Donna's Story
Life
I became a widow (I hate that word) in October of 2001 Three weeks after 9/11......what an emotional time. I have two sons, and two step sons. Three grandchildren, three step grandchildren and two great grandsons. I'm retired and like to travel. I have a lovely Motor Home (that we used to travel all over in) now I don't drive it so it has become my Guest House parked in the Side gated Yard)
I enjoy LIFE.... Reading, Ballet, Theater, Opera, I especially enjoy my computer...Who would have thought we'd have something so wonderful when we were in school.I love movies on Television (I have a big 61 inch HDTV). I really like to travel, I take several Cruises a year and spent a month in Paris last year (2003) I live in the Bay Area of Northern California..our weather is great most of the year. I would love to hear from my old classmates (I do mean old now! ha) I just had my swimming pool redone........I also treated myself to a new Spa (stays hot all the time). Come for a visit and sit by the pool with me.
I spend a lot of my time doing work for the Justin Wise Foundation Our mission is to promote Organ donations, offer counseling for Heart Transplant recipients and their families and Scholarships. My oldest grandson had...Expand for more
a heart transplant in 1996 just four days before his 14th birthday. We were blessed with two more years of his extended life before he died in Feb of 1999 of complications from heart rejection. This is a work of love in memory of my precious grandson Justin. Check out his Web site. Again I would love to hear from any Old classmates.
Anyone out there wanting to travel.....let me know. Or come visit me here in the Bay Area. Wonderful vacation Country.
School
I attended Beardsley grade school in Bakersfield California
changed schools in the 5th grade to Standard School also in Bakersfield. Moved to McMinnvile Oregon for the eighth grade and then to Canby Oregon for my first three years in Canby High School. We moved back to Bakersfield where I attended my fourth year in High School at Bakersfield High.
College
I worked in the field of Beauty for about 15 years. I went to the Sunnyvale College of Beauty in 1962/63 I was 30 years old
I worked as a manager at Joseph Magnin in Mountain View Ca.for several years and various other shops. I finally retired because my husband liked me available to travel with him.
It would be fun if some of my old classmates see this and contact me. Most of them were teenagers.......
