- Message: I never left Chula Vista. Maybe for about a year when I was married back in 1969, but I came back after the divorce. I was married a second time and have a son from that marriage who is 27 now. My dream way back then was to become a wife and mother and have the house with the white picket fence!!! Well, that didn't happen soooooo... Went to work and had several interesting jobs! Right now you can find me at the Chula Vista KMart working in the electronics Department. I will sell you a TV or VCR or DVD or whatever you fancy :) I am single again or I should say a widow. Have been since my son was 3 months old. Visit my homepage, it has a lot of my pictures on it. I am very much into photography. Hope to see all of you at the picnic in August of 2000 !!

- E-Mail: ggerber50@hotmail.com
- College: SDSU/ISU
- Occupation: Shift Supervisor
- Message: Went to SDSU for a year and then enlisted in the Navy (rather than being drafted---we remember that don't we). Spent 6 years in the Navy as an Electronics Technician and Reactor Operator on a slow attack submarine (USS Swordfish SSN 579). After getting out of the Navy, I went to back to Southwestern J C. for 3 months until I was hired (over the phone no less) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (Dept of Energy). Worked as a Reactor Operator for 6 years and was then promoted to Shift Supervisor. Worked on many different "Tests" for the NRC and DOE for gathering data to support and create to Safety Codes for the Nuclear Industry (in other words, we melted fuel). That was completed in 1985. Since then the Facility I work at was trying to get a project to treat brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme) with neutrons (kill the cancer without killing healthy tissue). That fell thru ( government doesn't want to irradiate people)--so for the past 17 years We've been preparing the facility for deactivation---in another 6 years I can retire---hopefully. Married in 1977 to my wife Linda, Have 2 sons, ages 12 and 22. I hope there is going to be a 40 year reunion. Made it to the 10 yr & 30 yr reunion but i didn't get to see some of the people I wanted to see. So if we do have a 40 yr reunion, I would like to see or hear from the following people---Bill Worden, Bob Crowl, Jerry Halamuda, Kathy or Linda Rassmussen, Jackie Sheggeby. Email address above.

- Occupation: Media consulting & production
- Message: At age 48 I became a new father: my sons are 28 years apart (I had to wait for the first one to get steady work before I could afford another one). I've worked on and off in radio for 30 years, mostly as a newscaster, but for several years have made most of my living as a consultant, designer and producer for Internet, print and video projects. It allows me to be at home with baby Will. We spend a couple of hours a day going to local parks to crash "playdates" with mommies and their kids (that's easier than trying to make your own playdates). Keep missing all the reunions: Will and I were sick during the one this summer of Y2K. That's just as well, as I hear that all of the people I went to high school with are old. I turn 50 within 2 days of writing this (Sept. 00) and it's my goal to now find a real job that has retirement benefits, so I can get a pension when I turn 90.

I have been married to Jim, that "older guy" who was hanging around me in high school, for 32 years. He was 24...remember when that was "old"!

Have lived in Spring Valley, CA since 1973, with a short time spent in Japan, Texas, and Colorado. Married in 1970 and have to great kids, 35 and 33. I was divorced in 1985, and have enjoyed the single life. Now raising my grandson who is almost 14 (such a lovely age). I have decided I deserve a reward for doing this twice - taking the money I have been saving for college and a car, and going to South Africa to volunteer at a chimpanzee sanctuary when this kiddo graduates in 4 years. I have worked in Government contracting for the last 26 years - and hate the defense budget cuts.

- Message: What a great idea! My sister Kathy turned me on to this site. I hope that more folks find out about it. I'm living in Reno, NV, where I've been for the past 19 years. I love the proximity to Tahoe, the Bay Area and the wine country. I'm married, have been for almost nine years, and have a wonderful (don't they all say that?) 5 year old daughter. Although I have a BA in history/education with a secondary teaching certificate (earned thru an "inventive" nine-year course of study at MSU- but that's too long a story to tell here!), I'm working as a senior melt technician at a 2.4 megawatt EB furnace that recycles scrap titanium into ingot. I have no idea how I wound up doing this, but somehow it seems to work for me. I don't get down San Diego way much anymore ( everyone in my family has moved elsewhere ), so it's hard to keep in touch with CP people. As it has in my ( widely scattered ) family, the "net" would be a way cool place to open new lines of comunication. If you're out there & want to say hi, feel free.
