William (Bill)'s Story
I am still retired. 5 children, only son was killed in a auto accident December 11, 1977. Still miss him and I don't think I will ever stop. He was a great kid, gone at 21......
I have 11 grandchildren from 4 daughters. The oldest grandchild is 26, and the youngest is 8.
Retirement pay is still the same and everything else goes up.
Three children by first wife, Jeanette Castro, she went to Bellmont. We married to young, rather I was to wild. She did give me three wonderful children, and a very bad time. LOL
I am now married to the same woman, Judy, she went to Huntington Park High and George Washington High (2nd wife) 40 years next January, 2010. She is a keeper, since she continues to put up with me. That is quite a job!

et to you, no matter how long it has been since you quit.
This last December 10, 2008, The big C, was found in my left lung, they had to take the upper portion of my lung. However, I am now cancer free, no chemo, no radiation. Just a big favor from the man up stairs.
Yes, it is a real miracle, that everyone was praying for, and a new lease on life
for me.
I hope I am remembered as the "no good kid, who turned into a good man. It was a combination of My Savior, My Wives, (yes wives,) as the first one led the second one to Our Lord, and the second one led me to the Church, where God found me, even though I was hiding. My Children, and My Long Time Friends, had a lot to do with my success story too.
Now there is the update they (classmates) have been after me to write.
Take care all of you who bothered to read this.
