(entered in 2010) A lot happens in a decade - mostly kids grow up and people die - my mother passed away last year, and I've lost an aunt, a cousin, a precious sister-in-law, too many co-workers... but life goes in. One of my two sons is in Sacramento, the other is moving to Texas; both are trained as mechanics. I split my time between living with my father in Los Altos weekdays (I still work at Apple) and taking Dad with me to our Moss Beach home on weekends. Never underestimate the value of finding your soul- mate. None of this would have been possible without my husband, Bruce. We are blessed to have each other. (entered in 1999) Hello, all. After graduation from Awalt, I lived with my family in Canada, Spain, Algeria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Finally made it back to the U.S. in 1975, to attend the University of Kansas. I married R. Bruce Gardner the year before completing a BFA in Industrial Design. We both worked in Kansas City for a few years, where our two sons (Patrick and Christopher) were born. Then in 1987 we moved to San Mateo, CA. Bruce is an Art Director, and has worked for the SF Newspaper Agency, the SF Giants, and IDG Publications. I'm currently working as an Engineering Project Manager for Apple Computer in Cupertino. We recently bought our dream house (anyone buying a house in the Bay Area has to be dreaming!) in Moss Beach, just north of Half Moon Bay, and just east of the Pacific Ocean. See you at the next reunion? Hope so! Donna http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000281.html Wed, 04 Aug 2010 05:59:52 GMT 281,1280901592@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 3-Aug-2010. After Awalt I attended 4-5 JC's around the State. Ended up at UC-Davis where I graduated in Food Science and Technology. This eventually lead to a Quality Control Managers job with the Smucker company in Watsonville\Salinas. Got an MBA. After 19-years with Smuckers we got tired of each other. So before they fired me I quit and in 1999 we left for Israel where I became the manager of a 165 ac garden, along the lines of Golden Gate Park. Half teh staff is local Arab- Israelis and the other half youth from all over teh world. It was a real special time. We left in 2006, traveled through Asia then landed in Santa Cruz. I got my real estate brokers license and have been selling real estate. Have been married since 1973, have two kids and three grandkids. Easing into retirement. Life has been very good to me. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/000750.html Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:09:09 GMT 750,1279721349@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 21-Jul-2010. Married 33 years,two grown sons.

After Awalt and "The Hill" I started traveling for the restaurant business. I eventually became an Executive Chef and traveled all over the West Coast, LA, Santa Barbara,Oregon, and Washington and Nevada. After marrying in Nevada we moved to Olympia. I switched careers and am now in Sales in Food Distribution. Divorced now but have three great kids (teenagers)I coached all their sports teams and see them all the time(especially when they need $) I have talked with some of you who have caught me up on others. When I see some of your names on this list I have great memories. Wish I could have made it to the last reunion, but work came first. I fly down to the bay area once or twice a year to see family. Lots of it doesn't even look familiar any longer, but the memories come flooding back especially when I take the trip over the hill to the beaches there. Some of you know what I mean; weren't we there every day senior year? the beaches up here don't compare. Don't get me wrong, I love it up here, the country is still readily accessible within 10 minutes. I have a great job (food is is still a passion and I still do some caterings) wonderful kids, and friends. But I gotta tell ya, now that the Seahawks are in the same division as the 49ers I get razzed by all my friends whenever they play each other cuz I'm still a 49er faithful! Hope to make the next reunion.
