I graduated in 1969, but took my classes with '70. I've had quite a journey. Attended Foothill, then Lewis & Clark College in Portland OR, then came back to California in 1972 to get married and finish my B.A. in Liberal Studies at Cal State Hayward. Worked at a variety of jobs--phone company temp, lay minister, group home parent--before having my kids. I was a stay-at-home mom for many years. My daughter Susan is now 32 and just completed a PhD in English and will be an Asst Professor @ Oregon State Univ in Corvallis. My son Luke is 29 and a software engineer at Flying Lab. I moved to the Seattle area in 1976 and am still here, relocated now from the city to rural living on Camano Island. During the 90s I went back to school at University of Washington, first in Creative Writing and then English. I completed an MFA and received some awards for my poetry, along with numerous publications. I completed all but the dissertation on my PhD--a lot of life events had me going at that time, divorce, coming out.... I now work at UW Medical Center as a Program Coordinator in Postpartum Follow Up, and love working in health care. I've been with my partner, also named Linda, for nine years. Lately I've been in a hiatus from my writing, reading many novels and learning to make quilts. Life is good. If you remember me and want to chat, drop me an email! http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/001677.html Tue, 24 Mar 2009 15:50:33 GMT 1677,1237909833@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 24-Mar-2009. I was a Partner and Creative Director for a Peninsula Advertising Agency for most of my career. Still married to Tom Gaspich (Saint Francis '68). We have one daughter, Bella age 22, who graduated from Skidmore College and looking at Grad Schools at the moment. Tom and I sold our home of 25 years in Los Gatos two years ago (whew!) and have moved to Carmel. Janet Mize and I drive up from Carmel together to have dinner several times a year with a large group of Awalt '70 women (too many to list.) http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/001675.html Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:22:39 GMT 1675,1236129759@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 3-Mar-2009. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000777.html Sat, 08 Nov 2008 22:07:05 GMT 777,1226182025@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 8-Nov-2008. Well, we didn't make the retirement thing happen last year, but we are bound and determined to make it happen next year. We moved onto the boat two years ago, sold the house, and I LOVE not owning real estate. I know that sounds nuts, but to each her own. I am working in Las Vegas this year -- again. I have worked in this town off and on for the last twenty years. I am in construction, and this is where the work is. My resignation date is set for next August. We should pull out of the slip by mid-September. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/001728.html Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:14:22 GMT 1728,1225743262@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 3-Nov-2008. After Awalt I went to Foothill College for 2 years and then I did some time at U.C. Santa Cruz. After that I got a job at Atari working as a tech on a game called Pong. I worked there for the next 21 years. I now work at Silicon Entertainment making NASCAR simulators. One day I may have to get a real job, but I hope not. I met my wife Jackie through Atari and we have two children Andrew 7 and Caroline 11. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000382.html Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:43:10 GMT 382,1224319390@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 18-Oct-2008. My temporary assignment at the CDC Foundation is coming to an end and I am going back to working at the CDC full-time. Get your flu shot!! My family moved to Illinois the Summer of '69 and so I was not able to graduate from Awalt, but I still consider Awalt "where I went to high school." I stayed in the Midwest until 1988, when I moved to Atlanta, GA to work at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). www.cdc.gov
