One brother had the electrical shop that repaired/rewound industrial electric motors and employed commercial electricians for field industrial needs.

ison and Huntington Beach High Schools in Huntington Beach, CA. Until retirement, Dec 2007, I was employed for the past 30+ years in Internal Security, Investigations and Corporate Security Management. I married a great lady, have 2 grown sons and 8 grandchildren. Until my mother's passing in Jan 2005, she still lived in Paramount--the same house I grew up in on Motz St. That property has since been sold and converted into 5 condo units. I very much enjoyed our 40th class reunion and looking forward to the 50th in Sept. 2011. I enjoy a variety of sports, especially Baseball & Football. My wife and I are avid Anaheim Angels Baseball fans and long time season ticket holders. We frequently attend Baseball games at Cal State Fullerton (my Alma Mater), and a variety of sporting events at our local high school. We very much enjoy traveling to almost anywhere-anytime and especially like visiting Lake Tahoe and taking Cruises....
