Katherine's Story

8/29/12. Fletcher was born in 2011. It was great to see so many at the reunion. It was amazing who one could recognize & who I had no clue about, but was happy to hear the stories. Last year we again saw Pierrette Faure ('61) in the So. of France. Floated on Princess from England to FL. Our grandson & his 2 children just moved back to Reno, so get to see the little ones much more often. I am finally retired from homeschool teacher. My days seem just as full as before. Maybe it's because I am moving more slowly now. Again, thanks to all who welcomed us at the reunion and special thanks to Sandy, Toni & Carol and all the others who worked so hard. It was great.** 8/12. Decided to date my entry, so I know where I left off. We have a new great-grandchild, Peyton's brother, Fletcher Bain. They live in Sacramento, so it's only 2 hours & we get to see them sometimes. Finally got my ordination and my AACC in Disaster & Crisis counseling. Am beginning to wonder if learning new things is worthwhile, but will probably keep on anyway. Our last trip was great from Quebec to Florida on a cruise ship. Got to see NY City & the 9/11 site. It didn't look too differet, since the last time I was there was 1963. That's all for now.*** The story is long, 48 years is long! Still married to my Gardena High sweetheart, Roy Bain. Many of you met him during the 2 years we dated in high school. Went to Europe to school, Belgium, French school days & Academy of Art nights. Married, moved to Auburn, CA, 9 yrs, to get out of the city. Roy became a fireman & we moved to No. Lake Tahoe, 27 yrs, retired from many secretarial, teaching, banking, jobs, graduated from culinary school, as well as Executive Producer of our own company that did sound & lighting for non-profit orchestras, & some famous insrumentalists & singerss, & produced Broadway plays in an outdoor theater we built every year in the park. Some of that after having a severe head injury. Raised 2 great kids, you never get to retire f...Expand for more
rom that. Why doesn't anyone tell you that? Retired to Spanish Springs, NV. Our son, Dave, 44, is here with 12, adopted, special needs kids & has one biological son married with a daughter & a new one due in July. Makes me a great -grandma. We work a lot with the kids. I home schooled the oldest into college, the rest take a lot longer than the 12 years, because of their needs. Our daughter, Annette, 42 lives in Santa Cruz overlooking the entire Monterey Bay. She & her husband and two sons just moved into an inherited house, remodeled from floor through roof. Right now, I am working on my ordination, Roy & I are members of the local Community Emergency Response Team, the top one in the country for our county's size. He is also the Emergency Training Advisor & I am the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for Aglow International for a 5-state region. We go to a lot of meetings. And believe it or not, I'm on the church Messianic Dance Team. We just had a grandson move in with us after being in treatment. He is transitioning back home. I do rest occasionally. My dad always said he thought sleep should be optional. The older I get the more I think the same. What was that about the rocking chair and retirement? Did anyone out there get to do that? I want to come watch. Our recent cruise down the coast from Canada to FL was wonderful. We even got to see many of the trees turning & did a lot of history side trips. Our lives revolve around family. My parents are living in Palm Desert now. Roy's are both gone now. We stay in touch with Pierrette (Annie) Faure the AFS exchange student from France, NTH Class of 1961. Our last visit was her in 2007. She's doing well. Would love to hear from all of you. I am still trying to figure out Classmates, so don't always get back in often. Hope every one can make the 50th. I'm on Facebook as Katherine Bain. Still don't do that one too well or too often. Sorry about the photo. Can't make it be straight. typical of my life.
