Karen's Story
Life
I'm listed on both Taft HS & the Troy HS lists.
I didn't attend Taft HS moving just after 8th grade graduation--BUT I have a lot of fond memories (of Taft?)
I moved within days of graduating from Troy HS to the San Francisco Bay area where I met my husband in Chemistry class at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, CA, both of us went to UC Davis and we were married in 1977.
My Pets
Our dog, Victor is part Dingo and part something else. Our cats are Boo and Patches. They keep us opening and closing the doors and responding to "feed me."
Our Kids
Michael graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon in May 2005. He played PG (6'6") on the basketball team for all 4 years, one of those years the team made it to the Elite 8 for Division III. He is currently employed as a Fund Accountant for Citco Fund Services in San Francisco with plans to possibly transfer to the Cayman Island office in one of these days. (Vacation, here I come.)
Daniel attended Pacific University (2003-04), Lewis & Clark (Fall 2004) and now will gradu...Expand for more
ate from University of Oregon's Lundquist School of Business in June 2007. He was on the Golf team at both Pacific and LC, and Basketball at Pacific. He had a successful internship with Jeld-Wen this past summer (2006) and has been offered a contract post-graduation; however, he is weighing his options.
My Job
I am the Principal's secretary at the local high school - I work primarily with budget and personnel, hoping to see an occasional good kid. It's a challenge. In addition, my husband & I have our own home business so after a day here at work I go home to work in our office... advertising specialties.
Hobbies
We have several hobbies that keep us busy in addition to our business -- Golf and SCUBA primarily. I did have a pretty frightening mishap last April while diving, ending up in a Hyperbaric Chamber for a number of hours, scaring the life out of my husband. I've waffled whether I will return to the water -- I have not 'as yet' we'll see.
I attended the 30-year reunion (Oct 19 2002) and it was great FUN! Looking forward to the next one.
