Well, I've been married for the past 13 years and have 4 kids now. 1 boy and 3 girls. The oldest is Jessica age 12. My how the time flys. We've lived in Indiana for the past 7 years and it's great out here. May not be able to make it for the 25th reunion as it's just so expensive to fly.

Hi class of '77. I graduated from University of Nevada-Reno in '82 and a Phd from University of California, Berserkly in '86. No, I didn't do anything with either degree! I followed the 'Grateful Dead' until 1995 then got into this internet thang and made a killing! Wait a minute, I graduated in '76, I think. If anyone can hook me up with my high school sweetheart, Justine Furuya, I will compensate you beyond you wildest dreams. I think she was class of '79. If I can help anyone in any way please don't hesitate to E-mail me. derek .....the only thing constant is change

I left Cerritos in November '75 when my folks bought a house in Buena Park. Still, having spent from age 9 until '75 in Cerritos, my strongest childhood connections were with all of you.

I'm a school administrator, married since '81, 3 kids, one in college, working on a PhD and enjoying a busy life. Thanks, Cindy! You've done a beautiful thing with this web page. ;-)

Pete Benesch Oh yeah baby, I'm still alive and kicking. I've missed all the reunions until now. I have been thinking of going to the 25th reunion. Never been married, don't have any children that i know of in this state, but, you never know. Last few years, I've been thinking of high school days. I ran around after high school with a couple of guys by the names of Terry Sprauge and Greg Hill, Who were in the class of 1977. If you could give me their numbers, It would mean alot to me. I have not heard from them in about 20 years. But, I do have some information about another person on your missing person list, By the name of Edward Delgado. I've kept in touch with him scince we were little one's at Carmenita Jr. High School. He lives in or around the area of Laguna Beach, I dont know his address, But, I have his phone number, Which is (714) 768-4149. It was really great to read the guestbook and see that Carrie (King) Johnson was still alive. You can get in touch with me at Pete Benesch P.O. Box 1205 Folsom CA. 95763, Or beneschp1@email.msn.com
