I've been married to photographer, Larry Underhill since 1992. We happily live in Mid-City Los Angeles. I've been involved in the entertainent industry for over 40 years, now retired from HBO. Larry and I are both Los Angeles natives and love our City. We are enthusiastic members of the L.A. Conservancy Modern Committee as well as being immersed in the LA art world. I'm also actively involved in the local ukulele community. I blog daily at "L.A. is My Beat."

School Story

I went to Beverly Vista Elementary School, Kindergarten through 6th grade. Then, I transferred to Hawthorne Elementary School for 7th and 8th. BHHS for 4 years. My school years in Beverly Hills were some of the best years of my life.

I was honored to be a part of a film commemorating the 100th anniversary of the City of Beverly Hills, produced by Phil Savenick (class of '69). Peruse this link for some of our stories: https://vimeo.com/user18909861

Dear Derek,  Oh no! So sorry you tested positive, Derek! I hope your symptoms aren’t too serious.

Coach Kloes will be at the reunion. I was so looking forward to going up to him with you, Derek Booth and Lucille Conflenti and thanking him for teaching us how to drive during Easter vacation, 1969!

We will miss you. Try to join our Zoom call 6-8pm PST so you can say hello to a few old friends!

Best,

Ellen B

Ellen Bloom Underhill has left an In Memory comment for Franklyn Kimball.
Mar 14, 2022 at 1:59 PM

We received a memoriam notice from Frank Kimball's brother, Bob Kimball (BHHS '73).

"Even though Frank passed away 11 years ago, I'd still like to think he's commemorated.  

FRANK KIMBALL, BHHS 1970.  1953 – 2011 Frank Kimball '70 died of an aortic dissection on October 28, 2011. Frank graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from UCLA, where he also placed as 2nd Speaker at the 1973 National Debate Tournament. He then graduated from the University of Michigan Law School where, with brother George '69, he won the 1977 Moot Court Competition. Frank practiced law on Wall Street and in Chicago, then moved from a post as his firm's national hiring partner to found his own legal search, placement and consulting firm. He spent the rest of his working life advising, amusing, inspiring, and enriching clients, monetarily and otherwise; all while making time to advise, amuse, and inspire a generation of middle school boys' football and elementary school girls' basketball players. Frank is survived by his wife Linda Listrom, his daughter Shannon, his stepson Matthew Colman, his sister Martha Lantz, and brothers George '69 and Bob '73."

A few members of the ROXBURY ROCKETS met at Factor's Deli on Pico Blvd. for a mini-reunion! So great that our classmates are still hanging out and having fun together more than 50 years after graduation in 1970! Pictured are: Myron Grossman, Larry Weissman, Peter Gerrard, Jon Curtiss and Alan Bernstein!

I'm so sorry to hear about Simon Langer's passing. Simon and his wife, June Whyte Langer were such a sweet couple....childhood sweethearts! In 2016, Simon showed up at a mini-reunion held for the classes of 1968, '69 and '70 at Roxbury Park. It was great catching up with him. Below, a few friends at Roxbury Park, August 2016: L-R: Hank Klein, Tommy Rubin, Chris Pina, Ellen Bloom Underhill, Rob Feldman, Jeff White, Gayle Bowman Rosenberg and SIMON LANGER (RIP).
