Blaise's Story
Life
I am in private law practice in San Diego. I currently serve on the board of the local school district, following a three year stint on the board of the School's foundation. My wife Theresa and I have two boys, who consume most of our time. Currently training for a black belt in Tae kwan do, striving to mitigate the objective signs of advancing age . . .
School
Great Teachers would include the late John S. Galbraith, History professor and former chancellor of UCSD; Professor Richard Baum, who still teaches Chinese Gov't at UCLA. Willard Wirtz and the late Donald Weckstein, Professors of Labor Law, the former a one time Secretary of Labor to JFK and LBJ. Mrs. Jane Hook, and Ms. Violet Klessig, great teachers of English and of things that mattered. Same with Mr. Francisco Lopez, Mrs. Margaret Delinsky, and the late Mrs. Ruth Altman. Not trying to sleight anybody here. There was a lot of good people who belong o...Expand for more
n this list.
My brother John (MVHS '66, CSULA '70) inspired me more than any person I've ever personally known.
My Dad (a long time teacher and counselor in the "District" belongs at the top of that list, too). My biggest crush knows who she is, and Classmates actually helped put us back in touch w/one another.
If I had it to do all over again . . . . what was the question?
College
Two years at 'Hondo, two years at UCLA. Still go to the odd Bruin home game, and visit the campus now and then. Hard to believe how much has been added. I stay in touch with a handful of good friends from those carefree days.
My youngest wants to play point guard at Pauley some day . . . dream big.
Workplace
I started out as Al Bundy before anyone knew who that was. Went into "burger flipping" on campus at UCLA. Met most of my good college friends and my wife that way. Worked for GM in the mid 1980's before moving South for good . . .
