Avis's Story
Avis is married to her college sweetheart whom she met in her 1st year at Davis. Avis' schools include Salinas High School, Hartnell J.C.for 1 year,
U,C. Davis, and Auburn University in Alabama for 1 quarter where she finished the last quarter of her 5th year to get her teaching credential with a major in Spanish and marry Brent who was in the Air Force at the time in Montgomery, Alabama.
She taught Spanish for 1 year in Montgomery.
Then they moved back to Davis so her husband could finish his degree. Avis worked w/migrant ed (using her Spanish), and she also taught remedial reading for 3 years in Dixon (near Davis )where she and her husband lived while he finished his degree and became a banker w/Wells Fargo.) His job moved them to Quincy (in the Plumas national forest) where Avis taught 2nd grade. She loved living in the mountains and rafting and swimming in the Feather River and playing tennis..Then they moved to Gridley where again Brent's job moved them.

in Gridley. Again, Brent's job moved them---this time to Stockton where again she taught Spanish for 3 years. One last time they moved to Walnut Creek where they have lived for 29 years! Finally some roots. During that time they had 3 children. Now they have 2 young grandsons in Chandler,Az (our daughter went to ASU to be w/her boyfriend who was a pitcher for the Sun Devils was going to school at ASU. Like her mom she followed her guy and later got married. She loves AZ. so she never returned to Calif. Since Brent is now retired, we bought a home in Sun Lakes which is 10 minutes away from her and her family so we spend the winter and part of spring there.
She is still playing lots of tennis and played in leagues and the USTA----came very close to going to the national finals for 3.5 players held in AZ! We beat the team that won in our playoffs. Avis would love to know if any of her classmates are now living in the Walnut Creek area or near Phoenix,Az and would like to get together.
