Ron's Story

Elementary School When I started kindergarten, my Dad was my bus driver (bus 5 which was renumbered to 32) and the head custodian, so I always got to get out of class to go fetch him. We moved from Aptos to La Selva Beach when I was 2, so I like to say I'm from Aptos (where my father moved to in 1918) but LSB is really home. Remember moving to the brand new Valencia school on top of the hill? It was always supposed to be the junior high, but we were there in 5th grade. My Dad, Les, was also there, and he used to draw pictures of all the kids. I got to work in the lunch room, and we got our hot lunches from the old school, which is where I went to junior high. We had shop in the old kindergarten room, but I missed out working on car engines because I took German. High School I hung out in the Math office most of the time, and was a founding father of the F.O.A. Let's just say it stands for Friends Of Aptos. I was in the band just one year, but started singing when I was a Senio...Expand for more
r. I've made so many friends singing since then, it was a great idea. I was in the Fiddler on the Roof production of May 13,14, & 15th 1976. I sang a solo Now I Have Everything as Perchik, a song that was not in the movie. College I graduated from U.C. Berkeley in 1980 with a degree in Environmental Science. I sang with the glee club and worked on the Rally Committee. Go Bears! Workplace I worked for Syntex/Roche Palo Alto for 25 years and helped discover new medicines while working in the Global Informatics department. Unfortunately, Roche is closed the whole site in June, 2010. I am now a Database Developer consulting with a Silicon Valley telecommunications firm. Update... I'm now working at Genentech as a Clinical Programmer in the US Medical Affairs department working for the BioOncology group. (So I'm back at Roche.) Home I have been married 26 years to my wife Elaine, and I have two wonderful children, Kevin and Lauren who are both going to San Jose State University.
