Barbara Jonkey Hastings, BHS '65, Passed Away

Barbara Jean Jonkey Hastings

April 26, 1947 - March 22, 2012

Please keep Barbara's family in your prayers...

March 22, 2012

It's with great sadness that I write to let you know that our classmate, Barbara Jonkey (Hastings), passed away this morning in her sleep from lung cancer. She did not tell friends, choosing to live her life to the fullest and always keeping a positive attitude that she would be fine and the cancer would be beaten. Barbara's father is currently in the hospital recuperating from surgery, so memorial services will be pending until he recovers. I will let you know as soon as I hear anything else.

My sincere regrets,
Trudie Lombard Hentze
BHS 1965

APRIL 12, 2012 UPDATE

Memorial Services for Barbara Jonkey Hastings (BHS 65) will be held on Saturday, May 5th, at 1:00 PM at the First Christian Church of Burbank, located on the corner of 6th and Angeleno. The actual address is 221 South Sixth St, Burbank 91501. There is only a small parking lot and the rest is on the street, so I recommend car pooling and/or arriving early.

Burbank High School Alma Mater

The Alma Mater of Burbank High as remembered by the Class of 1968!

The Burbank High Alma Mater by Katherine Crosier

When I went to our 40th Class Reunion in 2008, a lot of people recognized me, and I must confess that without photo name tags, I would have had a hard time remembering people. And it was not because just a month earlier, I had undergone surgery for a (thankfully) benign brain tumor. It was also because when the Burbank High administration found out I could play the organ, I played the Alma Mater at the end of all school assemblies. I didn't just play the song for our own grade — I remember being yanked out of class to play the Alma Mater for other grades, too!

Here are the words, in case you have forgotten them:

Hail, Burbank High School.
The Blue and White wave high;
To our own dear high school,
We raise it to the sky;
All honor to thee we sing,
Oh, long may our praises ring.
Hail, Burbank High School!
Hail! Hail! Hail!

You can sing along with this little slideshow I created here.

Glenn Brown, BHS '73 (1955-2012)

OBITUARY
March 9, 2012 Burbank Leader

Glenn A. Brown, Jr. Esq.

October 1, 1955 to March 1, 2012

Glenn was a beloved son, brother, uncle and a graduate of Burbank High School ’73, UCLA’78 B.A in History, Loyola Law School ’82 J.D., Cum Laude. As a young person he achieved the honor of Eagle Scout and enjoyed playing the trumpet in the Burbank High School marching band. At UCLA he participated on the debate team, became an avid UCLA sports fan and created life-long friendships.

For the past 30 years, Glenn was engaged in all phases of litigation, arbitration, mediation and settlement. He served at Wasserman, Comden and Casselman from 1987-2002 (achieving partner in 1997). He was an Arbitrator with LA Superior Courts since 1988, a Mediator with LA Superior Court and an Attorney Settlement Officer with US District Court.

His passion was UCLA athletics which inspired him to create the PowderKegBlue.com website – that contains many of his photos of UCLA athletics. He noted that the heartbeat of the site was to give a perspective of a Bruin athletic event as seen by a UCLA fan from pre-game, game and post-game activities.

He is survived by his parents, Martha & Glenn Brown, sisters Carol Chapman and Wendy Day-Brown, nieces Marissa & Kia Chapman and nephew Tyler Day Dykhuizen. Glenn was preceded in death by his niece Hillary Chapman and brother-in-law Charles Chapman.

Good-bye Glenn, we miss you.

A Memorial service was held on March 9, 2012 at Pierce Brothers Mortuary in North Hollywood. Donations in Glenn’s memory can be made to the Wooden Athletic Fund at UCLA.

BHS '64 Mini-Reunion at Dentist Office!

From Pam Kirkwood on Facebook...

"It's always an '"event' to go to the dentist for a check-up, when your dentist is Dr. Rees Smith (Burbank High Class of '64)... Today, while at Rees' office, Jon and I met up with June and Mike Cummings (Burbank High Class of '64). Our appointments were pretty close to the same times, so the 4 of us went out to a great Mexican Lunch at Granada's... Sadly, Rees had another patient and was unable to join us... but, we were able to snag him to get this picture..."
