Legacy Journal: 50th Malin High School Reunion
Section:
Events & Meetings
Summary:
I will miss my 50th high school reunion this month. Some of the hearty remaining Malin Mustang Class of 1958 will be gathering for the event in the California border ag, railroading, lumber and Kingsley AF Base region of Klamath Country, Oregon.
Main:
Some of us left, others left and returned, others stayed, more than a few have passed on, or simply vanished. What endures is the power of place and the experience of coming of age in a “Heartland” community of significance and substance. Malin is a continuing presence inscribed in memory and recorded in fact. For me, the frozen memories have become even sweeter and more meaningful with the mellow passage of the years.
My first message to my classmates was a short and long forgotten high school graduation ceremony farewell address in the Mustang’s small gym in 1958. The second was a note send from Viet Nam in 1968 for the 10th anniversary gathering. The Fisk family with four kids made the Malin Community Park gathering in 1978. Now, in 2008, it is time for an update.
After four years in Eugene, four years in Portland, a year in Los Angeles two years in the U.S.Army, four years at UCSF, thirty years in Santa Rosa, CA, and four years in Davis, CA, I am retired and now live in Brighton, NY near Rochester in the western Lake Ontario region of the Empire State and near the best of attractions——two young bright, beautiful, active, healthy and loving granddaughters.
The Eire Canal, Eastman Kodak, Xerox, the University of Rochester, and the Eastman School of Music are still past of the fabric of Monroe County. Biking the canal towpath, touring the old Eastman Home and Gallery, attending concerts and recitals, participating in Rochester Institute of Technology- Athenium-Osher Lifelong Learning Institute classes and daily workouts with a lap swimming emphasis are currently part of the routine.
Internet, Information and Instructional Technology are at the core of my weekly volunteer contributions at several local senior activity services including a health and exercise emphasis . And, what is not to like about Digital Photography, image editing, and Web Publishing. It is a great way to keep up with friends and family. The latter group includes sisters Mary Jayne in Talent, and Kathy in Eugene; kids include Erika Lindsey at the URSM medical center, Tanya Ashley of Cottage Grove, Tiffany Danielle of Hawaii, and Damon Marshall of San Francisco.
Meanwhile, Malin memories, friends, mentors, and rites of passage continue to sustain, refresh, and inspire me daily.
Fondly.
Doug Fisk
