Burbank High 1966

In honor of our dearly departed classmates -

In June of 1966, the BHS Class of '66 gathered at the Starlight Bowl for our high school graduation. After "walking the stage" and receiving our diplomas, many boarded busses bound for Grad Night at Disneyland. Others went home and contemplated what might come next. Would we ever see our high school friends again or would we all drift away in pursuit of college or careers? In 1966, there was no email, internet or social media. The best that most of us could do was to keep in touch with a few good friends.

As the decades flew by, high school drifted into memories, but few of us remember a tenth or a twenty-fifth class reunion. Did those events even happen? In 2008, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Burbank High School, many attended the event and met old friends again at the Class of 1966 table. By 2011, we had a "proper" class reunion weekend, culminating with a celebration at the Castaway Restaurant. With help from social media, hundreds of us attended the happy event.

Over those years, we occasionally heard about the death of a classmate. Always, it was sad, poignant and and led to reflections about our own mortality. With that in mind, the Reunion Committee created three lists of BHS '66 classmates. First was the BHS Class of '66 Roster of Names, which includes all known classmates, including the deceased. Second was the BHS Class of '66 "Missing" List, including those for whom the committee had no current record. Third is the BHS Class of '66 "In Memoriam" List.

The "In Memoriam" link above offers only names and dates (if known) of our departed classmates. The list below is a new, more comprehensive tribute, which will include links to any known obituaries for our fondly remembered friends. If you spot any mistakes in this list or have links to other BHS '66 obituaries, please send an email via the Contact page.
