Orinda, CA

Peggy's Story

Wow...500 words or less, this is why I was always better at talking than writing! For those who remember me that won't be hard to understand! Well, last seen in Orinda (not really) in Aug 1965,I went south to UCLA with a bunch of us! My folks moved north to Wa state at the same time so I never came back for vacations. Also,not able to afford the tuition I quit school 2 years in and started flying for TWA. 1 year later I married my college sweetheart ( BIG mistake) and moved to Rialto,Ca starting college over at UCR. Separated, and finally divorced, I started my flying career over at Western Airlines. After 8 yrs,I remarried 1980 and moved to SF area. Delta bought WAL in 1987, I continued to fly until 2003, when I took an early retirement offer, which included health care ( thank the good lord!). Within months I was working again for USIS as a field investigator doing background security clearances of individuals for the US govt. In 2005 shortly ...Expand for more
after our last reunion, I went into the hospital with advanced liver disease (an undiagnosed child- hood condition exacerbated by living "La Dolce Vita" and after awhile, I got a new liver. About 16 days after being admitted to CPMC in the city. During my hospital stay, we moved from San Mateo (25 yrs)over to a new sub- division in Brickyard Cove, on the bay and near Point Richmond. I am now retired, collecting ss, and going to school again at the Fromme Institute on the U of Sf campus, where everyone is a senior and all classes are elective! That's the way it should be. I am looking forward to this reunion so very much, as the last one is kind of a blur due how ill I was. For all who are curious, the condition is called 'alpha one anti-tripsin,and I suffered from encephelopathy due to a failing liver. But each day now is a gift, so I try to live in the present, but I'm still looking forward to the reunion and a trip to Paris in Oct. peggy rose
