Charles's Story
I dropped out of Sunset half-way through my Junior year in 1972. I at least remember liking my English, French and Algebra classes, but my memory is too fuzzy to remember much more. I came to Sunset from Meadow Park Jr. High, where I enrolled in 9th grade when my father was transferred to Portland in 1969. When I dropped out of Sunset high, I moved back to Los Angeles, and joined the Navy at 17, and served 3 1/2 years in Hawaii (after boot camp and technical training to be a diesel mechanic). I finished high school there, graduating from St. Louis High School in Honolulu, in December 1973. Got out of the Navy and remained in Hawaii for another 4 years, then moved to San Diego. I re-joined the Navy and went to Italy for a year, then a ship in Virginia, and another ship in San Diego, getting discharged at the end of 1985. In 1986 I resumed going to community college and graduated from San Diego City College in 1987, ...Expand for more
followed by two years at San Diego State University (BA Political Science, Minor in [US] History) where I graduated in 1989. Got married in 1993 (that was a mistake! not the getting married, but the person I married, who, it turns out, has recently moved to PORTLAND!) Divorced in '99, I met a wonderful Russian Ãmigré with two daughters in 2000, and married in 2002, and never looked back. I quit my IT support job in 2005, and formed a corporation from what was previously my side business, as a Managed [IT] Services Provider for small businesses. Basically, I am the IT for small companies that need IT services (Servers, Email, Cloud, etc.), but aren't quite big enough to justify hiring a dedicated IT support person. My daughter moved to SE Portland recently and bought a house, so I am likely to visit the Portland area much more than have in the past 40 years. I hope I will see some people who may remember me. . . .
