Louie's Story
After graduating from AHS, I went on to play football at Pasadena CC, then enlisted in the Army 1972. I served in the Republic of South Korea, then Sierra Army Depot where I was promoted to Sergeant.

Worked for the Lassen Sheriff's Department in Big Valley & Westwood, until I transferred to Santa Barbara Sheriff in 1976. I became a Field Training Officer/CSI and was on SEB Team II (SWAT).

We have eight grandchildren. We travel often in our 34' RV, and hope to meet up with old friends from AHS on our travels. I had a rocky senior year at Arcadia HS with the loss of my mother, but I do believe that my Army service and law enforcement service definately straightened me out. I look forward to hearing from old friends.
