Hi Friends, Sorry for the previous "word swamp"! I'm still kickin, and am glad many of you are still around, I hope to come to the 50th Reunion and wish I'd had more time at the 35th to talk with more of you especially Tom Kelly who lived across the street from me on Canoe Brook Parkway, but also people like Rob Vaughn who I played trombone with in band.

I'm doing some crowd funding because I need help bringing a book off the back burner that will really help a lot of people! You can see a some background at http://iahf.com/on_the_back_wards.html 

I started writing it in 1989https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWEdaAaxIH8. An actor friend wants to help me turn into a movie, his name is Nick Mancuso and he lives in Paris. We met via the Global Health Freedom Movement, anyone interested can see me in a Documentary Film that I helped make and which I'm interviewed in, its called "We Become Silent- The Last Days of Health Freedom" and can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWEdaAaxIH8

I can be reached at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile and at 1-360-945-0352 H&W
jham@iahf.com  It sure would be fun to reconnect with any of you! I would like to help with the next reunion, I'm good at finding people.

Kindest Regards,

Hi Classmates! Anyone got a place I can crash for two weeks in or near Dallas TX? ( Am willing to pay, to help grocery shop and cook) Reach me via jham@ishf.com also at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile/Viber 556 Boundary Bay Rd Point Roberts WA 98281.  I need to travel there soon to use the Phoenix Thera-Lase Cutting edge healing Laser that is heavily endorsed by NFL teams, also by the Department of Defense (for repairing serious damage to knees and other joints of SEALS and other Special Forces. Such iconic NFL football players as Ed "Two Tall" Jones and Randy White (Dallas Cowboys) have had extensive and impressive healing experiences using this device https://phoenixthera-lase.com/ which I need to use because of a serious injury 9 years ago that has me walking with two canes today and having to wear a "Medical Guardian" call for help button around my neck in case I fall. I have herniated disks in my lumbar spine very little cartilage under my left patella and a pinched Sciatic nerve on the left side of my body. Had to sell my standard shift Toyota Carolla because every time I'd step on the clutch with my left foot, lightening bolts of extreme pain would rip through the left side of my body. In place of the Corolla which was too small for my mangled body to get in and out of without being a contorsionist) I now enjoy a far more comfortable 2013 RAV 4 Ltd Edition SUV (an automatic) that I can get in snd out of far more easily!  HOW I GOT SEVERELY INJURED Nine years ago I was nearly killed as a civilian in a war zone on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. I should have listened to the State Droartments warning not to go there, but badly wanted to learn Agnihotra snd Homa farming two really useful healing and agriculture techniques from India that physicists today are studying with total fascination and so are Naturopaths and Herbalists like me!   I worked in an alternative cancer hospital in Rosarito Beach, Mexico several years ago before the criminal US FDA leaned on their equally criminal Mexican counterparts to literally DESTROY our wonderful hospital with a crane and wrecking ball due to all the lives we saved using sch "Forbidden" treatments as Ozone and all other effective Buo Oxidative therapies, orthomolecular medicine, and Naturopathic approaches from the Benedict Lust School of Naturopathy (among others) My Grandfsther was an MD ( Radiologist) as well as a Naturopath/ Herbalist and country doctor trained originally by his dad who learned to read from a copy of Grays Anatomy as a teenage medic in the confederate Army during the Civil War. After the war my Great Grandfather returned to the small Appalachian village where he'd been born and raised in East Tennessee, he was a Presbyterian Minister who also sold mules (the Four Wheel Drives) in those hills before there WERE 4x4s! He was also made the Doctor by popular demand (since no one else knew how) He delivered many babies on kitchen tables from an early age then was assisted by my grandfather once he was about 12. So it's in my blood to be a healer. My journey was shifted in this direction following my recovery from so called "mental" illness and I tell that story here if you're interested https://iahf.com/on_the_back_wards.html Some of you may remember that a tree (150' tall Hemlock) fell on me during a Tornado when I was 16. I had an out of body experience and was given a choice whether or not to renter my body.. our Creator allowed me to do a Franklin Close as part of deciding what to do!  This all happened on a coed YMCA canoe trip through the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the Adirondacks.  I spent time in a Body Cast with a broken hip, broken pelvis my bladder had been burst while full of urine and I had extensive internal injuries but bounced back fast enough that less than a year later I tried out for the Baseball team then Senior Year I ran Cross Country and Track and threw Javelin in College where I was also on the Sailing Team Washington College Chestertown MD.  so much more to recount but gotta return to sleep am self employed running three businesses! I would enjoy communicating with classmates if anyone wants to call me at 1-480-309-3027 Mobile/Viber.. or by email jham@iahf.com www.iahf.com www.sulfurforhealth.com. www.no codexgenocide.com. www.sulfurforhealth.com

Eric (Rick) Lemcke of 1975 or 1976 alumni passed away last week.

Eric was a pilot for 30 years flying cargo jets all around the world. Even though I lived in Millburn I met Eric at 15 years old and have many great memories as a kid with him.
He passed from heart complications way to young.

RIP my friend.

I don't remember still feeling this warm and fuzzy almost four weeks after the 20th reunion.  Of course these days I don't remember much past a few days.  Only thing wrong with 35 was it wasn't long enough and I didn't get to visit with enough people for enough time.  What a great reunion!  Thank you to the committee for everything.  BTW - If anyone has any questions about the music put together for the reunion I invite you to contact me directly: batkinson3@mac.com

Great work Mimi and Gang!  What fun!

A word of thanks to the organizing committee who made the weekend happen: I'm one of those chronic "non-joiners" (refused to go to the prom) so planning a reunion is not something I would think to do, but now, I get it!  Thank you for making it happen. Everyone had a great time and I'm just in awe of the organizers who gave it so much thought and effort. And to the rest of my classmates: it was nice to meet you all again on the "other side" of so many richly realized lives. By the way, Randy Granger gave me permission to give out his email so for all those who asked: rgranger@penncharter.com

What sorta jolts me when I ponder the class of 1960 having their 50th Reunion while we're having our 35th is that my brother Rob was only 3 years younger than those guys and he died a couple years ago.

A client of mine is the Life Extension Foundation in Florida, some of you might be interested www.lef.org They fund alternative gerontological research and publish a great magazine that you can find on Newstands or by joining them.

My brother Rob died from an aortic aneurysm while crawling under his bed one morning going after his shoes while getting dressed for work. Could happen to any of us! Check out the Rath/Pauling protocol for the prevention of human cardiovascular disease- its a very simple, inexpensive nutritional protocol involving Vitamin C, lycine and some other penny nutrients.... Re James idea of challenging class of 1960 to touch football, realize you're only joking James, but some of those guys could be in surprisingly good shape! I swim in a Masters swim club and we've got people in their 60s and 70s who are in astonishing shape- some are world champions in their age groups!

James -- does this mean we'll be old codgers in 15 years?  I think NOT!

Just a quick question for the organizing committee: 

If lodging for out of towners is still an issue, would SHS be amenable to letting us camp out in the school courtyard again ? 

Greatly looking forward to seeing everyone !!!

I say we challenge those old codgers in the class of 1960 to a touch football game. If we win, they foot the cost of changing our cash bar into an open bar. If they win, we won't beat them up.

You know how old they are? They're so old, they went to high school at the junior high school.

John is right about the DeBary Inn.  The Class of 1960 is having their 50th our same weekend and they booked all the rooms.  Check into the other hotels (Travelers tab) because there should be availability.  Remember to call (as opposed to reserving on the Internet) and mention "SHS Class of 1975."
