Vallejo Sports Hall of Fame
Well, I tried. I fought through the pain in the knee and went down to
Vallejo to the Sports Hall of Fame. Billy Gordon ’64 was kind enough
to park my car for me so I wouldn’t have to walk far. I didn’t last
long… After about two hours I had to call it a night… the pain was just
too much, so Billy got my car and I headed for home. So if the
coverage of the event is not what you might have expected, my
apologies… I just couldn’t hang. That’s really too bad because there
were lots of people I wanted to see and wasn’t able to get around to
them.

Separately these two great athletes were a force to be reckoned with… can you
imagine if they’d been on the same team.
Actually, they did compete against each
other while in high school where they each
“starred” for their respective schools. The
Apaches played the Hilltoppers twice in
basketball and won both games and also
beat the much smaller school in baseball.

I really wish I could have stayed but I couldn’t handle the pain. I’m particularly
sorry I didn’t get to cover the VHS ’63 baseball team. I knew most of those guys
and I would have loved to visit with them. I did get to see Butch Dunkle for a
minute though.
Inducted into the 2017 class were Terry Duensing, Mike Zuppan, Bob Robitaille,
Draak Davis, Reggie Hubbard, Mike Brown, Gary Young, Armand Chiono. the 1963

From: Joyce Coggburn SV63
Good morning Harry! Saw you walk into the HOF dinner last night and didn't see you
again! I was stuck in the middle of the table and it was difficult to get out! It was a
wonderful evening and Jim would have loved it! It made me sad, but I was proud to
accept his award! All his teammates were so kind and what a pleasure it was to see all
of them and their guests.
Thank you for all your help in getting the team inducted! I think they all enjoyed
themselves and appreciated your help in making this happen!!
Gail and I would like to attend the St. Patrick's Day lunch in Benicia. We appreciate the
invitation and will see you and Sally on the 17th.

Apaches Alumni Day is Friday, April 28
Yes, it’s that time of the year again folks, our annual VHS Apaches
Alumni Day is right around the corner… well, next month anyway.
Last year was an unparalleled success with 300+ people showing up
at the Vets Hall on Admiral Callaghan Lane and 250 people staying for
a very nice buffet lunch served by City Lights.
Looking for Sponsors
We are now in the process of asking for sponsors for the event as we
did last year. We don’t need as much as we brought in last year
because we still have a surplus, but if you want to be listed as a
sponsor in the program send a check, along with your name as you
want it posted, or a name you want to recognize In Memoriam. Sugested donation is $20 but we’ll gratefully accept whatever amount you
send in.
Make your check payable to Harry Diavatis and mail it to:
5087 Green Meadow Court
Fairfield, CA 94534

The Living Tree Memorial Park
Interest seems to be growing again and people want to order brick
pavers. To place an order I need a minimum of a dozen bricks so we
are once again opening up the opportunity to
anyone who might want to participate. The bricks
are $65 dollars each and may be purchased for
yourself or In Memoriam for a friend or classmate.
You can find the order form in the PSA section of
this MU. If we’re able to place the order within a
couple of weeks the pavers should be in place
prior to the next VHS Apaches Alumni Day in April.

A Weekly Report in Support of Change to
the Vallejo School Board and Administration
The Tangled Web…
Time to Topple the Bishop
Let me make it abundantly clear…
I don’t enjoy politics, be they National or Local. I’ll be much happier
when our schools return to some form of normalcy and I can quit
writing about them. However, I can’t stand the corruption and arrogance which seems to be a hallmark of the current Vallejo School
District Administration under the leadership (?) of Ramona Bishop.
There is no question that changes need to be made. Changes which
will make our schools safer and more productive. And until these
changes are made, you can expect to continue reading about the
Vallejo Schools administration which is self-serving, arrogant, corrupt
and woefully mismanaged. Someone needs to shine the cleansing
light of day on this problem and if it has to be me… so be it.

Meanwhile, VCUSD Watchdog Allan Yeap ’89 continues
to ask tough questions…
From: Allan Yeap
Ms. Nunley
Chief Financial Officer
This purchasing manual (recently given to him) is quite out of date. Does the district
have an Escape accounting/tutoring manual so staff knows how to use Escape?
1) The travel procedures guidelines are from 2011. Shouldn't that be updated?
2) The consultant procedures/guidelines are from 2009. Also needs to be updated, no?
3) On page 13 of the manual it says that "Tech support has set up a website.
http://www.vcusd.us, that contains current quotes from various vendors for VCUSD
standardized equipment, such as printers and toners, computers, multimedia
equipment, and networking equipment. Click the third box down on the left hand side of
the webpage, Standard Quotes."
I don't see that webpage set up nor can I access the quotes. Does this webpage exist
per the manual?
And per your own bylaws, are there quotes for refurbished equipment as well?
I would appreciate acknowledgement of this email. More than happy to cite this as a
Public Records Act (PRA) but would prefer a discussion, if easier.
…and here’s more from Allan
Public Records Request
Hello Ms Nunley,
Can you explain/document the following:
On 3/16/2016 - REQ16-02218 for Sheraton Grand hotel in the amount of $12,751.75.
The description says "hotel accommodations for CAAASA PD Summit".
1) Who from VCUSD stayed at the Sheraton Grand?
2) Where is this hotel located?
3) How many people stayed at this conference?
4) How many nights were paid for?
2) It says the resource was from LCAP. Did students stay overnight at the hotel?
3) What is CAAASA PD summit?
9
Please acknowledge receipt of this email. Feel free to pass this letter onto anyone else
in order to compile the information.
Thank you.
Allan, I looked CAAASA up online and here’s what I found:
California Association of African-American
Superintendents and Administrators
"A Systematic Approach to Academic Success"
A Statewide Approach for Success for African American and All Students of Color
Last year the event was in Sacramento. How many administrators
attended and stayed for $12,751. Are you kidding me? Sacramento is
one hour from Vallejo… why couldn’t they have made the drive and
saved the district all that money.
This year they’re meeting in San Diego and Ramona Bishop is
scheduled to be a workshop presenter. Her bio was in the blurb
advertising the event. This sounds like a complete rip-off junket for
Ramona and her posse. Send Ramona and let her take notes to share
upon her return.
From: Allan Yeap
From 2016-2017 to 2018-2019, VCUSD deficit increases from $695k to $5.493 million.
It will be easier to deal with the problem NOW vs waiting until 2018 to figure out how to
reduce a $5.493 deficit.
Lastly, teachers are the lynchpin that hold this district together. Without enough
teachers, VCUSD will continue to lose students. Would any of us want our children to
be taught by non- certified teachers or substitutes year round? If budget cuts need to
happen, I suggest the board look to ADMINISTRATION first before laying off teachers.
You don't have enough teachers as it is.
I agree wholeheartedly with Allan. I would go a step further… make
ALL administrators responsible for teaching at least one class a day,
including Ramona.
10
From: Allan Yeap
If you compare the budget projections from last year to this year's projections, you will
see that they are quite off.
It's not a revenue problem, it's an "expense" issue.
Compare FY 2016-17: the revenue projections are somewhat close ($151.8 mil vs
$153.6 mil) but the expense projections are more inaccurate ($150.5mil vs $154.3 mil).
So the district goes from thinking they have a $3.6 mil increase to a $695k deficit for FY
2016-17.
Budget projections are never easy but expenses are where you have more control.
 Why waste $75,000 on investigating teachers?
 How much money is spent on conferences and travel?
 Why buy new computers when refurbished will do? (Imagine if they saved 30%
on their tech budget by buying refurbished computers?)
 Why have 5 vice-principals at VHS? (Imagine if they streamlined management?)
I'll have to see if there's a 3rd budget projection but this deficit spending cannot
continue.
In my opinion, every spending decision should be predicated by: "how will this expense
benefit student achievement?"
Amen to that, Allan.
...
Hmmm… is this Ramona Bishop’s way of fighting back and trying to
intimidate the Board? Makes one wonder...
From: Marianne Kearney-Brown
School Board Trustee
Tonight I was told that I was the subject of a possible investigation as a result of an
employee complaint.
VCUSD BB 9321 states
"The Board may also hold a closed session to hear complaints
or charges brought against an employee by another person or
employee, unless the employee requests an open session.
11
Before the Board holds a closed session on specific complaints
or charges brought against an employee, the employee shall
receive written notice of his/her right to have the complaints or
charges heard in open session if desired. This notice shall be
delivered personally or by mail at least 24 hours before the time
of the session. (Government Code 54957)"
As a board member, I am an employee of the district. Why was I not given 24 hour
notice of this complaint? Why was I not given the opportunity to have this complaint
presented in open session, which would have been my preference?
Ms. Marshall-Freeman said this could be a "whistleblower" situation.
Whistleblowers[1] may file complaints that they believe
reasonably evidences a violation of a law, rule or regulation;
gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of
authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or
safety.
Which of these conditions apply to this situation?
Ms. Marshall-Freeman and Dr. Bishop told me that I was not to speak of any of this to
anyone outside of the closed session room until the investigation was conducted.
Why? As an employee, I had the right to have this complaint presented in open session.
Which board bylaw, statute, or regulation allows Ms. Marshall-Freeman and Dr. Bishop
to decide that I must have the complaint against me heard in closed session and that I
must also keep the complaint against me a secret? Who are we protecting?
I do not want it to be secret. I want us to follow the law.
Let me know as soon as soon as possible if there will be an investigation.
Go get ‘em, Marianne. Don’t fall for their scare tactics. We need to
get rid of Bishop and her henchmen (women) as soon as possible.
They are trying to intimidate the Governing Board.

My knee is still a major problem. I’m taking Tylenol several times a
day to keep the pain in check. I was told several years ago that
eventually I would have to have both knees replaced but, frankly, I’m
not ready to do that at present. I would like my legs to be stronger
before I go the transplant route, otherwise I’ll really have problems
walking and climbing the stairs in our house. What to do… what to do.
Okay, well, I finally contacted my doctor and she suggested rubbing
some icy/hot on it and taking a bath with Epsom Salts. If I lay down in
a bathtub I’d never be able to get up, so that idea is out. She also
offered an injection of cortisone, if I want. I don’t know… do I want?
I did apply some Ben-Gay… hard to tell if it helps. I’m telling you that
living with this pain sucks the joy right out of life.

The Mail Bag
From: Glenn Dyson ‘66
I would suggest that while the Berryessa "Glory Hole" is in full
flow, that you and Mr. Brooks rent a 2-seat Kayak and “shoot
the hole”, so to speak. It might be a ride worth writing about,
similar to "Mr. Toads Wild Ride". It would also be something
that the Guiness Book of Records might give a plaque for to
represent the insanity of your golden years!
Glenn, I think that’s a great idea, but how about this... I’ll rent a 3seater and you can join us.

Hello Harry,
I read with interest, the articles about the school board. I was waiting for someone to
go after Shackelford. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I certainly hope
enough pressure will be put on the old regime to get rid of all of them.
Question: where does all the lottery money go that is supposed to be for public
schools? It would be interesting to see how much Vallejo schools receive and how it is
spent.

ALLOCATION OF CALIFORNIA STATE LOTTERY FUNDS 2011-12
Solano County Grand Jury
A predetermined formula separates Lottery funds into two accounts: • Restricted Lottery
funds are for the purchase of instructional materials as defined in Education Code
§60010. Instructional materials include learning resources to help students acquire
facts, skills, or opinions. These include text books, technology-based material, and
other types of educational materials and tests. •
Unrestricted Lottery funds are not to be used to acquire real estate, build school
facilities, finance research, or serve any other non-instructional purpose, such as
maintenance, business, or administrative operations.

Hi Harry and all. I have always marveled at how God answers prayers. My oldest
daughter, Jo Ann, will not have the operation right now. She was sent home to deal
with other issues, getting them under control before they will reevaluate her for the
operation in about 6 months. We never know what He has in store for us. Thank you
all for the prayers.
You're right, the cold weather is no friend of arthritis. My doctor gave me some 5%
lidocaine which somewhat helps. I have only been able to get it at Kaiser. It is
considered an over the counter purchase, but CVS and others are only allowed to carry
4%.

From: Louis Popoloski ‘60
Good Morning my friends,
I miss football! So instead of watching the Sunday football game, I go shopping with my
wife, we have so much fun! I stay in the car, she goes shopping, kidding here, I would
miss sparing with her too much! At the deli counter, my wife is ordering some sandwich
meats, and as the counter staff is handing the package ham to her, she yells out
“CATCH!” Standing in back of the crowd of women, she tosses the package at me, as
the other females duck, and just as I look up to see it flying to me, I jump, and make the
catch. The guy standing next to my wife sees what is going on and laughs out loud,
along with the other females, then my wife and the guy exchange words …they both
laugh, and I can’t hear what they are saying.
Now I have just recently had a spot of skin cancer from the inside of my ear, the good
news? It’s the best cancer (if there is such a thing) to get, the bad news, is the place of
the cancer location! The Mos Doctor took the skin down to the cartilage, which is
yellow. I have tried every things to cover the wound, but nothing sticks to the ear. I am
to keep the wound cover with Vaseline, and not to ever let the wound dry out. So now I
just goop it up with a wad of Vaseline, with no bandage.
Now back to my wife and the guy she is talking to. I walk up to the two of them standing
within the crowd of shoppers and I look at the man and say, “You might think that is
funny, buddy, but check out my ear, where she threw a claw hammer at me and look
where it hit me!” Now it was my turn to laugh as I turned to go back to our shopping
cart.
Last night, as a true Rhode Islander, I know someone that knows a person that won an
Oscar! Yes, Viola Davis from our small state. Best Supporting Actress, and in this small
state, you always know someone that knows somebody, or you probably know the
17
person themselves. I personally know one of the people that ran for President last time
around! We use to duck hunt together. Then after a few years, we worked for the same
company and sailed together.
Looking forward to getting a new heating system (boiler) this late spring, I wanted to get
a heating engineer to look over the home and tell me how many BTU’s I would need.
After adding on to this home, I am afraid that I might be over taxing the forced hot water
boiler that is as old as this home… some thirty seven years. My wife found that the
state has a free consultant on home heating, they will be coming by next week. We will
see if my tax dollars are being spent well. I know that with this computer at hand, I and
can find all the information to calculate the BTU’s I’ll need. I have done this one time
before when I owned the summer home in N. Kingstown. Now I am just the lazy old
man.
All the snow that was around, disappeared this weekend with the onset of very warm
weather, upper 60’s maybe even in the 70’s. Now the ground is all wet and very soft
from the thaw. With the three dogs now in residence here, 3X4=12 sets of muddy foot
prints! Not only that but the boy dog has found that dipping his feet into the water bowl,
gets rid of the mud… more mess, you can’t get mad at him but only to admire his
resources! The scary thing is that dogs learn from each other!

Hi Harry,
Glad to see you’re making progress in your
recovery, albeit a bit slowly, from surgery. Having
only experienced very minor surgery I can’t
imagine getting back on track after something as
serious as yours. Here’s to continued positive
progress. Glad, too, to hear Sally’s feeling better
as well.
I’ve recently reconnected with one of my high
school teachers whom I also knew in childhood. Gary Coronado and I had lunch recently
along with his wife, Vi. Gary graduated from
Saints in 1957 and returned to teach there in the
early and mid ’60’s. As his younger brother Ralph was a classmate and we grew up in
the same neighborhood we were familiar with each other from a much younger age. In
fact I was in the first grade when he was in the eighth at St Vincent’s grammar school.
20
Here’s a photo (June 12, 1953) showing his graduation class with me and another first
grader, Nora Tapp, who were chosen to be assistants at the graduation. He’s in the
fourth row, second from the left.
He went on spend most of his teaching and coaching career in Marin County. Strange
to realize, sometimes, that some of our high school teachers were not that much older
than we were.

music. Gabriel is captivated and stares in deep concentration.

Here’s Gabriel standing in my mom's chair (his maternal
great-grandmother Vera J. Johnson) on Wednesday, March
01, 2017.
This is a series of texts between maternal grandmother
Brenda JOHNSON Green and great-aunt Alice JOHNSON
Stanberry on Thursday, March 2, 2017.
Brenda: GABRIEL!! Standing in Mother's chair on
Wednesday, March 1, 2017. He was told to get down and
was disciplined. Then he got right back up there again. All
boy!
Alice: He is all boy and happy to be standing in chair.
Brenda: What can we do but love him. He is so funny. This morning no yesterday
morning it was rockin' upstairs. He was running back and forth like a Dynamo and then I
heard TWO pitter patters. She had joined him. They like to chase each other.
Alice: Twins are fun aren't they.
Brenda: Most of the time. I was satisfied with Rue though. I just didn't know how
interesting and entertaining they could be. I wish I had taken the picture of them the
other day when he was crying and Imani was petting him and she kissed him to make
him better.
Alice: She loves her brother.
Brenda: Yep and he loves her although we don't yet see it in action. I can picture him
fighting to protect her when he is older--actually her, too. She is quick to lay hands on a
person.
Alice: They will always be there for one another.
Brenda: That is the way it should always be.
...
Also, Brenda reports that she saw this on Facebook and wonders if
anyone knows Sue Burchfield HH71 so that the ID can be returned.
22
Wait! There’s more…
From: Brenda Johnson-Green ‘63
Okay, this is where I am. I found the obituary for Marilyn Sue Burchfield-Sindelar's
parents. Last documented information I have is that she lives with her husband Paul in
Upland, California . I found her brother David in Benicia and have his physical address.
I left a message a few minutes ago for a call back. I also found Sue's address and a
possible telephone number and email address. Since all I have is the picture of her ID
card and really don't know the person who sent it, that is, except they are on Instagram
which I know nothing about, if the family wants to retrieve the ID card, I will turn the
picture over to them. Then I move out of the way.
I realized a long time ago that the internet is both a blessing and can be a curse when
we retrieved my son's information on the internet for less than $10. It took me less than
a half an hour to get this much information and I could have gotten more just from my
little cell phone.
As it turned out, her classmates found her. It would make a nice story for the Monday
Update. Just a thought. You know, technology won out again.
Way to go, Sherlock Brenda. LOL.

From: Ben Roesch ‘63
Hi, Harry! Can you give me some advice? I'd like to know which method you use to
dry seeds. Do you use the "rinse well & dry" method or the "let it rot a little then rinse
23
and dry" method?
Hello Benno: To save my heirloom tomato seeds, I just take the ripe
tomato, scoop out the insides with the seeds. I'll harvest the seeds
one of two ways: if I'm impatient, and I usually am, I'll put it all in a
strainer until I get it down to mostly seeds, then I'll put it on a large
plate and using the tip of a knife separate the seeds from the
remaining pulp. The other way is to place the pulp and seeds in a
glass of water, stir well, and wait a couple of days. The scum floats to
the top and the seeds sink to the bottom. Hope this helps.
Of course the other option is you eat the tomato and then have Burpee
Seed Co. send you more seeds. LOL.
You can pretty much do the same with cucumber seeds, but one of the
best cuke plants I ever had was last season when it sprung up on its
own from one that rotted the previous year. It was extremely prolific
and grew up and around my tomato plants.

CURIOUSLY ---- I dug these two keys on
opposite sides of a tree. I suspect they

HEDGING BETS ---- I would bet on the hedges.
”The hedgehog's dilemma, or
sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is a
metaphor about the challenges of
human intim-acy. It describes a
situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one
another to share heat during cold
weather. They must remain apart,
however, as they cannot avoid hurting
one another with their sharp spines.
Though they all share the intention of a
close reciprocal relationship, this may
not occur, for reasons they cannot avoid.”
THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN IN 1958 ---L-R: Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly,
Tommy Allsup, and Carl Bunch seen in
back. On February 2, 1959, “the day the
music died”, Tommy Allsup flipped a fiftycent piece (remember those?) with Richie
Valens to see who would get a seat on
the small aircraft Buddy Holly had
chartered and who would continue riding
on the band’s not-heated tour bus.
Tommy lost the toss but went on to enjoy
a full life. He just died at age 85.
Allsup had given his wallet to Holly to pick up his “general delivery” mail. When it was
found at the crash site initial death reports included Allsup. The tour soldiered on for
two more weeks with Jennings singing Holly’s songs. Dion and the Belmonts were
brought in as headliners.
Fresh out of high school, Allsup began his career playing in a Tulsa western swing
band. His gifts (and hard work) later led to success in Nashville and Los Angeles
recording sessions, including on: “Cathy’s Clown” with the Everly Brothers, “The
Gambler” with Kenny Rogers, “Behind Closed Doors” with Charlie Rich, and the 1969
Number One song, “In the Year 2525” with Yager and Evans. One might wonder if
Allsup suggested that line in “2525” about “the day the music died”.

MY MEAL THE OTHER DAY ---- at the brand-new
Lou Lou’s Creperie in Purcelllville, VA was good. It’s
nice to have a little bit of France out in DC’s exurbs,
even if it is Americanized.

I LIKE GOOGLE’S ART ---- as expressed in its

REMEMBER ---- (artful) hood ornaments? I miss
them. Our family had a late ’40s Pontiac for a while
with one like this. Pontiacs were also identifiable by
chrome strips on the hood.

I think the first car in this old Georgia Street photo is a Pontiac.
BRUNCH ---- options are
excellent at the Field and Main
restaurant in Marshall, VA. My
sausage and vegetables dish
was good. I took this photograph from their front dining
room looking across the street
to the “Gentle Harvest” store.
The Gentle Harvest establishment is a combination
deli, bakery, and general store offering (including online sales) “alternative / eco-conscious” items. It is
owned by someone who may have been at Chico
State at the same time (’73-’75) as one or two of you
readers, Sandy Lerner. From there she went on to
study at Claremont and Stanford where she just
happened to co-found Cisco Systems. The quick
success of this enterprise allowed her to spend the
rest of her life doing whatever she pleased.
She bought a farm and restored its
stately old home near Upperville, VA.
The window treatments, draperies, and
cushion work for this project was all
done by none other than Janelle
Kincaid, wife of our ’62 classmate, Ross
Kincaid, who did the installlations.
Here’s one of the finished rooms
28
Everything produced on the farm is organic. Most of the animals are “rare breeds”.
Her Hunter’s Head restaurant nearby is the most authentic British style pub I’ve ever
experienced in America. The meats served there are from her farm.
Sandy Lerner knows a LOT about Jane Austen. She can expatiate on the social
nuance of every different type of carriage mentioned in Austen’s books. From Austen,
her interest in women's writing broadened to take in the 10,000 to 15,000 novels
published by some 3,000 women from 1600 to 1830. With money now at her disposal,
she built up a library of 6,200 rare books and manuscripts. She said, "All of a sudden,
Jane Austen made a whole lot more sense. It wasn't like she'd dropped in from outer
space with six of the best novels in the English language and left. You could see her in
the context of things she'd read."
In 1992 Lerner purchased and started a restoration of Chawton House, in the English
county of Hampshire which was once owned by Jane Austen’s brother, Edward Austen
Knight. It opened in 2003 as the Centre for the Study of Early Women's Writing, 16001830. Its library has a collection of over 9,000 books, mainly related to the genre of
women’s writings, and many original manuscripts. The Library works in partnership with
the University of Southampton, providing an important resource for the university's MA
in 18th Century Study. Lerner was awarded an honorary doctorate by Southampton in
recognition of this work
In November 2011, she published a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
titled Second Impressions using the pen name of Ava Farmer (for "a Virginia farmer").
She plans to make it into a movie. Let’s watch for it.
THIS FILM SCREENED ---- last week at Reston’s
Nature Center. It is excellent and I encourage
everyone to see it when you can. It takes you to the
places where the inexpensive garments we buy, and
their components, are made.
As you can guess, the effects on the people who
produce the clothing is not a pretty scene. Millions
of good people are exploited so a few others can get
rich. Think of things like water pollution, soil pollution, pesticide contamination and their impacts on
our brothers and sisters in poor countries.
The film got started with funding raised in a
Kickstarter campaign after the Bangladesh factory
29
named Rana Plaza toppled, killing over a THOUSAND workers. I felt the film ought to
have included a part on the role of governments to control what happens in their
countries to protect their citizens. You can personally help the situation by purchasing
one less shirt or pair of pants this year.
SONG OF THE WEEK ---- It is Syncopated Clock, by Leroy Anderson. I have a vivid
childhood memory that involves this song. I was at a church-sponsored children’s event
on a sunny day in a park in Santa Rosa. There was a choreographed waltz demonstration that the Stuck twins (Susanne and Diane VHS ’61) danced in. They were
wearing identical dresses with small red and white stripes. I thought they were pretty.
Hear this tune again right now, right here!

Twelfth grade reading lists stretched out
as endless as the sentences we diagrammed,
as orderly as the outlines for our senior essays—
“Humanism in England in the Fourteenth Century”
I think I wrote about, cobbling facts together
about Erasmus and the Church, forgetting
those were plague years, and Henry David
Thoreau’s pithy quotes, marching to a different
drummer, hooked me for a solitary ramble
of Walden, not knowing he’d dined every night
with Emerson and Alcott; and our teacher
always turned to us with hope, searching
for some sign that we’d found a spark,
an engaged liveliness, in all those endless
marching words—her eyes lit up, her thin hair
frizzed, her faith in us fixed, misplaced,
stirring fugitive regret in our adolescent gaze,
preoccupied with who to ask to the Swankette Ball
and who to sit with at the Friday football game
(whom, she’d certainly have made us say).

A

Berkeley, the Sixties and Me, Part 13 … GET ON YOUR MARK,
GET SET, RIOT!
Okay, okay, break it up already!
E
ver smash a cantaloupe? It makes a real ugly sound.
A billy club makes that sound when smashing a skull,
especially if the club is wielded by a seriously mean
cop.
I first heard those cranial chords in May 1965 when all hell broke loose on Telegraph
Avenue. I heard it resonating from the cranium of a poor, confused fellow who just
happened to be standing behind me and Bobby Seale … a classic case of being in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
You could say the guy was a half-step slow, but I think it was confusion. You see, when
a busy, major street is blockaded for five or so blocks, street lights are doused, cops
stand with weapons scanning the street from the rooftops, hundreds of cops in assault
gear assemble on the street, and sidewalks teem with protestors ready for a rumble …
that’s when confusion itself becomes the organizing principal of the day.
Nothing was normal, and the melodrama unfolding in front of my eyes gave my brain
such a vast array of sensory information that it slowed its task of assimilating and
sorting through all of it. You really couldn’t fault anyone for being confused .
31
Not only that. I stood next to Mr. Big Big Trouble … one Bobby Seale, co-founder of a
militant social group called The Black Panthers. This relatively new, infamously strident,
semi-terrorist bunch of radicalized separatists had become a target of the Oakland cops
… with Mr. Seale at its bullseye.
OPD’s view of Bobby Seale
Of course some of the group’s fund raising activities had been
characterized as racketeering which made the group subject to
some deserved special scrutiny. But, all that legal stuff aside, there
was one universal rule in the East Bay … “Avoid the attention
of Oakland cops at all costs.” They even had a special nickname for
them, the Blue Meanies (after the blue, badge-less jump suits they
wore into battle, later made infamous by their depiction in an animated Beatle
movie called “Yellow Submarine”). It was a name they’d repeatedly earned.
All of this made standing next to Mr. Seale himself uncomfortable in a very bad way …
though it greatly simplified my thinking, that is to say I narrowed it all down to just two
basics: starting and foot speed. Unsurprisingly these turned out to be Mr. Seale’s
thoughts as well, so that when the signal whistles blew and all hell to broke loose we
instantaneously started to dodge and weave like weasels caught in a hen house.
When the Meanies charged, swinging their clubs like Cubans with machetes in a sugar
cane field, the blow intended for Mr. Seale’s skull struck the cranium of that unfortunate
chap standing just behind us, which produced that memorable dull, cantaloupesmashing-on-a-big-rock chord. Ugly!
Ike was right !
It really was a dumb idea!
As I made my way through the chaos and confusion
unfolding all around, blinded by a large, expanding
envelope of tear gas, I lost some of my enthusiasm for supporting
those French students and actually started to debate whether it was worth all the
bother. And if the damned riot hadn’t been ignited by open and flagrant dissembling by
the authorities in charge, I would have had little sympathy or stomach for any of it.
But there you have it, a young man filled with ideological sensitivities and beliefs that
spontaneously ignite into whole-body passions and drive him into situations where,
32
when he finally looks up and pays attention, make him think “what in the hell am I
doing?”
And so it was with me as I ran up Channing Way to escape that chaos below, one that
would engulf Berkeley for two more years with tear gas, activists, cops, the world press,
protestors and the California National Guard all playing their parts. That afternoon
marked the beginning of violent protests that quickly mutated into a revolt
against military involvement in what President Eisenhower called a really dumb idea ….
a civil war ten thousand miles across an ocean in a tropical jungle.
He was right … dead right. Vietnam was not only a dumb idea, it was an unforgivably
tragic chapter in our national life.

After his exam the doctor asked the elderly man: "You appear to be in good
health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?"
"In fact, I do," said the old man. "After I have sex with my wife, I am
usually cold and chilly, and then, after we have sexthe second time, I am
usually hot and sweaty."
Later, after examining the man's elderly wife, the doctor said to her: "Your
husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold and chilly
after having sex with you the first time, and then hot and sweaty after the
second time. Do you know why?"
"Oh that crazy old coot," she replied. "That's because the first time is

Dear Harry,
My name is Jim Danley. A cousin of mine forwarded
to me the article that was written in her high school weekly newsletter regarding the
CORCORAN family. I am writing in hopes that you might forward my information to Jim
Barth. I am trying to piece together the CORCORAN family.
My maternal uncle was Edward William Corcoran. While the California birth index has
his name as William E. Corcoran (b. 25 Jan 1911 in San Francisco, CA) the California
death index has his name as Edward W. Corcoran (d. 24 Oct 1990 in Vallejo, CA). I
35
don’t know if he had his name officially changed, but I only knew him as Edward William
Corcoran. He married my mother’s sister, Dorothy Lee Walker.
He was the son of William Edward Corcoran (1871-1955) and Mary L. Connolly
(c.1876-1928). I have that William Edward Corcoran was the son of Patrick Corcoran
(1823-1888) and Mary Elizabeth Williams (1832-1913). Patrick Corcoran and his wife
had 10 children. Two other sons were named John Simon Corcoran and Daniel
Corcoran.
My uncle and his grandfather are buried in Saint Vincent’s Cemetery in Vallejo. There
is also a Daniel Corcoran (1833-1903) and his wife, Margaret Barrett Corcoran (?-1903)
buried in Saint Vincent’s Cemetery (per FindAGrave.com).
Since Patrick Corcoran has a son named Daniel, I am wondering if the Daniel Corcoran
who is buried in Saint Vincent’s Cemetery might have been a brother of Patrick
Corcoran’s. It is worth noting that both Patrick Corcoran and Daniel Corcoran were
born in County Cork, Ireland.
I further wonder if this Daniel Corcoran is the Daniel Corcoran who, along with his
brother, Simon Corcoran, bought the two Spanish Land Grants in 1887.

It's really great to see old friends in my yearbooks, and I fondly remember the friendship
that Phil Lang and I had developed over one school year. Phil, was your sister named
Nancy?
If you still have your '64 yearbook, Phil, you're on p. 16 of the Papoose Path. (How unPC) Well, on the opposite page is a photo of a Projector Club kid wheeling a film projector down one of the many halls, which reminded me of one of my colleagues, Mike
Winter, A Cal grad, who had ordered an educational film to be shown in his class. The
Film Club set him up.... putting a much smaller take up reel to receive the much larger
film, and then left the room waiting for Mr. Winter to show his film at his pleasure. Said
film ended up all over the floor. (They didn't teach AV@UC) [a poem of my own]
We had a pretty well-rounded Faculty, but for one GREAT short-coming; i.e. lack of
color. At the time, 1964, I didn't notice a thing. We were almost all white, with the
exception of two African American women; Billie Johnson, English Teacher, and Lesper
Ray, Physical Ed.

We could get down a bit. Check The Year of the

A few weeks ago, Frank Darling (HH66), wrote to
remind us about the noble and tragic history of the
iconic WWII heavy cruiser, USS Indianapolis. This is
a ship whose west coast port was Mare Island. The Indy visited MI for overhaul and
refitting several times during the war. My father, a civilian outside machinist, worked on
the Indy on more than one of those occasions, including her final visit before that
historic and fatal mission in 1945.
It may be of interest to Vallejoans that on April 4 and 5 the Mare Island Naval Shipyard
Museum will be showing the new documentary, USS Indianapolis, The Legacy. This is
NOT - repeat NOT - the recent dreadful bomb, USS Indianapolis, Men of Courage.
Instead, it is a labor of love involving some of the survivors, rescue personnel and
family, some of whom are expected to attend. The producer, Sarah Vladic, will also be
on hand. I learned about this from the Farragut’s Press, the museum’s newsletter.
Tickets are available by calling the museum at 707-557-4646 or 707-280-5642.
I wish I could be there for this, but will be happy to see it at the GI Film Festival in the
DC area over the Memorial Day weekend.

Hi Harry.
Last December, was the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, by the Imperial
Japanese Navy. But the first shots fired by the United States in World War II, were by
the US Navy. Actually, by the USS Ward (DD-139), that was on patrol at the entrance
to Pearl Harbor, early in the morning of December 7, 1941. The Ward at this time was
commanded by Lieutenant Commander William W. Outerbridge, with the rest of the
crew comprised of Minnesota Navy reservist. At about 4:00 AM, the Ward was advised
by the USS Condor, a minesweeper, that they had sighted a periscope in the area. The
37
Ward went on full alert and began a search. At about 6:30 AM the Ward saw a
periscope tailing a U.S. cargo ship, in an attempt to enter Pearl Harbor, behind the
cargo ship. The Ward went into full attack mode and fired from its 4 inch/50 Caliber
deck guns, first from turret 1 (that missed) and then from turret 3, that hit the conning
tower of a Ko-hyoteki class Japanese two-man submarine, then attacked with depth
charges, and eventually sunk the submarine. The Navy brass never gave the Ward
the right credit, until researchers from the University of Hawaii, found the submarine in
1,200 feet of water, about 3 miles from the Pearl Harbor entrance.
After the Pearl Harbor attack, the Ward was sent to the West Coast for conversion to a
high speed, fast attack transport and re-designated APD-16, after the deck turret guns
were removed and replaced with newer armament. She was then transferred to the
Southwest Pacific for duties and assaults that included Cape Gloucester, Biak and
Morotai, to name a few.
On December 7, 1944, three years to the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, she was
assigned to the landings at Ormoc Bay, Philippines, when she was hit amidships by a
kamikaze bomber. The crew fought the fire, to no avail, and the Ward had to be scuttlesunk by gunfire from USS O’Brien (DD-725). The O’Brien now was commanded by the
same William W. Outerbridge, that was the Ward’s commanding officer during the Pearl
Harbor attack.
So, you might ask why this ship of all the ships that fought in World War II, holds any
interest to the MU. Well, this ship was built at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, during
World War 1. It was built in a record setting time of 17.5 days, with its keel-laying on
May 15, 1918 and its launching on June 1, 1918. So, some of our grandparents, and
great uncles/aunts of VHS graduates probably worked on this ship, the first US ship to
fire the first shots of World War II!
Oh, and if you are ever in the State
Capitol of St. Paul, Minnesota, you can
view the No. 3 Turret of the USS Ward,
because it is there as a monument.

Plucked from the Headlines
The worse thing I ever did when I was 14 years old was
flunk Algebra.
CLEVELAND, Ohio- A massive crime spree was uncovered and
prosecutors say the ringleader is just 14-years-old.
Three teens are facing a total of 133 charges. Prosecutors say they
were involved in dozens of aggravated robberies and carjackings.
"In one case they robbed a mother in front of her three young children," said the Asst.
County Prosecutor. "They wanted to steal her car, they held her there at gun point,
they pulled her from the vehicle, and they pistol whipped her in front of her children. A
7-year-old child then got out of the vehicle and told the young offender don't kill my
mother. The young offender pulled the weapon on the 7-year-old and held him there
at gun point."5 PHO
39
TOS
The crimes were committed in just about a month. Prosecutors say the crime spree
started January 18th and ended February 20th, when arrests were made.
"I could tell they were babies but they had guns," said Jeanette Jordan, a manager at
Angie's Soul Cafe. "I am praying for them." Officials believe Jordan was one of
dozens of victims.
The teens are facing charges of aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
I certainly hope they are charged as adults. Your chances of
becoming a victim of a violent crime in Cleveland are 1 in 63. By
comparison, Oakland is 1 in 70 and Stockton is 1 in 74 and in Vallejo
your chance of being a victim of a violent crime is 1 in 134.

treatment this week.
There will be a memorial service at his home on Thursday,

Stages of Life
Sharon Gordon along with Suzie Schmutz, a few years ago began ending their email notes
with "live, laugh and love." A philosophy began trending culturally in the U.S.A, probably
41
originating for the most part among our generation. It portends what past generations have
gone through, 'stages of life.' We are no exception, going through these stages, but my
hope is we pass to one another this stage that's maybe unique to us now, to "live, laugh
and love."
We lose loved ones that are irreplaceable. But turn a corner and there stands someone,
maybe with inquisitive eyes, searching ours, looking to give what we've lost. And maybe,
just maybe, we find a bridge to cross, where we too can be filled and renewed, with some
proof that our stages of life blend together.

From: Linda Barns-Newton ‘65
George was voted prettiest eyes at VHS in
1963. I am pretty sure that George Telles
was Greek. He sang with the Devon-Aires
at VHS 63 with Robin Reich, Carl Staedler
and one other.

took care of Dennis the last year of his life and did a wonderful job and now both of my
brothers, Tom and Dennis, are gone.
From: Judy Cloud-Metcalf ‘62
I received the sad news, my brother-in-law, Dennis Metcalf, has died. He was from the

Dennis R. Ochs ‘67
Nov. 11, 1949 - Feb. 19, 2017
Dennis R. Ochs, 67, went to be with the Lord on Feb.
19, and was a life long Catholic with a strong sense
of faith. Dennis was born and raised in Vallejo. He
attended Vallejo schools and graduated from Vallejo
43
Senior High in 1967. Dennis also attended Vallejo and Solano Community colleges
receiving an A.S. in ship building and electronics repair.
The U.S. Navy was his employer, first at Mare Island from 1968 to 1991 then, at
Concord Naval Weapons Center. In the Spring of 1997, he went to work for the VA
(Veteran's Affairs), retiring in 2006 after working for more than 33 years for various
government services.
Baseball was an integral part of Dennis' life. He started playing Little league at age eight
and continued to be involved with baseball for the next four decades. Baseball was a
part of his life from playing to coaching. He enjoyed working with his players and even
now, former players and their parents would stop to say hello. Dennis also coached
basketball on and off for six years, but baseball was his first love.
Dennis enjoyed traveling, watching the SF Giants, the Warriors, and the 49ers.
Participating in the Catholic Church and its activities was very much part of his life.
Dennis was quick witted and always extended a helping hand to anyone who needed it.
Sarcasm was often used to make others listen and laugh. His smile lit up his face and
the faces around him. Dennis was a gentle and kind man.
He is survived by his loving partner, Lesley Squires; sister, Judith Giampaoli; and two
nieces, Marissa and Sabrina Giampaoli. He was preceded in death by his parents,
Robert and Beverley Ochs, and his brother-in-law, Mark Giampaoli.
A mass was held at St. Basil's Catholic Church on March 1, followed with the burial at
All Souls Cemetery.

A Word Among Friends
This past Thursday, Sally and I went to our son’s
The Loft Wine Bar and Restaurant in Benicia to
meet up with Jack and Pat Renfro for dinner. We
had a very enjoyable evening with my old coach as
we dined on some excellent filet mignon.
...
I’m now continuing to plant heirloom tomato seeds indoors and in
about 6 weeks they’ll be ready to transplant outside. As usual I’m
44
going to have lots of plants and will give away many of them. I’ll let
you gardeners know when I’m ready to do that.
… thanks for starting your Monday with me … hd

THE FINE PRINT
The Monday Update
Publisher/Editor: Harry Diavatis
Published: Weekly
First Edition: Oct. 26, 2004
Circulation: 1,592 subscribed
(est. readers 1700+)
The Monday Update was originally intended to serve as a newsletter for members of the VHS Class of ’62. Over a period
of time, members of companion classes (1960, ’61, ’63, and ’64) and from Hogan and St. Vincent’s, indicated an interest
and began participating. Today the Monday Update has a wide and varied range of readership ranging from 1940 and
into the new millenium. We also have several “guests” who have no direct affiliation with Vallejo, whatsoever, but are able
to relate to the era.. Anyone who has an interest in, or is nostalgic for, our era is welcomed to participate.
Back issues from as far back as 2007 are available on line at www.VHS62.com
To subscribe to the MU go to www.VHS62.com and click on the Link- Sign Up for Our Email Newsletter.”
OR go to: http://tinyurl.com/Mondayupdate
There is no charge for accessing the Update… just the expectation that subscribers will occasionally “contribute”
something to the overall effort, such as a personal update, archival pictures, news, memories, anecdotes, true
confessions etc… anything that may be somehow relevant or interesting to our readership as a whole.
The Editor reserved the right to print, delete, or edit contributions at his discretion and is solely responsible for the content
of the Update. If you send us an email and DO NOT want it published in the Update please be sure to state as much, and
we will respect your wishes. The MU respects your privacy. Personal information, including email addressess and phone
numbers, will not be given out without your permission.
The Monday Update is not financed by, nor does it necessarily reflect the opinions of: Vallejo High School; the VHS
Class of 1962; or the VHS ’62 Reunion Committee. (And it sure as hell doesn’t reflect the Vallejo School Board!)
