Our Azusa Alumni Message Board

See the topics that interest you.

Established January 19, 2001 at DelphiForums.com, it ws a very successful and busy message board. After 10 years and 174,680 posts  the birth of Facebook drew people away and we have been dormant. Now with all the concern over Social Media privacy, we are reopening, why not give our original message board a try! Delphi's platform has many features to protect your privacy that we have implemented on our message board. 

It is a subject based design (FaceBook is person based). Posts are arranged by Topics. Don't like all the political stuff on on your Social Media feed? Ignore the "Politics" topic folder. Love politics? That's OK Too. 

Tired of some bozo from Timbuktu making rude comments to you? Our message board only has one public topic folder, clearly marked. The rest of the message board can only be seen by approved members.

The only thing we ask is to keep your posts in an appropriate topic folder, we can help with that, and to be respectful to each other.

 - It's free (or paid if you wish)Free vs. Paid Membership
 - It's hosted and moderated by Azusa Alumni.
 - Only approved members can read and post.
 - You pick what you read.

Ways to stay connected to AzusaAlumni

AzusaAlumni now has a FaceBook page! Follow us and don't miss a new post. The page does not replace any of the discussion groups, it's a place to see what's new on the website and maybe contribute to the information I have.

If you don't FaceBook, you can subscribe to to this site in the right hand column on any page of the website.

We have a new Instagram feed, however I live a few states away. I'll depend on other alumni to send me current pictures via text, private message, or email.

We have a new Twitter feed too!

We have a message board, it is different than other social media, and private. More information here.

We still have the newsletter. I won't spam you, I use it to notify classes of reunion info that is passed on to me by reunion reps.

I have set the website up like a blog, reunion reps can ask for an account and post information about their reunions on the website. The info can be easily shared via social media. Please email me if you are a rep and want an account.

I added commercials to the site to offset my hosting expenses. I try to keep a good balance between content and advertisements. The site is still hosed by me, not a third party. I get credit for the adds. Thank you in advance for supporting my advertisers.

I hope you enjoy all the changes. ~ Julie julie@azusaalumni.com

Yearbook Update

gb1

My program that held our yearbooks finally died. I'm reloading yearbooks, I only had 4 yearbooks stored on my hard drive, the rest (of what I have) are on CDs. I have a bunch of the 60's and maybe a few more in the rest of the years.

If you want to see a specific year reply to this post and I will check for that one first.

Thanks a bunch for all your support. ~ J

A visit with Judy

W e all went to visit Judy on Sunday at her new residence. She looks great....has red/brown hair, a new chair that is very fancy and is making new friends...of course. We gave her our email addresses and phone numbers etc. If you have her 909 cell number it is still active and she has a number at the new place too. She is for sure wishing for lots more company but says she is content!

Photo Album: Vegas 2003


We met up with Judy and John at the Buffet Friday night, plus 2 other Azusa Alumni from Judy and John's class. We were on good behavior, no food throwing etc., but that might be because Tim and Caryn didn't meet us until after dinner!

Roxanne, Dave, Ken, Nancy, Julie (taking photo), Damon, Tom, Yollie, Judy, & John

Matching Tattoos or GMTA

Julie, Caryn, & Roxanne all thought it would be fun to take a photo with all of their tattoos (or tittoos as some call them) and post them without their faces so the other Azusa Alumni members who visit the message board to guess who is who. "the boob contest". After several peoples guesses Santana Holcomb '74 guessed correct. If you are wondering what thier husbands think of this..... they took the photos!

Excalibur Tournament of Kings

When we first were booking our seats for the tremendous spectacle that is the Excalibur Tournament of Kings, we were 11 in number. The booking people told us we would be representing France. We objected strenuously, decided to all buy American flags and wave them in our section as we cheer. Then, as if by a miracle we added 2 more to our party's number. The show agents cancelled the first seats and gave us a new country to represent..one which most of us carry with us in our genes, Ireland!!
We were ecstatic to represent Ireland. Our group hooted, and hollered, and pounded on the tables with our fists when the glorious Irish king rode his Destrier onto the field of battle, the green and orange flag over his head rippling in the wind. (machine, wind machine, ok??) If our cries alone had been enough he would have won the tournament of champions...alas, it was in the script, our champion did not win through. But when the king of all kings needed our assistance our Irish lord was right there in the thick of battle, ready to lay down his life in defense of his country and the entire kingdom's freedom! At the end, all the good kings banded together to defeat Mordred, the evil spawn of good king Arthur...Mordred the evil and his warlock magician were vanquished, never to be seen again....
Or were they????

Yet another Wilson detour

Every road trip when Damon & Julie get behind the wheel an unplanned detour is a must, dubbed a 'Wilson Detour'. Saturday night was no exception, however Ken was driving. We took a "short cut" to the Excalibur that proved to be longer than taking the freeway. Then when we got to the Casino the parking was tight so we decided to use valet parking to save time only to see the 'Valet parking full' sign AFTER getting in line. The girls jumped out and went to the show while the guys worked to get out of line. When they finally managed to work that large Tahoe out of the line the Valet parking opened again, then they were told they would have to go to the end of the line since they did get out of line. So the just went and found a spot not too far to the back of the parking lot. After the show we found the Tahoe and headed for the Gold Coast. After several 'turn this way only' signs, dead ends, and closed roads we ended up back where we parked. Damon & Julie were giggling in the back seat, not at Ken's driving but at the realization that it was not their driving but their presence that causes this phenomenon! ~~~ Dave pointed out that we should have bought a squirrel.

Tim meets his match or twin children of different mothers?

>Dinner at the Gold Coast Cafe' Sunday night proved to be an entertaining event. Our Philippine waitress kept right up with Tim beat for beat. She had the whole table laughing, she even had Caryn wanting to bring her home. We should have gotten her name so we could find her next year and buy her a drink.

The Coats Twins Band

(Gabe Falcon, class of 80, is a drummer in this band) Sunday night those of us that survived the weekend went to The Roxy Lounge at Sam's Town. Gabe Falcon was playing there that night. We got to meet the band members and visited with Gabe. The guys did not want to dance but that did not stop the girls. Julie's mom even convinced our waitress to join us in the tattoo'd boob picture. We stayed for 3 sets and had a great time, drinking, dancing and visiting. On Tim's command we rushed the stage before we left.


We didn't see any migrating couches this year but Julie and her mom did see a dead bed on the side of the freeway on the way to Sam's Town. Vegas seems to have a wild furniture problem, maybe they are a protected species.

Here-here to all Azusa Alumni who couldn't be here and we hope you can make it next year.

What's with the couch you ask? Saturday Night we all meet at the Rio for dinner, watched the Marty Graw parade (Tim flashed his boobs to one of the guys and got me some beads) played some slots. Then all 8 of us piled in my burb and went to Fremont Street to see the light show and gamble some more. On the way back to the Rio Goldcoast we were cruising down the freeway, the SUV in the lane on my left slammed on his breaks, I slowed down then Lynette yelled from the back seat "COUCH!". There was a couch moving across the freeway heading into my lane. I missed it but I'm not sure if the guy next to me did. I said a bad word *blush*, that is just something you don't see every day. ~ Julie
