Burlingame High School

Eileen Hunt McKeagney

Hey Everybody:

This site came about as a result of Facebook, actually, which has provided us "old folk" a place to say hello and re-connect with one another in a very low-anxiety environment. If you had asked me two years ago if I would be attending a 20-year reunion, I probably would have shrugged, thought about it absently, and then decided last-minute whether I had nothing else planned (and then stressed over what to wear :) However, through recent Facebook interactions with some truly lovely people, a high school reunion suddenly doesn't seem so ... intimidating.

And since we are all turning 40 within the year (gulp!), we might as well all go down together.

Hence the idea of a 22-Year Reunion / 40th Birthday Party was born.

We have a good few people who have volunteered to organize the Summer 2009 Family Picnic and Adult Night Out, and if you would like to be one of those people, your time and good intentions would be very appreciated.

Let's have fun with this, gang! Spread the word to other BHS 1987 alums, if you can.

I wish you all health and happiness,
Eileen Hunt-McKeagney

K guys....who won "Most Bashful" by a landslide for class of '87....yup me, and here I am one of the first to shout out.....!!!! Something odd about this picture.

This is a great idea, Eileen. Hopefully we will have a great turn out. Look forward to seeing all of you..!!!!

Do you think we can have the Sunday family pot luck on the Burlingame High school grounds? And do you think the hall ways will be open to show our family the lockers etc...

Darce Catania Cabral

Thank you for starting this Eileen! It would be great to see everyone! Too funny we're all turning the BIG 40!

Darce :)

Lambert -- that is a great idea! I'd love to show my kids (and my non-American husband, come to think of it) our old stomping grounds! Let's see if it's possible....

Jon Mercado

Hey to everyone!
Does anyone have the school video? Can't seem to locate mine. Would like to see the intro again, can someone post on Youtube?

Lambert Lee

Jon,

Are you and Joel ok with me putting our senior short movie up on youtube?

The Twilight Zone

Do it Lamb... Make sure you get me that link. I've got to show it to my daughter.

I'm surprised you still have it, I was hoping it got run over or burned. At least you have it for nostalgia. Immortalized forever on VHS tape.

Didn't we get an "A-" from Mr. Morgan...? hahaha ;)

Eileen thanks for letting me know about the site, it is great to get back in touch with everyone. I am looking forward to the BASH and would love to help out in anyway.

Laura Hardy Johnston

I too would love to help in any way. I plan stuff like this for a living. Who knew we'd all be 40 one day?!

Leslie Duane Gutman

It would be great to go back to the bay area and see our old school grounds! My 11 year old would get a kick out of it. Please let me know how I can help (although I live in Phoenix!)

Is anyone going "Home for the Holidays?" I'm thinking a Happy Hour is in order right before Christmas! ~Gina

Dick (Rich) Vaplon

Hey Now! Thanks for the invite "Most Bashful" I can contact a few I still know that are around. As far as I can see a good crowd is starting to find the site.

Eileen Hunt McKeagney

We're getting there --

The committee is nailing sown the details. Definitive plans will be posted in the next few weeks. (Although with Christmas coming soon, it might be after the holidays.)

Gary Cunha

Great to see those of you who posted photos and updates. We have a wide range of careers. I saw at least 2 roller derby girls, 3 police officers, a golf pro, a personal trainer, and a baseball agent! All sound like exciting careers. Would like to see more "before" and "after" photos to see how much we have all changed. Couldn't believe the "guns" on Linda Tripp. I'm jealous!

Matt Sosnick

Should we make an effort to actively reach out to those who haven't signed up?

Dick (Rich) Vaplon

Hey Matt- One thing everyone can do is sign up @ Facebook. That's how I found out about the reunion. I'm asking friends of friends if they know where some people from 87 are.

Dick (Rich) Vaplon

Can anyone confirm if Jeff Rooz, became Jeffery Ross?! Rumor I heard...

Laura Stagnaro Armanino

I don't think so Ross is 4 yers older than us....born in 1965...although it makes a great story!

Glen Bowman

Greetings from sunny Germany!

Yeah, I was looking at some of the then and now pix and I thought "we were so young then" and "dang, some of the people are old"...then I realized that I'm in the same boat! Expanding waistlines, receeding hairlines, wrinkles...but what the hell, we earned those, right?!

Good luck with the reunion. I won't be attending to conflicting schedules.

Glen Bowman

Dick (Rich) Vaplon

That's the thing Laura...If he didn't want anyone to know, he changes the year he was born...Hmmmmmm....That would be VERY Hollywood!

Laura Stagnaro Armanino

I like that! I say we go with it:)
