This made me sad........

I found a website page last night that showed a memorial page for those who have passed in the graduating class a year before me.
I was shocked!

Saving the picture of these fine souls I realized it is 3-30-13......A lot of 3's lately.
I tried to place photo but did not work.

I wish I knew what happened to them.

I have something else I'll post too.

Why so many who have passed?
That seems an awful lot to me!

What if any, is the story behind this tragic sequence of events? did they all pass together, I am now wondering?

Yes Vanilla.
Maybe there was a 'school trip' and an accident.
Seems odd that passed members are 'remembered'
Cos there must me thousands!

I'm sure Vanilla that they did not pass together.
This class is one year ahead of me I graduated in 72.
I am very surprised that so many have died in that class.
Does look like three died in 2011. Others are not mentioned.
No Mia, when were in school there was no trip that any group died in.
Passed members remembered is just the 71 school year. maybe out of 100? I don't know where my year book with the kids is right now.

It's a mystery then xxx

I guess it is. I'm not in contact with two gals from that year that lived down the street form me.

Did you see my new post in the dream section?

I have another photo to add to it. A real life photo I took today.

I graduated in 1969.. I have a similar memorium as you as well but more men then you had. Reason was lost them in Viet Nam.
I also live in what is called the chemical valley due to three chemical plants . We have lots of people who have developed cancers over the years because of them. Before the regulations on emissions etc.
Your also in that age bracket before they tighten up the belt on what can be released into the air and car emissions etc. It ahs definately affected health in people over 50 years of age. Under they are doign better as things got stricter.
This could possibly account for many of your deaths as well.
Just thinking outloud....

Could be Laura. That never occurred to me.
Our school is not in the city. We are rural.
But the LA smog does get up here once in a while.

My husband was a 69' graduate also.

Still very sad indeed, especially that they were all underneath the age of 60. Such a short life.

There is always a reason for multiple deaths at one time. Sickness usually of a disease that may have spread. Was there any epidemics in the area at that time?

They didn't all die at the same time. They are only showing them that same age due to it being a high school alumni. And and who is not around any longer.

I don't even thing our class year has one of those pages. But I know of one who died in our 12th grade.

Susan she was driving home on this road and there is a curve with a blind spot. A camper hit her head on and I remember her father being a pastor and being the first one at the scene. Her father pulled the blinker stick out of her neck. Remember those? They were about 7 inches long on the right hand side or was it the left. She died at the scene.

I would be interested in who is still around in my class. I've have never attended a high school reunion only barbecue I was teased like crazy in school; made fun of harassed etc. etc. etc. One of the classmates male on the reunion team somehow found me and asked me to go to the 2002 reunion but I just could not bring myself to do it. If asked now......I would definitely go. I'm listed on some of the alumni sights. I've PM'd a few and a few have replied but mostly they join and forget coming back LOL I'm curious of the twins are still around. I saw them both in a dream one night.
