Happy Birthday! I too want to thank you, and everyone else, for working so hard to have this website remain up. It is trully appreciated. We look forward to our 60th! As a radio slogan of our youth stated: "Good health to all from Rexall." Stay safe.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Charles Cabrera. I met Chuck the first week of our 7th grade at Piedmont Junior High in September 1956. We remained good friends for over thirty years. We enjoyed many things together including our extensive travels in Europe. We both liked golf, and we played often. We also liked pizza, and many a meal was taken at our favorite pizzeria, Pizza Haven, which was next to the UC campus. Kingfish Pub was often visited as well, and it was a favorite place for him. Many a glass of beer was enjoyed there. In 1968, Chuck was my best man at my wedding to Carole Tait; this is now some 51 years ago as we celebrate that anniversary next week. We lost contact with each other in the early 1990s as I was working for Standard and Poor's and living in Europe. This is sad, but I do have all those many other years with a very special and good friend.
In his obituary, it was stated that he "was a gentleman out of central casting, known for his kindness to everyone he encountered." I totally agree. It also serves as a very good and lasting epitaph. RIP Chuck.

I too fondly remember Nancy; she was always a gracious and caring person. Darrol Stanley
