Dave's Story
Life
I went to Venice High the last semester and I didn't attend a graduation ceremony so I don't know if the record says I graduated from Venice High or Uni High. After graduation I went to Cal State Northridge for 1 year and then decided to go to trade school where I got an associates electronics tech degree. During that time
I rented a room in an old house near downtown L.A. for
$50.00 a month !
I worked as a tech until 1985, doing a stint in the Peace Corps in Tonga, So. Pacific, from 1977 to 1980. In 1985 I went back to Cal State, Northridge, and got a masters degree in applied physics.

ed a Tongan girl and we had 3 kids, 2 sons and a daughter, two of whom have their own kids now. I live in the Bay Area of CA and work at UCBerkeley as an engineer in a research lab. I enjoy my work very much.
My life style is sort of blue-collar intellectual with a little beatnik. I'm currently car-less and ride a bike or walk most of the time and use the local subway system
which is very convenient. That reminds me of, at Uni, after school, going along Barrington up to Wilshire and waiting for the bus to go home, that sometimes I'd hitchhike home when the bus was slow getting there. I met some interesting people doing that.
