She would enjoy contact from fellow Alumni of James Lick High years 1968 to 1971. She was known as "Mim Haire" to her friends. She also attended William Sheppard Jr. High and Horace Cureton Elementary on San Jose's East Side. She was a proud member of the James Lick Choir, District Honor Choir, and an active Musician performing and promoting the Music Program at schools and to the public. She received the Music Dept. Scholarship her Senior year. She was also a proud member of the Crest and Key Honor Society and Head Letter Girl her Senior year 1971. Gooooo Comets !!! You know you graduated in 1971 if you went on the Sophmore trip to see a movie in San Franciso and escaped the "after party" at GOLDEN GATE PARK for a walk through the Haight Ashberry (sp?) District !!! We all tried sooo hard to be Hippies on that day !!! lol. Funniest thing was we all thought we were the only ones who split from the group until we noticed the average age group of the area was 15 years !!! Roflmao. We also experienced the one and only Rock Concert at James Lick High History in the Spring of our Sopomore year. Bands were Sweet Linda Devine, can't remember the second, but the best was SANTANA !!!! The one and only Carlos Santana and brothers were awesome to put it mildly !!! What an experience !!!Wow, life at James Lick was never dull......🌺 Fast Forward. December 2015 ..................Carlos Santana is now a friend on Facebook (2015) and Still Miriam's favorite Guitar Musician !!! Update: June 2014 sold the Horse Farm and moved to Town !! "my health is very poor and I needed to be closer to medical facilities. I broke my back in 1983 and over time and several failed surgeries have ended up in a wheelchair. I've also managed to have Addison's Disease and that has little by little done damage to several organs. I have been on steroids now for about 10 yrs and am in Stage 4 of Chronic Kidney Disease. I am happy to report I have been able to stop taking my Diabetes Injections because I've done something right !! My labs (monthly blood work up) are not showing diabetes at all !! I almost died 5 yrs ago from a diabetic coma and pneumonia. I was hospitalized for 4 months and thought I'd never get home. I'd become very depressed not wanting to be in any facility and the hospital allowed my dog to be brought in daily to see me. She was just what I needed and I Love her more than life itself. She is still by my side a...Expand for more
t age 12 1/2. I've taken up Beading and making jewelry. I'm also selling it on (TopHatters Auctions stopped 12/16)and perhaps Facebook too. Retail boutique in Kearney, Nebraska in fall-Winter 2017-18. It's fun and that's what I want. I want to live peacefully and be happy. I had a stroke 14 yrs ago and my entire life changed. I do know one thing I learned what priorities should be. Tell the people you Love that you Love them even if you hate them too !! Lol. And Laugh a lot !! Make each day one to smile about. Don't judge others, it's not your right. Judge yourself and your own actions and be the best you can be. But don't ever think God put you on earth to judge others because that's his job and you're not God !!! I hope anyone reading this knows that I am very blessed to have the life I have had and the experiences and friends growing up and now rekindled on Facebook. Our generation and growing up in San Jose and watching the birth of Silicon Valley and the ups and downs of that economy and now it's unbelievable. I've been gone 30 yrs and I can't believe it. My heart is still on the East Side and the old stomping ground that has changed so much. To all of you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays !! Blessings from the Heartland !!! By the way......classmates, I'm not in the 1968 yearbook cause I was sick on picture day lol !!! Go to the 1971 Senior Year Book and look up Miriam "Mim” Haire. And I was also Head Letter Girl in 1971 too !! That's how I want to be remembered not how my poor health has rearranged my looks. I also have begun collecting Mineral Specimens and Healing Crystals for Meditation. This was updated February 3, 2018 by Miriam L. Thompson Update: December 6, 2019 Life is slower now, I’m still making gemstone beaded jewelry and selling on line and in online actions. I’m very active on Facebook and Instagram. My beloved Dalmatian Miss P. Dotty AKC passed away at 14 this past July 21, 2019. It’s been 4 1/2 months and I’m looking for another Dalmatian pup now. There’s something very special about Dalmatians but you must Accept the fact that they need your time and devotion. If ignored or untrained you will have an uncontrollable wild child. Otherwise they’re perfect ! LMBO We’re still in the Apartment and doing our best to stay healthy just like everyone our age. We tend to be homebodies and yes we are still married... 39 years now....... Well, that’s about all the new there is here !! We’ve already had lot of snow and after a Spring and Summer of Flooding Over and over again we were looking forward to perhaps a calm Winter. I guess I didn’t convince Mother Nature she owed us a break back here !! Don’t know how the people can go through this year after year and the morning after a storm they’re out there cleaning up broken limbs and torn down buildings and laying more sand bags and it goes on and on. I guess you could describe the people of the Heartland as resilient and strong. Until next time..... be good to those you love, including yourself. Much Love and Many Hugs, Mim
