JUST A LITTLE ABOUT ME:
After all the years
this site has been online (since 2000), I want to tell my classmates something
about myself that I am proud of but that most of you do not know.
I am
now retired from a
53-year career as a nationally recognized CPA, and I continue to provide
technical and other consulting services to CPAs, other
professionals, businesses and not-for-profit organizations around
the nation.
For five years beginning in the early 1980s, my
beloved father, Jack Levy, suffered from the brutal and dreaded
neuromuscular disease, ALS, a/k/a "Lou Gehrig's Disease".
)Many of you may
have known him because when we were in school together, he was the
mechanic at Oceanside Gulf at Long Beach Rd. and Waukena Ave.)
But once stricken, he soon became unable to handle small tools. We
lost him in 1986 when he was not yet 68 years old. (I felt like I
must have been the youngest person ever to lose a father.)
Shortly before Dad passed, I learned
about the ALS Assocation (ALSA) and got involved. (You probably
heard or read about ALSA during the famous
Ice Bucket Challenge
of
the summer of 2014.) Soon, I was
appointed to ALSA's national Board of Trustees and, then because I am a CPA, I became
its national treasurer and chief financial officer for almost seven
years. (This is what I am most proud about.) I have remained passionate
about ALSA and its mission ever since. If you want to know more
about my long-term involvement with ALSA and about my Dad
and his experience with ALS, go to
www.als.org/stories-news/every-accountant-adds.
Go to
www.alsa.org, for
guidance and direction if you have any family members who have (or
may have) ALS, if you would like to learn more about ALS or ALSA
— or if you would like to
make an online donation.
 Based largely on
my experience as ALSA's treasurer, and my 50+ year career as a CPA,
I authored The Volunteer Treasurer's Handbook: Financial
Management Building Blocks for Not-for-Profit Organizations, now
in its third edition (www.hblevycpa.com/volunteer-treasurers-handbook.html).
The book is available for preview or purchase on
Amazon.com.

This website
was created
in 2000 as a gift to our class and as a grateful tribute to the
place where we all came together briefly, many, many years ago, as the
Oceanside Sailors
Class of 1960, where we shared some of our most formative years
and, with a first rate high school education, prepared for our lives as
adults, and where we got to know one another and formed some of our
strongest values and the most
important friendships of our lives: |
|
Our
Alma Mater,
(As she looked when we
were there every day) |
|
|
|
|
So be my
guest.
You've got nothin' to lose!
|
Won't you let us take you on a |
|

 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
Welcome back to 1960 and before!!
|
|
If you were fortunate enough to have been part of this
great class
during this
most
magical time
to be in high school in America, from
 |
|
then,
you are going to
love
this
site!
|
|
Climb
aboard
our cyber-cruise ship, "The Spirit of '60,"
for a leisurely
on the internet.
Take some time (and it
will
take some
time) for the online nostalgia trip of your life
─
a virtual sentimental journey home.
|
Cruise back to
port and the
good old days, the "happy days" when we all launched our
personal voyages into adult life in 1960.
Explore your class website, and use the magic of technology to traverse
the time and miles. Celebrate our teenage years spent together, rock,
roll, read and reminisce about the days of old with your old friends and
classmates ─ through over
200 pages* and
90 megabytes
of high school, jr. high and reunion memories
─
quite possibly the largest collection ever assembled on the web of
electronic memorabilia of its kind from its time and place
─ with close to
3,000 embedded photo
and other
graphic image and sound files for your pleasure.
Oh yes,
Sailor, this site is enriched with music
─
mostly
our
music. |

DEDICATION:
The
site is dedicated to the memory of one of our classmates, Joel Pravda,
who was
also my very dear and close friend for over 45
years. Joel passed away on April 11, 1999,
and work on the site began later that year.
|
As I remember, no one had more fun in high
school with us than Joel. If you knew
him, there
is
no doubt that you remember him, too. He was very memorable.
