Kathy's Story
In HS I was on Drill Team, rank one, right guard 1st year and left guard 2nd year...I was in A Capella Choir, Girls Chorus, Sweet Adelines, Play Prodction, and.......if you remember anything else please remind me, as old age is catching up with my brain. I dated Steve Dundee after graduating, then we grew apart because my mother said he had long hair and she would not allow me to date someone with long hair. OMG she would not be happy in this day and age....then I dated Gary Chandler for a year and after that his brother Jay...whew...a family affair ? No I think not. It was pure conicidence. :)~ I worked as a dog bather at a shop in Van Nuys(The Poodle Puff). One day I decided I wanted to groom dogs so approached a couple of shops and applied to become their groomer and lo and behold they hired me(not knowing I never actually groomed a dog per se) Anyway as it turned out, I was a *natural* at grooming, having watched some of the best do their grooming thing...I learned by watching.

ic by ear...I groomed dogs by *eye* ???? it all worked out and I spent the next 22+ years grooming dogs, showing poodles and other assorted dogs for other people,and being a nomad of sorts. In 1981 I had my son, and when he was 2 years old his father came to pick him up for the weekend and never brought him back. long story short I spent all my savings and time looking for my son for the next 20 years, all over the country(not having any idea where he might have been taken) and never found him. Just when I was about to give up all hope, I one day(at the encouragement of a couple of friends) made a Myspace acct and searched for him there. I sure wish I had looked on there a long time ago because I found him with my very first search. Still living in California(Victorville now) about 50 miles from my last Calif residence. I still have not been able to get out to Calif to visit him but we have been keeping in touch via text message and Myspace....planning a visit there around Christmas time.
