Congratulations to Mason Carter - recognition coming late is better than no recognition at all! On one of my Rutgers Boards, it was just announced that Mason Carter was offered a football scholarship by Rurgers! Congratulations, but at our age, please take it easy, at least initially.

Really sad news about Jim McLaughlin and Bill Lanzer. Two good guys .Certainly gives one pause...

Jim and I began school in Kindergarten and he lived around the corner from me. Always appreciated his quiet sense of humor. The last time I saw Bill was serindipitous. He was attending a large orthopaedic conference in Anaheim, CA. I was attending UCLA at the time and tagged along with a good friend from CO and her orthopod husband. Walking through the hotel lobby, I saw Bill sitting in a chair, reading..Even after so many years, he was easy to recognize. We chatted for quite a while, catching up on whatever tidbits from Rutherford each of us could share. Ironically, Bruce Psaty, and old friend of my sister's was also an MD at U. Washington so we laughed about Rutherford being well represented there.

Jim and I played soccer together and owned VWs. After we graduated I ran into him on Park Ave and its was like a minute since we started out on our new lives. Easy going with a good sence of humor, I hope his life was filled good times and people who loved him.

I remember Bill Lanzar from RHS track - we were both champion 100 yd sprinters - - - naah. We were shot put-ers. He was very big and strong, and usually outdid me. But we both managed to get senior letters for our efforts. We had a good, very friendly relationship. Easy going, supportive of one-another. I am sorry to know he is no longer with us; but hopefully in an even better place.

Hey, Greg,

Is there a list of those of us who are planning to attend the reunion next year?
I am really looking forward to it even though I'll have to bring along my wrinkles and white hair!

Grace Ann, I sure do have a list and I will publish it in the next Newsletter....and your wrinkles and white hair look fabulous!! Now on the other hand...my wrinkles have wrinkles and NO hair....hahahahahaha

Greg, you don't understand "no hair" (I know the concept). Grace, you don't understand "wrinkles and gray hair" (The wrinkles aren't there. I don't know about gray hair though; my motto, for guys at least, is better gray than gone). You are both blessed in those ways.

Count me in for the reunion, I will be sending in my money this week.

Good one, Bert!! But that picture is probably 10 or 12 years old....I will post a new one shortly, I went back to a buzz cut, like in school, because really got upset getting a $25.00 haircut every three or four weeks, when I can cut what little is left....hahahahaha

when Bill Lanzer played Baseball at RHS, the school could not get spikes which fit him, so they put spikes on his loafers.

Has anyone else noticed that no one is willing to admit that they were on the soccer team with me? Someone has to be the tailgunner.

Undoubtedly, RHS inspired many to their future careers.

During our Senior year I was accused of giving Ms. Sharp (English), the "finger" in class. I had a "hearing" before Hugo Janeba. when I denied doing it, he said "I wouldn't admit it if I did it either." Violated all of my due process rights. The punishmentwas that I received was that I was suspended from the soccer team for a week. The coach and my teammates asked if that could be changed to two weeks. That probably helped lead me to a career in law, where I could help people facing larger injustices.

Can't wait to see everyone at the Reunion.
