Peggy Dickinson Cooke, Long Beach, California.This has been fun - going through this guestbook and reading about everyone that's there. I wrote to a couple of people (other than my former neighbor friends, the Clarks), but they both came back as "undeliverable". I decided to put my own note in here to see if I hear from anyone. I'd like to know if my class is planning a 40th reunion in 2006. I don't think I'm going to make it to the big one in August 2005, because I'm going to be in Maine in Oct. I live and work (CA. State University) in Long Beach, CA. and would love to hear from anyone who wants to write. pcook@csulb.edu

Phillip Townsend, Austin TX. I am still a cop in Texas and I could retire but why? I am still having too much fun. 7/28/00 - Just wanted to say Hi, since the last time I logged on. It is HOT here this summer, but it always is here in Texas. Going to the West Coast this fall for vacation. Can't get to Maine until the next reunion. Have received a lot of e-mail from some very old friends. It is so great to hear from people you haven't seen in 34 plus years. I try to get this CMHS home page out to everyone I know, but there isn't too many old classmates in the Texas area. U-all have a nice summer.
