Terry's Story

Look for me on FaceBook!! Many of our old classmates are on there & it's such a great way to keep up with each other! My life has been very full!!! I attended Sac City and Consumnes River Colleges in Sacramento after graduation from Cordova. I moved to Los Angeles in 1975 to pursue my dream of acting/modeling. I acted in a bit part in film "The McCulloch's" (came out on video 26 yrs later in 2000), did some TV spots (Redd Foxx Show, Hollywood Squares Penthouse Pets). I was a Cover Model for Penthouse in 1976 and was also a Feature Pictorial in 1977. Then later in 1979, my pictorial released in a Collectors Edition. I worked behind the camera at Max Baer Productions in the late '70's on "Macon County Line" and "Ode To Billy Joe" (film credits: Assistant to Associate Producer). I returned to college while still working full time putting myself through college at LAVC and UCLA Ext., ultimately receiving my AA degree. I dabbled in the music industry receiving Title Credit on a song called "Find It Out The Hard Way" by the rock group Legs Diamond in 1984 - (Website legsdiamond.com). I worked my way into 20th Century Fox Studios the last 2 yrs. of my 20 yrs. in Los Angeles as Set Lighting Auditor and also as Assistant to VP of TV Development in Drama/Comedy. Just as my career was headed where I'd worked so hard to get to, I was forced to return to Sacramento in 1994 due to spine disease which lead to surgery in 1996 (fusion at L3-4 with 1 screw implanted), another in 2002 (discectomy L5-S1) and yet another in 2009 (full lumbar fusion from L3 to S1 tailbone with 7 screws & 2 rods now implanted). My most recent visit with the spine surgeon in Feb 2014 shows the disc above all the fusions (...Expand for more
at L203) is herniated & has a broad based disc bulge. Another surgery is inevitable, but they believe I have another 5+ years before that will need to be done (based on the degenerative changes shown on the MRI's since 2005). Just the nature of the disease (Degenerative Disc Disease). Because of my spine disease, I was forced to retire due to the severity of the damage in my spine. After 7 screws & 2 rods put into my lower back, guess you can truly say ... I'm all screwed up! To look at me ... you wouldn't know there is anything wrong. You know the old saying; "never judge a book by it's cover!". Very true! I keep active with our Class of 1973 Reunion Committee & our Class of '73 facebook page I created for everyone. You can find it on facebook under cordova.seventythree. I also created a facebook page & group page for the CHSAA Cordova High School Alumni Association for ALL grad classes (we have 50 years of graduating classes from Cordova as of 2013). You can find the Alumni Association facebook group page by searching for Cordova High School Alumni Association. The regular facebook page is full (facebook only allows 5000 friends); so I had to create a group page too! Hope you'll join us there! I never had children, but have my "furry" kids who are just like my own! I'm single now. I got married late in life at 48 and that lasted 10 years until my husband abandoned me just before I was getting ready to undergo 3 surgeries on my ankle & foot leaving me in a wheel chair for 3 months. That speaks volumes about the true nature of a person. I'm very happy being single again! Cheers! You can email me directly at CordovaAlumni73 (at sign) a o l (dot) com -- hope to hear from you!
