Oh, and [The Face Book](http://thefacebook.com) might interest some of you. It’s mostly for colleges, but you can also search for people from your high school. The site was launched earlier this year and it’s expanding rapidly. I find it much more elegant than Classmates (no fees either - full functionality is free).

Thanks! 😃

You’re one of the few that gets it.

Regarding your username: Uh, you probably really are crazy, and um, if you’re like me, you struggle daily , hopelessly longing to be completely sane and rational just like all the other…uhhh…three sane and normalpeople on Earth. 😛

University High School, Los Angeles, 1975.

I’m surprised how many University High Schools there are. Ours got the name in 1930 because student teachers from UCLA would do their apprentice teaching there. Before that it had been known as Warren G. Harding HS, but the name was changed following the Harding scandals.

My brother’s dad went to Brewster, but I think he was class of 73 or something… Right around the time Laura Brannigan was there, I guess.
