Charles's Story
School
School. Gosh. I was the fat kid at Bel Aire, and throughout junior high. Too smart and not at all athletic, friendly outcast, into ham radio and a lot of books.
Fortunately I got better. High school, at Redwood High in Larkspur, was a blast. After a senior year as an exchange student at Highland Park High in New Jersey, I graduated in 1975, a month after my 17th birthday.
College
Hi all! After 2 years in College of Marin, I ended up at U C Berkeley, headed for an Astrophysics major. Alas, the state recertified a lot of my classes so I ended up not qualifying in my junior year; I switched to Computer Sciences, and got my Bachelor's degree there.
While I was at Cal, I did a little theater and a lot of singing, in addition to hanging out all hours in the computer labs. I still live in Berkeley today.

r an outfit called "Teknekron Controls Incorporated", or TCI in 1982. I worked for them, under one name or another, for the next 18 years, until the company -- then called Alysis -- was sold by parts. I wound up at the Computer Science Corporation (CSC) building intelligent fraud detection systems, but CSC let me go in 2005 and I wound up at Wells Fargo Bank where I am today.
What else? Acting, singing, ballroom dancing, amateur astronomy, science fiction, a lot of roleplaying games. I met a gal (Jan) in 1984, married her in 1988, had a daughter, Claire, in 1992. She left in 2004. I met Kristina in 2005, married her in 2008; the two girls (Claire, and Kristina's daughter Erin) have now graduated from college. As of this writing in 2015, Claire, with a degree in Music Performance (Oboe) is working as a vet technician in Santa Rosa, and Erin (English) lives in Dublin Ireland where she is working on her Masters degree.
