William's Story

I spent my freshman and sophomore years at Del Mar High in San Jose, part of my junior year at Chinle High School on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, and finally at San Rafael High for the rest of my junior and senior year, where I graduated in 1963. Wgartley at dslextreme dot com. Del Mar memories: Marching band with Mr. Evans and the guy who marched behind me and kept poking me in the back with his trombone - thanks - I still have those slider impressions on my back!. Going steady with Janet Lear. Hanging out with my good friends and camping buddies, Mike Chamberlain and Larry Raynor. Having to sweep the hallways every morning before classes as Mr. Allman's punishment for my unfortunate and misguided choices. Good times. San Rafael memories: Marching next to my flute-playing good friends, Jim Focht, Sandy Schwarz, and Lynne Honsinger in Mr. Stanley's marching band. The dances with Carolyn Grissom, Maureen Callahan, and Shirley Cowan...Expand for more
- I've never forgotten you. The truly soul inspiring Mrs. Anthony who sparked a fire in me for literature and writing that still burns brightly. Thank you all for shaping me and making me the person I am today. In 1966, I started working for United Artists Theatres and continued in the theatre business until I retired in 2010. While working as a theatre manager, I continued to put myself through college and achieved a BS degree in Business Administration from Long Beach State, and then an MA in English Literature from Fullerton State. I was a part-time English Instructor for Riverside Community College for eleven years, as a second job to my theatre career. I married Sherry in 1969 and we just celebrated our 44th anniversary. We adopted two children along the way. We've lived in Oakland, Sacramento, Chicago, Torrance, Los Alamitos, Yorba Linda, Riverside, and Corona, where we still reside. We will try to attend the September reunions.
