Gilda Lusby:  

Life. In my young life I spent my years traveling to many schools as my dad was a foreman or superintendent of Highway Construction with Granite Constr. Co and others. We didn't settle down until I was in 7th grade. At times I spent 4th, 5th or 6th grades at least twice at other schools. I was a construction brat! From Branciforte Jr High thru Santa Cruz High I attended all in Santa Cruz. I met and married a local man with 2 young sons who made up our family. Don was born and spent most of his younger life in Santa Cruz. I worked and retired from the telephone company, first with PT&T then Pacific Bell who we know now as AT&T. My teenage years were either spent as a baby sitter, picking berries or fruit in Napa to working for the Whiting Family at the boardwalk along with some of my other classmates. A great and fun job on the SC Beach and Boardwalk. I retired from work in 1985 and when Don from class of "48" retired from being an auto mechanic, we moved up to Sacramento area with my sister, brother-in-law and my niece. We spent a season working for California State Parks and Recreation working up at Lake Oroville as Campground Host's. It was a fun job for me and I met lots of people who came in to the campground. We were asked by our Ranger friend to go to Burney Falls...Expand for more
