Even though I graduated from a different school my heart is with LVHS. Both my parents, my siblings, aunts , uncles and cousins and even my grandmother are all LVHS alumns.
I started Kindergarten with many of you and even attended some of your birthdays when we were babies. My parents grew up with some of your parents and remained close throughout their lives.
My best memories involve many of you. I am the luckiest girl in the world to have remained close friends with both Cec Goldfarb Lehrer And Kristine Vandermark Powell. Through the years we have shared our lives and talked to each other practically daily. So many of you were close friends at Crestwood and JC Fremont. Jill assures me I am still part of the class! I am not sharing any specific memories from our childhoods for fear my children and grandchildren are not really prepared to know just how much fun we all had in the "old Las Vegas"
My parents are no longer alive and can't "ground me" but Jill, some of our shenanigans will remain secrets! This class really knew how to have fun! Hense, the reason my parents shipped me off to a boring prep school. You all are simply the best and so special. Thank-you for allowing me to celebrate with you.
School Story

I attended UNR and graduated from UNLV.

I Did graduate school in Women's Studies at San Jose State and Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University. My profession is in mental health and after retiring from Santa Clara County Mental Health I still have my private psychotherapy practice in Palo Alto. i lived in Palo Alto for for 35 years.
My husband Allen is a physician retired after 38 years from Stanford Medicine where he did research and was Division Chief of Gastrroenterology and Hepatology. We now live in San Francisco. Our main activity is sailing. We spent sabbaticals in the past and 3 years ago spent a year living onboard our boat and sailing in Mexico. We plan to sail to the Gulf Islands in Canada this coming spring. Living in San Francisco is way more fun than Palo Alto and we take advantage of all the museums, opera etc. offered in the City.

Oh Jill, I’m so happy for you two. What a sweet sweet song to add to your well lived life.
You will definitely keep lucky Jim on his toes!!!
Few people can keep up with your wit and humor. I’m sure Jim will be up to the task.
Does this mean the next time we see you we will
be charmed by your Southern accent???
Much much love and best wishes. Please keep us up to date on life in the South. Big change for a native Nevadan. How about starting a news letter or a blog??? Please send pictures and let us all know about your adventures. Selfishly, i will miss not knowing you are close by and at least theoretically a short plane ride away from a reunion lunch.

Hi Everyone
I have been talking to Bob and he would like a list of Katherine’s friends and their contact information. He was so happy to hear everyone liked her so much. Bob would love to hear from anyone who wants to contact him. Please do. Katherine was his last sibling. Bob is a really nice guy and was a state representative from my area when I lived in Palo Alto. Katherine was my friend when we were little kids and while we were in scouts. Her family was always so nice and her mom was our scout leader. Most of you were friends with Katherine during high school (I was MIA at boarding school) and were lucky enough to know her at LVHS!! Please reach out to Bob or maybe some organized person could send him a list of friends and class members.
Hugs
k
