7/4/2021 A note of interest from John Schneider '71'. Anyone have memories of the Senior Swingout from CHHS. Recently reading a story published on "Pocket Worthy," a Texas Monthly, about a 14 year old kid meeting Steve Miller, of The Steve Miller Band fame, which spawned a years long friendship, including spending a few minutes jamming on stage with him!!! a number of times - well it reminded me of a few minutes of one early summer's morn, when Gary Starin and I walked on stage during the 1970 Senior Swingout to perform. My first time in front of a live audience! I wanted to share this with you, maybe you can share some fond memories of your own. Read story HERE

11/28/2017 A message from Michael Schneider '74. I’ve been living in California since 1977, and the only reunion I made it to was our 10 year. Everybody was still young then! I lost touch with my classmates over the years, but I still have so many fond memories of my four years there. I wonder if any other alums moved to Southern California? My brother Greg moved to Houston, but after my parents both passed, going back to Michigan has not been a regular thing. I’ve been happily married for almost 20 years now, after having spent 6 years in the seminary (San Diego and Rome). Turned out that it wasn’t meant to be! Hope those who read this remember me and have (mostly) good things to say!

Even as a boy, Don worked weekends helping his father run the family business (Cadillac Custom Catering). Don never minded the tough tasks or long hours, but rather viewed life’s responsibilities as a better way to bond with those around him.
