I've spent 30+ years in the Pacific Northwest, and called Arcata/Eureka area home. I attended Humboldt State University for close to forever--I really enjoyed it and the surrounding community. I reveived a B.S. and a M.S. in Natural Resources Namagement, and Vegetation/Forest Ecology. For work, I spent most of the time working as vegetation ecologist conducting research in forest ecology and natural resource management for Federal and State Agencies througout California, Oregon, and other areas on the Pacific coast. I also spent some of the early net years working as a computer techie (website design, etc) for a variety of DotOrg's. I moved back to Los Altos in 2004 to take care of some medical adventures including, and associated with, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (things are going well now). I stayed down here to spend more time helping my mother -who died in 2008. On top of all of this, I am now working for Caltrans at the Oakland HQ as an Associate Environmental Planner Biologist/Ecologist for projects in Marin County and Sonoma County--tracking down endangered species and wetlands-- and working with all sorts of Federal and State resource agencies. I now live in Hayward. Best wishes to all. ---Steve http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000777.html Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:59:06 GMT 777,1264456746@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 25-Jan-2010. I see that my last update predicted our cruising departure date to be mid-September, 2009. Well, we left on Sept. 27 -- not half bad! We sailed to San Diego with several stops along the way. Then we traveled with a large group of boaters (about 190 boats in all) from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas arriving on Nov. 5, 2009. We continued on from there and are currently located in La Paz. It is beautiful here, sunny and warm, and we have no desire to return. However, for the first three summers, I may return during the summer to refill the cruising kitty. If there is a reunion this summer, I'll be there. If you are interested, you can follow our adventures at www.muggsandlarry.com. We are cruising on a 45' ketch-rigged sailboat. My high school Spanish has come in very handy, too! http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/001331.html Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:24:16 GMT 1331,1262748256@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 5-Jan-2010. Happy New Year 2010, amazing to be here after all these years! Now, Steve and I have two married daughters and a one year old grandson. Life is treating us well in Whitefish, Montana. Enjoy the years ahead! http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002570.html Wed, 06 Jan 2010 01:03:09 GMT 2570,1262739789@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 5-Jan-2010. I married Cathy Bryant ( Homestead High School) in 1970. I worked for my Father at his service station in Los Altos until 1974. I was a Police Officer in Mtn. View until 1978.

I am living and working in Carmel Indiana. I have been living here in Indianapolis since I graduated from DePauw University. I am an RN and RLC working in women's health. I was married for 29 years and have been divorced for 6. I have 2 wonderful sons which are both married. One working as an attorney in San Francisco. One is in grad school in Denver. I love travel, running, cycling, snow skiing and generally being outside. Would love to come to a 40 year 1970 reunion if there is one!

OK, technically I graduated a year early in 1969 but otherwise I would have been class of 70. I've never regretted graduating early. I went to design school at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. After graduating, I designed clothing for five years, after which I went into window display, where I worked for the next 14 years (Macy's, Bullock's, freelance). I got married in 1988 to a musician, but we divorced in 1994. We bought and fixed up two vintage houses together, and after the divorce I continued to do house restoration for a living. I am currently renovating house #10. It will be the keeper house, as it is a huge, amazing Arts and Crafts home built in 1905 by a man who owned a lumber yard. In the course of all this renovation, I picked up a lot of obscure knowledge which I eventually synthesized into a book- Bungalow Kitchens, which was published by Gibbs-Smith in May 2000.( Ah, wouldn't my English teachers be proud.) My second book, Bungalow Bathrooms, was released in 2001, and in November 2003 my third book, Linoleum, was released (note: it's not about vinyl!). My next book, Bungalow Details Exterior, came out in the fall of 2004, followed by the coffee table book Bungalow:The Ultimate Arts and Crafts Home shortly after. My last book (so far),Bungalow Details:Interior, was released in 2006. I have also written articles for Old House Journal, American Bungalow, Old House Interiors, Style 1900, and the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine.I write when I feel like it for the Berkeley Daily Planet. Because of the books, I have also gotten to appear on TV- once on Food Network's Ultimate Kitchens, and three times on HGTV's Curb Appeal. (In one Curb Appeal show I gained a fake husband- TV is not like reality) All right, my life is starting to sound really glamorous, so let's have a little balance here. In 2000 I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I went through six months of chemotherapy and I am currently in remission and hope to stay that way. There are, however, no guarantees. In fact, three years ago I relapsed into a indolent lymphoma called Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The use of the term indolent always makes me think of a cancer cell lounging in a hammock with a margarita. Indolent cancers are harder to treat, as they don't respond to chemotherapy, which kills fast growing cells, and these cells aren't growing that fast. So treatment is mainly with monoclonal antibodies, which, for the patient, are a lot more pleasant- no hair loss, nausea, etc. So far it's been kept in check, but it is chronic, so it keeps coming back. Here's the lesson I learned from my illness: don't put off doing what you want to do, because life is random and you may never get the chance. And a note to any teachers or staff reading this: I'm 57 years old now and I still have no respect for authority!
