S. Edmund's Story

I attended two high schools. My Freshman and Sophomore years were at California Concordia in Oakland, CA. Concordia was a four year high school and two year college run by the Lutheran Church. During my Sophomore year I did poorly, and the school administration asked me not to return. Darn! I transfered to Fremont High in Oakland for my Junior and Senior years. I flunked my senior year at Fremont in 1963. (I failed American History.) However, went to summer school, received an A in American History, and received my 1963 diploma in August. That's why I didn't walk down the aisle with the rest of the class, but still had my photo in the yearbook. Oh well. I married Dorothy Lopez, another FHS 1963 graduate in 1966. We have one son, Carl, who is now 42, married, then divorced and is now a single father. His daughter just turned 12. Geeezzzz! We're GRANDPARENTS! Dorothy and I were married for 16 years; were divorced for 21 years; and we have been remarried again for about ten years. We have both stayed in the Bay Area. Dorothy used to be a floral designer and was becoming a "boat person" (see below). I spent 20 years working for American Broadcasting Company.

levision in San Francisco when I left in 1989 to begin a business with a colleague (from KPIX) doing satellite transmission services. If you are traveling I-580 West, past the Golden Gate Fields horse track, the large satellite earth station antennas on the East side of the freeway is where I work. My current job description is: Satellite Earth Station Systems Design Engineer. Not bad for a kid who did so poorly in high school! Dorothy and I lived aboard our 1996 Hunter Passage 42 sailing sloop for 5½ years while I was going through my divorce from my third wife - the divorce took 7 years to complete (Dorothy never remarried after our divorce and we started dating again 6 months after my third divorce started). I made so many court appearances during that time that the court staff, the clerk, the bailiff, the court reporter and the Judge would recognize me and know my name on the street. We still have the boat and we keep her at the beautiful Marina Bay Yacht Harbor in Richmond, CA. The boat is like a miniature two bedroom, two bath apartment. We moved ashore in 2006 to Pinole, CA, and we are hoping to take the boat down the coast to Mexico one of these winters if all goes well. From there? Who knows?
