I have so enjoyed all of the pics of the reunion on the Campbell High School website.  You have always been one of my favorite peeps, and seriously you haven't changed a bit!!  In fact, I was telling my hubby about you tonight.  Always loved your beautiful red hair :-)  My hubby, Richard, was a Bellarmine grad - my parents always wanted me to marry a Catholic - and it worked for us.  Sorry I couldn't attend the reunion - I loved the centerpieces!  Everyone looked so good - I always enjoyed Karen Gray too - she looks beautiful.

Soooo, about me now.  I go by the name my family always called me which is TRISH.  I wanted a cute name so called myself Patty for years - don't even know who that person is!  We moved to Saratoga when I was a soph. in high school.  Real shock as that was my first experience with public school! 

Upon graduation from San Jose State, I  taught first grade and raised a wonderful daughter & son.  Have two adorable "unique" granddaughters - ages 8 & 5. 

Enjoying retirement playing tennis, bridge & Mah Jongg (yep, I have some Jewish friends who taught me to enjoy the game!)  We have had many wonderful travel adventures - our favorite was a small boat cruise on the Amalfi Coast & Sicily.  And the best news of all, I am blessed with good health :-)

I would loved to have seen Gordy Kubota!!!  He was a neighbor, and I remember him well.  Didn't surprise me that he did so well on the quiz!!  If you ever see him, tell him "I Care, do you?" 

Did you know Sue (Henry) Johnson?  She went to Blackford when the 1st split occurred.  She was a friend of Carolyn Archibald (and she looks great too).  I still hear from Sue every Christmas.  And I also hear from JoAnne (Peterson) Dagro.  I am going to try to get in touch with Linda (Dettman) Goodknight as she was also a friend & neighbor.  And I think of Jack Van Sambeek often - he sold my sister some Cutco knives, and she gave them to me!!  Those things last forever!!

You just did a fabulous job with this party!!
