Manny Moore

Our 50th Reunion was a great opportunity to reconnect with 1961 alumni and discover what everybody’s been doing since Azusa High. One colorful and interesting classmate I had the pleasure of talking with is my former neighbor, Manny Moore.

When I knew Manny in elementary school, one thing I’ll never forget is the time he invited me,  along with several other little girls, to his birthday party. When we noticed that he was the only boy at the party, he explained that none of the boys he invited could make it. We were more than a little suspicious, especially when he asked us to play “Spin the Bottle”. We went along with his request because we thought he was funny and brave for asking.  Is this a smart guy, or what?

After high school Manny moved to Montana and opened an antique shop, got married and started raising Texas Longhorn cattle. I know neither the time period this took place nor the sequence  of events– Manny will have to write a bio to fill us in. Anyway, my former suburban neighbor became a real cowboy– and he wore boots, hat and big silver belt buckle to the reunion to prove it. By-the-way, Manny’s wife couldn’t make it to the reunion because she was elk hunting. Click on the following link to hear what Manny has to say about raising Texas Longhorn cattle:
