Judy's Story
We have a committee working on our 55 year reunion. It will be Sept. 29 at the Dante Club. Be sure that I have your contact information as we will soon be sending out additional information by email.
After living in San Diego, North Carolina, Tennessee, Guam, and Weed (for the past 14 years), I am moving back to Newcastle to be close to daughter and grandchildren in Lincoln. She is an RN at the Roseville Kaiser. I am retired from teaching, medical administration, and payroll at McClellan. Don't seem to know what I want to be when I grow up!
I am also listed on the Mira Loma site:
I know a lot of students who were at La Sierra as freshmen
Everyone I graduated from Dyer Kelly with went on to Mira Loma

Met Ben James at VA Clinic and married in 1985
At the VA I was on duty when a psych patient walked past me into the rest room and blew his brains out. I decided a job change was in order.

Ben passed away in 1994 so I retired and moved to our house in Weed in 1996
Moved to Newcastle in 2010. The Weed house finally sold in late 2012.
Have lived with a SO since 1996- we have goats and chickens on 10 acres
I am on Facebook as of Christmas, 2011. There are a lot of photo albums, including one labeled "Dyer Kelly" available to friends only. I am on the committee planning the La Sierra 50 year class reunion August 24, 2013.
