Sam's Story
Life,
I've resisted joining this site for years, because I thought it another site that would sell email addresses and push more spam my way. Candidely, I finally gave in when I saw a class mates' posting and wanted to find out what has happened to them over the last 39 years.
I joined the Corona PD right out of high school and worked (minus a short stint at the Sheriff's Department) for Corona PD for 29 + years.
I married Charlene in 1990 having stayed single for 38 years; finally took the plunge. I went from bachelor to grandpa in one "I do"! Grandchilden are one of life's true treasures, ah but they do grow up.
Many of you knew my mother as she held political office in the mid 70's. She succumed to cancel in 1992. My father, Herb is still living in Corona and active in the community at the young age of 85. Brother Bob is married to Karen and they have 5 children ranging in age from 19 -24. Bob is the CEO of the Corona Chamber of Com...Expand for more
merce and his wife Karen is currently Mayor of Corona and was recently relected to her second term on the City Council.
In April 2001 I took the job of Police Chief in the City of Folsom. My position here has provided me with opportunities to work on many issues affecting our City, region and State. It has been an exciting and rewarding career. In April 2006, I was tasked with being the interim City Manager for six months, while the City did a nationwide recruitment for a new City Manager. That ended the middle of October and I returned back to a "slower pace" typical of a Police Chief.
As life ebbs and flows, unfortunately after 17 years of marriage (the majority of it pretty good) and 23 years together Charlene and I serperated in 2007 and were divorced in 2008.
While it has been an adjustment, both personally and financially, life is reasonably good.
My best to those of you joining this and look forward to hearing from you.
