Denise's Story
Life
I moved after High School to the Island of Oahu in Hawaii. I lived there for 5 years. I have a son Ryan who is now 23 and a daughter Kody who is 17.
I moved from Oahu back to California to the High Sierras by Yosemite. Lived there for a year then migrated to Phoenix AZ. I went to The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising after Irvine High (before moving to Hawaii). I Majored in Graphic Design. Re-educated to learn the computer end of design in 1992 in AZ. I worked for a few different companies doing graphics for years then moved into Housing (Housing Director at The Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in AZ) and Real Estate.
I am currently working for The Art Institute of Phoenix .
I'm not really fond of AZ although it has grown alot and gotten much more hip in the last few years with more people, stores and business moving here. I plan to move somewhere - possibly back to Cali or Hawaii, I can transfer eventually- thats the plan right now anyway- ...Expand for more
Maybe back to OC, San Diego area or Hawaii.
My daughter Kody just graduated so we both will be starting new adventures and its exciting! She will attend the Art Institute and is a very talented Photographer.
My son Ryan is an Airdale in the US Navy and stationed in San Diego Coronado Island. He is an Aircraft Structural Mechanic. He has a lil wife and beautiful lil 5 month old son named Elliot.
I am looking forward to talking with old school friends. Drop me a line. I'd love to hear what you all have been up to! Send me your contact info - i'll get back to you. amermaiden at me dot com.
Beach/Summer/School Memories
I remember 32nd St Newport Beach with the girls. Boardwalk beach cruisin. Lived at the beach every summer all day until we HAD to go or be in trouble. Remember the walk over the train bridge to Venado Middle school with the girls. Willow Park- Remember the Teen Center? Loved the Mudd Co. Ceramics and Art. Ms. Jones and Mr. Taylor were the best!
