On March 6, 2010, Victor Wright finally received his Letterman's Jacket. While at his home, we found out that he is in desperate need of a new generator. When the power goes out, he needs an automatic backup. The existing generator is over 30 years old and the parts to fix it cannot be found. Obtaining and installing an emergency generator will cost $2,000 to $3,000. Soon to come, will be a donations page for all fellow Mustangs to pledge their support for Victor.
The reunion committee is deciding on how to distribute the proceeds from our event. At our Nov. 29 wrapup meeting, we agreed to customize Victor Wright's letterman's jacket and keep this website up for another nine years. Other options for the remaining proceeds include a gift to the school and leaving our bank account open to cover the up-front costs of our next event. We also agreed to post a location on this site where classmates can send donations to support Coach Bendy's baseball program. Until then, donations can be sent c/o John Muir High School Alumni Association, P.O. Box 93367, Pasadena, CA 91109 (memo: Mustang Baseball). Contributions also can be made online through PayPal at www.johnmuiralumni.org. You can also make a general contribution to the school, or become a member of the Alumni Association by downloading a membership application form on the JMHSAA website. Annual membership dues are $20. Special thanks to the Class of '79's Carolyn Merchant Young and David Rutherford for their $500 contributions, which make them JMHSAA life members.
