Jacalyn's Story
Okay, my story? I graduated from LMHS in 1972 and starting going to Cerritos College to get in my prerequisites for the RN program. I was accepted into their program and also one at a school in Huntington Beach. I started working for Vons in June 1973, met my future ex-husband (Don Cloward LMHS 1967), and after two years, dropped out of the nursing program and got married. We created two beautiful boys, now married and doing well and each has a child. My boys played soccer from age 4 1/2 through high school and one had a soccer scholarship from Biola. The other graduated from Cal State San Bernardino and he was goalie for Corona High and they went all they way to the last game in CIF but lost. He broke many records as goalie at Corona Hi. Both of my beautiful daughters-in-law teach advanced math classes at the high schools they graduated from. Sadly, Don and I divorced in 1985 and neither has remarried. I retired from Vons in 2007 and have been working in my church...Expand for more
office as the Business/Financial Administrator since then.
I am proud to say that I am now a 25 gallon blood donor! I have been donating platelets for about 14 years now. A friend at work had a son who was 12 and needed a heart transplant so they did a blood drive and you can say I have been stuck donating since then. I am happy to report he is now in his 20's and doing well. I have a deal with God...keep me healthy and I will donate as long as I am able.
I love traveling with Lynn Larsen, my sister, Valerie, and a few other friends. We have gone on a cruise through New England and Canada and also a short Catalina/Ensenada cruise. When we get together we always have a very fun time. Lynn and I took a train trip to Seattle and then took the ferry across to Victoria Island to Butchart Gardens. What a beautiful trip! We also go to Pismo Beach, Monterey, and of course, a few wineries!
Life has been good, God is good and I am blessed! Blessings to all of you!
