James's Story
Life
After graduation I had a couple of go nowhere jobs. I went into the Marine Corps in september 1970 and got out in 1972. Started college and worked in the glass industry right out of the service. I have been in the glass business ever since. The last 21 years with the Los Angeles Unified School District. I've also been in and out of college ever since. Started working with computers about 20 years ago and now in addition to my management duties with the LAUSD, I am an IT Project Manager and oversee 20 computer networks within the district.
How in the world did I become a Grandfather? (14 times) I'm still a kid myself.
Just retired...Expand for more
from the LAUSD on 12/31/09.
Fast forward 5 years and here I am a GREAT Grandfather. 2 already (1 boy 1 girl) and the 3rd is due in June. (Another girl)
2016 update - I now have 4 great grand children as of March 2nd. 3 girls and 1 boy. :-) (I'm lovin' it!!!)
Unfortunately, February 27, 2016, my wife (Caryn Reading, also class of '69) passed away after a long battle with COPD. I know she's in a better place.
As of July 17, 2018 I am now a Great Grandfather to 5. 3 girls and 2 boys.
Life is great!
The adventure continues....
