Manuel's Story
I married Barbara Giles in 1964, we had 5 children, all but one is in CA, (he is in Aurora, CO. about 15 minutes away from where, I once lived, with one of my 5 grandchildren {soon to be 6 in September 2010}). Barbara and I divorced and later she died of Cancer September 13, 2001. I went to work for Lockheed Missles & Space 7/63 to 1971 (that was a pleasant surprisse for me, because I already had a job to start as a Welder). Started as a Decollater Operator, then Senior computer operator and worked my way up to Senior Tech Leader (this required a 4 year degree, which I did not even come close to have) in the Computer Room. Went to De Anza and Foothills Colleges. Moved to Colorado in 1979, was there until November 2011, love the four seasons (snow usually does not stay for more than 4-6 days). I lived in Parker, South East Metro of Denver on a ridge that overlooks all of the cities and great view of the Rockies. I have been in sales or owned my own business (Cars, Insurance, mortages even everything needed in National Hotels, Confrence Centers, e...Expand for more
tc.) ever since Lockheed. Recently I have had a life changing experience (I lost my wife to Ovarian Cancer, she fought it for the last ten years of our thirteen of marriage) and I am semi-retired and was working with Down Syndrome kids by working with thier physical fitness and keeping thier self esteem up. I now live in Milpitas, CA since November 2011 and enjoy 3 of my 6 grandchildren. I would love to find a part or full time job. My son is going to move back to CA in October.
I love playing Tennis and league play (I was a tournament player in the Eighties and ended up as number one in Co.) to keep my sanity and stamina. I still play pick up ball and league teams to keep me occupied.
I moved back to California November 25, 2011 and now live in Milpitas. I am now able to see my children and grandchildren. I have also reunited with my eighth grade girlfriend, Jodi (Dixon) Nunes, kind of a fairytale enactment after not seeing or knowing about each other for almost 45 years.
Hope to meet up with you sometime,
Manuel "Manny" Ramirez
