After Samohi I attended SMCC for two years then joined the Marines. I married Kathy Sterry (class of 1964) in 1967 and we moved to San Jose so I could start my career with Hewlett Packard Co. We lived in Scottsdale Arizona for about 29 years and then transferred to a little town in southeast Arizona called Patagonia. We have a lovely country home and enjoy the slower paced living. I retired from HP in June of 2002 and plan to travel to various sites in the US. I am now in the process of starting my own little business, Hotspot Express, to provide Wireless Internet Sales & Service to some of the RV Campgrounds that I stay at while on some of my trips.

I am a recent widower (8/20/01), after having a very wonderful marriage of 27 years. We have three children. After I graduated from SAMOHI, I attended SMCC where, in 1964, I flunked out and was immediately drafted. Rather than face the perils of the Army, I joined the U.S. Navy. I ultimately returned to SMCC, got my act together, went to UCSC where I earned Honors in Psychology. In 1971 I entered UCLA's Law School. I received a fellowship to work in legal aid in Santa Clara Country, CA, where I practiced law. In 1979 I began my business career, working for high flying computer companies as a contracts manager. I've recently accepted a RIF package from Sun Microsystems, Inc., where I worked as a project and program manager. I am starting a new career. Hobbies are music, dancing and staying out of trouble -- barely (these days).

Posted 02/22/07

I was happily married for 32 years. My husband, Brad, passed away in 2004. We had a great time while he was alive -- a trip around the world and many trips to England where I went to graduate school for three years following my time as an undergraduate at UCSB. Wonderful memories and many good friends who I visit as often as I can. I have a condominium in Sierra Madre, a beautiful siberian husky to keep me company and take long walks on my days off with a good friend from elementary school. Life is good! I have worked for 211 LA County for 25 years, a nonprofit agency that provides information and referral services for people who dial 211. Our specialists take calls from people in the community who need help, do an assessment of their situation and refer them to organizations that provide the services they need. It is very satisfying to work for an organization that makes a difference in people's lives.
As part of my job, I developed a classification system for human services that is being used throughout North America to index and access information about community organizations based on the services they provide and the people they serve. It is quite extensive -- more than 8,700 terms -- and works like a Dewey Decimal System for human services. A large part of my time is spent maintaining the system based on requests by users. The Taxonomy has abopted as a common language for human services in Canada and mandated for use in Homeless Management Information Systems by HUD. We are currently negotiating an agreement with the National Library of Medicine that will allow them to make it available to their network and to use it on their own Web site. More information than you wanted, I expect! I am also our representatives to the AIRS Board, the international association of information and referral providers. In addition to being Board secretary, I write the Standards for the! field and am heavily involved in certification of individual practitioners and accreditation of organizations like my own. It is a wonderful job with lots of perks including travel to nice places like Washington DC, Vancouver and Toronto with all expenses paid. Many of my colleagues have become good friends, so our meetings and conferences provide an opportunity for catching up over a good meal as well as accomplishing the work on the current agenda.
I enjoyed reading the descriptions you have posted regarding what you are doing in your lives and am pleased to have the opportunity to add my own contribution to the file. Though high school was a very long time ago, I still have a few fond memories.

After I left the Air Force, I went back to college and finally graduated from San Francisco State University in June of 1973. I then joined the U.S. Navy as an officer from 9/74 to 3/80 and then joined the Naval Reserves. I attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander and finally retired in January of 1996. I also received a masters degree in 1984 in Business Administration. I presently work for the Boeing Commercial Airplane division here in the Seattle area. I'm an Industrial Engineering Capacity Planner. I'm married (25 years to the same gal) and have 2 daughters (20 & 13 years old) who are both band members also.

After Samohi & SMCC I spent about 20 years in the professional music field. I contracted with various opera companies, symphony orchestras and even garnered some movie, TV and radio credits. At one time I had 40 operatic roles that I could perform in ten different languages. However, as much as I enjoyed singing, as the years progressed I found that it was not as satisfying as I had hoped. So I went back to my studies, met my wife and we are now ordained ministers in The Salvation Army. I have been in charge of Salvation Army units across the Western States and at present hold the rank of Captain. A promotion is coming up soon and...who knows what the future holds! 9/17/02 About this time last year my wife and I received our promotion to the rank of Major. As of July of this year we received new and very different appointments in The Salvation Army. My wife, Noreen, is now Executive Director of a large Center and I am the Assistant to the Alameda County Coordinator. This may well be our "Swan Song" before retirement; but again, who knows what the future holds. Hope to see many of you at our next reunion. 12/12/03 Well, "swan song" it wasn't! After 3 1/2 years my wife and I have been transferred to yet another of the many different opportunities provided by The Salvation Army. As of August 2005 we have been put in charge of administering a Salvation Army sponsored, 80-unit Senior Housing complex in the Central Valley of California. On second thought, perhaps this was done so we could blend right into retirement that will be coming up in the near future. 01/05/06
Update, May 1, 2009 It Has Finally Come! We retired from The Salvation Army as active officers/ministers Nov. 2008. I’m still in shock over the amount of years that has passed. We’ve settled in the Inland Empire area of Southern California but we are both finding it very hard not being on the go constantly after so many years of service in so many places. Our retirement ceremony was performed by the second-in-command for the Western Territory, Colonel Dave Hudson. A relative videoed the retirement service using a hand held mini camera. Quality isn’t the best but without that we wouldn’t have the remembrance. If anyone is interested it’s about 7 mins. I’m singing The Lords Prayer and my wife, Noreen, is doing a form of religious dance that she calls “Devotion In Motion” to complement the music. Update for now, But Who Knows What The Future Still Holds? You can find the retirement service on: YouTube ­ Noreen’s Retirement.

I attended Santa Monica College before transferring to Mankato State University in Minnesota, where I graduated with a B.S. in 1967. In the fall of 1968 my employer relocated me to their office in Stuttgart, Germany, where I worked until the fall of 1970, traveling throughout Europe. After a short stint in Washington, D.C. I returned to CA. I spent 25 years working for various computer companies as an administrative manager, obtaining an MBA in 1981. In 1995 I changed careers, going to work for Santa Monica College, a 2-block walk from my home. SMC has been a very interesting departure from "corporate America" but I plan to retire in mid-2002.
I have continued to travel through the years, and will be taking a Rhine River cruise in Oct. 2001 with some Samohi friends.
Recently, several members of the class of 1962 met to discuss possible reunion sites for our 40th, which will probably be in Aug. or Sept. 2002. Please send your address changes to: Class of '62, P.O. Box 362, Santa Monica, CA 90406.

Lawyer and writer. Attended USC for undergraduate work, and U.C. Berkeley (Boalt Hall) for law school. Have been in practice for over 30 years.

I was the AFS Foreign Exchange Student from Finland, who turned up in January and graduated with the wonderful Class of '62. We celebrated our Senior Prom at the Beverly Hilton - I think my date was a Arnie Pressman (haven't been able to contact him) and we also went to Disneyland with Mr. Roberts. I have so many wonderful memories from those days - particularly when I scan through my "Nautilus" and read everyone's comments. I visited the old school and also 819 Franklin St. where I lived with the Lockwoos (where are they now? Where is Julie - does anyone know?) I am coming back to LA again for a couple of days in October '09 and it would be nice to catch up with anyone who remembers me from Samohi!

I will now be in Santa Monica 5 - 8 October 2009, three weeks from today, and would love to catch up with anyone who remembers me. Let's have a cup of coffee and go to visit SAMOHI and Venice Beach.

After graduation from SAMOHI, I tried SMCC for a year - wasn't motivated. My good ol' uncle, SAM, decided that if I wasn't going to school, he had something else for me to do. Four years homeported in Sasebo, Japan and two tours in Nahm later, I got my mind right. Graduated from San Diego State University and got a job with the Navy - this time as an Electronics Engineer (a bit of a step up in life after playing enlisted sailor). Had a varied Civil Service career - afloat combat systems engineering to managing unmanned aerial/undersea/land vehicle programs to building major fleet command control centers. Lots of over seas travel - not to mention domestic travel. Stayed in the Navy Reserve and retired from Civil Service and the Navy in 2004. Now consulting part time with Homeland Security and Navy Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection folks. Three kids - all out of the house! One a dental tech. in Germany, one a geologist headquartered (when he's home) in Walnut Creek, CA, ! and one a personnel manager in Riverside, CA. Sue and I divide our time between San Diego, Colorado Springs, and the open road.

After Samohi and one year at SMCC I joined the Coast Guard, met my wife of 42 years on my way to Electronics school in Groton Conn. We married in October of 1964. We've raised 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy, and now enjoy our twelve grandchildren (#13th on the way). After the Coast Guard and a year in Viet Nam we settled in Hawaii. I played music there and traveled for a few years around the northwest with our band, "The Stepping Stones". I became a firefighter and EMT, later went to work for the ambulance service in Topeka, Kansas, then into work with Kansas City Youth for Christ. That brought us to our home now in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Hasn't life been something?! I was just goofing off online when I found this site. I have thought of you all often through the years. I didn't find any if my close friends on the site though. Guess I'll get busy! Love to you all.

My husband Bob and I have lived in Michigan since 1971. The 1971 earthquake did just enough damage to the Chrysler plant that Bob was transferred to Michigan. We have been married for 33 years (hard to believe). We have two sons Rick & Greg. Rick and his wife, Missy, have blessed us with 3 granddaughters. Bob is getting ready to retire next year and I have been working in real estate for that last eight years. We both enjoy golfing and spending time with our grand- children. My mother passed away last year. Our class reunions always gave me a chance to visit her in California. I don't know if I will be going to our 40th reunion but would love to here from old friends from Samohi. While we were in California in December I did visit Samohi and just enjoyed the memories of great time and wonderful friends

Greatly enjoying the vibrancy and energy of Washington, and the challenge of leading a multi-national educational association (Council for Advancement and Support of Education). Newly renovated home, lots of travel, running, and becoming a new father again makes life rich, full, and interesting in every way. Feeling truly blessed!

My husband and I returned from my Canadian work assignment earlier this year. I decided to put in a couple years more with Verizon Information Services. I'm based at headquarters at DFW Airport Texas. Our older son Chris and his wife Nicole gave us our first grandchild at the end of June. She's beautiful, smart and talented as all grandchildren are. Our younger son, Robert, does freelance film work and assures us that he'll soon get married and give us another grandchild. My husband John is a retired Registered Massage Therapist. He's waiting for me to retire so that we can do some traveling. Life is good!

After Samohi, attended Santa Monica City College for two years then married my current husband, Don Veronda, in 1964. Right away moved to Alameda County in Northern California and did not leave that county until 2001. The hour + commute finally got to us so we moved closer to our business in Santa Clara County. Don and now all three of our children and some of the spouses work in our construction business. We now have so much help that I have taken a back seat and again became a stay at home Grandmother of two grand-dogs, one grand-frog, one grand-bunny, and five very beautiful and interesting Grandchildren. Special to us is; back to living in a small town, travel when there is time, and my love for our family history, which gives me a chance to meet some wonderful new relatives.

I have been living in Venice Ca for the past 20 years, after losing my previously "rent controlled" apartment in Santa Monica. I didn't plan to move to this area, but things just worked out and Venice is almost the same, right? I recently retired from working at the DMV for 28 years, 18 years at the Santa Monica DMV and 10 years in the DMV Division of Driver Safety in El Segundo. Now I volunteer at the "Senior Center" (you only have to be 50 to join the center so it's not just us "old people"!) 2 days a week and take classes at SMC twice a week. I enjoy traveling to Chandler Arizona to visit my 4 Grand kids (1 also in Iowa)and 3 Great-Grand kids . My son Ed, passed away in '96, but left 5 wonderful kids. My close friend from our class, Penny Goddard Karshner, is a "Snow Bird" and spends winters in Mesa (from the Seattle area) and I get to visit quite often and enjoy catching up. In March '08, I had the opportunity to get together with several old school friends. Kathy Cohen came to visit from Georgia and we planned to meet at Norma Maister's home in Santa Monica. I was happy to see several classmates had also arrived. Judy Holdren, Judy Treadwell, Linda Haber, Bethany Olenik. Summer Wedertz, Marilyn Goodrich, Kathy and I all met at Norma's. It was great seeing them as I hadn't seen many of them in 40+ years. Lots of talk and Mexican food from a nearby restaurant. Life is still up in the air and I haven't determined if I want to move to the HOT Arizona desert or stay in the COOL city by the sea. The older I get the more I want to travel, weird. When I could afford to travel anywhere I didn't and now with retirement I can still travel, but not as far. Oh well, love to hear from old friends.
