AN OPEN LETTER TO MY CLASSMATES......

I'm an EXTREMELY PRIVATE person - and always have been.

I decided to post personal questions in a public forum, because I exhausted my options for private answers.

I've hit a brick wall in my quest to get answers about our class.

I also became a hypocrite by joining INSTAGRAM - to contact a classmate. I promised myself I would never join another 'social network' after my disastrous experiences on 'MY SPACE' - aka PSYCHO SPACE. Well, I broke that promise.

QUESTIONS FOR MY CLASSMATES.....

This is my way of verifying that you actually attended our class.

Do you remember what our entire class did, that resulted in Walt getting in trouble? He yelled at all of us for at least five minutes.

Do you remember what one of our classmates did to a poster? That poster was given to Walt by someone special to him - he yelled at our class after he saw it.

Do you remember one of our classmates being in the hospital, due to a collapsed lung? Who was that person?

Do you remember what Walt gave all of us after he returned from the GUTENBERG FESTIVAL?

Do you remember which one of us had their design chosen for the CAREER EXPO POSTER?

Do you remember the CLASS PHOTO Walt took? Where did he take the photo?... Also, did any of you get a copy of it?

CLASS LIST.... Please post any information you have in my comment section. If you do NOT want the info made public, just tell me.

You can also leave your email, or INSTAGRAM link ( if you have an instagram account ). Once again, I will NOT make it public, unless you give me permission to do so.

An article from a newspaper called the VC STAR, mentions a "Walt Metcalf". Do any of you know, if this is our Walt? See quotes below.....

"Ventura County Star"

"Camarillo couple find parts from airplane that crashed in 1944"

"By John Mitchell"

"March 27, 2006"

"On March 16, Macha, accompanied by Tom Maloney, an Orange County park ranger, returned to the Camarillo Heights crash area. Also on site was Walt Metcalf, 75, of the Commemorative Air Force."

"While we were there, we found the left engine a short distance away from the first one," Metcalf said."

QUESTIONS FOR ANYONE THAT CAN ANSWER THEM......

Years ago, I remember reading an online article about some of the ROP CLASSROOMS BURNING DOWN. Do you have any details about that?

How many different courses were taught during the 1980/1981 school year?

When did the completely new campus open?

I'm starting to run out of ideas for finding my classmates. I can NOT afford to pay for information, and do NOT want to join any other 'social networks' - INSTAGRAM is bad enough. I find it confusing to use. INSTAGRAM'S main focus is visual gratification, NOT written communication.

Quote below is from the movie MAGNOLIA.....

"We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us"

RUNNING OUT OF GAS.....

You know that feeling, when you're running low on fuel, and don't know if you're going to make it to a gas station?... Well, that's how I feel.

Earlier this year, I found someone from my class ( ninety-nine percent sure ). She has an Instagram account, but I do NOT want to join anything associated with FACEBOOK. Plus, I'm NOT good with digital gadgets.

I sent her a message via one of her business websites.

As I write this, it's been approximately two weeks since I've sent that email. I've received no reply, or acknowledgment of my message.

This is such an insane time we're all living through. I don't know if she simply hasn't had time to respond, or that my email hasn't been forwarded to her.

The pessimist in me, feels my email may have been deleted by the webmaster. Or maybe, she doesn't want to hear from me. Either way, I would prefer to know.

All I know for certain, is that I feel deeply hurt by the lack of a response.

She is one of my favorite persons from my ROP class. That class was one of the few good experiences I had during my school years.

This quest means a lot to me, for many reasons. I also need answers to questions I have.

To anyone that attended ROP at Camarillo Airport, during the 1980/1981 school year, I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Good riddance to 2020 and the last five years......
