Frederick's Story
Life
After graduating from Las Plumas High School, I attended UC Davis where I graduated with a degree in Math/Computer Science. I was in the band and on the wrestling team at UCD (All-American!). After graduating from UCD, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and worked for IBM for 20 years. Left there and tried my hand with a couple of Internet startup companies. I still reside in the bay area and currently own a retail store which provides Nutritional Foods to Mothers and Children.
College
Stayed in the dorms my first year. I room with my buddy Don, who was also from Orovlille. He was a genius. So were several other in my dorm. I was blown away that there were a couple of guys who could not go to a class for days at a stretch, read the text book the night before an exam, and then get an A. I remember water balloon wars using ballon launchers made from surgical tubing & measuring cups...pinball all night...kegs. No c...Expand for more
ar, just a bicycle that first year.
I was in the crazy Cal Aggie Marching Band. You don't even want to know some of the things this group did.
Enjoyed my time on the UCD Wrestling team. We had some great times, especially when we had to share the gym with the women's gymnastics team. Bob Brooks was a great coach.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated...what else can I say. Searching for Phi Nu Pi. A great time. Way too many parties. Friends that I still have today.
From my days in the fledgling Computere Science program at UCD...punched card readers that always seem to break at the worst possible time--when you program was due. I remember hours in the basement of Hutchison Hall, at midnight, trying to get a program to compile and print before the "Maintenance Window." Burroughs B6700 Computer. We went state of the art with a Hazeltine terminal that allowed Online, rather than punched card.
Those were the days.
