Hi

Have you heard anything about 1985 Class Reunion?  It's been 35 years since I graduate from West High School.

Does anyone have any film from the 1975 and 1976 band and drill team performances?  I would love to be able to show them to my kids!

Mike Hessing (1976)

Hi Cynthia,  I wish I did...I also wish someone had video of the varsity wrestling matches from '72 - '76

I would so very much enjoy seeing them !

     Just a quick message to say how much I enjoyed getting together this weekend for the reunion.  Want to send a special Thank you to Mike, Sharon, and John for the fun stories.  The "Time Machine's" are great to go through, Thanks Mike.

     It was great to see all of you and I look forward to doing it again.  Thanks to those of you who made it as it was a great thing to be a part of.  The informal of the get together at the Homecoming game was perfect.  The dinner at the Marriott was super fun, you all looked so good.  The Bike ride/skate party at the beach was perfect... Still a little sore.

Those of you I missed connecting with I apologize to.  I realize how wonderful it was to be in your class as you are all special and uplifting people.

Blessing and kind wishes to you all.

I am wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts of Coach Fred Burch? The last I knew he was living in Redondo in the Esplanade area.

West High Fight Song                                                   Music by Mr. Ron Large, Band Director

Fight, Warriors Fight! For victory we'll fight forever.

With spirits high we will win, and we will always stay together.

Beige, Brown,and Gold we will stand and do our best with all our might

We never will give in, right to the end

Fight, Warriors  Fight !!!

I Don't know if this is still played at Pep Rallys, Games, Parades, etc.

The Lyrics, I don't know who wrote them. Mr. Large said that "in 1961 the Student Councl asked him to write a Fight Song for the new school". He did not say if he also wrote the lyrics or if it were in colaboration with a student council member.

Mike Hessing (1976)

Hi Dan,

The last I'd heard, he was in Washington state.  He recently lost his son, Fred Junior. Sorry I don't have anything more specific. 

Margie Maas-Day (1969)

This is Margie Maas Day (class of 1969).  Linda Thomas (class of 1967, I believe) has asked me to post the attached picture of her brother, Larry Thomas, from my year.  Apparently he has no interest in attending the upcoming reunion, but she thought people might like to see a current picture of him.  I tried to put this picture in the gallery and it shows on the front icon, but when you click on it you are taken to a bunch of pictures, but the one I submitted doesn't show.  I'm confused.  Trying this as well.

Dave Mayer (1971)

I think Coach Burch is living in Banning I had his address but cant find it.  it was posted when his son passed away.

Dan Lefebvre (1967)

Thanks to all of you for your response concerning Coach Burch. I am saddened to learn of Fred Jrs. passing.I recieved several leads, and a phone number to call. Both coach Burch, and Coach Parton were important people to me during my years at West, as were other teachers, and classmates.

Richard Campbell (1969)

I did a search and Coach Burch may be at 6211 Pebble Beach Dr., Banning, CA 92220

Kathy Fawley (Frankforter) (1971)

RE: Coach Burch

Fred Jr. died from Covid.   Coach Burch was on Twitter however it appears he has not posted since Fred Jr. passed away.  

I also looked up his address and it is in Banning.   

Hope this helps

Thanks again to all of you for the updates on Coach Burch. We were able to talk on the phone last week, and had a very nice 10 min conversation. As I may have said earlier; both he and Coach Parton were some of the important people in my life as a (not all that great) student at West. It was good to talk to him.

Hey Greg!

Yes, Coach Kiazo (?sp) was pretty badass, and I will never forget him.  The last time I saw him was in the Fall of 1975 when I was attending UCLA.  I spoke to him briefly, I really admired him and thanked him for coaching me in Freshman football.  I would love to hear where he is now and what he's doing.

It's with  a sad heart that I post the passing of my sister, Nancy (Nikki LeBrun) Hassoldt. Born on 7-11 she passed peacefully on 11-7, 2 years after the passing of her husband, Skip LeBrun. 

Nikki was a beloved sister, aunt, and friend, and will be missed. There will be a Celebration of Life service at Torrance First Baptist Church on Jan. 20th, 2023 at 11 am.
