Jenny Ramsey My Mom saved some clippings of me from the Blue Knights and The Dance Club from high school. Here’s your 15 minutes of fame, so why not post them.

Pam Christensen Fogliani I remember when this pic was taken with Father D, your Mom and Rosalie. Have so many fond memories of your Mom. We played canasta every Tuesday night. Me, your mom, Gerry M and Rosalie. So much fun. Thanks for posting.
Robert Landucci Wow! Hi Pam. She kept this in her scrapbook. I sent the original to Rosalie awhile back. I remember Canasta, she always looked forward to it. Interesting game. Good to hear from you. You look great.

Who remembers anyone in this line up?
Christopher Segura I attended All Souls in the 70’s so this is before my time. I think it was Father Durkin when I was there.

Unknown, Unknown, Jim Cullen??, I think that’s me at number 4, (why else would my mother keep it and I always combed my hair), Unknown, Unknown, next to Monsignor,?? Did Jeanne Scott have a brother? If not, unknown on that one. Unknown next to Monsignor, Luis Ponce, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Fernando Ponce, Frank Mihelich, Rocky Thauberger and possibly Rory Salazar.

More throw back Thursday as we remember our old Junior High School – Southwood! The school is now known as the Adult School on Southwood Drive. Thanks to Eva Musante Castro for the share. Very cool, blast from the past! Mug that was sold the last year that Southwood Jr High existed. This photo brought about dozens of LIKES and comments below:

- Jose Chavez I’m not a stickler for political correctness, but If I was Native American, i would find the mascot name very offensive: Savages. Damn. Not if, I do find it offensive.
Everything South City Not to worry Jose Chavez,, good, bad, or indifferent, we all have a history. Welcome to South City’s!
Charles O’Neill-Desira I still have an old Southwood Savages, Blue, mini, cheerleader handheld blow horn.
Charles O’Neill-Desira BTW, everyone born in America is a native American.
Eva Musante to Castro Jose this is not meant to offend anyone, these pics, items, etc r just memories. I grow up in South City from 3rd grade til just a yr after high school n have so many GREAT memories living there n going to school at Los Cerritos, Southwood n South City. It was very sad to see Southwood close n we had been the last 8th grade class there, but the first 9th graders in high school…

Lots of memories shared when we displayed Landucci’s ’73 SSFHS football team photo:
Lynnette Fall Romero Seems like yesterday!
Jocelyn Cronin That is so awesome
Jocelyn Cronin Gordon Miller, Butchy, Jeff Hughes, Pat Carroll, Ted Maynard, Paul Bachtold, Jerry Anderson, Gary Poli oh my gosh!!!! I cannot pull the others from my banks right now
Robert Landucci Do I look like Jeff Hughes Jocelyn? I don’t know who that is.
Jocelyn Cronin haha oops
Jocelyn Cronin and sort of ;-))
Butch Woodman 50% jOC, COME ON.
Robert Landucci I just hope he was good looking J.
Brian McLean Al Dunn, Rich Fanti, Steve Yamamoto, Rocky Thauburger.
Robert Landucci To show you how politically incorrect we were back then, we called Steve NIP.
Butch Woodman Dave Grimes,Dennis Collier
Robert Landucci The thing that stands out to me is how thin we all are. I umpire high school baseball down here and the kids at 18 outweigh us by 50 pounds. Did our parents not have money to feed us?
Cheryl McFall Hurney we played outside all day. we didn’t sit in front of ipads, computers and x boxes. big diff
Butch Woodman Bob where was this taken?
Robert Landucci Don’t mind my sister Cheryl everyone, she walks everyday and is older than me. You know Butch, I have been asked that question 3 times now. One of the younger guys on Coach B.B facebook page asked me where were the batting cages at O.P.? There were never batting cages at the park. I even asked Mr. Brian when Shaun and I were at his home 2 weeks ago. He did not know. I don’t remember, were these are home jersey’s or were the white jersey’s home. I am going to go out on a limb and say that the netting behind us are not batting cages.
Robert Landucci Back row starting from your left. David Grimes, Gordon Miller, Butch Woodman, Me (I look better with no hair), Al Dunn, Ted Maynard, Dennis Collier (RIP), From the right side. Pat Carroll, Paul Bachtold, Rich Fonti, Steve Yamamoto, Jerry Anderson. Rocky Thaugerger, Gary Poli.
Robert Landucci It sure looks like the Guy F. Atkinson building in the background. I think this picture was taken in the back of the park over by the tennis courts and the netting was for Tennis. Just a thought.
Jocelyn Cronin I recognized all them Brian but could not come up. Thanks
Greg Miles Different Team, another two easy wins for Terra Nova Baseball!
Brian McLean @Greg, South City didn’t have a girls baseball team like the one you played on at Terra Nova.
Greg Miles Too bad! they might of won more games than the boys.
Robert Goldstein We swept Terra Nova our Junior year, Racanelli twice. Split with them Senior year, Shirly, the best left hander I ever faced.
Butch Woodman Bob, for some reason I think that pic was taken at Hillsdale High
Robert Landucci I trust you judgement on this, for no other reason than that I am at a loss.
Dino Fontana Hey Robert Landucci, I just emailed this photo to my co-worker Gene Montgomery, and he immediately started naming these guys.. lol
Robert Landucci I knew you were going to ask that. I was a Junior that year. Here it goes. Back row starting from your left. David Grimes, Gordon Miller, Butch Woodman, Me (I look better with no hair), Al Dunn, Ted Maynard, Dennis Collier (RIP), From the right side. Pat Carroll, Paul Bachtold, Rich Fonti, Steve Yamamoto, Jerry Anderson. Rocky Thaugerger, Gary Poli. He was a tough guy. Mr. Brian thought he would be a good player so he had him come out. He was Ok!
David Baumgartner Future Giants and A’s fans.
Robert Landucci Gene Montgomery was El Camino’s best players in 1975. Great guy, even better athlete. 1975, last game of the season, we are leading in the last inning when he starts off with a homerun to left, we all thought it was over but with runners on first and third someone bunted the ball in the air and we doubled the runner on first. Game over.
Robert Landucci Thanks for sharing that with him. I am going to post something later Dino. Send it over to Gene.
Theresa Di Falco I know a lot of guys. Bob was in my class.
Theresa Di Falco Rocky and Albert Dunn
Carla Barbetti Hank Love Tito Fuentes
Robert Landucci Hank Love was another great player Carla. A few years older than me but my Father coached him when he was a boy.
Robert Landucci Hi Theresa, I remember…
