Comment: After graduating from San Jose State Univ. I enjoyed a career with the Monterey County Sheriffs Office. I now live in northern California w/ my wife, Michelle. My two kids are grown. I wrote four published books on old time film comedians and was probably inspired by my days at the Garden Theater.

Occupation: architectural designer
Comment: Greetings class of '69!  Well if any can remember back in high school I liked to draw....anything and everything from 3-D's of motorcycles to cool lettering styles in just about in every class but shop!. It followed me and I have been involved in designing architectural casework that led to a full on architectural design career. I've had the privelage to be involved in hundreds of residential homes and a few commercial projects for the design and planning process. At this writing my wife Cathy of 47 years and I are closing escrow on our home of 35 years and relocating to Bear Valley Springs, Calif. In closing I'm glad to say I did not end up with the Hell's Angels and by the grace of a loving God found salvation and a personal relationship with his Son. I've had a very fulfilling life, witnessed miracles, have a grown son, and a strapping teenage grandson! May God Bless each and every one of you!

Occupation: Real Estate Sales
Comment: After spending a few years at Chico State, I returned to Santa Clara University to complete my business degree.  With a short stint in the food industry working in San Francisco, I returned to San Jose and became a Realtor, having always enjoyed architecture and our neighborhoods.   I have lived in Willow Glen or Los Gatos for most of my adult life and continue to live near Willow Glen and sell real estate in our local areas.  I have remained single, and enjoy spending time during winter at my casita in Puerto Vallarta.  I feel blessed to have remained in San Jose thus far.

Comment: I am so saddened to look through the Memorials and see too many familiar, dear names.  But I'm so looking forward to our reunion!  I'm retired from my profession of physical therapy/management (mostly Santa Clara County Valley Medical Center) and pursue astronomy, birding, volunteering as a Master Gardener, and being historian/writer for our local chapter of Retired Public Employees Association.  I have two daughters from my first marriage. Learned some hard lessons and have a wonderful second marriage (he has 4 children--we had three 12 year-olds when we joined forces!). Graduated UCB--Go, Bears! and then UCSF.  I LOVE to ride my bicycle...mostly in big circles.

Comment: It is hard to believe that it has been 50 years since high school.  Following graduation I moved to Southern California and completed college, then graduate school in South Carolina.  I have been in the ministry and am currently serving a congregation in the San Diego area.  My wife, Karyn and I met while in graduate school and have been married 44 years.  Karyn has been a professor at California Lutheran University and University of San Diego. We have two children and four granddaughters.  We enjoy traveling, hiking, skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.  We hope to be at the reunion and look forward to getting reacquainted.
