happy birthday Janet. Dimas 5/5/23

Hello BJ. Viewing the LAHS web and saw your high school photo. WOW!!!! Dimas

Gaylord - Do not know if you will receive this but noted in the alumni that today is your birthday..Happy birthday. Drop me a line at enmu1960@yahoo.com I still recall your beautiful mother, God bless her. Dimas

I am grateful for all the hard work Viki and all the volunteers has invested in the LAHS Alumni web site and large class reunions. Although this past year was fraught with issues such as COVID I know that performing the work she did along with the volunteers and others who chipped that we would not be as well informed as we have been. Thank oyu Vicki and all the volunteers. Dimas Chavez 1955

I met Carol through her husband Ed Kemp when I was a young man in Los Alamos as we had a common relationship being that my sister Dolores, the second born in my family, was born with Downs Syndrome, as was Ed's son.  However, before that Ed was my Boy Scout Leader when I was in Troop 22 and recall many camp outs with the troop throughout northern New Mexico.  I interacted with both Carol and Ed many times during our association in helping those with mental and physical devlopmental issues.  Honored to have known them both,  Dimas Chavez Class of 1955 

Mrs.Fries was truly one of the classiest ladies not only in the Los Alamos school system, but in Los Alamos.  I can honestlu say that I, among many other male students, had a crush on Shirley Stapleton Fries.  We became much closer after she retired, and we would meet in small gatherings, or class reunions.  Her daughter, Diane, played a huge role in maintaining a close relationship with Ms. Fries which I always appreciated.  I coninue to be in contact with Diane, who spends her summers in Los Alamos as Diane kept her mothers home in Los Alamos.  Thank you Ms. Fries for being part of my life.  Dimas Chavez

Coach Cox nick named me Dimo in grade school when I played basketball for an intramural team known as the Termites.  The name stuck with me all through high school and college.  As indicated earlier by someone, you either hated or loved him.  I had a mixture of both.  i shalll never forget my Junior year when we played football against the Santa Fe Demons in Santa Fe.  I was not a huge stand out in football as I only weighted 135 pounds, but I tried my heart out.  I suited out for the Santa Fe game only to experience a negative evening.  The center for the football team, Gary Raper, forgot to pack his game jersey.  So rather than punish Gary for his error, Cox decided to humiliate me by making me give Gary my game jersey while I sat on the sidelines in total embarrassment.  If I had that evening to live over again I would have protested his inappropriate, poor and total negative decision.  He played favorites, and the fathers who would drop by to watch the team practise, bringing him his favorite pipe tobacco and take him fishing were rewarded by moving their sons up the ladder to a starting position.  Regardless, he was an exceptional coach.  His wife Jane was not only a beautiful women, but a classic piano player and singer.  I had a wonderful relationship with her, and we remained close friends well after she and Coach divorced, and she re-remarried.   Dimas Chavez

Larry:  After all these years without your presence I continue to miss you very much.  I stayed in contact with your lovely wife Mercedes until her death, and continue checking up on your two children, Bernice and Lee and both are doing well.  Today is November 6, 2021 and your children and some grand-children recently took a trip to New Mexico (Los Alamos) and got their battery charged with that wonderful environment and delicious food you and I use to enjoy so much in Espanola, and El Tapeyac where we once worked together helping in the kitchen and making deliveries all over Los Alamos.

Thanks for all the wonderful and loving memories Larry.  Love you,

Dimas
