Scott and I were life long friends.  We lived a couple houses apart growing up. We belonged to Bonham Brothers Band.

After a very long and arduous recovery he was considered 100% disabled at 25 years of age.  Over the following years he divorced, developed a number of illnesses related to his service in Viet Nam, the dune buggy accident and other causes.  He died in his sleep at an assisted care facility in early March 2016.  His remains were cremated -- Ken Daly

David Gray 

April 12, 1945 -- March 25, 2020

Dave was the founder of Huck Fin Environmental Education, teaching kids to get along through fishing. Dave sang Old Shep at a Horace Mann assembly, making him a star with his fellow classmates. He was Vice President of Sky Hunters Raptor Rehab.  He loved going to Padre games, playing his guitar and was part of the music team for our 50th Crawford reunion.  He died of leukemia, which he fought for over a good year.  When the corona virus hit we couldn’t even get in to see him -- Nancy Alba Conney ’63

Dave Gray was married for a couple of years in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.  He was always on the road with his bands and the strain on the marriage was too much. He then wrote one of his greatest songs, "I Thought You'd Stay!" Dave and his Folk-Rock Band, "The Deep Six" were signed by Liberty Records in 1965. They cut an album which featured the Dave Gray-penned national hit called "Rising Sun!" that same year.  Dave and The Deep Six performed it on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand!" He was friends with the Beatles, Byrds, Turtles, Bobby Gentry (whom he dated in LA), Kenny Rogers and many other LA musicians!  His brother Gary '66 and I roadied and did sound for Dave on two summer tours of the western United States in '69 and '70.  In the late ‘70s into the ‘80s, Dave also booked all the Country Music stars at the infamous Rock Kreutzer's Big Oak Ranch in Dehesa.  He was a very fine and gracious man, a great teacher, friend and a mentor to me and my music and songwriting career -- Lee Cook '66

Dave and I were in Mr. Meeks’ drama class in 9th grade at Horace Mann.  He captivated the class singing Ricky Nelson (to his own guitar) as his voice was an absolute ringer and he had the personal style just right. I’m pretty sure he sang at at least one assembly there.  It was great to hear Dave sing again at the 50th CHS reunion -- Larry Orwig ’63

The passing of Dave Gray saddens me, but thanks for getting the word out, as always. He was always friendly and kind in his own gentle manner. In thinking about Dave I realized I made a tape recording on March 28, 1963.   Our choir and ensemble had returned at about 10 PM from a choral festival at Madison High School, when a spontaneous hootenanny happened on the front steps of Crawford involving about a half-dozen or so of us. Most were waiting for parents to come pick us up.  Heard on the recording of "Poor Little Fool" are Dave Gray, Dan Lottermoser, Jim Brown, Mike Day, Beth Stewart, myself, and perhaps one or two others -- Owen Western ’63

Craig Ulak

Sadly, I’m letting you know that one of my very best friends, Craig Ulak ’63, passed away on July 28th, 2019.  During my Senior Year at Crawford I got to know Craig via my friendship with Bruce Griffith.   I have known Bruce since the 6th grade at Euclid Elementary.  Craig, Bruce and I have been best friends since then.  Craig grew up on 49th Street just a few houses down from his then best buddy, Ken Burns, who was in my graduating class.  Lynn Elliott also lived nearby. Craig had a younger sister, Joanne.  Craig and I shared an apartment after I graduated from SDSU.  Craig’s mother, Dorothy, introduced me to my future wife Margie, in 1968.  Craig moved to Las Vegas, worked in the casinos as a pit boss, and got his degree from UNLV.  One of Craig’s co-workers introduced him to his cousin, Carol, who was visiting from New Jersey.  After a long-distance courtship, they married, and moved to New Jersey.  One winter was enough for Craig, and they came back to San Diego.  They bought a house on Estrella Avenue, just one street over, and a couple blocks down from his childhood home on 49th Street.  Craig and Carol had three boys, Ryan, Evan, and Jason.  In 1991, they purchased a home in Encinitas, and have maintained that same residence.  Ryan now resides in Denver, and Evan and Jason live in the San Diego area.  A few years ago, Craig was diagnosed with heart and breathing issues, and he was on medications. About a week before Craig’s death, he was hospitalized for a series of tests related to his breathing and heart issues. Shortly before his death Craig’s condition weakened significantly.  Because Craig’s grandmother lived into her 90s, his dad into his 80s, Bruce and I always thought he would outlive the both of us -- but, you never know!  Craig will be sorely missed by his many, many friends. He was a wonderful husband, dad, and a very good friend -- Larry Guske ’62

He always gave life his best, and became frustrated at times that his body would not let him do what he desired too. But he came to peace within himself and was grateful for what he had.
Rose arranged a wonderful service that was held at his church, which he was active in. It was a packed house, and everyone stayed for the reception. A lot of wonderful things were said by those who loved him, and what a great thing for his family to hear. We learned of his life these last years and saw how many lives he had impacted in a loving way. I have included the link for his guest book, which is open to all. As Robert would say " Know That You're Loved ". -- Steve Mueller ‘66

Yvette “Muriel” Vires

October 8, 1944 - May 13, 1990

 

Sue Vreeland

Sue passed away August 23, 2017 after heart surgery.   The following is excerpted from an obituary in the Union-Tribune written by John Wilkins.

In 1971, a young high school English teacher named Susan Vreeland visited the Louvre and exited with a pledge to make art her life’s companion – “to fill my mind with rich, glorious, long-established culture wrought by human desire, daring and faith.” Once filled, her mind spun out a string of novels about artists, several of which became New York Times best sellers, and made her into one of San Diego’s most admired authors.
Born in Wisconsin, Mrs. Vreeland grew up in North Hollywood, where trips to the library with her father, an aviation production manager, introduced her to the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, to the short stories of Guy de Maupassant, and to the power of words.
“I was a too-sensitive child,” she would later write, “unable to distinguish between truth and fiction, prone to nightmares, gouged by cruelty.” Parental attempts at soothing her – “It’s only a story” – carried little weight then and would strike her as ironic later, after her own literary career took hold. From her mother came a love of the visual arts, passed down through relatives who painted portraits and landscapes.
The family moved to San Diego and shortly after, when Mrs. Vreeland was 12, a neighbor going out of town on a trip asked her to water the plants. The neighbor was Harriet Haskell, an English professor at San Diego State. Her house had art books, pottery and weavings, and they filled the young visitor with a sense of exotic wonder that decades later she turned into one of her first published short stories.
At SDSU, Mrs. Vreeland surrounded herself with books, majoring in literature and minoring in library science. In 1969, she started teaching English and spent 30 years in the classrooms at Madison and University City high schools.
She also started writing newspaper and magazine articles about art, culture and travel and eventually penned 250 of them. But the idea of writing a whole book intimidated her until a friend suggested she take it one step at a time: “Can you write a chapter?”
Her first novel, “What Love Sees,” came out in 1988 and told the story of Forrest and Jean Holly, a blind couple who raised four children on a ranch in Ramona. It was turned into a TV movie in 1996.
“Girl in Hyacinth Blue,” which traces a purported Vermeer painting across the centuries and through the lives of the people who owned it, was published in 1999, while the author was battling lymphoma. It was a Times’ bestseller and later a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie.
“True to the spirit of Vermeer, Vreeland uses art as a vehicle for capturing special moments in the lives of ordinary people,” Booklist said in its review. “True, too, to Vermeer’s legacy, she creates art that brings a unique pleasure into the lives of ordinary readers.”
Six more books followed, including “The Passion of Artemisia” in 2002, about an Italian Baroque painter; “Luncheon of the Boating Party” (2007), about Renoir; and “Clara and Mr. Tiffany” (2011), about the artist behind the leaded-glass lamps. All were Times’ best sellers. Her books were translated into more than 26 languages.
