Hi, Nancy, Thank you, Class of 1978 Reunion Committee This is in response to your question in the 2018-3 issue of the Tiger Rag about Charles Phoenix’s year of graduation. My husband Rich Riley ’59 and we know Charles personally through our participation in the February 20, 2019 Disneyana Fan Club (a Disney collector’s group). We have met him several times and attended many, many of Dear Nancy, his shows, events and book signings. Thanks so much for all you do, and all your committee Charles was born in Upland in 1962.

Nancy, Yesterday I finished reading Issue 3, 2018 edition of the Tiger Rag Alumni Edition. Oh my, what a lot of good reading. Good reads about the airport, J.J. Newberry, etc. I’ve not lived in Ontario since August 1979. I do get back to town for reunions and often “tour” the old home town.

I attended the CHS Class of ‘68 reunion last October. These were the first “kids” I taught. I was the only teacher attending, all so very special. Long story short, I was doing my student teaching with Weaver Thornton’s Left: Jim Stokke in 1980 Fasti 3rd period class. Before Christmas vacation he went to a Right: Charles Phoenix, 2019 conference in Washington, DC, so I taught all his classes for 3 or 4 days. He died during the trip, and I became the teacher for his students. WOW!

February 16, 2019 By the way, the Alumni Association did a marvelous job with the campus tour and the Helms bakery truck. Dear CHSAA, Go Tigers. The CHS Class of 1978 held their 40-year reunion at La Bella Villa in Upland on October 6, 2018. We had gone Norm Naylor ’59 and former CHS social science teacher to the CHS football game the night before and some went to Happy Hour at the Elks Lodge in Ontario. We all had a great time.

Save the date, and plan to attend! A dinner at Vince’s is being planned for Thursday night (10/3) as a kick-off to reunion activities and a “Meet and Greet” the following day. A tour of the beautiful Chaffey campus and the Alumni Museum will take place on Saturday morning prior to the BIG reunion that evening.

A Facebook page is going to be created for the Class of ’59, and the link will be included on the website after it is officially set up. This social media will give our classmates an opportunity to indicate if they are planning to attend the reunion and to leave messages and post photos.
