We lived for 27 years in Laguna Beach and moved to Long Beach, four blocks from where we met on a blind date June 16th, 1963. Moved in 2005 to L.A. Short walk to Farmer's Market, LA Cnty Art and Peterson Auto Museums. Our first grandchild, Karl, was born August of2006. He's a genius. Our second, Simone, was born August of 2008; she's gorgeous. Life is good. Spent 2013 in chemo and recovering from Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer). Also need to remove upper lobe of right lung; no cancer there.
