Janet's Story
For those who don't remember, my sister, Pamela Hillary, and I are twins. I think there were several pairs at Fairfax.
Schools: Wilton Place Elem.; John Burroughs Junior High.
LACC, UCLA, CalState LA, USC
This is what I wrote for the 30th reunion bio-book with a bit added that couldn't because of the limited word count:
Read history-classes at UCLA-never stopped; travel; liberal political issues.
After graduation I spent a year making up all the classes I didn't take at Fairfax. Don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend in school at all. Especially one that doesn't go to yours. Transferred to UCLA, B.S., Chemistry. Worked for a few years then went for a Ph.D. Inorganic Chem. at USC. Left early with M..S thesis.
Been a parent since. The biological clock is a scientific fact. I am on the Science Committee at Franklin Elem. in Santa Monica where Eric will be going into 5th grade. He has n...Expand for more
ot been held back.
What I've learned is to become more than just a chemist. I now consider myself a Scientist-at-large and a bit of a technologist. I am the webmaster and gamemaster at home.
My son would never ask his father to help him fix a gadget or player. It would be me. His dad has a Ph.D. in chemistry & split a couple years ago to Denver. Mid-life crisis should be classified as psychiatric medical condition. We married in 1986.
I've (we've) traveled to Europe and Australia, as well as a few places here. Put off major domestic travel until Eric is older and learns the history. Glad he was born when I was older. Wouldn't have been as dedicated a parent if I had my son when I was younger.
Of course there's always more and more one could write. Why would you want to read it? I haven't won the Nobel or any award in years and years. I'll listen to you and vice versa at the reunion.
