Everett is now retired, from the Union Pacific Railroad, and we have
moved back to Boron, where we spent our teen-age years, got married,
and had our first child. It's just like coming home again! We enjoy
an occasional trip in our motor home, and just the laid back life
retirement affords. We very much enjoyed the reunion in October,
1999, and renewed many old friendships. We'd love to hear from other
classmates.

My favorite memories of Desert High is that the school was small,
which meant that you knew everyone(almost). I also enjoyed playing
sports (all). Would like to hear from any graduates of 58. The invention
of computers has really helped the cause.
Biography
I went to work for the Post Office in 1965 and retired in 1992. I
had various jobs within, but the two most important to me were as
Postmaster, Lebec, Ca & Postmaster, Terra Bella, Ca. My
childhood dream was to become a Postmaster. The only difference was
that when I was a kid the Postmaster was a Piller of the Community.
Things had changed, but still I realized my child hood dream.
I also was assigned to a
task force that helped assign you the infamous 9 Digits
that you now use (maybe) in your zip code

Biography
As to my having been a nerd; they're right. The time was right; the
need was there; and I went for it. Spent several years and
"earned" degrees at Mississippi State University, Millsaps
College, and University of Southern Mississippi. Only DHS classmate
I've run into was at Mississippi State in about 1960 when I ran into
Eric Zipp in the Grille which was the closest thing we had to a good
place to eat. He was living somewhere in Florida at that time. Think
he left shortly after that because I didn't see him more than a
couple of times. Worked for Shell Oil Company for a bunch of years
in U.S. and foreign operations then took early retirement
opportunity and started my own business. Lots more fun now. Since I
"retired" I've come to realize that, although I didn't
mean to,I shorted Shell all those years. There are lots more work
hours in a day than I used to think there were. Happily I'm still a
practicing nerd but my best friend who is also my wife and our four
sons seem to be able to put up with me OK. I have a dog; he's an
AMERICAN dog and he REALLY likes me. His name is Eli and he's about
15 years old now. He's like me though, we both think we're still
pups. There you go. I've told yawl (note the Southern accent; that's
because we live in Mississippi) about all there is about me. Really
hope you guys will jump in and let us know about you. [Seriously;
you guys are part of the happiest memories of my life. I thank you
and I wish you the very best.]
