Barbara's Story
Graduated Vena, Pacoima Jr. High, Poly and Valley College. Worked as a Security/Store Detective for Orbach's, Fedmart, Bullocks Sherman Oaks, Tower Records and West Coast Detectives. Then as a book keeper for various companies. Not many of you may remember I regularly crewed for my dad in sailboat races at Marina Del Rey and various other related events with the SFValley Sailing Club. I even did my 12th grade English oral report on "How to race a sailboat" way back then. Married in January '82 to James Capodieci (who graduated Kennedy '76) and continues to work for the Walt Disney Studios as a Fire Captain. Enjoyed having a wedding photography business together on the side for a few years back when film was a thing. We have two daughters. Many years in LA Valley College Choirs including Chamber Singers.

p from 1987-95 and Christmas at hospitals and parties. Was in the LA 1984 Olympic opening ceremony Honor Choir (way up at the peristyle). That was truly an honor and a fun memory. Went to the Poly's 10 year reunion with my friend Jerry Clausen whom I also sang with, (on a dare). I am still married to James and my autistic daughter lives with us. I was very active in the Chrysler classic car club back in the 80's and still have our 71 Dodge Challengers. Life has been pretty good but I did have minor issues with cancer last year but now all are gone.
I didn't think I would, but I miss the good times from school and all of you. We live in North Hills, CA and at present, 65 and relatively healthy. No grandchildren at this time.
Please drop me a note and I can catch up with you. You'd be surprised who and what I remember from school times.
