 I was surfing your site for some reason and found my father’s name on the "lost" friends section Gary Beckham from St. Louis Missouri. The bad new is, he died when I was 9 years old. I just would like to tell you that because you asked me to mail you if you know where these people live. He married my mom who is Turkish.

Thanx -- Bye.

Mike Meador

I’m sad to say the San Diego Union-Tribune, April 22, 1997 published a lengthy obituary for Mike Meador. In part it reported: "He was a district retail manager for Home Base in Thousand Oaks when he died at age 50 of congestive heart failure April 11 in his Thousand Oaks home. Survivors include Mr. Meador’s wife of 27 years, Sue Ann; two daughter; two sons; two sisters and a brother. Services were April 16 at Conejo Valley Church of Christ, Thousand Oaks."

Mike was not only a classmate but his father Dr. James Meador was my grandmother’s physician and in 1966 delivered my sister’s first baby.

Peter Wittenberg

July 21, 1946 - November 6, 1988

I regret to inform you that my father passed away after a nine-month battle with liver cancer. Though the government has yet to agree with us on this, it is believed that he developed cancer at such a young age due to his overexposure to Agent Orange while he was a road clearer in Vietnam.
He is survived by his wife Holly Wittenberg and his two daughters Desiree and Theresa, who were 7 and 5, respectively, at the time of his death. He was and is loved dearly and is kept in the hearts of many.
His daughters would love to hear stories about him or maybe see pictures from people who knew him.

Thank you so much,
Theresa Wittenberg
