Janet's Story

Hi Gang! Isn't this fun? I am so interested in where we all ended up. After PHS, I went to Sonoma State for a year (my folks thought I was too young to go away....Then went to Sac State for 3 years. I studied human biology, specializing in Medical Technology. I married a fellow student in '68. The marriage lasted 5 years. What a time in the world that was! Hippies, Vietnam, Communes.... After getting my degree, I went into training to be a Medical Technologist, got my license and went to work. I have lived in Merced, Concord, and currently, Humboldt County, where I landed in the early 70's at the ripe old age of 25. I love this place,and live a nice lifestyle here. My husband is a Forester, and we have a Christmas Tree farm on 40 acres overlooking Humboldt Bay, the Eel river valley and the Ocean south of the Bay's entrance. I work at Redwood Memorial Hospital as a CLS (Clinical Laboratory Scientist). That is a field that has changed over the year...Expand for more
s with technology! Our kids have grown up and moved on,(3, one mine, two his, 2 granddaughters) so our family now consists of a Cardigan Corgi(Tootsie)and a Rott-shepard cross (Morgana). We like to take our travel trailer on road trips, especially to somewhere with water (lake, river, or stream). I would like to hear from any of you, find out how you came to be where you are now..remembrances..Whatever Here's the update! My son and new wife Jessica have become parents, making me a grandma! His entry into the world wasn't an easy one, but he has lots of family to give he and his parents lots of love and support. They live in Petaluma (ever heard of it?) so I get to go to the old stomping grounds and walk down memory lane. And hold a new baby! My son was kind enough to wait until I was ready to be a grandparent. Now that I am looking at retirement, I will be able to spend some time enjoying my new role. Hope you are all doing well.
