Jeanette Manno:  

Life After I left high school I met my husband. He was just returning from Germany. He was in the last group to be drafted before they stopped. We dated for 3 years and got married in 1977. We moved to Rancho Cucamonga in 1978 and my son was born 2 weeks later. He's 30 now. I also have 2 daughters, 28 and 21. I lived in the same house all my life in Torrance until I married. We have now lived in the same house for 30 years and my children were all born here. I work for Alta Loma High School now in Special Education. I counsel at risk high school students. Help them learn coping, living and just effective living skills. I worked with mentally handicapped high school students before this for 5 years, teaching them how to function in the outside world. Both jobs are very rewarding. I guess I married the right man because we're still together. We have 4 beautiful granddaughters, Lily 7, and Gianna 6, Leila 3, and Elani 15 months.

The other two are Gianna 6, and Elani 15 months. They are my older daughter Jill's. I guess we might just have to start a girl's soccer team, since we will now have 4 granddaughters! We really enjoy our family. We've done pop warner, cheerleading, soccer, baseball with our kids and are now ready to do it over with our grandkids. My youngest daughter graduated from high school and is going to start her college education to be a child/adolescent psychologist. My parents are both still alive and enjoying life. (Sad to say my father passed away October 29, 2005) They sold their house in Torrance in 1978 and moved to Tehachapi. We see them as often as we can. I guess my life has turned out pretty much like I thought it would. I'd like to hear from any of you that remember me. My email should be available to you here. May we all ke...Expand for more
