Denise's Story
In 1972 I moved to Southern California. I have lived here since. I do visit Florida about 1-2 times a year to see my family. They all still live within a few miles of each other.
My daughter Jessie, age 31, lives in downtown San Diego and publishes her own magazine.
My daughter, Jillian, age 24, graduated from California State University, San Marcos after a couple of years at the University of Arizona.
My son, Jared, age 21, is a junior at California State University, Fresno. His is having a grand time!
My husband, Phil, and I are having a great time together as empty-nesters. We hit Cabo San Lucas a couple of times a year and have the kids join us. Fun times! We also had the chance of a lifetime; a barge trip down the Soanne River in France. 2 wonderful weeks. Jessie and her boyfriend, Davin, his parents, Phil and I were overwhelmed by the culture, beauty of the area and the great challenge of Dominoes at night in the galley of our boat.

all towns were incredibly kind, as well as the Parisians.
I completed the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk. 60 miles was rough as I am an avid book reader - not a jock! My girls and I raised $6,600 for our team who, in total, raised $130,000. It was an adventure I'll never forget.
Many of you may not even remember me as I was very shy. That, of course, is not the case now! I work at a Montessori School. I am the office manager and co-art teacher - what a dream: art teacher!
I also volunteer for the Trauma Intervention Program of San Diego. I work with the 'first responders' on scene as support for the friends/families of victims of a tragedy. So, I'll be called by the local police, sheriff, coroner, or fire department to help survivors. It's difficult at times as most situation are very sad. I know there is an organization where you live that may do the same thing, check it out.
My best to all, hope to see a classmate of mine when I visit Florida sometime!
