| What are you doing these days? I've had my own bookkeeping service for about 20 years, where I work 4 days per week for a company, and also work out of my house for a number of smaller accounts. I did this for years to be able to spend time with my kids. Right now I am working 4 days per week for Kirk Douglas. What a kick!! Tell us about your children. Well, I'll say that they have a lot of me in them...which is good, and not so good. Two boys, Rusty, 18, and Zachary, 16. Rusty, who graduates in June, is a bright and intelligent boy. He played soccer, baseball, basketball, football and wrestling. After graduating in June, he plans on taking a trip to Europe with a couple of buddies. He has taken 4 years of Japanese and is quite fluent. He was an exchange student with our sister city (Santa Monica - Fujinomiya), where he stayed 3 weeks in Japan, then returned with the host family child. It was quite an experience. He has been a member of Academic Decathalon for two years. He discovered girls in the 9th grade, and has been a teenager ever since. My 16 year old is totally different. He was never good at sports, and never enjoyed them. I found out later that he was Right Handed/Right Brained, which seems to make some things very hard to learn. He is, however, a fabulous swimmer and swims every day at school...(I just had to find out what he was good at and what he liked). He is also taking Japanese, so basically, I'm outnumbered. I talk in English and they talk to themselves in Japanese... He is an avid reader, is into Anime with his Hovel-ite friends at school, and is a great kid. He and his friends are going to the Anime Expo in Anaheim this summer. Highlights of the past 40 years. Out of school I went directly to SFVSC (which is now called UC Northridge). I was a dormie and had a lot of fun. But I wanted to get out into the world and found myself working at Warner Bros/Reprise Records. I was there for a number of years but did move around to other record companies like A&M, Casablance and Shelter. When corporate America took over in 1980's, it was time to get out. I started a cleaning business, went back to school, and played volleyball 6 days a week, indoor and beach. I was born to play that sport. I started a bookkeeping service and have worked for some very 'interesting' people since. Somewhere in there I was married for about a year, divorced, married again about 10 years later, was married for 18 long, very long years, and am now single again. I'm pleased to say there is life after death. I've stayed in touch with Lynn Ward and Leslie Cannon, and recently found Arlene Calac. I bought a quirky little house in West Los Angeles in October. I've been changing and fixing and repairing, and I'm enjoying the whole experience. I wouldn't mind doing this again. Words of Wisdom to Impart? Don't settle Your funniest memory(s)while at PSHS. It wasn't funny - It was mortifying. I hadn't been driving too long when I pulled out of the driveway at school and was immediately, and I mean immediately, pulled over.... to receive my first ticket....Yeah, funny.... General Unloading Done Here. Your choice of subject(s). From the pictures on this website, I hope we get name tags... |
