John's Story

Life Hi Gang:) Many of use are on facebook I am am under John A. Craig. I remember our junior year when I had a English class with Mrs Montgomery remarked "Craig is a nice english name" I wish I had answered: " I'm not of English background but Scottish" from Braveheart: I have issues with Longshanks the English king lol. I graduated from Whittier College 1976 Major in History and business minor and Art. In 08/80 started working at Whittier College as Federal Student Loan Coordinator promoted to Paymaster 4 months later 01/1981 for Whittier College and Whittier College School of Law and worked there until I quit in 08/97. Moved to Thousand Oaks/WestLake Village, Then to Santa Barbara 9 months, Then to Sunnyvale 09/1988 to 07/31/1997 then finally here to Antioch 08/01/1997 in East Bay Delta across rivers from Napa and Sonoma and I hour east from San Francisco. I have worked in Silcon Valley at these well known companies: Cisco Systems, Lockheed Martin, Cadence Design Systems, Sun Micro Systems, Siemans Rolm. Asyst Tech, and at Clorox HQ in Oakland. Made more money on one stock in 1999 of one company I worked for in High Tech in Fremont, Ca as a Payroll Accountant from 1996-1997 than ever working any one year of the last 30 years. Bought lots of it's stock on line over my home computer in 1998-1999 (yes an on line trader:) sold all of it on 12/04/1999. Bought brand New house on hill in Antioch in 1997. Can see Sacramento River and San Joaquan River,Napa, Sonoma, wine country across river to the north and my beloved High Sierras to north east from my family room. I want to someday build custom built 5,000 sq. ft. home on a hill with Oak trees and view in a few years. Trying to figure out how to avoid long commute to Silicon Valley by car or San Francisco on Bart for work:( 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours each way on road Ugh!:( Thinking of doing what I really would love to do and be a landscape photographer and travel from spring to fall taking pics:) Over being shy or thinking no Lady could or would or was ever attracted to me. But I am selective in who I would date. By the way in case any of you were trying to figure out where Antioch is. It is in the East Bay 1/2 hour East or 22 miles from Walnut Creek off hwy 4 or 40 miles west of Stockton off hwy 4. If any of you used to go to Dr. Yudelson= orthodontist for Braces. You knew our Mom Altha Omega Craig th...Expand for more
e nice lady in office who was recepionist/bookkeeper. She passed away 02/20/2002 at age 86 at assisted living care home in Thousand Oaks near my sister's home in Westlake Village. I spent 2 weeks by her side after she had her stroke when she was in hospital 2 years earlier in May 2000. She recoverd fast from stroke within days. Do as many things as you can with loves ones the little things count Life is fleeting short. PS Blonde standing to your left is my beloved older sister Sandra Marie or "Sis" 15 years older than I who sometimes calls me a "silly goose" and our niece Amy in front at Deb Ball in and our mom your right in 11/1988:) From Highlander the song "Who wants to Live forver?" Braveheart: "They may take our lives but never our Freedom!" From Kindom of Heaven: "Be without fear in face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth even if it leads to your death. Safe guard the helpless that is your Oath." "We fight for the people's safety and Freedom!" "Is Amercia worth one good mans Life? We believed it once make us believe it again" "He was a soldier of Amercia honor Him" They fight out of hate to enslave and force us to convert to islam and obey islamic law or die. We are infidels to them. From the movie Pearl Harbor: Are all Yanks as anxious to get themselves killed as you Pilot Officer?" "Not anxious to die Sir" "Just anxious to matter" "If there are many more like you back home" "God help anyone that dares goes to War with America" Love Enya music, highlander, flying videos, Patriot movie. The only grandparent I ever knew was our Dads mom our grandmother maided name Maria Johanna Von Leuchsenring born in 1875. She died when I was just over 2 years old in 1956. Her family orginally came from Austria. I have family tree from my Great Grandfather back to Hans Deck Ritter Von Leuchsenring and they had to flee to state of Baden/Germany during for supporting Martin Luther against the Catholic Church. I am mut mix on Dad's side of Scottish, French, German, Austrian, and Jewish. Mom's side Cherokee, Chicasaw, Choctaw Indian, and English. I been working in San Francisco I take bart to Montgomery street then bus up Geary to work. I am on face b as John A Craig. I am ruthlesssamuria spelled wrong with "I" before "A" on yah oo read profile and see pics. I pray for Happiness & Love in all your lives. John Craig:)
