St. Anne's School 1-8th grades (Mr. Stember-- first male teacher not a priest)

BHS 9th & 1st sem 10th. we suddenly moved to Los Angeles christmas that year and I went to El Rancho HS in Pico Rivera. Moved to Monrovia & went to Monrovia HS 1st sem jr year. Moved to San Diego & went to Point Loma hs 2nd sem jr yr. Moved to Clairemont/SD and went to Madison HS sr yr. barely graduated, thanks to my art class teacher who encouraged me to submit my final project into the Annual Mission Valley Teen Art Festival. I won 1st place: trophy, $100, my picture & article in the San Diego paper (reporter made up half the stuff she wrote. Guess i was too boring!).

I survived the Father MacDonald Fiasco at St. Anne's in 5th grade. He did teach us to use the dictionary and to read good books, so there's one good part!

Living in China Lake/Ridgecrest was an idyllic life for me, and it took me many years to overcome the disappointment of leaving it behind.

I've lived in California, Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Vermont & Missouri. Lost count of all the addresses I've lived at and glad to have finally settled down.
So sad to see all those who have passed on before. I was looking forward to seeing so many of them! We hope to attend the Big Reunion 2025 and meet all of you once again! I'm bringing my yearbook so you can sign it again next to your first one!
