Jack B. Cooper Jr.
 
Spring '64
Even though I was an immature student my counselors still let me take college prep courses. Crazy but fun physics teacher Mr. Harvey. Meeting friends on the slope or going to Edy's at lunch. Fellow students of all colors and backgrounds. Most serious behavior issues were “bad” kids smoking (tobacco) in the restroom or drinking beer in the parking lot across the street.
Walnut Creek, California
Spent four years at Merritt getting two years of college before Uncle Sam drafted me. Worked as a gunsmith in spare time in Berkeley!? Lucky two years as infantry instructor at Ft Lewis made me a mature student. Graduated CSUH in ’74 BS Accounting. Married animal lover Susan Trunk in 1978 and she still loves me after 38 years. Retired as Chief Auditor after 31 years with Contra Costa County Auditor’s Office. Our family consists of a mother-in-law and five poodle mixes.
Enjoyed cafe racing until I ran into the front of a truck. Before getting old and a little overweight I enjoyed flying real airplanes and RC models. Sue and I spent many hours scuba diving in the Pacific and the Caribbean. I still enjoy fishing from our boat and occasional fishing trips to Alaska. Volunteer as a site coordinator for AARP Foundation Tax-Aide.
I welcome contact by anyone who thinks they remember me(-:

Preston Staley
Spring '64
Music in the Harmoneers and Concert Coral; Mrs. Small's latin classes, especially on the Ides of March. Hanging out with friends at lunch. Looking up books and articles about archaeology in the library.
Oakland, California
After graduating from BHS, I spent the next four years buring my candle at every end I could possibly find. Eventually, I received my BA anthropology from UC, Berkeley and then an MA from the University of Illinois, Urbana, where I specialized in sub-Saharan Pleistocene prehistory. Illinois is also where I met Romy, my partner in crime for life. After a whirlwind 17 year courtship, we married in 1991. Throughout the 1990s, we lived in Cincinnati. She had a appointment in the Center of Women's Studies at the University of Cincinnati; I was at the School of Public Health and then the National Institute for Occupational Health. One evening I happened to mention how I did not want to die in Cincinnati. Within a year we had returned to the Bay Area.
Travel seems to be our passion. We go abroad as much as possible. It is an amazing world, just begging to be seen. At least twice a year we cross the great water. Destinations include anywhere that seems interesting.
Travel, movies, reading books on history, Egypt and mysteries. Volunteering at the Anthropoology Museum, and auditing classes (no tests and term papers for me) in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at UC, Berkeley.
