I am Secretary for California Job's Daughters Foundation and continue to work with local Job's Daughter Bethels. Any one remember Bethel No 297?

I have 4 children, Michelle in CA, Curtiss in Utah, Christopher in CA, and Nicholas in South Dakota. Been blessed with 4 grand children 3 boys and two girls from 21 to 4 years old.

My daughter was born while we were living in the little house on Coast Highway 1 where the road to the lighthouse takes off just before the s-curves and flat.
