To My Former students at Hilltop: Thanks for your kind invitation. Sorry I cannot attend any of your festivities, but I send my greetings and best wishes to you all. Good Sailing (or whatever you are doing these days) from your Old Biology Teacher, or Driver Training Instructor Wendell Lisle

I am remiss in not replying to your kind invitation to attend the class of 1976 30th reunion. I knew that I could not attend the renion and put off sending my regrets. I apologize! We have now been retired since 1979 and moved to Santa Rosa in September of that year. We have been very active in Lawn Bowling. (There are greens in Balboa Park at 6th Street.) Try it,you'll love it! I enjoyed my work in the library at Hilltop and all of the students who used the library. I hope you have all been very successful in your lifetime endeavors! ENJOY YOUR REUNION! Vanitta Olinger, former Library Technician, Hilltop High School

I just read at the Classmates.com website that Sherri Carpenter passed away in January.  She left behind a son.I have suh fun and happy memories of haning out with Sherri and "the gang".  Although I had not seen her since a couple years out of high school I have wondered over the years how life was treating her.For me I will always remember her as a sunny person.

I just discovered this website today!  Brings back fond memories.  I\'m sorry I missed out on the reunion last summer.  It looks like it was a blast.  I\'m in Austin, TX now, working for AT&T.  Please keep me in mind for the 40 Year Reunion in 2016!Tom Ballobruin.wolverine@att.net

comment by Rochelle (Giertz) Salas

I had the best time at our 40th reunion. Everyone looked so wonderful and was so kind. For those of you who knew or met my dear husband Michael, he unexpectedly passed away last December. Anyway, looking forward to the next event.
