I went to Foothill because at that time all I wanted to
do was wrestle. After 3 years, I transfered to CSU
Chico. Once I got my head screwed on straight I
graduated in Biological Sciences, got married, found a
teaching job and helped start a family.
We settled in the Chico area and spent 20 years raising
that family (5 children) as I taught school and ran
fire crews for the USFS in the summer. (It seemed with
5 kids we always needed extra money!)
In '96 I remarried and we went to Ecuador to teach.
The following year we found ourselves in Pakistan. We
were both teaching, coaching and traveling to places we
never dreamed of. We've been back to the states each
summer to see the kids. They're doing great and we
have 6 grand children. Time flies hey ??
I'm still wrestling with the locals here. It's great
and if all goes well we'll have a book and a video out
in May.
Our contracts are up this June and we're headed back to
No. Cal to enjoy California and the US.
I'd love to hear from anyone just to make sure I
haven't distorted my memories of those fun years too much.
