Was supposed to graduate in '64 at Awalt but dad was transfered to Westfield, NJ in winter of '63. Graduated from there but my heart was at Awalt. Like everyone I went to college, a JC in San Bernadino in 64-65 then transfered to Cal Poly at Pomona and graduated with a BS in Horticulture in '68. My wife also graduated from Cal Poly in 69 and we were married in June. We were in the SF bay area for about 7 years with her as a Lab Technologist at Kaiser-Permanente hospital in San Jose and I changed occupations 3 times. I went from commercial rose grower foreman to an apartment repair person to a general contractor. In '76 we moved to Lake Tahoe where I built houses and my wife ran a laboratory there. We lived there for 18 years, in various houses, and in '93 we moved to Reno, where we are presently. We have 2 daughters, Andrea(30) an RN in town, and Amie(27) a paralegal here in town. Andrea married John Raimo in July of '09 and Amie married Calob Juve in Sept. of '08. Calob works for Granite Construction in Reno and John works for an L.A. company overseeing rehabilitation facilities in Northern California. Went to a terrific Waterpolo reunion for the '63/'64 champions and had a terrific time and enjoyed seeing all the maturing classmates. Thanks to Annette Neilsen for coordinating the reunion. Hope more to occur. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002396.html Tue, 24 Aug 2010 01:02:54 GMT 2396,1282611774@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 23-Aug-2010.

After Awalt I attended Foothill College for a couple of quarters, then went on a two year mission for the Mormon Church (Western States; Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and New Mexico). When I returned I again went to Foothill and work in Palo Alto as a Jr Draftsman. While a Foothill I made friends with a fellow who was a former Menlo Park Police Officer and work as an Officer at San Jose Airport. I went for a ride-along with him and loved the work!! This turned me on to Police Work. I work for 32 years for the City of Palo Alto as a Public Safety Dispatcher and Chief Dispatcher before I retiered in 2005. I also donated time as a Reserve Police Officer for 10 years. My wife and I have one daughter who is married, no grandchildren yet. We now live in a small town in Northwest Missouri, on a 40 acre farm.... Life in a small town is very different, a much slower pace of life!! http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000734.html Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:56:39 GMT 734,1279583799@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 19-Jul-2010.
