John Hatten:  

Life I survived 12 years of Catholic school, then went to El Camino College, followed by CSUF to get a B.S. in P.E. In 1973, I had a very serious construction accident and was in a coma for 2 weeks. It took 15 years for me to "come back", and since then I've continued to improve. I'm now working with people with brain injury to help them improve cognitively, adjust to their losses and then get working. I'm married to a wonderful woman, Shirley; have a step-daughter Amy and 2 grandchildren, Elizabeth (21) and Ashley (8). I live in the central Richmond district of San Francisco and love it here. I also volunteer for "Rock Medicine" a program of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics: we set up *MASH* stations at large events (mostly music events) and we deal with the patrons who need help. Shirley and I work the "Space Station", talking down people who have had too much (excitement, crowd anxiety, alcohol, and all manner of substances). We get the best stories: completely unbelievable things happen in Rock Med and we love it. We also took our first cruise to Alaska: spectacular! I hope you are all well. School Preschool/kindergarten at Hermosa View School; grammar school at American Martyrs; high school at Bishop Montgomery [with a summer class in auto mechanics at El Camino College): I took French for 3 years (remember little)]; a semester vacation, then to El Camino College with coursework in Math, Physical Education and Auto Mechanics and Auto Body; then to C.S.U.F. for a Bachelors in Physical Education. In 1978, I went to Bowling Green State University for my Master of Rehabilitation Counseling degree from 1978-1980. I also took classes in Sign Language (remember little). From 1986-1990, I earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology. I took a course in Auto Body and 2 classes in Portugeuse [remember little: is there a pattern here? 8-) ] I always wanted to be a scientist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. ...Expand for more
