Joel's Story
Wow, hard to believe we are going to our 50th HS reunion! Been a fun ride over the years. Spent a couple of years in the US Navy, got married young and celebrated our 47th anniversary in June. Graduated from Cal State Stanislaus in 74' and worked about a dozen years as a CPA in Modesto before moving to Virginia in 1985. Worked as CFO for a polling/market research firm for most of the time since then. Had some interesting years as the firm was heavily involved in politics (firm's principal owner, Richard Wirthlin, was Pres Reagan's pollster/strategist for both of his White House campaigns).

esting.
Richard became a good friend and mentor and his company did a lot of very interesting work in the political, public affairs and commercial realm. During the years we opened offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Canberra, London and Brussels and worked for a lot of great clients.
Bonnie was a graduate of Downey HS, but hope no one holds it against her! We have 6 children and 11 grandchildren and love spending time with each of them.
My sister married Danny Saso, one of our 1966 MHS Classmates, and he sadly passed away about 3 years ago. He is badly missed by our family.
Really looking forward to our trek west to reacquaint with classmates from MHS and learn more about your stories. Many great memories, and some not so great, that are worth revisiting.
Hope to see you then, Joel
