Bill's Story
Aug. 20 2012
WOW! 50 years just around the corner. What's happened in 50 yrs. Me, went to Palomar for two yrs, got drafted in 68*, worked in Escondido until 81 moved to Washington, been here since. Married in 71 to an Escondido gal (Pam) she worked in Ramona at Bank of Am in the late 70's some of you may have know her then. We moved to Whidbey Island near Everett WA. I work in real estate and currently own a small office that is in the process of being closed as we all retire, I'm very close to calling it quits, as the business sucks these days. We have one daughter, 25, who is a grad of Washington State University (Go Cougs). I keep in touch with Steve Ferguson, Dick and Bev Clauser and Paul Uribe.

* The * on my being drafted. I got so lucky. I was injured in basic training and got out in two months. The company I trained in was all from San Diego county and several didn't survive the service. I count my blessing over that one often.
I would like to write the whole 20,500 characters that this site allows but don't have the talent to do it in an entertaining style. I hope some of the classmates do write their stories.
SEE EVERYONE IN 2015
