Valerie's Story
My membership here covers two high schools in different states; Santana HS in California, and Watertown HS in South Dakota.
Watertown HS (1974/75 - 10th Grade)
Some of you will remember me as the little gymnast (nicknamed "Mouse") who came from and then returned to California after only one year in Watertown. Still, to this day I have some very fond memories of Watertown and the people I met and got to know, and there were a lot! I would LOVE to hear from you if you remember me!
Santana HS: (1973/74 - 1977 9th, 11th and 12th grades)
Most people who remember me from Santana will either be my friends from Mr. E's electronics class, or those from my Jr. High schools (Carlton Hills and Carlton Oaks) The rest of my time at SHS was pretty anonymous.
Life After High School:

arried shortly after graduation and had my first child in 1980. He grew into quite the man and has settled in Ohio. Sixteen years later I had my second child, and she is another joy in my life. As it goes, many who marry young end up a divorced statistic - I was no exception.
Life Today:
I live in Southern California and just generally try to get along in life, doing what makes me and mine happy while staying out of the way of the bad people. I am engaged to the most wonderful man on the planet - he was WELL worth the wait!
I am a corporate paralegal by day (for 24 years now) and a jewelry designer by night. You can see my creations at ZebraChique.com. My other interests include art photography and video production.
Please feel free to drop me a note if you remember me.
