Peter's Story

Who knew High School had so little to do with what you would become, and what the balance of your life would hold? I spent the last two years between Edison and MVHS in the Bricklaying classes at Edison and 3 R's at MVHS, and ended up a Systems Programmer in Mainframe Computer Systems on The Coast working for one of the Hearst Newspapers. The largest in San Francisco. Twenty years with the paper out of a 30 year career out here. Now my health is in a declining state, I am no longer able to work. Life is like a box o' Chocolates!! I have spoken with Karen Buzwell "Buzzy" since school, but that's about it, and that was in the 80's via long distance phone call. Donny Cox and his family rescued me when I was about to drop out of school and leave home, and made sure that I staid with them and completed my 12th year. A genuinely great family that I never got a chance to really thank, but who are forever in this man's prayers. I am a father of one young man nearly 20 and one princess, 18, and a husband of 22 years (in 2010), and for that time I measure my wealth by the happiness of this group. Now both of my children are finished...Expand for more
with High school, as my daughter is 2 weeks from graduation. My son in college, and my daughter already registered for the fall. I continually tell my daughter, don't worry about Prom, or Homecoming, if they don't go according to desire in High School, once you become an adult, let that drive you to go to the Black and White Ball on New Years Eve with your love of the moment, but don't waste time on regrets. Regrets are the roadblocks of life. Those things that didn't turn out as planned in High School (a minute out of your entire life in the grand scheme) let them be the rehearsal for later performances where you shine. I would change my ability to see in the moment how people affected me, and I them. So many people supported my many successes I may never be able to thank. So I send those thanks out into the ether in this manner, Karma floating around hoping these thoughts of love and thanks land on you, in your hour, or moment of need. We are all symbiotic and I therefore thank you all for being part of me!! Be well. Be Happy. Big or small life, seek contentment with very little. That I believe is the secret of life.
