After graduation from Rubidoux in 1970. I went to RCC for one year.During this time I worked at Riverside County Hospital as a nurse's aide. Got married in 1971 to Mike Cook who is a a Rubidoux graduate from 1969.Had a son in 1973. Stayed home with him until he went to kindergarden. Then I became a Teacher's aide. We moved to Las Vegas in 1979 for five years. I really missed family in Ca., so we moved back in 1984. I continued to work for the school district and also went to work for the County of San Bernardino, working with seniors in thier homes. Have continued to do this work until present time. I am semi retired now. My greatest joy in life is helping other's. I also belong to the American Legion and have been in the ladies Aux. for six years. I am marshal and asst. 2nd vice for ladies aux.

lmost 6 and our new granddaughter who is 3 now.Boys just graduated from Kindergarden to 1st. grade on 6/1/11. So proud of them. Life is good !!!! Send me a note anytime.
I had some real good friends at Rubidoux. High school was my life back then. I had a terrible step dad and so I put my all into Rubidoux!!!!!!! I really enjoyed Choir, science classes. Mr. Needam, Hinton , Summer's, Ross, Hornsby were some of my favs. Had the best time also working in the office assisting Marge Engelauf and Bert Trejo and working at the swichboard!!!!!! My husband and I still attend the Rubidoux Football games, and see a few old classmates there. Life was sweet at good ole Rubidoux. Go Falcons!!!!!!!!
I always wanted to be a Nurse when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were right.
I blow off steam,
By volunteering at my American Legion. I'm 2nd Vice there.
My current age is 58 When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old. I was so completely wrong.
I do have several certificates from all the volunteering hours I do at the American Legion.
