70 Year Reunion Announcement!
A POSSIBLE REUNION IN 2026, YES!!!!
South High School's 100th anniversary celebration SEE VIDEO BELOW Mother's Day video!!!!!
Aloha Classmates:
I ;have received word that SHAFI and the high school itself are thinking about celebrating South's openeing in 1926. Imagine, 100 years. Hard to believe. What a wonderful time to get our class together to celebrate its 70th anniversary. There must surely we can some way piggyback our reunion to the one that is being planned for the school. I have heard from a number of you who live at a distance that are willing to travel to a reunion. Who I have not heard from is anyone living in the greater Denver area, either to attend or more importantly help in any small way. I am going to get in touch with Francis Tafoya who does the FaceBook page for SHAFI, she has good contacts with the reunions scheduled at South. If there is anyone out there who is interested in attending or helping in a small way with a reunion next year please email me, cut and paste my address into your own email program. [email protected] Hope to see you at South in 2026.
Aloha Classmates:
I've received this interesting suggestion from Glenn Ward, of Highland Ranch, CO, in regards to a possible reunion site for next year. Glenn and I would like to hear from all of you in regards to a possible reunion and if this site is of interest to you. Please either email me at [email protected] or contact Glenn. You can also use the Class News chat box below this reunion box on the class website to respond.
From Glenn:
Highlands Ranch Metro District (Colorado) is building a very nice Senior Center which is scheduled for an opening in October 2024.
The Senior Center Newsletter has offered rooms for rental. Which might provide a site for an attempt at a one day gathering for 2025......I have received information about the use of this facility and after a quick look it appears that it would serve the purpose of a short one-day gathering. Do you think an inquiry on the web site could be made as to whether there would be any interest in gathering at this location in September of 2025 realizing that this is a year early, but time waits for no one.
Glenn points out that this website gets at least 30 "hits" a day!!! I know that there have been more than 28,000 hits since I last counted and I know that there are not that many of us alive but to hear from you are that are visiting this website please do check in with an email to me. I do try to respond in a reasonable time. Yes, I am alive, kicking and still at the computer most days.

Graduated from Stanford University in Modern European Literature in Dec. 1960. Married Bill Rideout (Stanford ’51) by proxy in March 1961, joined him in France for church wedding and honeymoon and set up housekeeping in Kinshasa (then Leopoldville), Congo during the height of civil war following independence. First daughter Christina born March 1962 in Congo. Lived in Wimbledon, UK while Bill worked at the American Embassy. Son Britt and daughter Julie born there in 1963 and 1964 respectively. Back to Stanford from 1966 to 1970 while Bill earned Ph.D. Off to Florida State University in 1970, where Bill taught in the College of Education and I earned MA in English and Ph.D. in Humanities while being faculty wife, suburban full-time mom, chauffeur, etc. Moved to Los Angeles area in 1975 when Bill joined School of Education at USC. I finally finished my dissertation in 1981 and later that year went to work at USC. I was at the USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center from 1982 until my retirement in July 2007, where I was the Associate Director for Administration and Education. Following their various graduations from college and graduate school and their respective marriages, our children have raised families of their own in Santa Clarita CA (Christina has 3 boys), Cambridge MA (Britt has 2 boys) and Raleigh NC (Julie has 2 girls). The grandchildren now range in age from 22 to 30! We are occasionally lucky enough to all be together in the same place at the same joyfully chaotic time, an occurrence that sadly becomes less frequent as the grandchildren become enmeshed in the working worlds.
Retirement is filled with travel (less so since COVID), reading and enjoying family and friends. In the Fall of 2011 we moved to a retirement community in Raleigh, NC. I was widowed in March 2016 when Bill died after a long illness with Parkinson's and related dementia.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
