David's Story

Married and schools include Burlingame and Mills high schools. Later attended the College of San Mateo (AA in General Ed/Psychology) and San Jose State University (BA in Psychology and Sociology). Then, at height of civil rights movement in south ('64 to '68), went to Emory University in Atlanta for a Ph.D. in Sociology. Came back to the Bay Area and spent 42 years, 1968-2010, as Prof. of Sociology at SJSU. Interests include animals, woodworking, Calligraphy/drawing/painting occasionally, Football (soccer), Leeds United football club, 49ers, Warriors, and SF Giants.

Per TV, also like Rachel Maddow Show, MSNBC, KQED, and the documentary channels. With wife Debbie, have two grown and married kids, one 2 y.o. granddaughter. Son works locally at Apple, is married to a psychiatrist presently at Stanford, and they have a toddler - an absolutely gorgeous little creature, naturally. Daughter is a vet tech and office manager in north Sacramento. Her husband is a graphics enhancement engineer, a top video troubleshooter, for norCal Cinemark theaters. Both happily married and with wonderful partners. Debbie is retired as well, and we both cherish family and dote on our granddaughter. Otherwise, news lately has been mixed.

here things wind down. Part of that is losing family and friends. Our home's no exception. In May 2019 Dave was diagnosed with bladder cancer - "adenocarcinoma, stage 4" and was given "a few months, maybe a year." It's a "rare, unpredictable, and aggressive" type cancer. Three surgeries and an ineffective chemotherapy round have pretty much confirmed that it's untreatable. .. We're coping and still get out and about some. Debbie's a rock; Dave's experienced no serious pain or chemo's side effects. Still somewhat active - using and enjoying the time left. ....It's unfortunate, sure, but death's a simple fact of life, isn't it? No whining. One feels more for those left behind than for oneself. And it's been a good and fulfilling life, even a charmed one perhaps. The people reading this were part of that. My profound gratitude. Thanks to one and all, and perhaps particularly to classmates from Mills HS. The two years at Mills were very special for me - and remain so. I think they changed me and also my life's direction. Heartfelt thanks to all who were there in those days, '58 to '60. The people made the difference, and all are an important part of my life and memories these days as other matters intrude. I cherish those memories while roaming life's dwindling terrain. ... And so for now, time to get on with it. To all, good health, family, community, and fortune. Cheers, my friends! Carry on... 👍🏿

Well, today's Presidents' Day. In 21 short months, we get to elect one.  Personally, at the moment, I'm pulling for Biden - deserving, paid his dues, true to Democratic roots. But "Madam President" would be refreshing also
