Wow, very cool site! As others stated, it was very nice to read what is happening with fellow classmates. It was nice to recognize so many names even though high school seems so very long ago. I met my husband Dan at a wild party in Palo Alto soon after graduation and we have been married since 1977! He is an accountant/finance guy and I have been in Banking for over 30 years. We were blessed with two wonderful boys but unfortunately lost our oldest son Matt in a car accident when he was just 18. Our life really changed after losing our son but we have made it through and are so thankful for our son Geoff and all our supportive family. There were many Solari kids at Awalt and all are doing well too. My brother Danny ( still call him Danny probably should call him Dan..class of '77) is married to Linda Chambers-Solari who was also a member of the class of '76. I love art, gardening, photography and look forward to retiring soon so I can play all day! http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002527.html Thu, 14 May 2009 12:09:37 GMT 2527,1242302977@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 14-May-2009. After Awalt, spent 4 years at UCSB for a BS in Physics, then a to UCSD for a MS in applied physics. Lived in San Diego County until '94, moved to Albuquerque (ABQ) for a couple of years, crewed for lots of hot air balloons, then off to Austin for the job doing R&D in semiconductor process development. Now that the jobs have gone over seas, I'm teaching scuba, CPR, and tutoring math and science. Got married to a trombone player who still plays and arranges music. I brew beer and like to sample private and commercial brews of others. Like to travel, and do some dive traveling. http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002444.html Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:30:45 GMT 2444,1227551445@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 24-Nov-2008.

I currently live in San Carlos, have been married to Patti for almost 23 years, have 2 girls...Natalie (8) and Brenna (almost 18), a dog named Anna (redbone coonhound), lot's of Koi fish (in case anyone out there has a pond), and in general life is good. I've worked for Flax art & design in San Francisco for the past 24 years, love to garden, and occasionally wonder whatever happened to my old friends? http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002074.html Sun, 13 Jul 2008 07:55:04 GMT 2074,1215935704@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 13-Jul-2008. In a nutshell...I got married soon after graduating. Having both parents pass away 4 months apart I'm sure had something to do with that. Moved to Sonora,CA in 1981. Had my daughter Jenny in 1984. Got divorced in 1988. Remarried (I'm a little slow), kicked him to the curb 1992. Are we having fun yet ? So, you know what they say about third time being the charm. Thank god it was true. Happily married to David for 15 years. Lucky enough to have a second child without labor (step daughter) Krysti. And along came Devon in 1995. They are now 24, 17 and 13. We moved to Lexington, Kentucky in 2003 for no apparent reason. Ended up with thyroid cancer in 2005. Successful surgery and treatment with Drs. David Slone and Kenneth Ain, both University of Kentucky. Let's just say I love UK and my HMO. Aha...apparent reason. October 19, 2006 everything stopped. I received news that my brother Jerry had died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Life is just not fair. Also bought a home in 2005 and had just finished the bathroom from hell when hubby decides it's time to move closer to family. Timing was a little off. So...goodbye UK and, oh god, my HMO. We arrived in Gardnerville,NV. 10 days ago. Hubby is working for Douglas County Schools up at Zephyr Cove. Outwardly, I am blissfully unemployed. Inwardly, not so much. Lots of clinics, docs and dentists so I shouldn't be idle for long. We have a beautiful house and the schools are great and no cancer. So...glass is half full...life is good. Am looking forward to future reunions now that we live closer. Take care Chris http://www.radwin.org/awalt/detail/002449.html Sat, 02 Feb 2008 05:30:07 GMT 2449,1201930207@www.radwin.org/awalt/ Updated 1-Feb-2008. Hi everyone. Can you believe we're turning 50 this year? Where did all the years go? I hope you're all doing well. Life is grand. I've been a lucky guy. I graduated from UC Berkeley in Political Economics, and then 5 years later got an MBA from San Jose State. I've worked at the Boy Scouts, a community college as the executive director of their foundation, a national education non-profit based in Sacramento running large educational technology conferences, and now do education marketing at Apple. Its been a blast working at Apple these past 6 + years. I manage national strategic initiatives for higher education. My wonderful wife Lisa and I were married 14 years ago, and have 2 amazing kids- Talia age 11 and Noah age 9. Kids are good students, active in competitive soccer, take music and hebrew lessons, and make us proud often. Every so often I pull out my trumpet, my daughter plays her flute, my son plays the piano, and together we have a pretty decent family band. We live in San Jose near Los Gatos. My email is phoffman3@mac.com I'd love to hear from former classmates.
