Kenny's Story
In May of 2011, Kenny had a massive heart attack in Silver Springs, NV where he resided. He passed from this world on June 3, 2011. He was very well loved and respected.
Life ........ humm where do I began, nothing really spectacular to report, I am just a common everyday Joe getting by like most everyone else :)
I was first enrolled at Rancho Alamitos 1972-73 for the 9th grade and the first half of the 10th grade, then went to live with my Dad in Paramount. I came back to Rancho for the 12th grade 1975-76, but left again before graduating ... what a dumb mistake. but I did graduate in the spring of '76 from Lincoln Adult Education ... guess I was in too big of a hurry to join the working world "/ Now I can't wait to retire ... LOL
Do you know anyone that ever tried to sell the school pinnate's at football games ? ? I remember doing that a few times ... and I didn't even belong to any of those spirit clubs ... I was kind of quiet and shy mostly ... so don't understand what ever possessed me to want to sell pinnate's at a football game ... but I did :)
I was overjoyed to have been able to helped out with and attend the RAHS 76'ers 30 year reunion [Aug. 2006] ... What a blast, so many faces I hadn't seen since H.S. :)
I worked at odd job in grocery industry [i.e. Thriftimart Markets and Jerseymaid Milk Products distribution] for about 10 years - attended Cypress College briefly in '86-87 - graduated from Balin Institute of Technology in '87 - I now work in the civil engineering field as a Design Draftsman [CAD Operator / Technician], drawing construction plans for water and wastewater projects ...
I had a short lived political career and won a seat on the Rubidoux Community Services District in 1994 located out in North-west Riverside County, while there, I got t...Expand for more
o vote on a 10 million dollar infrastructure bond before having to resign [I moved outside of the district's boundary] due to employment relocation "/
Family: I have a son Joseph 26, a daughter Sarah 22, along with 4 nephews and 4 nieces [one grand-niece and one grand-nephew] baseball and soccer are their dominate genes :)
what do I do in my spare time: currently arm chair family tree / genealogy research on the Internet mostly ... and when ever I can get away, enjoy cemetery hunting and checking out those musty old court house vaults :)
I am one of the 10 co-founders of ISOGG the International Society of Genetic Genealogy, in 18 months time [since March 2005] we were over 3,000 members representing 43 countries ... it is a FREE Society ... meaning we charge "no dues to join" :) The sole purpose is to promotion of Genetic Genealogy and the dispensing of info in regards to the usage of DNA testing in ones genealogical research in finding long lost distant cousins :) check it out here >isogg [dot] org<
Another of my many on going activities, has been to help in laying the ground work for Rancho's FIRST ever Alumni Association :) Which really started to take root, during the planning of Rancho's 50th Anniversary Celebration :) prior to that I started the RAHS "unofficial" ALL Alumni website almost immediately after my own 30th class reunion was over ... one of the major long term projects associated there, is attempting to scan all of the 50 RA yearbooks that have been produced to date, and uploading them to that website :)
to find that website do a google search for "Rancho Alamitos Alumni" and we will be the #1 hit in your results :)
anything I can help you with ... email me anytime :)
