Why is it that most of the people involved with the reunion plannings either benefit from the reunion or will benefit in the future from advertising?...for example:  party planners, bar owners, boat owners, band leaders, caterers, etc...just saying...good for you...

Going down memory lane.  This reunion will be awesome.  So let\'s see how life is treating all my class of "74" alumni.  We\'ve survived!

I am not on the 1967 class list!!!!!

 Wishing All Mark Keppel Alumni a Happy & Blessed 2013!

Hey guys been a while sitting here having a beer with Simon from Class of 81 looking at what he missed at the reunion. Hey Larry and Ave I see you guys are still at it. Is there still space for Vegas? Havent been on the site for a while but hey its like a soap opera you stop watching for a month and still pick up where you left off!! Kidding lol

Help!! I need a roommate(s) for Vegas!! I won't be able to go if I can't find someone and I reeeeeeeeeelllly want to go! e-mail me if interested, thanks!!!

Hello everyone! For some reason, I can't sign in on the guestbook on my computer so I'm borrowing my nephew's.......so I can finally catch up with everyone......HAPPY 25TH CLASS OF '82!!!!!! And to all my Vegas friends......I can't remember ever having such a good time in Vegas......it must have been because of all of you!!......I love you guys!!! VEGAS 08!!!! CHI CHI......WHERE'S MY DRINK!?!?!

On this 6th Anniversary of foreign terrorist’s attacks on our domestic soil...may we all remember all the Men and Women that have fought for the Freedoms those terrorists were determined to destroy. Never Forget our many Soldiers who continue to fight for democracy throughout the world. Let us also remember and say a prayer to the innocent victims from our great country - United States of America and the many countries represented that day in the WTC Towers, Pentagon and United 93...as Todd Beamer bravely stated that day "Let's Roll"…forever and ever Amen! God Bless America and Us All.

I was asked to try to reach out to Diane Fish class of 79 and hopefully connect her with a friend who's trying to re-connect with her. If anyone knows how to get in touch or maybe if she browes this website, she can contact Anna Ledesma @ roychem@earthlink.net I know Ahna would appreciate it. Thanks!

It's important that we not forget the men and women who bravely protect this country and just as important that we not take any of the freedom's we have lightly. When given the opportunity to let someone know what they mean to us, tell them so. What happened 6 years ago is proof that it can all change in an instant. So today, on a day that effected each and everyone of us, take a moment to say a prayer for those lives lost and a prayer for Peace. We'll never forget, God Bless you all.

Well, it's the month of September. Just stopping by wishing all the birthday grown Adults(Alumnis) with my warm greetings. "Happy Birthday", May this special day fulfills you with many blessings from your love ones'. Although, it's my birthday too on the 17th, I am ecstatic that another year to celebrate of ???. God bless birthday Alumnis!!! Enjoy, don't drink-n-drive while having a blast of the evening. Take Care. Hope is well with you guys.. Gracie

Hi there, This is Claudia Albitre class of 80. My married name is now Claudia Nessary My best Buddy as a freshmen was Ladha Kreng, we hung out with Roxie Nishimura, Robbie,Yvette, Amparo, Will Schuk, Nini, and they were good times <3  I also knew Ed Tejeda, Bobby Dominguez, Orlando Caruso, Rocio Limon,  and so many others. I moved away and did not graduate with my friends from MKHS but would love to get in touch with any of them. Especially Ladha. so, send me an email if you are out there Go AZTECS!

Looking forward to yet another fun time with New and Old friends. Since the start of FB, so many of our Alumni have gotten back in touch and have regular get togethers, you have to get on board and join us. This reunion will no doubt be fun. Looking forward to seeing so many of you.

Hi fellow Keppelites, it's been a long time since I have traded words with my old classmates, "if they are still living"  

Just curious...any of you keppelites live in Austin Texas?

Hey Desiree I took those pictures and I even censored the bad(naughty) ones. LOL Tell your Hubby we know he really enjoyed being the only man around all of us women. Just look at the size of his smile in all those pictures. LMAO I had a great time with you guys remembering all the stupid crazy things we did growing up. Some of those storys need to be left in the past. LOL

I'm with Mark about more activity with alumni from the 70's ...I know those were crazy years, but there have got to more survivors out there somewhere! If you are a survivor...stand up and be counted!!! I am grateful to my sister and this site for having found Donna Pulido-Rhoads. She was and still is a special person to me.

Thanks Rick for the boat trip. Thanks Malena for bringing up so many memories! were we crazy or what? It was great seeing everyone again. Renee you are awsome that is all I have to say. Ave what a great person with a kind heart thanks for all the hard work. But whom ever took the pictures you should have gotten my good side. oh my gosh. can someone delete those. lol Karen, it was so great catching up. Martha thanks for dealing with the Hubby. Malena I regret not flashing you out the sunroof. I only show I have matured. Next time baby!

Hey girls, I have an offer for my own private speedo dance. Dont be jealous!!Who wants in? I promise the guy is a hottie in tights. Sounds like a good reason for a party at my house. I cant wait!! What happens there stays there. LOL

For those inquiring minds, ha ha, there are 13 Lomeli's (7 girls / 6 boys) and we all graduated from MKHS !! (1961 to 1982) Thanks to all the classmates who are putting this reunion together, I'm sure it's going to be a Blast !! Oh and only 3 of us are attending so no need for another ballroom, that was just way too funny !! How about having the next reunion in VEGAS !!

CORRECTION!! On photo album powder puff 81' pictured, it should be Tony Lomeli that Frank Guzman is setting on his shoulders, NOT Tom Griffen.

My last song requests... "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate and "Shattered" by The Rolling Stones

Hey, does anyone know what happen to my class of 84 girlfriends? Tina Solorio, Denise Chavez, Connie Vasquez, Yvette Olivarri, Lily Ramos, Pat Ortega, Katherine De La Rosa, Jackie Cohen, Sonia Flores, Rose Espinoza (ESPI), Angie Medina, Sylvia Limon, Maria Palestino, Maria Barbosa?Some of you also attended Garvey with me! I do not see you on the list of attendees for the reunion. I do see Javier Melendez(Javi),looking foward to seeing you there!

Thank you sis, the check is in the mail. LOL I'll be thinking of you while i play your song.

Hi Kim, I still keep in contact with Denise Chavez. She lives in Whittier and works at the Costco in Montebello. I told her about the reunion, but she said she didn't go her last two years at Keppel and didn't think she'd know anybody there. Boy, is she wrong. She's doing good though. See Ya... David Miranda "82"

wow. thanks ave and the reunion committee for such a great party! it was so awesome to reunite with so many keppelites. thanks lori m for bringing the repetto photos. so many roadrunners there, repetto rocks! can't wait till the next event. take care- kim "79

O.k. Marie. I'll show up to the BBQ but I ain't jumpin' in no hot tub with Gary Porras i'll tell you that right now babe. LOL!!!

I remember the merry go round at the shoe store. I loved that store! Used to shop at Britt's with my mom and Newberry's. I moved away so I don't know what is there anymore. How about the little grocery store on Garvey with the pickle barrel?

am i the only pendejo who never had these Barnes Park Strips? I was hanging out too much with all the disco bisquits at El Loco's on Garvey and Atlantic i guess. I use to see your mom at Fazios Brigitte. Hows that for retro.

Hey Dave, I remember those disco parties at the stables in Rosemead or at the Pico Rivera Sports arena,and then going to El Loco's on Atlantic or to Tommy's in L.A. and buying beer across the street from the Rampart Police Divison, ohhh yeah!!!!

Hey what about the Monterey Park Play Days, those use to be fun, then there was the Halloween canival, that they would also have at Barnes Park. between all the school stuff and the stuff at Barnes Park, there always seemed to be lot's to do. Now do you all remember the first MPK Boys Club, it was in an old house across the street from city hall, before they moved into a nicer building, I think it was around 1970 or 1973.

In response to Mario Escalante's BBQ for the "guys - you know who you are"...I think the girls "we know who we are" should also be invited to the BBQ. I think it would be a blast but really who can host a BBQ that'll bring us all back together like in times past. Gary...still got the Hot Tub??? If it's possible, please count me in! Martha, Letty, Jabber's, Larry, Gary, Mario, Ralph...come on people, let's make this happen!

Marc, Kim, Stacia and Clarissa Molina from the I.E. say, "Hello!" Apologize to those special friends we couldn't keep in touch with in the past 20 years or so......our darling daughters have kept us soooo busy 24/7 w/fast-pitch softball and traveling around the U.S. on planes, trains, automobiles and not to mention on our last dimes and nickles. I guess all in the end it was worth it. One of the dd's got a full-ride scholarship to play in KY, @ MSU! Yeah, a NCAA Div.1 baller!!!!!!!!!!GO STACIA!!!!! See you all in Sept!

I taught and coached at Keppel from 1976 to 1981. I'd like to hear from any of the basketball players or track team members that played for me, or students that took either Spanish or French from me during that time. If enougn of you are attending, I will make a point to be there. Those days will always provide treasured memories for me as they shaped a large part of my life and inner being. Let me hear from you. I would love to be able to thank each of you in person for what working with such awesome young people taught me!

they say you cant go back in time but we did it, i feel like im going to the prom again what a great idea this was thanks to all the people who made it possible.

Barnes Park strips secret sauce........hhhhhmmmmm? I have been trying to figure that one out, too. My girls love chili, all kinds. To me, one sauce comes very close to that taste. And that is the yellow can or even the green can of El Patio chili sauce. It's the best tasting sauce so far that I have tried that has come close to it. I don't know? Try it. Tell me what you think.

Before it was Zody's it was Britt's.....anybody elses memory go that far back? How about Western Auto on the other side of the shopping center.......Jerry's shoes with the Merry-Go-Round in the back....or was that Gallenkamp?......

Yeah Ave, I knew the lady at the snack bar at Barns park. She told me the recipe, but i'm sorry I never did write it down. I know It was a very simple recipe. But I'll try to remember for you, just give me a little time to dwell on it, I'm sure it will come back to me. Yeah, we used to deliver hamburger patties there when my father had his meat market( Gold Medal Meats) right there on Garvey and Alhambra Ave right next door from 7-11. Hey also wanted to ask you, do you like Engligh Toffee. Yeah, I make it and it's the BOMB! I will send you some ok.

If anyone has pictures from Homecoming please send them to me or Ave so we can post them. Thanks!

This is the best site....

Sunday, november 12. at 11:30am we all have reservations at Charlie Browns in Rosemead for brunch. reservations are under Mark Keppel . I need a head count. (626) 322-4133. Hope to see ya there.

I remember Britt's. That was one end of the Valley cruise. Also, Pup'n' Taco and of course, Bob's Big Boy at the other end. Now those were the days; The So.Cal. Chevelles, The VanAddicts, the California Camino's; any old-timers out there still remember? If you had a hot car, I probably drew a picture of it. I was cruisin' from '74 to '78.

What can you say, Bruins baby, I was at the game, one of the best ones I've been to. I still don't have a voice. Not only did they stop the streak, no SC teams has ever beaten a UCLA team 8 in a row, and the best part is that the Bruins did not LET SC play the BCS championship game, instead we will let you play at the Rose Bowl, try and redeem yourselves SC, try not to lose againt Michigan. Go Bruins!!!!

you have to give USC all the credit in the world they lost their quarterback and running back still made a bid for the title cant be number one every year

Homecoming game this Friday? hmmm? Sounds like fun.Lets go show our support and MKHS Spirit.... I'm there. I hope to see some of you there too.
