Comments for Torrey Pines High School - Class of 1981 http://www.tphs1981.org All things involving the TPHS Class of 1981. Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:24:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Comment on David Schultz by A friend http://www.tphs1981.org/2011/05/15/david-schultz/#comment-430 A friend Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:24:00 +0000 http://www.tphs1981.org/?p=624#comment-430 Gosh, it was a bit of a shock after so many years to see Dave's picture again. He and I were good friends, and I wrote the following elsewhere about an experience that I'll never forget: During my high school years, being a geeky kid meant that I was part of the school’s Rocketry and Astronomy Club. I met many like-minded kids there and we had a blast running around out in the desert, blowing things up (of course, this was pre-9/11), building and launching big rockets, and looking at the stars at night. One of the kids I met was Dave Schultz, and he and I became good friends. The years went by and we both graduated and went our separate ways. Several years later my brother and I were at the local ice-skating rink and as we were leaving, we ran into Dave and his friend. We briefly talked about our plans for the weekend, and that was the end of the discussion. My brother and I got in our car and headed out of the parking lot, when suddenly a Voice in my head – clear as day – said, “You are not going to see him again.” It so shocked me that I sat straight up in the passenger seat and looked back as the two walked toward their car. My brother asked, “What?”, and I said “Nothing” - what could I say? Early the next morning we got a phone call that Dave had been killed in a car accident, and I’ve thought about that incident ever since. Was I supposed to have done something with the message that I received that night? It didn’t say when or what would happen, so what could I have done? Why was I told this message? Was the message pointed at Dave, or intended for me?" Bill, I probably met you on one of those desert trips. Mr. Karge was the best teacher that I've ever had. What happened that night I've carried with me ever since, wondering what it all meant. At such an early age, it was a stern introduction on how unforgiving life can be. Rest in peace, Dave.

McNally. Classmates knew me as Katie McNally. I am now Kate M. Young living up in Santa Barbara. I thought of a 30th TP reunion too late (oh well, next time)! I'm currently working in non-profits, living with my husband, Andy Young, who went to SBHS, class of '81, and two daughters: Bridget (16) and Lindsey (13). We're just down from the Mission. I miss my old TP buddies: Julie, Carol, Kelly, Dayna, Debbie T. What're you guys up to? Let me know when the next TP '81 reunion is. Thanks. Hi, it’s Kathleen M. McNally.

Thanks so much for all of your hard work on the reunion. It was awesome to see everyone (especially the Del Mar kids) and after looking at the pictures, I realized I missed some people. I'm sure glad I made the trip from Louisville. Here's to keeping the Torrey Pines spirit alive!! Go Falcons!! Doan, Susie, Julie, Katie, and the rest of the committee,

Staying at Katie's, I saw up close and personal how involved pulling it off was, and you kept cool heads through it all--even the last minute crunch (Doan, you had my amateur back when I flubbed those ticket stuffers!) Big kudos for such a professional and fun slide show, great wine, fantastic ravioli's, fun personal centerpieces, a tight and fun band, beautiful setting, Yogi's pre-party--one of my best bar parties ever, and altogether a trifecta to inspire other reunion committees to go for the gold. Great memories!! I have a few fun pics I can post if you like. Cheers!! Lori Powell Winter Thank you TPHS ’81 Reunion Committee for throwing a really first-class bash for all of us.

I played on the soccer team with Robbie, he was a great player. Off the field, the soccer team always had a great time, and Robbie was in the middle of it. I dont know the details of his death, but it sounds like it was avoidable. The soccer team and all of TPHS wont forget Robbie. I’m from class of 80.
