THE DOMINGUEZ HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1962 – 50 YEAR REUNION
Robert Thornton, Committee Chairman

 Welcome to the Dominguez High School Class of 1962’s Web Page.  We hope you find it enjoyable.

This Web Page is special to us because it was designed and is maintained by one of our own classmates, Ray Holt, who made history by designing and producing the first computer chip in history; two years before Intel invented their chip.  We plan on showing a video of Ray’s historic accomplishment the evening of the reunion.  Ray will be there all weekend and would love to talk to his classmates about how it all happened and its historical significance.

The main reason for this reunion is to reunite you with not only your former classmates but also, as Bob Dylan said in his poem, “Some of the first friends you ever had”.  The Mission of your reunion committee is to make available a time and place for this to happen.  We have scheduled August 11, 2012 at the Embassy Suites near the Orange County airport as the time and place.  The rest is up to you!

One of our classmates recently told me that, if she had to do it all over again, she would not have “just” hung-out with her close friends but would also have taken the time to get to know everyone in our class.  The last 50 years has shown us that we had an unusual number of very special individuals in our class, some of whom we might not have gotten to know very well, if at all.  Maybe we can take some time at this reunion to get to know those we did not know as well as we might have, taking away for the event some “new” close “old” friends.

Well, the evening should be enjoyable if not fun.  We will also have a “hospitality suite” open Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday mornings.  The hotel lobby is also conducive for small groups to gather.

There will be a professional videographer / documentarian filming and interviewing Classmates throughout the evening.  This video will be available for purchase at a nominal price.  You can place your order with the videographer that evening.  Please feel free to be interviewed and to pass along your thoughts to your fellow Classmates who may or may not be here to experience it.   

We have also selected a “Mystery MC” from our class to MC the evening’s program.  This should be a good change from the past formats.  Come and guess who it might be.

The reunion could not happen without the help and support of so many of our classmates.  The following classmates are involved in putting on our reunion: Alan Edwards and his wife Gerri, Johnel Booker Combs, Joan Bailey Bibee, Margo Kuzee, Sheryl Mills McCamey, Jeanne Archambault Krogh, Edie Palmer Durham, Bill Bell, Richard Williams, Bob Thornton, Barbara Beacon Fryer, & Ray Holt

Most of all, SHOW UP AND HAVE AN ENJOYABLE EVENING!
