Gerald's Story
After our June 6,1963 OLM graduation I attended and graduated from Merced College. In 1965 I enlisted in the US NAVY;
They told me it would be an adventure not a job. They weren't kidding. After four years of maintaining P-3
anti-submarine aircraft at NAS Moffett Field in Mountain View, Ca. I returned to Merced. Prior to leaving the NAVY
however I met Linda. She was a USO hostess; tall, blond, every bit of 19 years of age with this great smile.
I never had a chance! We have been married forty-three years now resulting in two children Julie and
Christopher and two grandchildren Emily and Ethan. Those years were not a job either, they definitely have been an adventure.

fter working forty-years in the farm equipment business as a parts manager. In the
late 80's i drove tour buses from San Diego up into Canada and as far east as Denver. All those years were a
combination of job and adventure.
Linda retired in August 2011. She had worked as a Sears hardware manager and at AT&T as a customer
service care representative. She worked those jobs while raising a family and keeping me out of trouble. Now that we are both retired we are living that great adventure called
retirement. We have been able to spend more time with the family and have been doing some trips within
California and Hawaii. This fall we will be tripping into other states to the east and north of us.
