Pam and Jon Kirkwood posted on Facebook these great photos and wrote this...

The November Senior Bulldog "Turkey Feast" Luncheon was "jam packed" yesterday! The 70's Classes took the prize for the most attendees! Bravo to the "Kidlets"...

 

Lunch was yummy, followed by Pumpkin Pie and homemade whipped cream (thanks to Jeff Schredder '66, who brought 4 Antique 80-year-old canisters filled with his special whipped cream, with which to top off our pie desserts) Thanks, Jeff!

 

We were reminded by Toys For Tots Chairman, Jon Kirkwood '64, to bring an un-wrapped toy or two for the December Marine Corps Toys For Tots Drive...

 

Everyone seemed to have a great afternoon!

 

We personally, did not get a lot of pictures this time...Hopefully, others will post pictures they took too.

CLAYTON, CA — Carolyn (Carrie) Marie Stanoff died May 5, 2020.

Carrie had been diagnosed with glioblastoma (brain cancer) in December 2015. Carrie fought bravely and remained positive during her treatment. Initially, medical professionals’ prognosis was 14 months, but she lived 5½ years.

After working 10 years as a writer and journalist, Carrie became a marketing manager for several engineering firms. She was an excellent writer and enjoyed collaborating with colleagues on projects. She was known for her bright and positive outlook, and people enjoyed working with her.

Carrie passed away with courage and grace, surrounded by her family and friends. She was a woman of strong Christian faith who loved her family, friends and Clayton. She was a very intelligent woman with a wonderful sense of humor.

Carrie is survived by her loving husband Gary, devoted son Zachary, mother Violet Bos and sister Laura Younkman.

It is with great sadness that we learned of Carol Hemmerdinger Zolan's passing in July 2023, as conveyed by her daughter-in-law Maise McCormack. Carol (BHS Class of 1966) will be remembered as a gracious, intelligent, and beautiful person.

 

Jennifer Dale Schatz
This makes me so sad. Carol was a neighbor down the street and we went to elementary, junior high and high school together. We were in the same Y club (the Derby’s) and spent many crazy years at the Y and at camp! She and I also went to Youth in Government in Sacramento. Don’t know if many knew that she was quite and artist. Her late husband was an artist and they owned the Zolan gallery. We lost touch over the years….😢So many happy memories of her. Rest well my friend.❤️

Cathy Coyle
Oh no. I’m so sad. She was our Rank Leader on Drill Team in 1966. She was a wonderful & very special friend to all of us. Carol is on the far left of our Rank 5 Group photo taken at our Drill Team Banquet.


Joanie Konstanzer Lozano
Jennifer Dale Schatz her brother, Bill was a artist too. She went to the College of the Seas for a couple of years. She fell in love with a fellow student, I went to their engagement party. But heard later they cancelled their marriage plans. Sandy Humphrey was a good friend of hers, she kept in touch with her for years. But then too lost contact. Beautiful person inside & out. ❤🌸❤

Bo Boeing
She’s the first girl I ever asked to go to the show with me, as I had big crush on her, she broke my heart when she said no! Funny how we remember the past so well! RIP Carol ❤️

Darlene Culotta
Oh, that is sad news. I remember her very well with her big smile for everyone. Sorry to hear this.

Julie Guttridge
So sorry to hear. She looks great. I wonder what happened ? Was a few years ago !
