Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/south/public_html/directory.php on line 132 Glen Aycock Hello to All: I have been pastoring churches in Arizona, California and South Carolina (Eveangelist) for the last 40 years. At the present I am pastor of four churches in San Bernardino and Redlands area. You might call me a modern day circuit preacher. I became a tennis teaching professional and also coached and taught at the local Jr. College of San Bernardino. It was an unique experience to coach the men and women tennis teams at the same time. Exasperating. One is more than enough. Howeve I did enjoy teaching the college PE classes. I hope to hear when we have a reunion coming up. God Bless.

I married Linda Eubanks' brother Steve, so for the last 34+ years I have been the "real" Linda Eubanks! He was with the Torrance Fire Dept until '95. After his retirement we followed our youngest daughter and her family to Bozeman MT for 5 wonderful years. We loved it! Even the winters!We are back in CA but now we're up north in Roseville - still following those kids. Do you think they're trying to tell us something? Would love to hear from each of you.

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/south/public_html/directory.php on line 132 Joanne (Palombi) Puls Hi fellow grads: Wow! Can you believe 50 years? After graduating I worked at AT&T, where I met my first husband. We were married almost 13 years and had two children before divorcing. I remarried two years later to a Redondo High graduate who worked for the City of Palos Verdes until retiring in 2000. That marriage also gained me 4 stepchildren. Our Manhatten Beach house was "party central" for our kids and their friends. We moved to Beaverton, Oregon in 2004. Sadly, my husband George passed away in 2008 after 30 years of marriage. I have 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. I feel SO OLD just typing that!!!! My kids and grandkids live in different states, but fortunately my three sisters live nearby. They are also South High Grads - Jeanne (1966), Leona (1971), and Lynne (1973). Looking forward to the 50th reunion. Hope to see some familiar faces (assuming we all look the way we did in high school...ha-ha).

Deprecated: Function split() is deprecated in /home/south/public_html/directory.php on line 132 Edward (Solt) Solt-Smith Hey gang, I finally fled the merchant marines after the captain of the boat, “los Bakersfield” was caught red handed emblemizing from the ships emergency funds. Needless to say there was a certain catch 22 about being off that stinking death trap. My dilemma was that since Captain Doug decided to use the emergency funds on a hefty gambling and liquor debt (even amongst rumors of smuggling the white china), with all funds exhausted I was left in the Alaskan Port city, Skagwag with only two twenties in my hand. It was a long and crazy journey through the Canadian Wilderness (a story in which will someday be a novel). Good thing I’m a fast talker and a charmer and know the principles of hitch hiking and working with your bare hands. I ultimately ended up in Reno. Coincidently, Morgan Keach’s cousin lived there. (we had a fling in the late nineties) I looked her up and we been in each others arms since. I currently work at the El Dorado and coach young girls soccer in the AYSO. Morgan’s right about one thing, his daughters are soccer superstars! Well, I’ll c-ya all later…Morgs and I’ve got a fishing trip tomorrow…later!!

My retirement present to myself was two months in the Amazon, part of it following Humboldt's route on the Orinoco and Casiquiare rivers. Finally, on the fourth try, I got the marriage thing to work. My wife, Colleen Hogan-Taylor, and I recently celebrated our 20th anniversary with two weeks in Spain. Since graduating from SHS I've lived in the Bay Area (Berkeley), Brazil (with Peace Corps), Florida (Gainesville), back to the Bay Area (Palo Alto, Oakland, San Jose), and finally to the Seattle area.
