Veronica's Story
Where do I start??? A lot has happened in the past 20 something years!
Here's my bio for my Hoover and McLane friends. And those I met at Hahn Air Base.
Well, I attended Viking Elementary, then Scandinavian Middle School, then McLane High. I also attended Hoover High briefly during my recovery from a knee surgery (both knees), but then transferred back to McLane where I graduated in '86.
I grew up in Clovis. BUT lived a couple years taking care of my Grandmother in Eastside Fresno. We lived on Floradora Street of all places! In front of the railroad tracks! Not an enjoyable time... She died in December, my senior year before graduation.
After graduation, I married Hank Alaniz in 1987 and spent a brief time living abroad (1 1/2 years in West Germany) and had a daughter. That's where I met my dear friend Charlotte (Charlie) and her husband Fernando. They have been my wonderful friends for all these years!
If you are reading this and you were stationed at Hahn AB in the years 1987-1989 and know Paul & Irene Dunlap, please tell them I miss them and have been looking for them for years.
I returned to Califor...Expand for more
nia in 1989 and divorced, and took job in local gov't. I have been working for the same Gov't Agency for the past 21 years and I STILL love it 99% of the time!
I remarried in 1999 and I'm now the happily married mother of two. My husband is kind, gentle and patient all the things I wish I was more of.
My daughter 22 and in college... and my son is 10. Both are incredible, smart, & funny, but my daughter is REALLY smart, and my son is REALLY funny!
I LOVE to travel... but I don't do as much as I'd like... I've been to: Germany, Czech Republic, France, Belgium & Luxembourg, Canada, Mexico (Cancun, Mazatlan, & Hermosillo).... If all goes according to plan, my next BIG trip will probably be next year (2010) to Oaxaca & maybe a side trip to Guatemala or Nicaragua while I'm at it.
I am happy to say that I have some of the same friends from Elementary School! They are all beautiful & wonderful women! How awesome is that?
Cheers to you Annette, Patsy, Deanna, Dawn, Denise J., *Denise A., and Chantay!!!
*(July 2008-Denise Avila just passed away after a long courageous battle with cancer... and I'm heartbroken!)
