During our sophmore year at Amador I rode my Garelli 125 cc motorcycle to school from Dublin and Mike would let me park it at his house. I remember Mike taking his dads honda 305 cc scrambler down Burnell Ave.heading out of town towards the fair grounds at over 80 miles per hour and going over the railroad tracks ( which at that time were elevated ) and he flew thru the air like evil kinevel . I also remember him taking his Dads new buick reviera down foothill road at high speed and losing control an the curve just before Highland Oaks and flying thru the fence and landing in someones back yard. I believe Joann Rutherford was with him and she broke her arm. Exciting times at Amador High School. Just a few of Memories

Very sorry to hear about Mikes Passing

Happy Birthday Pete, Hope all is well with you and your family

Very sad to hear about Craigs passing. Craig and I worked together at the Burger Pit in Dublin in the evenings after school and on the weekends.He started out as a bussboy and then worked his way up to Set up next to me at the Grill where I cooked the steaks and hamburgers on the charcoal grill and he would set up the plates with the garlic bread salid, bake potatoes etc. He eventually was cooking on the charcoal grill too. When we worked together everyone called us the Mod Squad.

I remember I use to take this large chopping knife that was used to chop heads of lettice and I would flip it into the air and then catch it by the handle like any average out of his mind teenager show off would do and one time Craig took the knife and tossed it in the air and on its return flip the handle did not make it completely around and the blade hit him in upper part of the wrist just below his thumb. We were all in kind of shock dumbfounded looking at what looked like just a crease in his skin until he moved his hand and the crease opened up and you could see the bone And it started bleeding ! We all freaked out He was rushed to the hospital where they stitched it up and it was OK .Luckily it did not hit the artery or tendons in his wrist or that he did not try to grab the knife by the blade and loose any fingers. Crazy teenager Funn times!!

Everyone would meet at the Burger Pit after closing at around 10:30 and head to San Leandro to Cruizzzz in our cool cars,,,Dennis Bria,Kirk Pope ,Louis Fiore, Tony Abrew(Later known as Mario) Keith Greathouse, Angelo Simone, Bill Simone, Jack Bautista, Mike Henshaw, Phil Aubin, Bob Coupe, Dan Leiske,Keven Frye, Larry Heintz, Stuart Whitchurch, Bob Matheson,Danny Matson, and many more,,,,,This was before the movie "American Graffitti",,,we LIVED the those happy days and Craig was a very big part of our lives , I will always cherish the great times we all shared with Craig,,,,,

We all knew Paul by his nickname (Schmeadly). He had a very cool White 1958 Thunderbird  that had a retractible sunroof. Pauls Mom owned the realestate company Echelon and her office was in the Drug City (Romleys Market) shopping center in Dublin next to the hardware store that had the flourescent lights that made a very loud humming noise.

Paul and his older brother would often be at his moms realestate office. Paul had a Great since of humor and was always alot of fun to hang out with.
