I'm very happy to be at this stage of my life. I have two wonderful kids, Biran 26, and Lizz 22 who bring me much joy.  Yes I am still a florist. I've come a long way from Flowers by Eugen in La Puente.  I own my own business.  The majority is for television and flilm.  You can see my flowers in old Wll & Grace reruns, Mission Imposible 3, Dirt,Entourage, Rush Hour 3 coming soon.  
I enjoy travel, long walks on the beach, Pina Coladas...  Whoops wrong site!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the 30th.

From Tim:

Dear Class Mates,

 

30 years is a long time - at least I use to think so. I’m amazed that I have memory of you because all of them are from back then. I think the few friends I did have in high school were younger than I. I enjoyed our 20-year reunion but it reminded of how much of a stranger I am to most of you.

 

Of course this has nothing to do with meeting Julie DiGregorio at the 20-year. I'm still embarrassed. I treated her as a complete stranger. She was kind yet persistent. Her words were something to the effect of, “Tim! We stood next to each other in marching band for four years!” Finally it sunk in. Julie had jogged free some very crusty gray-matter. As the fog lifted I was able to say, "Of Course! You played the bells!"

 

Julie, thinking back to the Glory Days I remember you as kind and gentle, but sadly this was of little interest to me back then, hence the poor memory. For this I apologize. Please forgive me.

At the last reunion I went home with a book that was much like this website. Many of you wrote in it. It blew me away to learn that so many of you are Christians. Well, Praise the Lord! It's great we share memories of times past, but the hope we share today makes me shout, Yaaahooo!

 

Here’s another recollection. At the last reunion I had a good laugh with Cindy Birch telling her about what I remember as my first kiss. You see, I snuck one from her on the Log Ride at Knott’s Berry Farm. In 7th grade a group of us took a bike-ride there with the principal, Mr. Williams. Cindy should have given me an elbow to the ribs. (That’s what I’m teaching my daughters, anyway.) The best part is that Cindy had no idea that I had kissed her. Next week at school, the question in our circle was, “Why did Tim bite Cindy on the log-ride?”

 

Cindy, thanks for laughing with me at the 20-year.

 

I've been married 15 years. My beautiful wife’s name is Robynne. We have two daughters. They are 9 and 12. I'm pretty proud of my family. I really do need to post a photo. We live in the City of Orange. I work as a design-engineer consultant. My office is at home. We worship at Faith Worship Community church, in Costa Mesa.

 

Regretfully, I’m going to pass on the reunion. All I have to offer is trivial memories with a group of wonderful people that I’m really not very close with.

 

I praise God that many of you are his. In my life, nothing compares to the ride I’m on with Jesus Christ, (not even the log-ride with Cindy Birch.) It is my conviction that only through Christ do we develop fully and as intended. My life is not perfect, nor will it ever be. In him I’m learning to love and be a good friend. I am eternally grateful that God thoroughly enjoys working with me and through me. 

 

I will remember you in prayer, Class of ’77. May God’s blessing be upon you. May we walk faithfully with him.

 

Peace, love and joy,

Tim Kuitems

Hi Everyone, I decided at the last minue to attend this 30th re-union, a good friend talked me into it!
Well, I've been married for 21 years, have 2 daughters, Lauren 19 and Julia 13.  We live in Northern California near Paradise which is about 1-1/2 hours northeast of Sacramento. It;s pretty where I live, it's 3-hours from Tahoe (where we snow ski)  or 3 to San Francisco.  I love my Family, my job, and where I live, I wouldn't change any thing!   I am glad I moved out of the LA area though. Well, hey I guess I'll see you at the re-union!

From Kenneth:

Hello All:

I won't be able to attend the reunion. I'm a bit hobbled up with an injury so traveling to SoCal would be difficult. I know I'm missing out on a great opportunity, but there will be a "next time."

Injuries aside, I'm doing well these days. I'm living in a wonderful town called Benicia (which is located around the top of the San Francisco bay.) I enjoy a wonderful wife, two daughters (Bernice and Kiana) and one son (Ethan.)

My oldest daughter, Bernice, is going to school at Sonoma State University. She's a straight A student, a Karate Black-Belt and a wonderful young lady. Kiana is 10 and wants to be a dancer. She's long and lean (like me) so she's very graceful on the stage. Ethan is 7 and he pretty much rules the house.

Currently, I work for a company called VerizonBusiness. My official title there is Senior Consultant. But, my real job is a Software Architect. I love what I do and fortunately, I'm pretty good at it. So, I'm lucky in the job department.

That's the thumbnail sketch of my life at the moment. I wish everyone the best. And, I hope you enjoy the party!

Cheers,

Ken
