I am thrilled with this website. It brings back a lot of wonderful memories, and fond wishes for past friends. I enjoy this page much more than Classmates.

Thank you for all of the work you put into it. I am sorry to not be attending our 30th, but will have made two trips to Yakima in 2008 and can't squeeze a third in at this time. Take lots of pictures and post them for those of us not lucky enough to attend.

I look forward to the reunion and catching up on what everyone has been up to the past 10 or so years! Spread the word to those who you see haven't posted any info yet as we still need to find people. If anyone would like to help with putting a book together (if you use the computer a lot this would be a great way of helping us out!) Thanks Tam

YAKIMA - Leonetta "Pinkie" York, 42, of Yakima passed away from pancreatic cancer at home on March 6, 2003 in her husband's arms. With love surrounding her just the way she wanted.

Pinkie was born in Denver, Colorado on October 5, 1960 to Leon and Avis McVeigh. Her family moved to West Valley in 1969 where she graduated from West Valley High School in 1978. In 1979, Pinkie married Joe Rainier and even though that marriage ended in 1986 they had two great daughters (Sarah and Jayme). On April 12, 1997 Pinkie married the love of her life, Max York, and even though her life ended too soon, they had a loving and caring relationship full of joy and laughter.

Suzanne Beaulaurier was my best friend since we met in sophomore English. We were both new to WV and hit it off right away. She was a very warm and wonderful person.

As her best friend I would like to honor her on this website and at the reunion.

If anyone has any pictures of her they could share or a memory or story, please share with me. My email is conklinjulie@yahoo.com.

To everyone who came to the reunion it was a pleasure to visit and get caught up with classmates.

If you didnt come to the reunion you missed out.
Please try to make the next one. We missed you.

Thanks to all that worked on making our reunion a success.

Wow! What a great time we all had and thank you sooooooo much to those that worked so hard. It was amazing to see the years melt away as we reconnected with the good old days.

Look forward to seeing you all again in 5! TC

I feel like I have relived a life I lost over the years in 3 days and wishing I had been more part of the festive activities which occurred away from West Valley. So many memories coming back and some just not there. I still cannot remember half of my 8th grade graduation class. A fact of age. Something we all need to be aware of and make a concerted effort to attend in 2013. Start saving now, start planning, make a mini vacation out of it. Whatever it takes for age will be a factor that we cannot ignore. It was great being a part of the planning conmmittee and creating those pesky name badges with our forgotten youthfulness. I don't know about the rest of you but I am staying 38 as long as I can. Golfing here I come.
