Thank you for reading my recent "All Class E-mail" of March 1, 2021.  If you did not see it, I was basically asking for your help in making our site a little more exciting and interesting by simply updating us on "What's Happening With You in 2021".  A few of you responded and I thank you profusely, but I would be thrilled to receive a lot more.  Please just take a moment (use the "Contact Us" Form at the top of this page) and give us an update on what is going on with you.  I will take your information and put it on our new page titled "Whats Happening 2021". Now that Covid is winding down (hopefully), we should all have a renewed zest for life! Let's get back to friends and relationships and reach out to each other.  To see what a few have been up to, click on the gold button.

Ron Richard Gardea - April 15, 1947 - October 13, 2020 FUHS Class of 1965 Graduate n Loving Memory Ronald Richard Gardea loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020, in Mission Viejo, CA, surrounded by family. Ron was born April 15, 1947, to loving parents Arthur and Irene Gardea. Ron will be remembered as the most loving and devoted husband to his wife, Leslie, and an amazing and proud father to his three children: Bradley (wife Brandy) from Bishop, Jeffrey (wife Anabel) from Aliso Viejo and Jennifer (fianc‚e Kelly) from Aliso Viejo. He is survived by his eight cherished and adoring grandchildren (Clarissa, Nathan, Cameron, Samantha, Jake, Branden, Chase and Friday). Ron is also survived by three loving brothers: Jim (wife Marla) from WA, Dave (wife Susie) from Indiana and Steve (wife Shannon) from Colorado. And Uncle Ron was a favorite of his many nieces and nephews. In addition to family, he leaves many cherished friendships which he treasured. His sense of humor, smile and love of life, were endearing to both family and friends. At seven years old, Ron's family moved to Fullerton, CA where he grew up. He attended Fullerton Union High School and loved his high school years and maintained many of his high school friends to this day. He was "Ronnie" to his high school friends. At FUHS Ronnie was an athlete on the swim and water polo teams. Ron was very modest about his school swimming and water polo career where he was a Champion CIF Varsity swimmer and water polo playernever losing a water polo game or swim meet in 4 years. It was his ability to shoot left and right handed in water polo that drove the competition crazy! Ron later graduated from Cal State Fullerton. Following college, he had a very successful 40 year top producing sales career in the printing business. And in later years, he became an Orange County realtor. With his kids Brad, Jeff and Jennifer he was a sports Dad, coaching all their soccer teams as well as teaching the boys to sail on his Hobie Cat catamaran. Ron had so many interests and passions. They included tennis, skiing, water skiing, sailing, fishing, photography, and golf, golf, golf! Oh, did we say golf? He also loved traveling with his wife Leslie. They had so many incredible experiences traveling the world. But Ron's favorite place was always Hawaii. Leslie and Ron married on Oahu and they celebrated every anniversary in Hawaii never missing a year of their almost 20 year marriage. Hawaii was their "home away from home." While Ron's passions were many, his greatest passion was his family. He was so very proud of his three children and 8 grandchildren 4 boys and 4 girls. His grandkids were the "light of his life". He embodied the phrase "if I had known grandkids were so much fun, I would have had them first!" He was a fun Grandpa. The kids often called his sense of humor goofy, and he was totally good with that. He spent so many quality times supporting them with sports, school, camping, teaching the boys to fish in Bridgeport, attending endless hockey games, soccer games, dance and cheer recitals, school plays, summer surf camps and school graduations always being the official photographer. He left the grandkids a legacy of life lessons and fun times and memories to last a lifetimeand so many documented in his beautiful photos. Ron lived life to the fullest. He saw the positive in absolutely everything, every day. His wonderful sense of humor, and smile were so special. While Ron faced and overcame some health challenges in life, heart surgery and cancer, he never ever gave up or complained and went through it all with amazing courage. He fought the good fight and always remained positive and optimistic. He appreciated every day that God gave him. He was truly a happy man. Rest in peace Sweetheart, Dad, Grandpa. We love you so much. You gave us so much love. You will remain in our hearts FOREVER. A Celebration of Life is pending. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association or The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Fullerton Recently Spent $4 Million restornig Hillcrest's Fountain and Great Lawn. It is Beautiful! Water is flowing from the fountain again for the first time in 40 years. 

Both were projects originally built for the city by the Works Progress Administration, an agency borne out of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policy to move out of the Great Depression and get people employed by doing public works projects.

Hillcrest Park has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
