60 Year Reunion Announcement!
West High, Class of 1964, 60 Year Class Reunion
Saturday,
August
17,
2024 - 4:00 pm
The Cloverleaf Bar and Grill, 1240 Hollis St, Bremerton, WA 98310
Free until we spend the $1025 in our reunion fund, and then anything you might order is on you.
This event is headed by Ron Burley and it is Ron's intent is to make it low cost and an easy event to manage. Again, it is free to all of our classmates and because we have some money left over from the sale of Microsoft stock that we invested in years ago (thanks to Bruce Christopherson's suggestion) we will use that to cover the initial costs - we will supply pizza and drinks until the money is gone and then anything else will be paid for by the individuals ordering after we have depleted our funds. At our 55-year reunion we were able to cover all costs at that time; at our 50-year reunion we were able to cover a vast majority of the costs. Hoping to see everyone for our 60th!
We have some exciting news to share! In addition to the main reunion event, we have decided to add a golf outing to our festivities. The golf outing will take place on the day before the reunion, August 16th, starting at 10:30 AM at picturesque Gold Mountain on the Olympic Course.
But that's not all! Before the golf outing kicks off, we invite you to join us for a delightful breakfast at The Garage Bar and Grill, located at 6812 Kitsap Way, Bremerton, WA 98312. The breakfast will commence at 8:00 AM and is open to everyone, whether you're a seasoned golfer or simply looking for a fantastic opportunity to catch up with old friends. Yes, you read that right, even if you don't play golf, you're more than welcome to attend and share the camaraderie with your fellow classmates. Let us know if you will be attending the breakfast by no later than August 12th so that we can give the folks at The Garage Bar & Grill a heads-up. Just email Ron letting him know you want to sign-up for the breakfast.
As for myself, I can't wait for the breakfast and the chance to connect with old friends. Golf may not be my game, but the company of our cherished classmates certainly is.
If you're interested in participating in the golf outing, please don't hesitate to contact Ron Burley via email. If you have a particular person in mind that you'd like to be paired with for the golf outing, kindly let Ron know, and he will do his best to make it happen. The cutoff date for signing up for golf will be August 12th so that we have time to get everything put together. Just email Ron if you want to sign-up for golf. If you have any questions or need more details about the golf event, please feel free to reach out to Ron. He's our go-to person for all things golf-related.
We're incredibly excited about this 60-Year Reunion Weekend and are eagerly anticipating a fantastic turnout. Let's make this reunion unforgettable! Mark your calendars and start your preparations, it's going to be a remarkable event.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or simply want to catch up, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
Ron Burley [email protected] 360-340-1564
As many of my West High friends know, I transferred to East High School halfway through my junior year at WHS when my parents moved to East Bremerton. After attending Navy Yard City and Marion Avenue grade schools, Coontz Jr. high and then on to West I really never graduated from West but instead from East in 1964. After high school I joined the military and after returning from overseas I worked for J.C. Penney as a manager before going back to college at the University of Washington. After graduating and getting into Civil Service at PSNS for 3 years. I then moved to northern California for a few years with the Navy at the shipyard in Vallejo, where my twins were born. After 2 years I moved back to Bremerton for another 6 years completed my Master’s Degree at PLU and my 3rd child was born. In 1983 I moved back to northern California to work for the Navy’s Regional Office in San Francisco. In 1984 I met Dolores “Sam” Moore through work and she became my wife on 30 June 1985. We moved to Napa Valley area for a couple years before her job took her back to McClellan AFB in Sacramento, CA. and I commuted to the Bay area for 9 years from Sacramento.
In 1996 I took an early retirement from Civil Service and opened my own consulting business. Then In 1997 “Sam” was transferred to Randolph AFB in San Antonio, TX and we moved to Schertz (pronounced “Shirts”). I continued my consulting business until mid-2006, when the Department of Defense “made me an offer I couldn’t refuse” so I went back to Civil Service work as a Federal Investigator and Mediator out of the office in San Antonio. I retired a 2nd time in July 2010. We have continued to enjoy traveling the USA and Europe since 2007 and hope to continue for many, healthy years ahead.
There are still just my 3 ‘single’ children, no grandkids, and “Sam” and I have raised 3 cats and 2 dogs in our 29 years together. We enjoy traveling the U.S. and around the world. Travel is the reason I wasn't able to attend our 45th reunion, we were in Europe for 21 days. We spent time on a cruise from Copenhagen to 7 different countries and then flew to Germany for a week’s driving tour around Germany, France and Austria. We will attend Reunion #50 unless my parents' health issues make that not possible.
