What's New?: Well, lets see - Where do I start? I was married in
Jan. of 1964 - Had my first son Timothy in Nov. of
that same year (he's now 36 & a successful Magazine
Publisher) Gave birth to my second son Gregory in
Sept. of 1966 (34 a carpenter & the father of my
two grandchildren Kevin 7 & Kristen 4) Lived in
upstate New York for a while & then came back to good
ol CA in the early 70's. During those years I worked
in accounting at various companies.

I was the Executive Director for the Humane Society of
Santa Clara Valley in the late 70's. Ended my 20 year
marriage with my first husband in the early 80's.

Married my second husband about 5 years later.
Traveled frequently to Europe and LOVED every country
I visited. Worked exclusively in Credit & Collections
for over 10 yrs. at a Computer Magazine Publishing
Co. Had my heart broken by #2 in the late 90's and am
now working as a Collections Consultant.

I guess those are the highlights in a nut shell.
(probably more than you ever wanted to know)! Like
all of us I've had my good times & bad ones as well,
but I'm happy to say I'm in good health & spirits and
would love to hear from any of you who remember me.

What's New?: I was lucky to graduate in '63. Great time hey ??

I went to Foothill because at that time all I wanted to
do was wrestle. After 3 years, I transfered to CSU
Chico. Once I got my head screwed on straight I
graduated in Biological Sciences, got married, found a
teaching job and helped start a family.

We settled in the Chico area and spent 20 years raising
that family (5 children) as I taught school and ran
fire crews for the USFS in the summer. (It seemed with
5 kids we always needed extra money!)

In '96 I remarried and we went to Ecuador to teach.
The following year we found ourselves in Pakistan. We
were both teaching, coaching and traveling to places we
never dreamed of. We've been back to the states each
summer to see the kids. They're doing great and we
have 6 grand children. Time flies hey ??

I'm still wrestling with the locals here. It's great
and if all goes well we'll have a book and a video out
in May.

Our contracts are up this June and we're headed back to
No. Cal to enjoy California and the US.

I'd love to hear from anyone just to make sure I
haven't distorted my memories of those fun years too much.

What's New?: Hi there...it's been awhile since graduation, but I
still feel a great fondness for my years at Awalt
High School. My husband, Sam, and our pup, Doris
Eileen, and I are living outside of Erie, PA. Pretty
interesting to be in this part of the US after
spending most of my life on the West Coast. We have
family here and are enjoying a much different
lifestyle...very rural with a sparce population. It
seems there is almost time for everything!

We chose to be in this area to live near my older
daughter, Laurie, and her family who run a grape farm
for the Welch's co-operative. The concord grape
vineyards are beautiful on Lake Erie (who would
think?)

My other daughter, Lisa, and husband, Sal, remain in
the Santa Clara Valley...we'd love to see them move
out here and experience this simpler life...although
we certainly miss all the variety of everything
available in CA!

I'd love to hear from you.

What's New?: Retired from USAF after 30 years. Then needing more
excitement I spent almost 4 years in Colombia working
with the Dept of State in counter-drug aviation
program. In Jan. 2002, we moved to Lima Peru and
directed the counter-drug aviation program there. Peru
was certainly a change from Colombia.
In Sept 04 we have moved to Virginia and will be
building a home near the Chesapeake. In Jan 05 I went
to Banda Aceh, Indonesia to run the United Nations
Aviation Program supporting the Tsunami emergency
relief. I return to monitor the house construction in
May. Needless to say, the lack of air conditioning in
the tents did not provide a good sleeping environment.
However, there were thousands of Indonesians that
didn't have anything so I can't really complain.
While officially one could say I have retired, I'm
still looking for
something to keep me busy and at the same time return
something to society. Best to all. Mike

What's New?: I retired in 2004 after 32 years teaching in the
Santee School District. I taught 8th grade English
and U.S. History for over twenty years before moving
on to a vice principalship in 1995. In 1998 I made
the decision that I wanted to retire sometime between
2003 and 2005 and that I wanted to spend my last years
in education in the classroom with students rather
than be in the office handling discipline and
suspensions. From 1998 until retirement I taught 4th,
5th and 6th grades. Now that I am retired I am
spending my time traveling, reading, and watching the
Padres and the Chargers!

year to Rochester, NY. Married and divorced twice -
third time's a charm. We've been married 5 years and I
have a great wife. We have 2 adopted children (10 &

operator and truck driver. Plan to retire this year
and follow my passions of stockcar racing (NASCAR) and
fishing. We love to travel and have been back to
California many times to take care of my now deceased
mother. I have a sister in Palmdale and we will be
coming back to the LA area every couple of years (to
visit and to come to the state I still love -
California. I lived on Carol Avenue during my short
stay there.). I don't know if anyone will remember me
