If anyone is interested, I paid good money for it, so I might as well use it.
If you post your high school name, the city it is in as well as state and graduating year and your name & I will see if I can locate you. I might even download a digital copy of your years books for you, if you want. My mom went to Fountain Valley High School in Huntington Beach, CA. Class of '75.

Cool, it does not surprise me that you can only find 1975. I looked for yearbooks of the four years i was there, and they only had two. 75 was the only year I was able to buy a book back then, but it was destroyed by water damage. When I can afford it, I'll buy another one. 
BTW, thanks for the image, brings back memories.

They said all the right things, and the honeymoon's going along well. Hopefully it's a good beginning. Doesn't hurt that the team is winning, either.
I went to last Sunday's game...big crowd, and the stadium looked as beautiful as ever.

It is hard to believe how bad that call was. I think sometimes they, being human, see the play correctly but the brain just jumps to a wrong call. And, also because they are human, they won't correct themselves, even when they know they blew it.
Did any of you old timers ever read Ron Luciano's books? I remember reading the first, The Umpire Stikes Back. It has been many years, but an anecdote that I remember is about the umpire behind the plate. A pitch was ridiculously outside the strike zone, and the umpire said BALL, but he motioned STRIKE. The batter objected of course, and the umpire said "you heard ball, the catcher heard ball, but 50,000 people saw me call strike. So it is a strike!" I've probably mixed up the story a bit but that was the essence. It was a good read. Don't know if it is still in print.
