Here's some ideas on how YOU can help us find our classmates:

Special thanks to Kim Simpson, Paul Bodine, & Michael Reed  from the class of '73 for their help!

Our #1 PRIORITY is to find as many of our 700+ classmates as possible, and invite them to join us at our reunion. We have found that our class has spread out over the 50 states and across the seven seas, and it is thrilling to locate each and every one and find out what they’ve been up to!

It’s almost like fast-forwarding the fun of the reunion itself. Re-connecting, exchanging "remember when?" e-mails, using our Campanile to put names with faces again, etc.

Want to join us?

You can start by going to our LOST BRUINS page and making sure you are not listed there. If you or anyone you have contact info for is listed it means we don't know how to reach you. You'll want to proceed to our Contact Us page to update our info.

Please contact us if you would like to help search for our classmates. In the past, all we had to help us find people were phone books, PacBell "Information" and information on other alums provided by people we’d already found. (This is still our greatest resource…if one person knows the whereabouts of three people, and two of those people know how to reach two more people, that’s eight classmates found!) We also sent mailings to last known addresses (10+ years old), a step that we’re going to take this time again, very soon.

Internet search techniques

Now the Internet affords everyone the opportunity of searching far and wide from the comfort of home or office with the expense of just a few keystrokes! Check out our Search Techniques page, and let us know if you have any other tips or cool search engines we could all use.

Check out our Class Directory page to see who we’ve already located and who we’re missing. You might even feel compelled to search for a block of names by choosing a letter of the alphabet to work on. Or think back to a group you were involved with in school (choir, theatre, water polo team, etc.), and try to locate all of those members.

If you don’t have the time to search for a large number of people, how about thinking back to school days and identifying a few who you would love to see or be in contact with again, and look for them? If you can find one or two long-lost friends, it will enrich your life. (We committee members and supporters can vouch for that!) Once you’ve found them, just drop us a note at using our "contact us" page filling in names, e-mail or street addresses, and phone numbers if you have them. All information is kept confidential.

Please join us in our quest to reach all members of the Class of ’83--and let them know they are remembered!
