John's Story

Life I was married for 42 years. Karen was a class act & a Lady, 2 daughters, 2 grandson who are the light of my life. While at Norte was quiet, scared of my shadow, shy & feared all things female. I didn't date much. I was a very late bloomer, i.e. after high school I joined the Air Force (the following Monday after graduation and was gone for the next 10 years. Met my Karen while stationed in Tucson AZ (Class of 68). I then joined the Navy (Long story), went into the Submarine Service & was stationed in San Diego. Our 1st daugher was born in 70 & I shipped out the next day to Viet Nam. After the Navy, went to the San DIego Police Academy, was a cop for a couple of years in El Cajon. We decided that after 10 years in uniform enough. I went to CSU Sacramento, with wife (2) daughters. It was rough but some how I got a B.A., class of 77.

After our daughters grad from H.S. we moved to Folsom & lived there for the next 15 yrs. I was the victim of cut backs (3 in a row) & was forced to retire early. Sold our beloved home, Karen then became sick & became a care giver until she passed away. After she passed was & still am a bit in shock, moved to Santa Rosa (Sonoma Co) and currently lived with my oldest daughter and son-in-law. I have been her since last July. I am still trying to find my way & a purpose. My grandson's keep my smiling & are the light of my life. I could not have asked for a more wonderful, beautiful and loving partner then my Royal Druid Beauty Karen. I miss her.
