    Well, you have quite the memory! About all I remember from the Cinerama Dome is watching Blue Water, White Death about 50 times and Play Misty for Me even more times. I also remember how people would light up during the scary parts and it was fun to scare them even more when I told them to put their cigarettes out. Oh, and getting fired. That's about it. Do you remember Debbie Lowande? She worked there too, and right now I'm visiting her in Walnut Creek. We are still best friends 40 years later!

    Well, thanks! Even all these years later, it's nice to know I was admired from not so far.

    Dear Robert --

    Are you related to Mark Zavala? He was in my class (1970) and I don't see him on this site anywhere. Since we are having our 40th class reunion in 2010 (July 24th is the tentative date), could you have him contact me AND head over to the Events link on hhsalum.org to contact Valerie? My brother graduated in your class (Darrow Bruck) and you probably remember him (he was Student Body President of the class in senior year (1972). I see we have another person in common: Roberta Grapperhaus, also a friend of my brother's and I knew her late brother through a friend of a friend of mine.

    Dear Robert,

    I am SO sad to hear this...what a shock! He was such a sweet, great guy and always a gentleman and, honestly, a very sensitive soul. Was he your only sibling or do you have other brothers and/or sisters? I'll let my brother know I've heard from you. If you feel so compelled, I posted a really good photo of him on my own page. I've been trying to get him to register and explained that he can control the ebb and flow of how much information about himself he wants to release or share or control sharing. Actually, I'll be seeing him in less than two months -- he's flying out for a week to visit my husband and I here in Boston as we have a sad mission to undertake with a private memorial service at Ellis Island for our late mother. But DB hasn't been out this way for many years (we're always coming West so we've spoiled him!). While I have not gone through what you have (losing a brother), knowing the deep bond my brother (actually brothers and a sister, the other set from a second marriage) and I have, it would be inconsolable for me. Thanks for letting me know and being in touch with me.

    Robert --
    I hope you don't mind that I wanted a small tribute paid to your late brother (see Obits section -- without getting into anything, I merely wanted to get his name recognized for the sweet guy he always was and the gentleman and good dance partner I remembered him as).
