Since graduation,I have been a Marine,a winery worker

and in high tech sales for over 20 years. Last year I
graduated from the University of Maryland with an MS
in Environmental Management. I guess it is time to do
that mid-life career change thing while still using my
long sales background.

This past month I retired from my part-time job as a
member of the 129th Rescue Wing at Moffett Field.

I still see some old friends from Awalt-Paul Dellwo,
Kevin Bury, Bill Thompson, Geoff Miller, Mike Tubbs,
and Pete Sferra.

I am married with one daughter-Caroline 16 years old
(Class of 2010 Homestead).

My best wishes for everyone's success, health, and
happiness out there.

After getting to work in 1972, I saved money and
moved to Arnold in 1973, and stayed in the Calaveras
County area as much as possible until 1-1-2000.
Worked, tried school a few times (Foothill, Columbia,
Delta and Finally Fresno State), graduating in 1982
with a BS in Surveying and Photogrammetry. The
economy hit hard, so joined the Navy in 1982, and am
still in the reserves. Got married in 1978 and
separated on 1-1-2000 (hence the departure from
Calaveras County - town is not big enough for both of
us) as my job had been in Walnut Creek since 1992.
Navy life has been good - Active Duty until 1989
stationed in Barstow, CA; Keflavik, Iceland; Puerto
Rico and Okinawa. Switched to reserves in 1989 and
got a 6 month all expense vacation starting in
January 1991 to Saudi Arabia to the front lines of
Desert Storm. Returned unscathed and resumed duties
in the reserves. Stayed there until October 2003
when I got another 6 month all expense vacation on
board a ship stationed in Yokosuka and got to see
southeast Asia. Returned to my pre-mobilization
civilian job in July 2004, and am still working in
Walnut Creek. Married again in October 2003 to Beth
and we are residing in Livermore with her three
children. My son lives with his mom in Angels Camp
until he heads off to university next year. So, the
current ages are 20, 18, 16, & 14, first three boys
and the last a girl. Drop a line and maybe we can
head out on the delta on our 36' houseboat.

a professional music school, the Dick Grove School,
where I met my future wife, Carolyn (a marvelous
musician); we married in 1988 and have two wonderful
children, Allison (15, a sophomore at MVHS-aka-
”Awalt”) and Brian (11)… Finally deciding that
teaching music was my true calling, earned Masters
degree in Jazz Studies from USC in ’95, then ran a
college instrumental program in Iowa (!) for 4 years
before returning to MV. Currently directing the
Daddios jazz bands at De Anza College along with an
assortment of teaching, adjudicating and clinician
assignments, and still keeping my hand in writing
music. Being husband and dad, though, are still my
most satisfying activities!

After graduating from Awalt, I attended Foothill JC
for two years. In 1974, I transferred to the
University of Nevada Reno, where I currently am
employed at the Cooperative Extension. I have been
married 25 years, and have one son, Jeff, age 20. I
have kept in touch with many of my classmates, whose
friendship I will always cherish. I am looking
forward to seeing all of you at this year's picnic.

Married Patty Munro in 1976. In the mean time, have
lived in places from Portland to Panama, and Brook
Trails to Baltimore. 4 kids, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 rabbits
and a frog. Pastor of a Lutheran Church in LA. Still
play rock n' roll and ride motorcycles. I root for the
Dodgers just to annoy friends who are Giants fans, and
cross picket lines just to tweek the union nuts! Life
in LA is good . . . when we're not dodging bullets . .
. or sweltering . . . or stuck in a freeway parking lot
. . . or breathing smog . . . OK! Life is tolerable.

Nice to find this alum list. Some friends are here, but
where are the rest? And who are all these other people?
I have been living and working in Alaska for more than
20 years as a geologist for a large oil company. I went
to UC Santa Cruz & Cornell, married a fellow grad
student, have 2 kids (now 25 & 22). We do a lot of
fishing, canoeing, & sailing in the summer, and skiing
& skating & complaining about the weather in the
winter. We recently paid our first visit back to the
bay area in 20 years--wow, crowded! Alaska has
problems, but they're quite different! Drop a line if
you're in the neighborhood.
