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 16 years. Lucky enough to have a second child without labor (step daughter) Krysti. And along came Devon in 1995. They are now 25, 19 and 14. 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 01/03/2010 A new year and a new zip code. Two months after moving to Nevada the school district decided in its infinite wisdom to cut my husbands position. So we decided to come full circle and come home to Sonora this past October. Currently working for the Dept. of Social Services but 02/01 will be back at my old job at the Health Dept. Teenagers and birth control..gotta love it ! Life is good....and will be even better when the washer and dryer are out of storage ! Happy New Year !

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.
