Hi Dave Woah... I also graduated in 1970. Cubberley was just around the corner as it were. I remember it as it was yesterday... best year in school I ever had. I'd been in Whitefish Montana for the previous 7 years and did a kind of <<foreign exchange>> thing on a private basis with a family down in Palo Alto. Santa Cruz was just so cool... and it was the early seventies... actually fall of 1969. Those were TIMES !!. We used to climb this tree that had a very convenient overhang into Stanford Stadium on game day :)... Ok Stanford rarely had a good team.... but it was good old time college football. Yeah.. its a bit of a drive over the hills from Palo Alto... but sooooo nice back then. I've been back a few times through the years for one of those walks down memory lane. If you are still there you might do me a favor if you get the chance. Did'nt really get to know so much of the rest of the area... somewhere a bit south of Half moon bay (I think) there was this nudist beach we at the age of 17-18 were of course anxious to try out. And Big Sur and points south of course....well that came a couple years later.... Cool you went to Cubberley. There was a third High School in Palo Alto wasnt there ? Cant remember. Anyways... Cheers RicB No way, Ric...you didn't go to Paly, really, did you?? I'm a cubberley high grad from 1970.? And a Santa Cruz frequenter, too, mostly body boarding.? 26th Ave., Seabright (the one next to Boardwalk), Steamer's, and occasionally Ocean Beach in SF when I was feeling brave.? I wish I lived close enough to make it practical to do once in a while.? Driving all week makes me not want to drive up and over the hill on weekends. Dave Stahl
