Dennis's Story

Life My life is filled with family, I have been married twice. Donna and I have been together for 30 years. We have 3 grown children and 4 grandchilden. We enjoyed Scuba Diving for our hobby and have been all over the Caribean and South America. In particular I liked diving sunken ships. My life since graduation has had its turmoil, but I have had a very blessed life. I remember great times with Joanne Marquez, Alice Solomon, Dave Haas, Russ Fleischauer and many many others. Donna retired from Social Work in 2001 due to muscular dystrophy and is now a published wildlife photographer. We have all kinds of critters big and small. In 2008 I retired to our 22 acres in East Texas. Our driveway is 1/4 mile long and it is 8 miles to town. Our latest excitement came with Hurricane Ike when "Ike" the dog adopted us. She is a Blue Healer about a year old and is great. 2009 Update: I attended the reunion but being gone from California since 1973 made me a stranger among friends. In my "Senior Moment" trip I stopped in Phoenix, Buena Park, Laguna Hills and San Marcos to see my most important friends from the past. It was great! I was disappointed not to see Dave Haas but he had to leave on an assignment to Kuwait so I missed him. But I had a wonderful visit with Debbie ...Expand for more
and their family. It was great! I was really amazed at how much Westminster had changes but it had been a few years. I worked on the construction of the Westminster Mall and it looks really good for it's age. But don't we all. Oh but back to the wilds of East Texas with #47 looking in the back door. #47 is one of the neighbors cattle who seem to be able to find her way through the fence and eat my green grass. Got to love it! 2010 Update: We finally are getting our place in shape! The house is complete and landscaped. We had our first annual gathering with family, friends and neighbors last weekend. Some of the "young ones" partied until 3 a.m. howling at the moon. We slept through most of it! We are planning to completely "retire" in October, what a stressor. We're trying to figure out what our next career might be. Sitting on the porch is not an option. UPDATE 6-22-01 Donna and I took our Grandaughters to see Toy Story 3 this weekend and we were talking about how great the animation has evolved. I told her about how my Dad worked on the electrical controls for the underwater Hippo's in the Safari ride at Disneyland and how our family got to go to the opening of Disneyland because of that. I never realized just how big this really was! Check out my Facebook page!
