Gabe, I was thinking that the Class of 99 could purchase a plaque and have it mounted on an outside wall at the new school. Kind of like a dedication and have a space on it where we recognize those that are no longer with us, Chris Peterson, Dion Martinez, Daniel Romero, Thomas Pino, etc. I don’t know if you remember but our faculty at the time had told us that we would be the first graduating class from the new high school. I think it would be a lasting statement of what our school was and should be which is more than just a school or community of learning but a family. I can’t speak for others but I know I grieved at the passing of our friends and at times still do. Please forward this to everyone and see what they think.
Best regards,
Harry Brian Montoya
please note that there is a section on the registration form, for voluntary donations to a family fund. if the class decides to use this money for a plaque, i think that could work pretty smoothly. i am contacting the school to make sure they allow us to do these things.

Brian also included Chris Peterson, which I think is a great idea, but I think that we should also include Nelson Gutierrez and any other teachers that have passed away since we were in school that were teachers while we were there.
