Denise's Story
HI, here's an attempt to my story: After graduating Glendora High in '70 (a year early) I left for France. I stayed on the Cote D'Azur (Nice), with my family for awhile than hitch hiked thru out Europe. I ended up in Paris, living there for a few years while attending L'Universite de Catholique, and working with an interior decorator. I had the time of my life in Europe until the "Energy Crisis" hit. In France, one had to prove they received income from their home country, or prove no other Frenchman could replace them on their job, or marry. Well, I could not prove the first two, and I was not ready to marry Jean-Yves (my boyfriend); so I came home in 1975. Unfortunately, I lost contact with all my hometown friends during this time.
Then Jean-Yves followed me shortly after...was not employed within 6 months, so we married so he could stay with me in the States. He found a job shortly thereafter. He was a musician (a very good one). Then I met Bobby Bradbury...married. We lived in North Hollywood for awhile, San Diego.., Desert Hot Springs, then bought a home in Palm Desert.
Then I met Gene Weston, we moved to Colorado Springs, CO. We had a child...Gene died...then I moved to Pocatello, Idaho for a short while (near my brother), then Redding, CA. To this point, I'm still in the restaurant business & sales. I'm bartending at "The Post Office Saloon", selling Real Estate and cars at Miller Olds Cadillac, and enrolled in...Expand for more
to Shasta College, majoring in Electronics.
I was accepted in 1986 to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, enrolled in Electronic Engineering; nobody smiled enough for me, so I switched to Industrial Technology with a minor in Electronics. Everyone was friendlier! I graduated in 1990 with another child (Aaron). If you think raising two boys alone, while taking 12+ units, and bartending nights is hard...try finding a career while working & raising two boys; this is even harder. Anyway, I was a "Head Hunter for awhile on Wilshire, while living in Torrance, then moved to Clovis...then to the East Coast...Louisiana...then back to Los Osos (San Luis Obispo). Became an Account Rep. for Kelly Services; running both their offices in San Luis Obispo & Santa Maria...worked for Bob Mann Golf for awhile.... Since 1997 I've lived in the Sacramento area. After years of technical sales, I became an electrician (physical labor was good)then got hurt on the job and for the last 7 years I've been substituting for Placer County, while renting rooms. I now have a 6 bedroom home & rent 4 of the rooms. Lived here for almost 7 years now. It works out pretty well; I like to consider myself semi-retired.
Anyway, I have been a single parent for 27 years with 3 short relationships. I found it much easier just supporting me & my two boys. I know, I always chose the "FUN" guys.
Well it has been an adventure. And it is great talking to some of you now.
