Gerald's Story
Well, I just joined. Something snapped in my 64 year old head. Three kids, 34 yr old daughter a veterinarian and married living in GA. She is the mom of my only grandchild, a 2 yr. old girl.
Son in his 30s is a photojournalist living in Florida.
Youngest daughter just finished first year of college, a talented musician.
Briefly, my life so far. L.A. State graduate, Vietnam vet (medic), 40 years with L.A. County as Social Worker, Industrial Engineer and in Data Processing. Retire since October 2007.
Still married and looking forward to my wife's retirement in a year or two.
Good health has enabled me to play racquetball 3x a week and I am saving gas zipping around in a Yamaha motor scooter.
Must have missed something here.....
Oh yes, still enjoy laughing and being a clown now and then, just as in high school.

Over year later now - had a great time at our 50th reunion planning meeting with about 60 others attending. Talked to people I never knew at L.A. High - realized that everyone there seemed to be happy and had led wonderful lives, no matter their financial or professional status.
My old good chums Steve Bromberg and Ollie Haas were there (Steve gave me a ride), and my fears of dementia dwindled a bit as I recalled Ricky Hickman from Jr. High beating me in track and Roz Fleishman being a lifeguard at the Westside Jewish community center.
Still enjoying my life and living in Belmont Shore, Long Beach Ca.
Now have another grand kid, Charlotte Ann. I volunteer at the Japanese Garden at nearby Cal State Long Beach each Tuesday morning. It is a beautiful spot, still unknown to many locals.
And life moves on........
