Darrell's Story
After graduating from Bal in 1958, I attended UC Berkeley, CCSF, and UC Berkeley again, getting my B.A. in Latin American History in 1963. I married my first wife and we eventually had two kids, Marc, who lives in Florida now and Tod, who lives in Brooklyn NY.
I worked for the State Compensation Insurance Fund as a Claims Adjuster/Program Staffer from 1963 to 1967. I attended UC Davis from 1967 to 1969, earning an M.A. in Latin American History. I then attended Yale University from 1969 to 1974, receiving my PHD in the same field. I taught Latin American history at Florida State University in Tallahassee (1974-2000). I have written two books and several scholarly articles.

fortunately, my first marriage ended in divorce in 1982. I married for the second time, to the former Lavon Gappa, now Lavon Gappa-Levi, in 1994. We have a great marriage, and share interests in gardening, reading, walking, and travel. In recent years we have visited Sicily, Italy, Russia, Spain, and Portugal.
I retired in 2000 and moved to Prescott, Arizona in 2001. We have a lovely custom-built home among the boulders and ponderosa pines. We don't have pets, but javelinas, deer, racoons, the occasional bobcat, lizards, and many types of birds are our "friends" outside.
My main hobbies are HO model railroading and golf (I average 102 and am not using the senior tees yet!).
