Vilma Mixco, Norman Abulencia and Sally Rasmussen
return to Jefferson for the lighting of
Madden Lights.

It's been 20 years since you graduated from Jefferson.
AND THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE!
But when you were all together, it seemed like yesterday.


OCTOBER 6, 2001
EMBASSY SUITES

250 Gateway Blvd.
SO. SAN FRANCISCO


OCTOBER 5, 2001

The Indian football team played at Jeff under "Madden Lights".  The new Indian coach is 1976 grad, Mike DeNatale.  Eduardo Mixco, Ako Poti and other Jeff graduates will be assisting him.  It was a great way for you to start your reunion.

OCTOBER 5, 2001 JEFFERSON FOOTBALL GAME
    
JEFFERSON CLASS OF '81 AND FRIENDS REUNION
 

     The photo album will add to the story here, but to get you ready here are a
few pictures and highlights.

Chairperson for the event was Sally Rasmussen Leogrande with help from Danice Pokorny, Vilma Mixco, and Mom's contacts. Victor Bonilla and Irma came early since they were staying at the hotel. 

Remember that this was a Class of '81 and Friends Reunion.
The most senior grads were 1979ers Gary Foppiano and Carmen Alvarez.
(Also, Helena Fokin, '70 teacher/grad, my sister Sharon Caruso, ’62, and I were there to see you, too.).


Gary talks with George DeBono, '83.


Carmen arrives with Eloy Lucero, '80.


Former Principal Ike McClanahan
and his lovely wife Ruth ...were joined by Helena Fokin, Bob Brandi and Greg Alvarado from the staff.   It was fun to watch their smiles throughout the night as they were reintroduced to their  “kids ”, now all grown up. 

   The dance floor didn’t quite get going until I brought out my own copy of “Rapper’s Delight”.  I remember how often it was played around the house at those Friday night parties—I would have liked to have played it all night, to get even.  Teehee

Norman Abulencia, ’81 traveled the farthest from Ft. Lewis, Washington.  Actually he drove down.  He was on stand-by and was called to duty during the reunion.  He is in the U.S. Army.  We all knew then, that something was going to happen and it did. His wife, Elfie, had to drive the car home.

The group didn't travel too far to be there.  Brett Bailey from the Class of '86 came from Texas.  From the farthest south was Marilyn Loveless Santiago who lives in Chulla Vista.  And from the west was Esther Sam Huddleston all the way from Southgate Blvd., Daly City.

 The first grandmother was Leona Aquino.

Paula Jolivette had the most children with 4.

The tallest was Rod Jenkins..  I never realized how tall he was and is.  Everyone thought I was a bit crazy taking this picture.  Oh, well, it's a great shot.

The one who got around the most was Thaddeus Gil, and I never caught him once on the telephone.  Here is looking over yearbooks with Felicia Bell, '82.

Two classmates, who were there,  married Jeff Grads.
Charlene Chervellera with Matt Aquino, '80 (and Gary) and Rich Rauh and Jackie Talavera, 81ers.

And look who stayed until the very end.  Only Sally and Victor from '81.
