Virgil "Don"'s Story
In 1962-1963 I did Kindergarten at Laurel School in Santa Cruz, 1963-1969 I was first through sixth grade at Rio Del Mar Elementary School in Aptos. 1969-1971 was Junior High at Aptos Junior High (the older campus off Trout Gulch), and then it was off to High School ...
Aptos High School was 1971 through 1975 (Class of 75), 9th through 12th. During High School I kept working for my father at K&T Trucking and Cabrillo Sand & Gravel. Then I joined the United States Marine Corps, Active & Reserve, made it to SSgt (E-6). Back at home I drove trucks for my father, and started working Security, was one of the first Security Officers at Watsonville Hospital ... where I met a great person, Kitty, who I married.

ried, son is still on the market. Both of them went to Harbor High, both went to Cabrillo, and UCSC. I became a Sheriff's Deputy for Santa Cruz County, working for over 30 years, was forced out on a medical retirement due to work injuries. I missed that nice reunion the class of 75 had and also later the combined class reunion, due to having had surgeries and then recovery, due to my work related injuries. Long story, but drunk drivers are the cause of the two major injuries I received while working.
I signed up here back in the late 1980's or early 1990's, I do not know why Classmates deleted prior information, I went to check in here now (2016) and the prior profile is gone and it made me a new member. It is nice to see everyone's postings and stories.
