Phil's Story
Life
Dear fellow Sonora High School Alumni,
I moved to Buffalo, New York 25 years ago, and live with my partner, Chuck, of 30 years. I work for HSBC Bank USA, in the Community Development field. I love living here, being so close to Niagara Falls (20 miles) and Toronto (90 miles) as well as New York City (about 350 miles). The change of seasons is great, I don't mind the cold and snow of winter. It only takes me 20 minutes to drive to work each day. I complain when there is traffic and it takes me 30 minutes to get home. What I love most about Buffalo is the people - very warm, kind and friendly. This is the city of Good Neighbors. I've lost touch with everyone from Sonora, except Alan Greenberg. He has been to Buf...Expand for more
falo twice to see me, the last time was 2 years ago with his wife, and we stay in touch mostly via e-mail. I went to UCLA and graduated with a B.A. in Mathematics, but ended up in banking. No complaints. Life has been fairly good to me. Mom and Dad are both gone, but I have a brother, Mike, (who also went to Sonora - class of 1969). Mike is married to a great lady, Wendi, and I have one wonderful niece, Angie, and two wonderful nephews, Tyler and Micah. I don't see them as often as I would like. Every once in a while, I think of the old days at Sonora, and that it would be cool to see you all some time. Haven't been to a class reunion since I think 1989. Not sure of year. Would consider attending one in the future.
