Update: July 2017

I went to a ships reunion for the USS Coral Sea last year in San Diego.  Then I went to visit friends in Arizona.  Never again, it's too hot.  I also traveled up to Oregon, a lot of rain!  I'm loving my Redwoods, Paradise!!  I'm loving retired life to the Max and really enjoy where I live immensely!!

-----------------------------------------------------

Once I graduated from high school, I partied at SJCC for a year and a half.  After the party I joined  the Navy and got to work on a Catapult crew aboard an aircraft carrier, CVA 43, for three years. Once I left the Service and  divorced I went to work for FMC building Mortar shells. From there I installed phones, worked at the Ore House as a bouncer.  I also bartended for a year, did carpet installing for fourteen  years and ended up a salesman for twenty years. I retired last year and am  loving life.

I  took time out from work to go back to school and got a couple of AA's and made the Dean's Honor List. What a shock!  I also  had twin boys who gave me five beautiful grandchildren. Life is wonderful and I look forward to this class reunion.
