Sam's Story
Life
Wow! It's hard to believe that I'm turning 49 in another couple of months. I was hiking in Yosemite back in May and a 65 year old man told me that life is like a toilet paper role. It starts off rolling slow but, as it gets closer to the end. It rolls faster. I've been rolling in Bakersfield, California for over 26 years now. I married Patricia (Cindy) Dodd back in May,'79. You may remember her from the class of '75. We have a 9 year old son named Matthew. He likes to surf, ride skateboards (what kid dosen't),snowboard and play guitar. Cindy loves being a homemaker. She stopped working right after she became pregnant with Matt. She is involved with church, running, and keeping me and Matt in line. We have a standard poodle named Chauncey and a couple of frogs. I work for Chevron...Expand for more
Oil Corp. as a Construction Planner. I started with Getty Oil who was bought by Texaco who was bought by Chevron. I now have over 25 years with this outfit. They have been very good to me, I've been blessed. These days I walk alot and thanks to Cindy, eat right and maintain a healthy life style. I hope to retire in 8 more years. Cindy and I are not sure what we are going to do but, we are considering either selling this house and move somewhere else out West or keep this house and purchase a condo somewhere. Maybe Oregon,Nevada or Northern Calif. What Matt decides to do when he gets old enough to go to college will have a direct effect on these long term plans. Well, enough of this. I hope this bio finds you and your family doing fine. Thanks for taking the time to read it. God Bless.
