Class of 1960 members will be sad to read this message I recently received from Joyce Roberts' son Sam Dolan.
"It has come to my attention that my mother, Joyce L. Roberts (Class 1960) is still listed as missing in your alumni directory for that class. I am afraid that I must report that my mother passed away on July 3, 1988 in Sedona, Arizona after a three year struggle with cancer.
She is survived by her second husband Jeffery Dolan of Sedona, Arizona, and all three of her children, Jeff Ponce (Los Angeles), Bradley Ponce (Elk Grove, Ca.), and Samuel Kilborn Dolan (Los Angeles). She also has two grandsons, Evan Ponce (born 1999) and John Kilborn Dolan (2009). She is also survived by her aunt and uncle, Dorothy and Robert Elder of Temple City."

If you like dusty fields, you'll love TC Piazza. Older alumni remember, of course, the original Temple Theater with its western motif - including wagon-wheel fences. That structure was demolished in the 1970s to make room for a small multiplex, now also gone. The project has not been free of political and legal controversy, with civic officials and project developers accused of bad design and legal malfeasance. This dominant location at Rosemead and Las Tunas deserves quality redevelopment by people who care. The corner helps to define the town, and in our opinion should not be given free rein do do less.

Here’s the scoop! TCHS Class of '66 reunion cruise to Ensenada!! We haven't had a reunion since our 20th, so Gayle Whiteley Minjarez, Marianne Whyte and Diane Harris Kaplan decided enough is enough...let's just plan something!
Details: Set it up with my girlfriend that’s in travel. Carnival cruise three day cruise, all inclusive, all outside cabins category 6b Friday October 22, 2010 returning Monday, October 25th Cost: $330.10 per person If we have enough people we can have a private cocktail reception. We can arrange for all of us to sit at tables that are all located in the same area. People will be assigned seats, but we can all switch around however we want. Need to have full name of each passenger, date of birth, address, telephone number and credit card number (with address), expiration date. $25 deposit per person to hold your reservation due 12/1/09. Balance won’t be due till June of 2010. I know it’s quick but I think if everyone contacts everyone they know, we’ll be ok – I’ve had my friend reserve 50 cabins for us….if we don’t need 50, it’s ok price stays the same. If more people want to come after December, we can no doubt add them as space allows. Have everyone you know contact me with their info. 714-336-2875. Exciting, huh? Hope it works for you!!!! Love, Diane Harris Kaplan Randy Ulmer '78 reports that Kevin Crabill class of 1974 passed away in September 2008. He is survived by his wife Robin Crabill, son Daniel Crabill and daughter Stephanie Crabill.
We have discovered that a spammer managed to send about 200 messages to members yesterday 9/3. Today 9/4 we are working actively to add to our security. Although we have deleted the spam content, we cannot recall the notifications, so if you sign in in response you may be confused, as the system will show you have no such message. We regret any inconvenience.
The offender actually created a membership and sent the messages individually, apparently in reverse order of registrations. Bulk mailing to the member list is not possible. Members may rest assured that their actual emails are unknown to the sender (unless, of course, you respond to the spam). Note that we have addressed the problem within a few minutes of receiving notice. RC ;) The welcome mat is still laid out (for FB Coach Randy White) on the footsteps at Temple City High, according to Miguel Melendez of the Pasadena Star-News. White's task at hand wasn't an easy one. He had to hire a new coaching staff, get his parents and players to believe in the new spread offense he's instilling this season all the while lurking behind the shadow of Randy Backus, who became extremely popular among players and staff during his 10-plus years at TC...With that (and more) in mind, I give you a crack at my predicted order of how teams will finish in the Rio Hondo League:

Temple City Councilwoman Judy Wong received six bribes from a local developer totaling $13,000 - taking half of some payments in cash and half in checks she gave to politicians she favored, according to newly released grand jury transcripts, according to a recent SGV Tribune article.
At Wong's suggestion, developer Randy Wang wrote checks to the election campaigns of state Board of Equalization President Judy Chu, now a congressional representative, as well as state Assemblymen Anthony Portantino and Mike Eng and state Sen. Carol Liu, Wang told the grand jury. The proceedings led to the grand jury's 21-count indictment against Councilwoman Wong, former mayor Cathe Wilson, and former City Council candidate Scott Carwile. The three were charged with bribery, perjury and other crimes after the indictment was unsealed June 10. Rocky Curtiss ('62) has sent us the following news flash:
3 Temple City figures indicted in corruption case Mayor Judy Wong, former Mayor Cathe Wilson and Wilson's campaign treasurer, Scott Carwile, have pleaded not guilty to charges that include perjury and bribery. The three were indicted Wednesday on charges of perjury and soliciting and receiving bribes from a developer in exchange for supporting his $75-million mall project.
