Dear Classmates,

We have checked the roster and fortunately, we have no classmates who live north of San Francisco unless addresses have changed.

Unfortunately, Michael Pecherer(MHS '60) was not so lucky. Here's his post.

"Well, we got the bad news yesterday. The entire farm and vineyard were lost in the Redwood Valley fire. We still haven't been able to get anywhere near the property, but according to one neighbor, the fire went through in a matter of moments and there is nothing left standing. The farm house was very nice and is gone. The guest house, two barns, the pool house, fencing, irrigation systems, pump house, well and well house. Apparently the propane tank exploded. All of the farm equipment was destroyed. I am trying to be positive as we have reasonable but probably inadequate insurance. I don't know if I have the energy to rebuild. Anyway, I have received emails and texts from classmates who knew where my vineyard was located and I thank you all."

Michael

To Michael and everyone else who might be touched by recent ferocious fires, floods, rains, and winds, and other disasters, we all send you our hopes for better days ahead.

MHS ’61 60^th Reunion here we come, be ready.
