Hi - My first post here but wanted to recommend a great new book https://dmzforgottenwar.com/ if interested. Korea was a big part of many of our lives; this book highlights the events that led to the Korean War up to Post-War modern Korea. Lots of pictures and illustrations; significant US Military coverage and contribution.

Know the author's brother who's based out of Seattle and unfortunately a Husky; Go Cougs!

In any case, thought I'd share a meaningful book.

It would be interesting to put together a documentary of SAHS and its alums(titled "NIDO"), while most alums and teachers are still alive( no offence and wish you all longevity and health). I envision it as a collaborative project headed by a committee made up of representatives from each decade(with sufficient funds to engage specialists as needed). The end product would capture both visuals (pictures and reels collected from both public and private(alums)sources) and narratives through interviews and other sources. It will analyze the forces and dynamics that shaped our perception at the time(an objective assessment of what was happening beyond our walls and US policies that had direct impact on our lives); our account of our experiences; what we took away from our experiences; and what impact our experiences had on our lives( not necessarily in that order). Finally, the project would be financed by donations from alums (GoFundMe). A time capsule sent with our first colonization of Mars will include SAHS doc. Just a thought...

Young Do Kim (1984) Given our intellectual wherewithal, I always assumed SAHS would produce likes of Elon Musk or Bill Gates..I blame it all on our conservative upbringing for not producing eminence.

Nice idea! Btw conservative is not a bad thing. I certainly had a creative career as an entertainer.

Hey now! I (well, my wife, but I helped) 😀 produced two respectful, thoughtful, patriotic, kind, generous boys and I'll chalk that up as a win. As Denzel Washington said, no one pulls a U-Haul with their hearse. If I die and know that my wife I did right by raising two productive, successful and kind boys, I'll die a happy man. I may not have the billions, but that's OK. I remember while talking to a friend in college about how AWESOME it would be to make $35K a year. That was a long time ago! :)

It does take a while to understand that money isn't everything in life. Glad I learned it sooner rather than later.

Wait.. What? Did anyone else see that an "All Years" (1959-2019) SAHS reunion has just been proposed for Jan-Feb 2022 (date tbd) in New Orleans on top of the already scheduled 1974-1999 reunion in Las Vegas in April 2022? Having two reunions in one year covering the same populations is going to be problematic with respect to the more recently proposed reunion "canabalizing" the other. Any chance of improving coordination / cooperation between the planners? I'm teetering on whether to go to the Vegas reunion, but not sure it makes sense to go to either knowing that others will be going to one but not the other, generally halving those I might see in what would otherwise be a once in a lifetime event for me.

Kudos to both of you! Hansang, you are exactly where I thought you'd be..occupying a "C-suite" at a bleeding edge tech company..
Christina, my daughter is following in your footsteps( I am encouraging and supporting her), trying to make her mark in cruel, unforgiving and chauvinistic world they call Hollywood. I envy those with talent, passion and gumption, like you, who'd dared to live unscripted lives.

I'm back. It's been a long time since I've been on this site. I went to SAHS my Junior and senior year 82 to 84.
I like to give a shout out to Jarvis Labelle Brown. We played football together in high school and at the City College of San Francisco "Rams".

Carol Boyle (Milder) (1980) Just tried reserving a room for the Las Vegas reunion in April next year. I hoped to check in Wednesday 4/20 and check out Saturday 4)23. However, all sites say that all rooms have been sold out. Do you guys have recommendations for an alternate place to stay that would be close to the reunion site? Thanks! Carol (Boyle) Milder (1980)

Hello my SAHS brethrens, it's been a while since my last post. I have been busy helping people get their taxes done! I received a phone call from a taxpayer today asking what was the maximum income she needed to earn to maximize her EIC(earned income credit, welfare) for 2021. I asked ,in response, why that was important. She replied, " so that I can quit working when I hit that number". I NEARLY THREW UP!!!! Then, I received another phone call from an Indian student in US on F1 (student visa), receiving unemployment( The state of Texas needs reform) and wanting to file a tax return (with 0 earned income) so that he can receive recovery rebate payments...these pieces of s*** are bilking our treasury. Yet we have thousands of homeless veterans with mental health issues(I am one of them, although I have no need for financial assistance)whose needs are not being addressed.

Hi, this is for Lyn Shaw, who is having a birthday today, I believe.

I've been sorting out my parents' old slides and found this one. I think this is Lyn Shaw on the left ? and that's definitely me on the right.
