Glenn's Story

Glenn Akers, now Dr Glenn Akers (Ph.D./USC) been a college professor mostly since h.s. taught for years at CalPoly, but got tired of the commute and constant downtown traffic so switched to a local community college which is practically walking distance or by bike! Was engaged to a Cleveland h.s. girl, but after 5 years she got tired of waiting so ...she left. Many, many years later finally met my dream girl and married her practically ON THE SPOT! didn't want to take any more chances of A TOO LONG ENGAGEMENT. HA! We have two kids, a boy, 6ft 4 and a girl who looks like a model, Both of them look like their Swedish Mom, Tall, Blond, and Slender. No grandkids as yet. Finally sold my famous 40 Ford that most of you remember with the woody woodpecker stickers on the windows. Surfed for decades in Hawaii and of course SoCal and NorCal in famous Santa Cruz, where we lived and intended to live forever, until the Loma Prieta Earthquake leveled the house like a pancake (we were away at Disneyland that day...some call it luck, I call it The Protection of the Lord!) More later, the story is NOT over. Wow!!! Well, thanks for all of the views on this page. The OLD PIC on the right is an early pic of my Santa Cruz Professional Professorship for about 10 years (first class that I taught) at a private university in Scotts Valley (Santa Cruz) California. Most of the people in the OLD PIC were my students in my first class of teaching and we have become LIFELONG FRIENDS, since our kids are all about the same age with TWO preggie mommies in the pic, back then! The 100 year old school was called Bethany University. (now sadly defunct about the time of the earthquake due to LOTS of damage to most buildings) The guys were only about 10 years younger than me (in the red coat) so we all got along very, very well over the years and decades to follow. Scott Nunley on my exteme left died last year of prostate cancer, sadly missed. His wife re-married, to a billionaire patient (she is an RN) like my wife and daughter and lives with her kids in Monterey-Carmel area and we visit her often! Frank Goebel one of my best buds on my left of the red coat guy has developed Parkinson's Disease, but still maintains his Christian ministry world wide, particularly with YWAM in Hawaii and other places around the Globe. He is hanging in there and we try to visit them often as we can. My health is usually UP, but just found out yesterday that after numerous protection shots, boosters, face masks etc, etc. I NOW TODAY have Covid and must miss teaching my College classes for a week or two and go online to see them and lecture with a thing called ZOOM, which is free to all of you that wan...Expand for more
t it as well (up to 40 min, I believe). So sadly after picking up scores of new dresses for my wife to wear to the H.S. reunion, we will be missing THIS reunion that Tammy March spoke of in Camarillo. I was tremendously looking forward to this event and had her talked into it even though she is much younger, she would have LOVED it, we both enjoy dancing and partying to the max. I certainly would have loved to see ALL of you and Nina Rendone's elegant house,in Camarillo, because my nephew (yes another GLEN AKERS master builder) has a facebook and only builds GIANT CUSTOM HOMES! He is taking a few months off to raise his pet WOLF puppy, somewhere in Langley, Va. for a C.I.A. guy. (who has a WOLF FARM, can you believe it?) If you have seen the recent movie JESUS REVOLUTION, it is pretty much my life story since Cleveland H.S. I was an agnostic (really closer to an atheist!) then Grandma Akers sent me a Bible belonging to Rev. Glenn Logan Akers, I was hoping it was a box of her super chocko cookies, but was so disappointed that I threw the Bible across the room of my apt. in Northridge, Ca. and 3 days later noticed it had opened up to John 3:16. I read it over a few times (that verse) and when I came down off the drugs or drunkeness that I had been doing for several years decided to read it alone and think about it. I did become a Christian, met the real Lonnie Freesbee, the star of that movie the JESUS REVOLUTION and decided to go up to Santa Cruz and start a new life. I really have never looked back since then. Went to Multnomah University and told the Lord that I didn't want to meet any GIRLS at all just wanted to study the Bible for a year GRAD Course. The day after the classes ended, I met the Swedish Girl described above and we got married asap, because I did NOT want to lose this ONE, like the one that is STILL living somewhere in Camarillo, Ca. right now. (can't say her name but she is probably reading this since she was in the same class as us 1963 Cleveland H.S. I hope to add to this again, sometime for updates, but that same Swedish Lady is now cooking up a Steak dindin to help me fight off this wicked Covid. May you all be protected from this evil disease and live long prosperous lives and be BLESSED everyday of them. Love Dr. Glenn Akers, Ph,D. (USC) a proud and honest Cleveland H.S. grad 1963. Go Cavaliers! BEAT the evil COVID and the associated PNEUMONIA, but very, very, sadly missed our great re-union! I did not want to infect any on you guys, so stayed home BUT fully INTEND to make it to the NEXT one! I think our BEST DAYS are still ahead, I know I feel that way every morning now, hope that you do TOO! Best to all of you, Glenn Akers
