| The following is a
editorial letter written by Peggy Allardyce to
the Daily Review, October 2, 1998. A Plea for Abandoned
Cats
I was advised to write to you by several agencies
involved with rescuing abandoned cats, as a last
resort. I have been feeding some cats
behind K-Mart and McDonald's on Mission Blvd. in
Hayward for about eight month. I have
reported the situation to both businesses several
times to try to receive some help in trapping
them and getting them homes. They are aware
of the situation but never follow through with
help.
I am
disabled and in so much pain I cannot continue
going. Besides, the cost of food is too
much for my limited budget. I was told to
bring this to the attention of the media.
This is my last week I can help them. I
have already caught several and rescued
them. If the businesses see this, maybe
they will act finally. Or maybe some dear
reader will offer to help me take over the job of
feeding them.

Please let me know if you
would like to help Peggy by mailing me and I will
pass along your phone number to her.
Peggy was a nurse and
suffered severe back injuries picking up
patients.

Update:
I received
message that Danny Parker, '69 passed on
in June '98.
Informed
that Celia Metoyer and Cheryl Hulbert
were in the class of '72.
Trish Eye ('70)
has
found love, is getting married to Alvaro and
moving to the Netherlands. It must be soon
as her email address is no longer valid. I
hope when she settles in, she comes back on line
and visits the site. If you would like to
see a photo of Alvaro and Trish's current
statement, click here.
We all wish
her well and happiness in her new life.
ps. Trish
has a special message for Don.
pps. Trish
created the 1970's site and I received
the following message:
As the web
master for the page
http://www.oocities.org/Athens/Acropolis/9488/
I thought
you would like to know that your page has been
added to my "cool links list" at www.oocities.org/SouthBeach/Inlet/8693/List283.html

Subject: Raul
Hernandez
I'm
trying to locate some information on a Raul
Hernandez who went to Sunset High School
back in the early 60's. He recently passed away
and I am trying to find out for his children
where his ashes were placed after his
death. They were not able to attend his
services and would like to pay there respects. If
ANYONE could help with this
information I would greatly appreciate if you
could e-mail me at ddawgs4@ix.netcom.com
(Do you know
where Raul Hernandez is?)
Hi! I've
set up a web site dedicated to the Class of
'90 on my own domain, at http://www.mvk.net/shs. This way, we'll
be able to have a guestbook and other scripts,
and update much more quickly as we plan our
reunion.
I've
included several links back to your site for more
general SHS info.
Can you
please link to the Class of '90 site?
Thanks!-
Michael Van
Kleeck
Class
President
(It's
with great pleasure that I link back to Mike's
Class of '90's site. If you are creating a
site for your graduating class, I will happily
link to it. Added note: The class
pages I have created will be moved to this site
in the future. Not sure when....)
Lesley Kim ('88) is the proud creator of the 1988 Class Site. Pay a
visit and let her know what you think.
I'm more
then happy to give up any claims to class
pages. I know the pages I created are
so generic.
Are you up
to the task of creating your class page?
I'll happily link and advertise.
- - - - - - - - - -
K.I.S.S.
will be implemented on the Sunset site
- The Alumni Link's
Page is gone. All links are under the
person's name in the Email Directory.
- Class page links
also can be found on the Email Directory
page. The year above the graduating
class is active and will lead you to a
class page.
- Please be advised
that the table at the bottom of the
class page may not lead you where you
want to go. I am currently working
on them.

California Elections on
November 3, 1998 Don't forget to
vote! Your future depends on it! As you know I don't
normally make recommendations regarding elected
officials or propositions, this year is the
exception.
- FYI
-
Simon Flores
('69)
is running for the New Haven School Board (Union
City) again.
Shirley Quon ('71)
worked at the Southland Polling Place for the
June Primary. Shirley has a 14 yr.
old daughter. Hope to see Shirley when I
vote in November and talk to her more.
I'm
one of those people like Peggy
Allardyce ('71) who come to the
defense of animals. I know, I know, why not
defend the children, well there are many
organizations that protect children's right's but
few who speak up for those who can't defend
themselves.
You can
click on the Proposition number and read both
sides of the issue or visit the Voter Information
Guide on the
California Secretary of
State - Official Home Page. Here
are my recommendations for:
Proposition
4, Trapping
Practices. Bans the Use of Specified Traps
and Animal Poisons.
..."The
TRUTH: Prop 4 is reasonable, moderate, and
narrowly tailored. It will stop inhumane,
indiscriminate trapping. It will protect
wildlife and family pets.
Humane societies, environmentalists, wildlife
biologists, and veterinarians agree: VOTE
"YES" ON 4!"
Proposition
6, Criminal
Law. Prohibition on Slaughter of Horses and
Sale of Horsemeat for Human Consumption.
Initiative Statute.
A YES
vote on this measure
means: Both the slaughter of horses for
human consumption and the sale of horsemeat for
human consumption would be illegal in
California. In addition, horses could not
be sent out of California for slaughter in other
states or countries for human consumption.
Viet Nam has a problem
with rodents eating the rice and grain and do you
know why? Because the Vietnamese like to
eat cats. Cats are a delicacy. . Now
the government is outlawing the eating of cats to
try and control the rats.
Another aside, Taiwan
treats it's dogs and cats in such a horrible
manner that U.S. Veterinarians are in Taiwan
helping to establish a Animal Control.
These people treat animals in such a horrible
manner ( I saw film footage on MSNBC & I was
sickened, but the mass drowning, electrocutions,
compacting in their garbage facilities. Our
garbage is treated better then the way they treat
animals.)
It is an established
fact that a person who mistreats animals is
likely to abuse and kill later in life.
I'm
reprinting a letter by Julie Machado
('76) regarding Measure HH. I agree with
Julie and I think you will too after you read her
letter to the Daily Review dtd October 25,
1998.
In
recent days, I've noticed numerous letters to the
editor in support of Measure HH. I
can't help but assume these letters are
part of yet another well organized and well
funded campaign fueled by developers, as
has happened so often in Hayward's past.
This time, the developers have a sympathetic
"front" in the Historical Society, a
church and a sports park. However, the
voters are smarter now, and I pray they will not
allow this particular violation of open space.
I will be voting against Measure HH because
I don't believe it would be good for the
community to endure 400 truck loads daily,
for 1½ years, of dirt dragged across town in
order to fill these wetlands prior to
building. I don't believe future homeowners
in this development would be pleased to endure
regular threats of flooding, as well as constant
over flights by large jets.
I
believe that the portion of this site west of the
railroad tracks (where the homes are planned)
should instead be included in the adjacent Don
Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife
Refuge as permanent open space, as the Hayward
Area Shoreline Planning Agency has supported for
many years.
The
church and the Historical Society will be able to
reap their profits if they are a little patient,
as there soon will be money available for
mitigating the San Francisco and Oakland Airport
expansions. Wetlands are an important part
of our ecological community, and only 10 percent
of original wetlands are left in the whole Bay
area.
I
will be voting against Measure HH, against
this development and in support of open space,
wetlands, the endangered California clapper rail
and salt marsh harvest mouse, and wildlife
habitat.

is considered a Pacific Flyway. Basically,
we are a sky way for migatory birds, such
as the Canadian Snow Geese, Bats, etc.

(Below is a
message I received from Chuck Lee '62. He
sent photos, don't forget to take a peek at
them. Give him a write too. I will
get Chuck's bio on the class of '62's
page....sooner or later.)
Hi!
My step dad called me today, to tell me about the
Sunset HS web site.
I've been prowling around the site for the last
half hour or so, have added a bookmark to my
browser, and thought I'd send a message as well.
I've been living in Switzerland for the last 15
months, working for a Swiss manufacturer of land
surveying instruments. After moving to Nevada,
and before starting work with my current
employer, I became a Registered Land Surveyor in
Nevada. Since then, I've lived in Texas and
Georgia. I figure maybe fifteen more years and I
will have moved so far east of home, I'll be home
again!
My job and related travels have taken me to all
but one of the 48 contiguous states plus Hawaii,
and Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, Jamaica,
Trinidad, Guiana, Sweden, England, Germany,
Austria, Italy, France, Turkey, Australia, New
Zealand and Fiji. In 1962, I never even conceived
of travel much beyond the eleven western states
and now I'm thinking about making a trip to
Australia from here, mostly so I can say I have
been all the way around the world!
I've attached a picture I took recently while on
a day trip with some friends who were visiting me
from the US... I thought you might enjoy using it
on your web site. The castle (Neuschwanstein - means New Swan Stone, referring to
the very white limestone used in its
construction) is in Bavaria, and was being built
by "Crazy" (allegedly) King Ludwig when
the bodies of he and his doctor were found
floating in a nearby lake. The official verdict
was accidental death, but the controversy rages
on more than 100 years later. The castle was
opened to the public almost immediately after
Ludwig's death, but work on it was never
completed.
And, in a sudden fit of egomania (I guess), I've
also attached a picture of myself - taken just a
few months ago while visiting a friend in Georgia
(his boat, my smile!)
Thanks for taking the time to put together the
web site... I enjoyed browsing it.
Regards
Chuck Lee '62
