Kerry Zane:  

Life After high school, I went to San Bernardino Valley College, graduating in 1977 with an AA degree in Criminal Justice. Not quite ready for a career in law enforcement, I enlisted in the Army. I served for seven years, at Fort Hood TX and Frankfurt Germany, honorably discharged in 1984 as a sergeant. I got married in 1985, divorced in 1996. I have four children, three girls and a boy, ranging in ages from 27 to 34; I also have 3 grandchildren: 2 girls, ages 14 and 8, and a boy, 5. My son is autistic. I now work in San Bernardino as a Licensed Vocational Nurse. My oldest daughter graduated from high school in '05, is a US Army veteran, and now works for a tuxedo rental.. My other children moved to Georgia in July 2004; eventually, I'll go out there too. As of 2015, all my kids are in Georgia. In August 1993 I came down with a rather nasty disease: bacterial endocarditis. I was spiking fevers of 104-105. I was hospitalized for a week (in the hospital where I was working at the time), and off work for two months. I had a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line in my arm and was getting IV antibiotics 3-4 times a day at home. That wasn't a lot of fun. Neither was having my mother--an LVN herself--change the dressing on my PICC...right after she smoked a cigarette! March 2016 I developed cellulitis in my leg, and missed work for a month. Thank God for disability insurance! In July 2020, I underwent 8 hours of open heart surgery to replace my mitral and aortic valves. My father died in 1997, and mother in 2003. My latest project is tracing my family tree, especially my mother's; her grandparents all came here from Sweden. School Biggest crush? I won't answer that here. I was rather shy in high school; I never dated, never went to the prom. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 20. Once, in my senior year, my father and I drove up to Lake Silverwood in the driving rain. Dad never learned to stop drinking beer, and we wound up flipping our van over. I was ejected thru the windshield, but my total injuries were a rather minor scratch on my hand. College Can't say much here. I went to SBVC, graduating in 1977 with an AA in Criminal Justice. I had my first exposure to the Scientology cult during this time. Dopey people would come up and say, "Hi! I'm Steve! Wanna rap?" While I was stationed in Germany, I took some classes thru the University of Maryland. My subject? German! Got straight A's, which was far better than the C's and D's I got at Colton fr...Expand for more
