Bob Rohm Interview

We’re excited to share a YouTube interview with Bob & Marilyn Rohm . 

Watch Bob and Marilyn Rohm as they tell their beautiful love story and recount how they were brought together as pen pals amidst the background of the Vietnam War.   In this heartfelt and inspiring interview, Bob also speaks candidly about his personal struggles and the deep bond he shares with his Vietnam Brothers.  

The interview was conducted by Susan P. Hunter, author of The Bravest Generation (2025).  In her book, Ms. Hunter highlights the experiences and sacrifices of Vietnam Veterans and explains why they deserve our enduring respect and gratitude.

Welcome Santa Ana Valley 1966 classmates!  This website is a private website and ONLY accessible by SAV 1966 classmates.  

The website started in January 2016 with the primary goal of getting everyone to reconnect, reminisce, and just be friendly and supportive to each other as well as to let everyone know about the 50th Reunion that was held in September 2016.  Even though now our 50th Reunion Celebration has ended, we hope everyone will continue to enjoy staying connected on this website.  We know you'll thoroughly enjoy reconnecting and seeing what everyone has been doing the past 50 years. In addition, there are lots of photos that have been posted by classmates, including many from our very successful 50th Reunion weekend.  

If you are a SAV 1966 classmate, just go to the sign in box and click on “Join.”  The next page that pops up will be a complete list of 1966 classmates.  Find your name and click on it, and the program will then guide you through the rest of the registering process.  There are no individual subscription fees to join.  Once again, the website is totally private and secure and no information is shared by any other entities.   You can share as much or as little information about yourself as you wish.
