A lot happens in a decade - mostly kids grow up and people die
- my mother passed away last year, and I've lost an aunt, a
cousin, a precious sister-in-law, too many co-workers... but
life goes in. One of my two sons is in Sacramento, the other is
moving to Texas; both are trained as mechanics. I split my time
between living with my father in Los Altos weekdays (I still work
at Apple) and taking Dad with me to our Moss Beach home on
weekends. Never underestimate the value of finding your soul-
mate. None of this would have been possible without my
husband, Bruce. We are blessed to have each other.

Hello, all. After graduation from Awalt, I lived with
my family in Canada, Spain, Algeria, Switzerland and
the Netherlands. Finally made it back to the U.S. in
1975, to attend the University of Kansas. I married
R. Bruce Gardner the year before completing a BFA in
Industrial Design. We both worked in Kansas City for
a few years, where our two sons (Patrick and
Christopher) were born. Then in 1987 we moved to San
Mateo, CA. Bruce is an Art Director, and has worked
for the SF Newspaper Agency, the SF Giants, and IDG
Publications. I'm currently working as an Engineering
Project Manager for Apple Computer in Cupertino. We
recently bought our dream house (anyone buying a
house in the Bay Area has to be dreaming!) in Moss
Beach, just north of Half Moon Bay, and just east of
the Pacific Ocean. See you at the next reunion?
Hope so! Donna
