Charles's Story
It hardly seems like nearly 50 years and yet we are; its been interesting.
I am married (for the 3rd time). I have two children, a son 46 years old and a daughter 19 yrs old. My son has
two children, a boy and a girl. My daughter is attending RCC in Riverside and is currently working at Knotts Berry
Farm as a lifeguard at the water attractions.
My wife (Linda), daughter (Alicia) and I live in un-incorporated area south of Riverside above Lake Mathews at about
the 2,000 ft level. We enjoy an unlimited view to the west. The sunsets are incredible.. We moved in the summer
of 1991 and Alicia was born in the summer of 1992.
Linda and I own our own business, Bearing Metal Specialists, inc., which we started in 1986 in the City of Orange.
The business is now located in Riverside.
The last 10 y...Expand for more
ears have been difficult, between the economy and our personal health. In the summer of 2000
I was diagnosed with Head & Neck Cancer for which I had both surgery and radiation. Two years later I was
diagnosed with Prostate Cancer which required two surgeries and follow up Radiation. The day Linda brought
me home from the hospital she received a phone call from her doctor; diagnosis Lymphoma Cancer. Linda was
treated with Chemo & Radiation.
Well we made it. As of today, 6/6/2011, Linda is Cancer Free. As for myself, so far - so good.
As difficult as it has been these last 10 years; I believe that they have been the best 10 years of my life.
Both Linda and I are living proof that you can survive Cancer and live a great life.
As for what's next? Well, isn't that the question.
