What a crazy life it has been since graduating from AHS in 1964.
I lived in Boston, NYC and had a rock band where we lived on a farm in New Hampshire for a year; Ventured on a Motorcycle all over the US and Canada ending up in San Francisco a few blocks from the Grateful Dead and Berkley for a time during the upheaval there and settled in LA in 1967 where I still reside.
My profession in TV Production has taken me all over the world and I still have that yearning to see new places, different cultures and meet new people.
To quote Jerry Garcia, "What a long strange trip it has been."
Playing competitive Volleyball and winning a slew of medals has been a large part of my life the last 20 years and I am blessed with good health so will continue. Looking forward to seeing you folks even though we haven't kept in touch much. Email me at vballer@roadrunner.com 213 610-9954. UPDATE July 2024; Still alive and kicking. Felling regret that I have not stayed in touch with classmates that were so connected in High School Would love to hear from people that remember being friends and if I do, will attend the 60th reunion. Richard Mooney, Peter Dormitser, Ray Slaughter, Gerry Sullivan, Judy Anderson, Arthur Spector, Pat Kelly ? please let me know if you would like to say hi at the Reunion and I will come. :)

I was walking home along Mass. Av. in the autumn haze hanging in the air, when a bus full of other kids stopped near me and several terrified children screamed and cried out, "The President is DEAD! Kennedy was shot "
My heart disintegrated and for reasons I couldn't explain, the pit of my stomach knotted up and I cried in fear and sorrow ... like so many others... I hastened my steps to return home, all the while hearing people scream and cry along the way.

I watched the show with my family on our 21" Black and White TV.
seeing/hearing them and the audience reaction turned my life upside down! I went from being a Folk music snob to a full fledged Beatles fan overnight ! I combed my hair down much to the dismay of my Music teacher who quipped, "with that hair style, you are coming on like a fruit"
In the following years their music and John Lennon's Philosophy of life formed the person I became and drove my values. (along with Star Trek) :)
