvmf.org

Please let me know if Kenneth Arent was Encina 61 or 62. I do
not have any yearbooks prior to 1970.

FAME

I just spotted the note from Lauren Zdybel regarding my
brother Kirt.
Kirt Shearer ('80) co-owns Paradise Studios in Sacramento
with his longtime friend Craig Long, and has indeed recorded
and mixed albums for artists Tony Toni Tone, Cake, and the
tempermental Bobbie Brown (during periods when Bobbie is
actually released from jail!!!). In addition, Kirt and Craig
do a great deal of commercial production for clients nationwide,
audio-for-video, and special projects. They are just finishing
a month-long, complete, down-to-the-studs remodeling of the
interior of their studio facility, which has the largest
"main room" of any audio studio in the region. Kirt is also
proficient at planning and installing large-scale sound systems
in large facilities such as churches and theaters, and is active
as sound designer and engineer in many local theater productions.
In their "spare" time, Kirt and Craig are using their musical
expertise and songwriting abilities to produce their own music.

CLASS VIDEOS

The Class of '96 had an end-of-the-year video made commercially
using still photos and music. The members of the Class of
'97 took it upon themselves to make their own video (with an
emphasis on the Academy of Business Careers). Both videos were
shown at the Senior Luncheon. If anyone is interested in copies
of these videos, let me know.

BASKETBALL

My Brother Chris said that he ran across Mr. Huber (Math
teacher, '73) when he was playing basketball for Sac State.
The game was played in Alaska, and Mr. Huber had traveled from
Fairbanks to Anchorage to watch him play.

I just got off the phone with Mr. Botello as I saw on
your E-mail letter today that he is listed as missing.
So I called him to make sure it was O.K. to forward his
information... I know of his whereabouts thru my son,
Frank Bravo (class of '92) as he had Mr. Botello as a
teacher and they have remained friends. He was Frank's
photographer at his wedding here in Sacto last July 97.
(and did a super job too!!) He and his wife are currently
semi-retired in Murrieta, California. Their address is:
25064 Calle Viejo Murrieta, CA 92563, (909) 677-6001.
I asked him if he had E-mail and he said they were working on
getting a computer!! He also said a former student of his
(I think with last name of Shields sent him a letter about
a 20th class reunion but he hadn't replied yet but said it
was O.K. to let all know that he is alive and kicking
at the above info.... I hope this helps and I love getting
your E-mail at work (as that's where I live most of the time (:

DIRECTORIES

The class directories are maintained manually by me, not
automatically by the forms you submit. So please email me
about any corrections or typos. Some day I may figure out how
to do this automagically.

In the class directories, many listings say "contact webmaster"
or "care of webmaster". "care of webmaster" indicates I have
an email address but do not have permission to publish it in
the class directory. I will manually forward email if you send
it to me.

"contact webmaster" indicates that I either have contact
information (but no email) or know somebody who knows how to
contact this alumni. This third party is usually a sibling or
classmate.

SIBLINGS & CLASSMATES

Some of you may wonder why I'm always asking for the names of your
siblings and classmates. I add them to the Encina alumni database
and make a note that interested parties should be referred to
the third party for whom I have contact information. I also add their
name to the class directories so that if someone is looking for
them, I can refer them to a third party who knows how to reach them.

So for those of you who haven't sent me information about your
siblings, PLEASE take a moment to send me their names and class years!
No contact information is necessary although I would certainly
appreciate an email address. This also applies to Encina classmates
you are in contact with. This way, you do not have to disclose
any private contact information, just name and class year!

THANKS

I really appreciate those of you who have taken the time to send in
your contact information and bios, especially those of you who've
listed siblings and friends. This greatly expands the alumni listings
and makes the class directories a better resource. There's a continual
stream of new listings now and this should lead to better attendance
at future reunions as we track down more lost alumni.

Thank you for your support...
