Janet's Story

I attended kindergarten at San Jose Elementary School in Pomona and had Miss Nesbit as my teacher. For anyone that went to Kindergarten in the early 60s or before will remember Miss Estelle Nesbit. I attended OLA from 1st thru 4th grade. Father Barry was the pastor at the school during the time that I attended and before him it was Father Strange. We had the benedictan nuns from the nunnery located near St. Lucy's Priory. I believe my 4th grade teacher was Linden, a lay person. My maiden name is York and I have 2 older brothers (Duke and Dan) and an older sister (Vicki) who also attended OLA in the 1960s. I went back to San Jose Elementary School for 5th and 6th grade, it was there that I discovered my strength in Math. Our family moved up to Sonora, CA when my mom who was a widow got married. I attended Sonora Elementary school for 7th and 8...Expand for more
th grade. My graduation picture was taken in front of the Dome in Sonora, which had been condemned a few years earlier, before I arrived in Sonora. I went on to Sonora High School and graduated in 1973. I have fond memories of my Chemistry class with Mr. Lemon and continued to excel in Math. I am married and have 3 grown boys. As my kids were growing up I got very involved in Soccer; I played, referreed, and coached all three boys. I was probably one of the first women coaches for a boys team at the Walnut AYSO. When my boys got into high school they switched to wrestling, so I got heavily involved in that. My son Corey was a State Champ in 2005 representing Mt. San Antonio College. I worked 28 years at Con Agra Foods, formerly Hunt-Wesson, using my Chemical Engineering degree that I recieved in 1979 at Cal Poly Pomona. I live in Walnut, CA.
