Richard J.'s Story
Life
Where is everyone? I guess I'm going to have to get it started. I'm officially old now, I'm 47, married with 4 kids (29, 28, 20 & 16), 2 still live at home. I think I get the award for the oldest kids. My daughter Jennifer (29) was at my High School Graduation.....how many of you can say that? She gave me a beautiful grandson (Brayden) who's 6 now...wow! I was single for almost 17 years before getting married again in 1998 to Yvette. I then adopted her 2 boys. Let's recap....married in 1977 at age 17, had 2 kids, Jenny & Joey, got divorced in 1982, then remarried on the night of VNHS's 20th Class Reunion 8/29/98. That's why I wasn't there.

union either. A few of you stopped by for a drink after the reunion. That was very nice. I really miss everyone. My daughter graduated from college & has a great job, my oldest son just got married to a beautiful girl, my 20 year old is in college now and my 16 year old is a junior in HS. Life is hectic, but great for my family. I cannot complain. Getting started so young was good for me in the long run. I went to the West Valley Occupational center at night as a Sr. in high school. I got my real estate license when I was 18 years old and have been in the real estate business ever since. I have owned a real estate company and a mortgage company since 1989. We also have 2 Dachshunds and a Macaw who are our babies now.
