Frank's Story

Life Adam Frank Rivera (Born in 1948): Transferred from Lafayette in Oakland Calif. to attended Saint Francis De Sales School in Oakland Ca. from the second grade to a few days into the eighth grade. I became an altar boy serving mass on weekends and made my confirmation while at Saint Francis De Sales. I later transferred to Hoover Jr. High School in Oakland Ca. finishing the eighth grade and graduating after the ninth grade where I moved on to McClymonds High School.. My name and Raoul Perez name were placed on the McClymonds School of Champions Banner with all the other great McClymonds Athletic Champions who went to Mack. After graduating from McClymonds High School in 1967 I attended Laney College in the summer of 1967 to 1970. I did not go out for wrestling at Laney College because I had broken a couple of my ribs at the O.A.L Championships in 1967 and I knew the competition in Track and Cross Country would be harder in college so I devoted myself to running. I Co-Captain both the Cross County Teams and Track Teams that set many Records in the Coast Conference and later in the Golden Gate Conference. Rank as one of the Top Runners in Northern Ca. I Majored in Industrial Design/Architectural and I minored in Business. Was married in February 1970, had two daughters from that marriage. Served in the United States Air Force from 1971 to 1976 and was the winner of the Bicentennial Run at Mather A.F.B in Sac. Calif. I was honorably discharge and was given the Air Force Commendation Medal for what they said was outstanding service. I returned to Laney College for the year's 1976-1977 to major in Industrial Design/Mechanical. I was honored by Laney College by being placed on the D...Expand for more
ean's Honor List for each semester that I attended. I started working professionally as a mechanical drafter in the year 1977 at a company called Eagle Machinery in Oakland Ca. I was honored by being selected draftsman of the year at Eagle Machinery for four years in a roll. My wife at the time wanted to be single again and no longer wanted our daughters stating I was a better parent and therefore I should have them. Marriage separation in May 1981 and received my final divorced judgment in October 1983 ending 13 years of marriage. I had physical custody of my daughters from my marriage since the ages of four for the youngest and ten for the oldest. I remained a single parent never remarrying raising both my girls alone. As of December 22, 2024 my youngest daughter is 48 living in Dublin Ca. and my oldest daughter is 54, a single parent herself, with two children of her own ages 33 and 27 all living in L..A. Ca. on their own. I am very close to my daughters whom I love so very much and vice-a-versa. In July 2008 I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my left hip. I cannot walk, stand or sit very long before my leg starts to hurt. I was no longer capable of working and was placed on disability by my doctors, now retired. I enjoy seeing Movies, Reading a good Book, the Beach, Fishing, Camping, Dancing, Raider Football Games, and Listening to Pop, Latin and R and B Music. I have recently moved near my oldest Daughter Tina Rivera in Corona, Calif. I am proud to have been a McClymonds Warrior and a Laney College Eagle. Wishing the very best to all my classmates from Mack, Laney College, Herbert Hoover Junior High and St. Francis De Sales School. Wishing everyone the very best.
