Jerry, thanks so much for "The Day the Music Died". You do a great service for
those who attended Highland High during the "good years"!! I sent you an update
on my demographics a couple of days ago, I do want to be included in getting
information on the upcoming reunion. Again, we ALL appreciate your hard work and
dedication so much. Thanks much. |

Sue (Schott) Bolton, Longmont, CO wrote: "Thanks for the information. A
funny coincidence: I attended a Memorabilia Night/ Fundraiser for Rotary's Polio
Plus Campaign last Saturday night, and we played a fun trivia game with teams of
6 people each. One of the questions from the 50's was to name 3 musicians who
died in the crash. Everyone on our team knew Buddy Holly, and some remembered
Richie Valens, but I was the ONLY one to mention The Big Bopper. The younger
members of our team thought I was nuts until the answers were announced!
Hope to attend the 50-th. I've never made it to any of the class reunions so
far...." |

Thank you for your hard work and an outstanding HHS site." |
Marji Moore Shaefer, Johnson City, TN. wrote: "Feb
4,1959 - I was an announcer for KHHS lunchroom C show (for a short time).
I hadn't been listening to news, so the first I heard about the crash was in the
booth, just before the show. We played the news announcement and Buddy Holly
music the whole time. I didn't do any announcing after that. I am still
working toward the masters in storytelling at East Tennessee State University in
Johnson City, TN. We like it so much, we bought a house and rented out our condo
in Michigan. My next big project is a program of stories about growing up on
Route 66.
If anyone has stories, history or pictures about Route 66,
please e-mail me, "

was a fun remembrance, I do remember where I was when I heard the news. American
Pie is a favorite of mine and my children, we used to sing it at the top of our
lungs driving the byways and highways. Thanks." |

Arnold Fried from Oakdale, CA wrote: "Jerry:
Thanks for keeping me updated. I have a little update for you. I am retired but
still working part time at Tracy Chevrolet, up to 30 hours a week , keeps me out
of trouble, at least for a few days a week. Hope all is well with you and we are
looking forward to the 50th." |

grad] and I were sitting in John’s 1950 Ford at the original LottaBurger on South San Mateo [Now the Acapulco burrito stand]
and heard the sad news on the car radio. It was surreal as we
just knew these early Rock Stars were immortal. And you know…..
they truly are and will be until we, who were a live part of it
all are all dead.
I’m now a member of the country gentry, Ha!. I bought
some land and built a new house east of the Sandias. It gets me
out of the mob scene in town." |

Dennis Roberts from Albuquerque wrote: "Jerry—Thanks
for the note. The web page looks great. Buddy Holly had a great
impact on music of the late 1950’s. It’s amazing how many hit
songs he had in a relatively short period of time (1956-59), and
many of them were recorded in Clovis, NM. I have updated my
information on the site, as you requested. I retired from
Associated General Contractors on December 31, 2008, after 40
years there. I’m still teaching at UNM….Thanks for all the great
work you do for the class of 1960." |
Anne Wengerd Riffey from Temple
city, CA wrote: "Jerry, thanks for all you
do with the website. My info is current with you and
I'm looking forward to hearing more about the reunion in
2010. I check the website regularly and enjoy seeing
the photos. Jeanne Ball Sampson and I get together for
lunch several times a year and always have a lot to talk
about. My husband, Mike and I are enjoying our motorhome and traveled this year to Alaska on an
organized caravan with 22 other rigs of folks we didn't
know. It was great. We'll incorporate the 50th reunion
into our travel plans for 2010. We'll actually be in
Albuquerque this April for the Good Sam Rally - April 17
- 21. We arrive on April 9 and leave the 22nd. Safe
travels to you and keep up the good work."

I have just completed my first
professional CD album of original music which is inspired by a
recent trip to Durango, Colorado. It consists of nine original
works, music of the region, the towns and the narrow gauge railroad
which runs between Durango and Silverton. All of these pieces are
composed in Mac Garageband software, so I have composed and am
conducting The Great Western Laptop Orchestra.
Visit Thomas' WEB site
for his movie reviews,
original music, and much more....
