Kim's Story

BOY... I wish there was a camera that took 15 years off of your face... 15 pounds off of your body and 15 inches off of your waist!!! I really don't like photos of me, but this is what I have to share ... After high school, I started work at the local newspaper, The Sun-Tribune. Next came marriage in 1981 to Bret Watkins, from Oakland. I tried my own business of teaching exercise, doing day care and working in a print shop. The opportunity arose to buy one of the local video stores and we jumped on it. We bought the store in 1993 and called it Wally World Video. (Yep, kinda based on the National Lampoon's movie Vacation) - But the original owner was named Wally too. Bret and I had a daughter Danyal in 1986. We raised her and ran the business and kept busy the whole time. I have been VERY busy with my video store business and have just expanded. Danyal just moved out on her own about a year ago. She is a graphic design art...Expand for more
ist and has purchased a business and moved it into the building of the video store. She does a wonderful job (proud mom) and is still learning the whole running a business process. Bret and I have lived in Oakland for the past 20 years and have not strayed from this area. This is home and we love it here. To many others it seems too slow paced and really boring. I'll take this pace over a larger city any day. I enjoy knowing most of the people in town and am satisfied with greeting them on a first name basis. You can't get that in a larger town or city. I enjoyed the 5 year, 10 year and 20 year and 30 year reunions and am looking forward to planning the 50TH BIRTHDAY BASH in 2010. It would be nice to meet again while most of us are still around and share our stories and catch up on the last 2 years since the reunion. Please feel free to leave me a note and I will gladly get back to you. - Take care and keep in touch - Kim
