Catherine's Story
Craig and I celebrated our 38 wedding anniversary this year. However, we have been together for 40 on Jan 3, 2017. Craig and I both were married before. I was married before for 5.5 yrs and Craig was married for 7 years prior to our getting together. We had to test the waters first before taking the second plunge. But we are very happy we took the plunge.
Craig and I now have 3 children and 1 grandson. We lost our youngest son Don in 1989 while living in WoodBridge,VA. We have now live in Northern California for the past 27 years. Craig retired in 1993 after 24 yrs, He was a Senior Navy Supply Corp Commander. But now works for a non-profit organization called NISH for the past 16 yrs. He is the Director of new business in the west region. Myself, I haven't worked since 1986, But when I did work I worked for the Navy Supply Center in Oakland, CA in the Household Goods Dept setting up moves for the members and their families.
Craig and I are both Black Belts in Kajukenbo Karate a American style Karate that started in Hawaii. We also do Shotokan Karate, a Japanese style, Craig is a 3rd degree Black belt in Kajukenbo and a black belt in Shotokan karate also. We own and run a small Martial Arts School which we run out of our Churches Social hall on Thursdays and Sundays at the United Methodist Church here in ou...Expand for more

My other hobbies besides Martial Arts, and besides doing National and community Tournaments and being Divison Champ in both Kajukenbo and Shotokan styles for my age group for the past 6 years. I stll sing, And am part of our Churches Choir. I also work on family genealogy when I find the time with my busy schedule. I am also a Photographer and have taken College courses. And,I continue to pursue my education thru the local community colleges here in the Bay area.
We have one Son that lives in Groton, CT. Another Son and Grandson that lives in Kona, Hi and a Daughter that lives here in the bay area.
Not sure if you knew that my Dad, Don Bogue, passed away back in July 1986. Unfortunately he died to young, age 62. And surprisingly, my Mom, Billie Bogue is still living, has moved from Ct., 11 years ago, she moved back to her roots in Georgia. To be closer to her 3 siblings. She still actually looks pretty good for her age of 84. Guess theres hope for me looking as good,if I live that long.
Update: 2023 my life changed with the loss of my dear husband Craig. We were together 47 yrs.
Ill be starting a new life new adventure as I will be moving to the mid west later this year. My best friend is there who is also a cousin. So I will have someone close by. I'm excited but nervous about this change.
