From: Curt Kammeraad, J.D.
My mea culpa for invading this site for the Class of 1978. I searched
for the Class of 1974 on a whim and found this one. I am thrilled
to have read some of the letters and to have shared vicariously. Brad
Lakritz, is Andy your brother and, if so, perhaps he will remember
me. I have never attended any of my reunions. I went to Humboldt State
and got an economics degree and then went to the Thomas Jefferson
School of Law and became a lawyer. I know, but no jokes you could
tell would have any more impact for I am already unconscionably ruined
from the "Paper Chase."
I have been in contact with a few of my old cronies, although their
lives are such that my recent return to the area, after some 22 years,
isn't of any real import. It was good to see them, however, and to,
likewise, see the growth and joy their lives have brought. I wished
I could remember some of you but confess I am an "elder statesman"
compared to all those in this forum. You each were entering when I
was departing. I played Junior Varsity and Varsity football, played
on the golf team, ran track, and, well, just fancied myself with various
and sundry things other than academics. I grew up, eventually, or,
perhaps better said, I am still gaining in the wilingness to do so.
I am single and have an 8 year old daughter, Desirae. She's the joy
of my life and reading about your children and the gifts they are
rings true in my life as well.
If any of you recall who I am, and aren't too dismayed that such
a jerk and fool of old would submarine to the surface from a land
far away, drop me a note and say hi. If you do, remind me as best
as you can so that my memory will be jogged. If, along the way, I
have ever been rude or obnoxious to you--please do write so that I
can make amends.
My hopes and prayers for each of you and my hearty congratulations
to the author of this site. I especially enjoyed the cheerleader photographs
and, well, it brought back memories of untold joy. It is true, I never
really kissed and told.
Warmly, Curt

My story, well not too much to tell. I've been all over the world!!!!!
I recently retired from the United States Air Force. I went to college
for a year (1979) at North Carolina A & T State University in
Greensboro, North Carolina. Why so far? Well, you all probably know
my dad, he went to school there and I thought I would try it out.
Had a blast!!!! I joined the Air Force in 1979 and now I'm back in
school since my retirement. I've been twice married, and unfortunately,
twice divorced!!!! I have two beautiful daughters, Tattianna and Adrianna
(Ages 14 and 3). Yeah, just had another just three shorrt years ago.
During my Air Force career, I was a personnel specialist. My first
base I was assigned to was in North Carolina and I had the opportunity
to play basketball with Michael Jordan while he was still in high
school. The base I was assigned at was a basketball haven for the
entire state. I knew Mike was great when he was a junior in high school.
I was also involved in the Gulf War in Saudi Arabia/Iraq. I probably
could go on and on, but you might get bored meeting me. If anyone
wants to drop me a line, me email is parkerd@lemoorenet.com
Hope to hear from you all and look forward to the next reunion. Been
away for all the others!!!

to write and say "hi" and take up web space anyways...because I CAN!
:Þ I have never been able to make it down to a class reunion
yet, but I plan on making the next one...I just want to see which
of you "perfect" girls got fat and old looking and which of you "stud"
guys got bald and ugly LOL just joking GEEEZ! Okay, okay...so maybe
I'm STILL not very mature! :| but...I'm happy...hope all of you are
too! :)
I almost miss Hanford sometimes....actually what I "miss" is the
smell of the freshly cut Alfalfa fields on a cool summer morning and
the smell of fermenting cow poop LOL seriously, living there all of
my life, I grew to love those two smells :) is THAT sick or WHAT?
Now...all I have is the smell of the deep wooded, old growth Redwoods
and the Pacific Ocean, waaaa :'( don't you feel sorry for me? :Þ
Wishing the best to you all...have a great life...live it to the
fullest, we only get ONE chance at it, you know?
