NOTE: Items in BLUE (Cyan, actually) are interactive. That is, email, page numbers and anything else in blue, except this word blue in the line above, will hopefully do for you what it's supposed to do.
Also, every effort has been made to reproduce the original document as it was at the reunion with the exception of the things I've added. Those things include scanned photos from the '63 log,
a few photos that were submitted, and a couple of other details. If you find any errors orther than ones in the auto bios written by the person and submitted, are mine (alas) and I'd like to fix them. To that end, please contact me and let me know what those errors are and where they are located. This can be accomplished by emailing details to me at: [email protected] and they will be greatly appreciated!
Hello!This is a quick Preface to the PDF version of the original hard-copy version compiled by the indefatigable Reunion Committee of the Mar Vista High School 50-year reunion of the Class of ‘63. This media version was scanned and assembled in the same pagination order as the original.As a person who has done event organizing (Open Racquetball Tournaments hosting 300+ players over a three-day week including meals) I have, as I am sure many of you have also, a significant insight into how much work went into pulling together the 50th Reunion.When you see them or write to them or SKYPE them or however you are in contact...please thank again ...
Dianne Kozlowski DavySheila Smith Engelman
Hazel Thomas Bailey&
Joe McCurdy...for all their work in bringing the 50-year three-day celebration together.I have it on good authority that Tom & Sheila Stubbs and Sara (White) Wood made significant contributions as well. Wendel Winko and Bob Long each gave a financial boost, and it’s very likely there are others behind the scenes of whom I’m unaware. To all and eveyone, a hearty thank you for a job and jobs well done! The attendees were beneficiaries of their efforts!Thanks, too, to Elaine Ledford Ayotte for additonal document proofing and image scanning!Also, major kudos to...
Henry Vargasfor his outstanding work on his Mar Vista Alumni website. It truly is the best such site I’ve ever seen and is invaluable in keeping us all so well informed!

Alas, as of the final proofing of this document, word has been received that Mike Churchill is to be added to the Mar Vista Memorial Pages. Rest in Peace, Mike.
