This page was last updated on 08/15/06 Recent Rants and Ramblings... Back in May I spotted Drew Dix having dinner at a hotel restaurant in LA. By chance we were both attending conferences at the same hotel that day. We had a great time catching up and managed to catch the Dodgers / Mets game that night. Two nights later I connected with Kent Woodhouse who still lives in Manhattan Beach. We got to swap old MHS stories and even reminisce about the time he and I went undefeated in beach volleyball right there on Manhattan Beach where the pier has plaques for the best players in the world like Karch Kiraly, Mike Dodd, Sinjin Smith and many more. Our next reunion is planned for next summer (Summer of 2007). It is time to start reconnecting with all of those missing classmates. If you have recently run into someone who's been conspicuously absent from our reunions or if you are that missing classmate send me a note and your contact info as you won't want to miss the next bash. Luck is in the air as I recently traded email with a few lost friends of the Class of 1977 such as Hillary Cope, Nancy Poteat, Patti Day and Kate Lacey. Our 30th Reunion will be here soon enough so drop me a note even if it is to just let me know your current email address. Mendham High School - Class of 1977 - 25th Reunion Photo Gallery Check the Lost Classmates list as well as the Lost Friends list and let me know if you can help locate any of these old friends.

| The September 11th attack on the US prompted me to get in touch with a number of you. Hearing from so many of you (check out the messages I received from Mendhamites) that you were out of harm's way lifted my spirits and many of you shared this feeling. |
|
In our attempts to reconnect with each other we have uncovered some tragic news mixed in amongst all of the good news. In an effort to answer all of our "whatever happened too...?" questions regarding our classmates I'll try to keep an additional factual list of those in our class who have died (far too young I might add). I'll post only reports that I can verify. For the rest of us out there send me something about yourself to let the class know what you are up to, I'll put the info next to your photo in the online directory. |

On a rumor circulating at our 20th
reunion I did a little hunting around on the internet and found ex-classmate Thom
Gimbel right where he was rumored to have been - playing saxophone and singing
background vocals for Aerosmith! Thom was rumored to have been a member of
Aerosmith's touring band during live shows ('93-95'). Not only did this turn out to
be true but Thom has a credit on at least two studio lp's, Aerosmith's "Get A
Grip" and "Big Ones". Here is an excerpt from www.cdnow.com's brief review of "Get A Grip"(If
you download the Real Audio player you can listen to some excerpts from this album):
