Larry's Story
For this year, the year of our 50th reunion, I've added to what I added 10 years ago at our 40th. Here's the updated me:
After Pioneer, I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1972, and spent six years in the Navy, including two deployments to Vietnam on a guided missile destroyer --- one for combat, the other for evacuation of Vietnam. While in Hawaii, I met my future wife (to whom I've been married 41 wonderful years). For the second half of my active duty in the Navy, I was sent to upstate New York to teach Navy ROTC and study for a graduate degree in mechanical engineering. Carmen and I married and moved to southern California where I worked as an engineer and Carmen finished college.
Ever the student, I was accepted to business school at Stanford, and we moved back to the Bay area, where we have both worked in high-tech and raised 3 kids. We still live in Willow Glen, where we've lived for 30+ years. Carmen still ...Expand for more
works at Hitachi Data Systems. I worked in marketing and general management for both startups and public companies, but I'm now retired for the second time. The first time was in 1998 when I retired from the Navy Reserves.
I have a daughter who's happily married and two sons, one of whom graduated from Yale and NYU, and the other who finally graduates from community college in San Diego --- he may be a little conflicted since he also plays in a band.
I have researched a book for 10 years I planned to start writing it several times, including this year, but I somehow agreed to help a tech startup in China. I continue to play softball and golf. It's been a good 50 years since graduating from Pioneer: I've been blessed with a wonderful family and friends, many fond memories, and tons of interesting experiences.
I hope to see you at the 50th. If not, look me up. Though it's not my thing, I'm on Facebook.
Your Friend,
Larry
