Peni Dawes:  

Hello from Peni..... My maiden name was McCallum. Right out of high school, I married Larry Fischer. We were together a few years too long and then went our own directions. I met a wonderful gentleman, became bestest friends in the whole world, grew to be soulmates and married in 1989. I have 3 truly awesome Fischer kids; Tameralee, Charles Anthony (Tony), and Larry Todd (Todd)...I also helped raise John's three children Kelly, John Jr. and Shannon....we are quite the huge family, but holidays are wonderfully hilarious. I have been in Upper Management, Executive management, Accounting, HR, Business Administrator, Director of Administrative Services in Locked Mental Health Facilities, Business Owner of Bicycle & XGaxes sporting goods shop and so after many choices in professions I became the General Manager of a resort at Lake Berryessa which turned out to be my professional passion.... until the corporation sold, new owners had their own management crew and then the Bureau of Reclamation and BLM shut all the Northside Lake Berryessa resorts down two years after I left....... I have taken on a couple other commitments working until 2008 and since then I have just taken the time for myself, my wonderful husband, goregeous little Shitzu (Lady Gretchen of Dawes) and the kids and grandbabies.... I would love to pick up a little side job to occupy my time. I am not cut out to retire full time. Its making me crazy.....hummmmm! That is about the summary of me. Alot more I could detail, but I don't usually.... If you have the time and would like to reconnect, just let me know....I enjoyed high school and all the friends I swore I would never lose contact with......slowly I am finding quite a few friends...so...my story is to be continued.... I always wanted to be a loved person when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was an awesome idea. As it turns out, they were right for the most part, my family and friends have made my wishes, dreams and desires come true. I let off steam or work out my problems by taking Lady Gretchen to the park and watch her play in the grass If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have understanding of, policies, and procedures to be able to deal with the day-to-day. My Dad is my hero. His honesty & respectful approach has stuck in my mind for as long as I can remember The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again ...Expand for more
