So, what have you got to say for yourself? Post your comments, reminisces, or just say “hi” to someone you used to know!

Please enjoy the Bulletin Board -- have fun, take that walk down memory lane, get reacquainted and don't say anything about anybody you wouldn't want said about yourself (in public, anyway). Before you send anything, please review it to see whether it is respectful and responsible. The views on the Bulletin Board are those of the person who posted it and not the alumni of Edison or Edison High School as a whole, so we do not allow anonymous postings.

And remember, please, keep it clean!

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Wow!! 30 years! Hi to all from Teddy (Graden) Mangum and Madonna (Graden) Gionta both in Trabuco Canyon....Hi Bob Gundry, John Upp, where is John Ellis? Brett Bayless? Mark Pearson? We talk to Kim Paulson all the time. It would be great to see you in July.

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Hi Bob..so glad to hear from you. What are you doing in the windy city may I ask? Have been shooting emails right and left to John Upp. He sent a pic of him and his son Dillion...they are both gorgeous and really active in surfing...he has the scoop on a few of the gang and I am finding this "ability to communicate" via this website so awesome. Talked to Kimmy (Paulson) the other night. Trying to talk her into going to the reunion. She is in Colorado. Haven't seen her since my first daughter's first birthday party (10+ years) but we talk on the phone often. John Miller has done an awesome job of staying on top of this.

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Is anyone in contact with Tina Eskridge?

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Called Chimayos this evening and so far they have (2) two reservations for July 16th...mine and Tammy's. Warned them of the Edison Class of 1974 and they opened their book to reserve for July 16th. Let me know if you want me to help organize. Hi Bette Jo Botts..have you heard from Tina? So far we haven't heard from Brett or Cathy on this website. John Upp has the most details on the gang..Kim Paulson is planning on being there....stay in touch

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Oh My Gosh! Kenny Kaiden.....now that's a blast from the past! Hi Kenny from Teddy (Mangum) Graden, Madonna (Gionta) Graden and Kim Paulson. Teddy just walked in my door and I asked her "what is the first thing you remember about Kenny Kaiden?" and she said "He sold me his 1962 Chevy Nova for $65 with Astroturf on the dash....when ever I went to the gas station they would ask me if I needed my lawn trimmed"...Hope to see you at the reunion, I am sure we will have lots of old stories to tell.

Stay in touch!!!

Teddy and Donna

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Just looked back at the bulletin board and want to say Hi to Francine Richmond. Remember me? If not, think of working after school on 3rd Street in HB. We were doing telephone sales promoting the US Olympic Volleyball Team (they eventually won the Silver) and/or the Chamber of Commerce (Checkbook of Values) back then? That was a lifetime ago. Can't remember which team you worked on. Let me know if you remember. Are you going to the reunion? I remember you as if it were yesterday. I remember your Mom and Dad too! Would love to hear from you.

Madonna (Garaden) Gionta Hi Glenn

Thanks for the email .. Hopefully my email helped in resolving Teddy vs. Donna..we are different in most cases except we both graduated one year early so we are OFF by one year with those we know...You will find Teddy in the 1973 yearbook and should have been in the 1974 class... I am in the 1974 yearbook and should be in the 1975 class....

I look at this website daily and encourage anyone to participate... waz up Bette? John? Bob? Francine? Glenn? Greg? Casandra? Angeli? Cari, Kirk & Sherrie, Rhonda Theis???? Dave White.. do you know my buddy Garth Wise? One of the best Manufacturing Engineers I know,,,

Looking forward to chatting with all

Madonna (Graden) Gionta I remember Rick and Darrell..geez. what happened?
5/12/2004

Madonna (Graden) Gionta John Upp- don't get me started... Frankie Lieberman..what was the name of the red-head he hung out with... I am going back to Lebard Park... Mike Carter maybe... or the park where my love Vince Cole lived off of Hamilton..it has been so many years..remember Pat Smith and Sonja who we hung out with... they lived on the same street as Greg and Steve Smith.. and Rhonda too.. I am not one to remember this but this website has struck a memory chip in my wayward mind.
5/13/2004

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Yeah Glenn.. show the mug "before" AND "after". Do you have more face to kiss on the "after" pic? Hee! Hee! I remember your name, and I have a face in mind, but am not sure. Kat Majors, can we hear more from you? You seem so humble and unassuming. Both of you are responsible for bringing back memories and old friends that may stay in touch forever..and "forever" is not long from now!!!! Good Gawd we are almost 50!!!!
5/14/2004

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Kat, how is this website associated with the Edison classmates website you set up, if at all? You have been great in pulling this all together. I keep getting emails from classmates.com. Not sure if there is an association. It was so nice to hear more from you on the bulletin board..... I can't wait to meet you. Can I find you on classmates.com?

I would love to see your "now" pic..... better yet , I would love to meet you . You seem like an extraordinary woman.
5/15/2004

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Thanks Kat, I just joined Classmates.com and posted a current picture. This site is kewl! Hope to see more of you and your latest pics!!!

Oh Yeah! I withdraw my comments about Kat being quiet and unassuming...YOU DEVIL YOU!!!!

Madonna (Graden) Gionta Julie,
I remember you.
What a great stroll down memory lane. Those oily hot strips with the ketchup salsa, Brookhurst Beach, Life Guard Station 13... the Mesa of "Costa Mesa", We can add grunion hunting and does anyone remember snipe hunting in the SA riverbed? Yeah, I fell for it.

We could do what other sites do and make this as long and painful to read as possible, get a bunch of lawyers involved and find the most obscure English words possible, but why?
