Hi Bearcats! It’s mid Summer; has anyone had a fun vacation? Mine was a family reunion with my daughters; spouses, siblings and grandkids; we met in our beloved Central Coast in California and enjoyed some special times there! Please drop a message or photo; let our classmates know what vacations you’ve enjoyed!

To my Bonita Bearcat friends, I just found out that one of our alumni passed away in january. Her name is Patty Mesa. I spoke with her sister last week and she informed me. It was awesome talking to Lola Bell but sad to hear the news. It's always sad to hear that one of our childhood friends passed away. They call this our golden years and I try to make my life golden but the golden years you lose so many people to illness and old age. It's the way life is you live and then you die. My dad used to say that but it's true. Please pray for her family. I pray for everyone every single day to live a happy, good, and full life. I hope everyone had a happy Easter yesterday. Yesterday was also my mother's birthday. She would have been 96 years old. I miss her everyday. Have a great monday! This was posted first by our classmate Lyn Chagiris; I thank her for sharing.

This was shared by Cathy Moore. Message received from Christy Putnam-Boggs: Today (March 24, 2026) is a sad day for the Putnam family as my Brother-in-law, Mark Ronald Putnam (BHS 1969) has passed away at home, surrounded by his family, after a valiant battle with cancer. Please keep his family in your prayers as am I.

Ronnie grew up in San Dimas and lived in La Verne. He served in the Army during the Vietnam War, stationed in Germany. He is survived by his wife Shirlene Davis Putnam (BHS 69), his daughter and son-in-law, two granddaughters and a grandson-in-law and 1 great-granddaughter.
We all mourn the loss of another Bearcat; keeping the Putnam family in our thoughts.
