| Gordon L. Rogers Gordon L. Rogers passed away on December 26, 2019, at the age of 75. Born to Henry and Valerie Rogers in Norfolk, VA in 1944, Gordon was the second of four children. He is survived by his caring wife of 46 years, Penny; their daughter Kristi Carichoff; grandson Andrew Carichoff; and siblings Mike (Janet), Joyce Brand (Steve), and George (Virginia). Growing up a military brat, he lived in many different locations, including the Philippines. He attended high school in Sacramento (Encina, 1963) and eventually settled in El Dorado Hills in the 1970s. Gordon was most at ease when faced with action and danger. As a young man, he proudly served as a California State Lifeguard, where he saved numerous lives and even delivered a baby. After graduating from CSU Sacramento, he became an officer for the Sacramento Police Department. His years as a cop were his most defining professionally. He was born to be a police officer and a life saver and liked sharing stories about his time on the force. He earned multiple medals of valor for his bravery in the line of duty. He retired from SPD in the mid 1980s following a disabling injury and went to work for the El Dorado Union High School District as a substitute teacher and swim coach. As a former competitive swimmer and all-around athlete, he enjoyed being involved in athletics and contributing to the local community. He later became a truancy officer for the district. He had great success getting kids back to school to finish their education. He was an incredibly loyal and protective husband, Dad, and "Poppy," and his family was his pride and joy. He also loved the Oregon Ducks and followed their athletics closely, attending many football games in Eugene, OR. He will be missed infinitely by his family, but there are more memories and inside jokes than can be counted! He was truly one of a kind. Published in The Sacramento Bee on Jan. 4, 2020. |
| Timothy Charles Wheelis 1945 ~ 2019 Pacific Grove, California Timothy Wheelis died peacefully with his wife and daughters at his side on September 7, 2019 after a period of declining health. He was born in 1945 to Samuel and Pauline Wheelis, the third of four children. Tim grew up in Sacramento and graduated from Encina High School in 1963. Timothy married his childhood friend, Anne, in 1967. Upon completing his BA from UC Berkeley in 1968, Tim became a member of the first cohort of students drafted out of graduate school during the Vietnam War. After returning from Vietnam and receiving his teaching credential from CSU Hayward, Tim and Anne relocated to the Monterey Peninsula in 1971 where they raised their daughters, Jessica and Brenna. Tim taught at Fitch Junior High on Ft. Ord and at Los Arboles Middle School in Marina. Generations of students took English, drama, and social studies classes from him, and countless benefited from his mentorship. During his teaching years, Tim served in many roles for the Monterey Bay Teachers Association, including years as Newsletter Editor and negotiator for the Bargaining Committee. Tim decided it was time to retire when the grandchildren of his first students started coming to Los Arboles! Timothy was at home in the great outdoors. He began backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness while in high school, and his annual camping and fishing trips were as routine as the holidays. Northern California trout streams were closest to his heart, and he loved sharing his favorite spots with dear friends and family. Tim was a true maker and his hobbies always involved some form of building or modification of equipment, including model airplanes, RC cars, HAM radio, and computers. He was a master of fly fishing, rod construction, fly tying, and spinning a good fish tale or two. When declining health limited physical activity, he turned to N-scale model railroading. As was his style for all his hobbies, he started with kits, then combined kits for original structures, and then designed and built tiny structures from scratch. He followed the same path to build dollhouse furniture for his granddaughter, modeling furniture from his own childhood and the antiques that he and Anne had collected for their home. Timothy passed his passion for the outdoors and craft skills on to his daughters who camp, build fly rods, doll house furniture, and an assortment of small things. Timothy is survived by his wife Anne; daughters Jessica (Ben Gardella) and Brenna (Steven Andre), and beloved grandchildren Emmett and Liliana Gardella. He is also survived by his sister Ellen Jo Bailey and brother Harry Wheelis; their spouses Jim Bailey and Diane Cadosi; his sister-in-law Charette Wheelis, and numerous loving nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother, Samuel. Timothy will be inurned at the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery at 3:30 pm on October 25th. A Celebration of his life will be held on October 26 from 2 to 4 pm, at the Sally Griffin Senior Center, 700 Jewell Ave in Pacific Grove. Timothy's avocation was education—both learning and teaching. To honor him, the Timothy C. Wheelis Memorial Scholarship for students graduating from Marina High School has been established through The Marina Foundation. Donations to the fund may be made by mail to The Marina Foundation, PO Box 324, Marina, CA 93933, or online at themarinafoundation.org/scholarships.

| Gerald Thomas wrote: Occupation: Attorney MaritalStatus: Married Spouse: Rita Szuszkiewicz, artist and licensed accupuncturist/herbal doctor SinceGraduation: December, '64, hit a telephone pole in a Ford, with Fred Muollo, so the injuries got me a 1-Y for the duration of Nam. Flunked out of American River J.C. TWICE, '63 - '65. Acting out as street punk thief dope fiend, with Beatniks, North Beach, S.F. summer '63 & '64--FUN, FUN, FUN!! Diddled around San Francisco for 7 years, protesting this and that, getting clubbed by cops, ah yes, the hippie daze. B.A., English Lit., CSUSF, '69, rediscovered my passion for writing. 1970: Fell out of a speeding car, 3 a.m. on U.S. 101 near Candlestick, slid down freeway on my ass, loyally holding a joint, so decided at that precise moment that if I survived, I should review my life's priorities. (Never quite got around to the "review") Juris Doctor, '73, Univ. of Cal. Hastings, S.F., where I was nick-named "the Ghost" by the few law students who put 2 & 2 together: Most of their weed was coming from the nerdy quiet guy, the ghost in the corner. Tip of my hat to my sleazy pals Tom Coke and One-Armed Dave! Bought a red MGA in 1969, still driving it 45 years later. Admitted to State Bar, '73. Back to Sacamenna, '74, and represented screwballs, wackos, bikers and mis-fits. They're all great folks, truly nice people, but it can grow stale, so back to UOP McGeorge for a second law degree ('82), specializing in Federal Tax Law & International Business. Taught corporate & estate tax at Sac State, '83 - '84, Dept. of Accountancy. Finally, after 41 years of practicing law, I've culled it down to 3 clients, one in Tokyo, 2nd in British Virgin Islands (Tortola), and 3rd in Elverta(?!?) For a while that involved a lot of world travel until they invented Skype and other gizmos. Spent the last 35 years writing poetry, prose, entertainment reviews for local rags, plus articles on disability rights issues in automobile industry, and books of original cartoon ducks, Tales From The Pond. Check out Luna's on 16th Street each 3rd Thursday evening for poetry. Pleasure travel regularly, but live work and play in a 10 mile radius of 53rd & F, where I was born. If you're driving in Sacamenna, look left and right, and if you see a tattered red MGA roadster, its me. BestFriends: Fred Muollo, Paul Godot (Kurtz), Carl Fisher and Gayle Jones, (R.I.P. Gayle). Fred pegged a scam I developed for leaving school at 1:30 to "take copy" for the Encina Apache to the printer in Carmichael. Bored to death in Civics, he decided he had to get to know the "kid" in the blue Chevy who regularly left school early, he wanted "in on the deal." Fast Times at Ridgemont--I mean Encina High! Anyhow, that started a 50 year friendship. Sad: Fred is now in skilled nursing in Auburn--too many Marlboros, too much morphine, too much hy-life! But we love him anyway. Carl & Paul are in touch. GradeSchool: Creekside, class of '59--wish they had a reunion, I'd actually go! MemorableTeachers: Coach Brown: If you gave him a candy bar, he'd let you sit out P.E. Linda Brandenburger: The only teacher who dared challenge my inherent curiosity about knowledge, and gave me a wonderful sense of accomplishment!!! FavoriteMemory: Stories: During junior year I developed a way to get exams a week or so in advance (the teachers' ditto room wasn't locked--all you needed to do was look in the waste basket, and PRESTO: there were the ditto masters for upcoming exams.) For two years it was my little secret--if I told ANYONE, I knew I'd get busted. Loose lips sink ships. Trouble was, I was so lazy that even with a test days in advance, I'd often just get a C. Fast times at Ridgemont--I mean Encina High!! I always slept through Mr. Tracy's history class, but with exams in advance, I still got C's, so he reported to Jack Basset that he suspected I had either an organic brain problem, or "problems" at home. How else could I get C's if I slept all day? The school called in a shrink, called my parents, which left me with no choice but to "go with the flow" until they finally gave up. Those were VERY fast times at Ridgemont--I mean Encina High! Comments: Encina was a blast and a half: I just stayed under the radar, wore my "nerd costume" every day and had fun, fun, fun!! 1/5/15 |

| I sorry to inform you of the passing of Carol (Haddox) Frank, of the Encina class of 1963. She passed-away on Nov. 27th at her daughter's home in West Sacramento at age 67, after battling various ailments the last few years. Her memorial service was last Saturday, Dec. 7th here in Sacramento, which I attended along with friends and family. One childhood friend came all the way from Reno to attend. While I only met her recently during the advanced stages of her illness, I didn't know her over the years. I only have known her youngest sister, Linda (Haddox) Seikei (Encina class of 1969), since the "old days". I don't think there was an obituary published in the Sacramento Bee.

| Anne Wedemeyer, John Wedemeyer's daughter writes: Dear sweet John passed early this morning at about 2:30 am. He is finally at peace. He left us holding Marianne and my hands, listening to the sounds of Bach orchestra suite 3 in D. Air. (February 17, 2010) WEDEMEYER, Jr., John M. August 1945 - February 2010 Died at home in San Diego on February 17, 2010, with his family at his side, following a three-year battle with cancer. He was a visionary leader in the design and implementation of innovative human service programs in San Diego, achieving significant policy advocacy accomplishments at the local, State, and Federal levels. He grew up in Sacramento where he graduated from Encina High School, and his father, Jack Wedemeyer, was the Director of the California State Department of Social Welfare. John received his bachelor's degree at UC Davis and his Master of Social Work degree at San Diego State University. He began his career as a Child Protective Services Worker with San Diego County, where he was the organizer of the San Diego County Foster Parents organization. In the 1970s he was the foundering director of San Diego Youth Services, as well as and a co-founder of Community Congress of San Diego. He was the main visionary and leader in local advocacy work with the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego, and the United Way, which resulted in a nationally recognized human services contracting system that continues to this day. San Diego Youth Services' first project was a runaway center - one of the first and most successful in the nation. While at SDYS, he served as a field instructor for the SDSU School of Social Work, and in 1974, he received SDSU's Distinguished Alumni Award. Mr. Wedemeyer testified regarding the need for services for runaways at a U.S. Senate Subcommittee in 1972; his expertise and that of his advocacy colleagues were extensively used in the drafting of the 1974 Runaway Youth Act. Today, federal funding under this law is still being allocated to serve youth, particularly homeless youth. In 1976, he became the founding Chair of the National Network for Runaway and Youth Services. After directing a youth counseling program in Santa Cruz, he returned to San Diego, and in 1985 became the director of the June Burnett Institute for Children, Youth, and Families in the SDSU Research Foundation. While there, he managed and led over 15 projects funded by Federal, State, County, and foundation sources. Many of the projects involved collaborations with local schools, particularly by increasing the involvement of parents from low-income and predominantly immigrant neighborhoods. He secured funding for a number of interdisciplinary projects involving community-based organizations, schools, and County agencies. He established an SDSU Faculty Fellows program, in which faculty worked with the practice community on projects, resulting in a number of professional journal publications.

| Gretchen Fleischer writes: Occupation: I've done a whole lot of things. Currently I am doing freelance accounting for a small number of clients Bio: Youngest graduate of American River College in 1965. I was 18. Graduated from San Francisco State with a BA in French. Didn't start reading all the good stuff in English until after college, but haven't stopped since. Married briefly between 1968 - 72 during which time we lived in Toronto. I came back to California lived in South Lake Tahoe, tried living in Sacramento again for a year and then moved to San Francisco. Moved to Alameda in the early 80s and have been here ever since. As far as work goes, I was almost always hired by the owner of a small company who recognized I could do a lot. Have worked in real estate and property management, and art sales. Spent 10 years or so in the garment industry. Worked for an ex-Israeli air force fighter pilot who did mergers and acquisitions. In 1999 a friend died at the age of 96, leaving a handwritten will naming NO beneficiaries, who wanted me to use his building and funds to create a small gallery and art center. In a fit of positive thinking, I took it on, renovated the property and learned how to run an nonprofit. I ran the Frank Bette Center for the Arts for the first year it was opened, then passed it on to another Executive Director. Now I am doing my own thing and working on a novel. Trivia: I won the lottery. Really! It was enough for a downpayment on a house. I am still an indentured slave, like everyone else. I am a believer and buy tickets every Wednesday and Saturday, sans treve. Friends: Bonnie MacFarland and Karen Cleland, and I know where they are. Am curious about Diane Pucci, but she hasn't been to a reunion. Would love to compare notes with Chris Browning, Marilyn Holt and Barbara Haag. I wish Laurie Brown didn't fall off that mountain (in a climbing accident in the Himalayas.) Hobbies: I love learning. I have taught myself to write websites, am working on a novel and short stories. Kids: Never had any. Grade_school: I went to Arcade for 1st and 2nd grade, then moved to Bermuda (my father was in the Air Force) where I went to a British school called Whitney Institute. With a head master and everything but the sorting hat. Did part of 8th grade in Palm Beach, FL then went to Arden School for the rest of it. Grade_school_friends: Nobody from Arcade or Whitney! Bonnie went to Arden and Encina. The kids on the block. Junior_high: Went from Arden to Encina - no junior high in the old days. Memorable_teachers: Thank you, Leslie Saladen. If there was ever a day in your life when you thought your impact may have been lost on some students, believe me, I am not in that group. John Psihas for the famous line, "As a reward....." Miss Kornmeyer for teaching geometry and other important stuff. Leon Biren for giving me a passing grade in World History. Favorite_memory: Working as assistant director for a one-act play, Riders to the Sea, by a fine Irishman, John Millington Synge. I may have had a walk on part in it, too. The best thing was going to Sac State library with Marilyn Holt (she played Maura). We listened to an LP recording of the play about a hundred times, learning the Irish accent so we could teach the ones who had the lines. "Where is the bit of new rope, Cathleen, was bought in Connemara?" I bet Tim Cunningham still remembers that, too. Favorite_memory: Had to be the Junior Talent Show - Diane Pucci, Laurie Brown and I practiced for one week before tryouts, got accepted and went onstage. I wrote all the song parodies that were met with tumultuous applause. "What shall we do with the Drunken Seniors?" was, of course, censored. Smile. "One of the reasons we're singing this song (Viva la compagnie) The Steins haven't done it - we couldn't go wrong." Story: Isn't it wonderful what nice things other people remember about you? Seeing old friends at the two reunions I have been to was so enlightening. If we could only have been more mature when we were kids. Oh, well. 2/28/08 |

| Timothy Wheelis writes: Occupation: Retired Middle School Teacher (32 years) Bio: Upon graduating from Encina I matriculated to the University of California, Berkeley, to become the world's greatest chemical engineer. Little did I know that Berkeley is not a place for the feint of heart. The chemistry classes were fine, the math classes were fine, but physics was the pits. By the end of my sophomore year, I realized that some retooling was in order. I returned to Sacramento, enrolled at American River JC, and engaged in a partial reinvention of myself. During this time I also became engaged to Anne Yallalee, whom I married in July, 1967: yes, we're still married and best of friends. Ultimately, I finished the lower division requirements for a major in English and, in the fall of '66, returned to Berkeley where I graduated with the class of '68. I then enrolled at Cal State, Hayward, with the aim of pursuing a Masters in English. I completed a quarter, and, because Lyndon Johnson did away with grad-student deferments, I was drafted into the US Army. What a transition that was. I thought Chem.E. to English was radical. Transition from grad school to army basic training was orders of magnitude more radical. Completion of basic training at Ft. Lewis, WA was followed by advanced training at Ft. Ord, CA. I was to be trained as a radio operator: I spent about four hours a day listening to Morse code, and the rest of the duty day learning the procedures and hardware involved in being a radio operator. Imagine doing that for eight weeks, or so: you, too, might start dreaming in dits and dahs. Onward: from Ord I was assigned to Fort Gordon, GA, land of humidity, poverty and very large bugs. I was supposed to have been assigned to the Radio-Telegraph Operators School, but was pulled from the in-processing line and offered an assignment with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the United States Army Southeastern Signal School as a clerk. I took it. Eventually I became the company clerk. I was there for eleven months before being assigned to Vietnam. In Vietnam, I was assigned to Army Headquarters, G4 Plans & Operations. The downside: it was Vietnam, and incoming rounds and basic grunt work were part of the deal. The upside: when not in the field I worked in one of the few air conditioned facilities in the country. A short time later I returned to the World and went back to school, getting a standard secondary teaching credential. After actively pursuing work, I had functionally given up on finding a teaching job: I knew there was an extreme teacher surplus in the State at the time and I had interview more than 40 districts (I think there's a correlation between the numbers and the beard, but then someone ultimately saw beyond that construct). I was extremely fortunate in landing a job with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District. Huge irony: when I was transferred from Ft. Ord to Fort Gordon, I was thankful that I'd never see Ft. Ord, again; my first assignment as a teacher was at Fitch Junior High School . . . on Ft. Ord. Hmmm? I ultimately spent 32 years in the classroom as well as becoming extensively involved in union issues. At one time or another, I taught English, Drama, Reading, Social Studies, Geography, History, Math, Computers, and Science. School Site Council and curriculum development, at the site and district levels, were also in the mix. In the union (Monterey Bay Teachers Association/CTA) I went from site representative to newsletter editor (two state awards for that) and negotiations chair (one law suit victory for that). I retired after 32 years. Now, when Annie asks what I'm going to do with my day, I realize that it really IS my day, and no one else's. I was briefly slowed by a stroke in 1992 and iliac artery bypass surgery the following year, but, ultimately returned to the fray. In June, 2004, feeling recreationally challenged, I retired. Friends: Best friends in high school include Robert Lord, Mike Estep, Dave Hutchings, Jim Brown, Terri Schaefer, Anne Yallalee and Sue Kirstein Hobbies: My pursuits include reading, fly-fishing (fishing, tying, rod building), left-leaning political activism {letter writing, phone calls [your basic pain in the a** (we all know at least one)]}, model railroading (n scale), model building, amateur astronomy (two scopes: 400 mm f/5 refractor and 800 mm f/4 reflector), amateur radio (KQ6V, Amateur Extra Class), cooking/baking, and my children and grand children. Kids: Jessica was born in 1972. She was an achiever, and driven to succeed. She cruised through the Pacific Grove schools, and ultimately received her bachelor's degree from UC Santa Cruz. She got her teaching credential from CSU Hayward. She is now teaching third grade in the Oakland Unified School District. Concurrent with teaching, she is in the masters program at CSU Hayward (now CSU East Bay). In addition, she's the mother of our grandchildren, Emmett (age 5) and Lily (age 1½). Grandchildren are so coooool! Her husband, Ben, is a software engineer with Electronic Arts. Our youngest, Brenna, did it "her way." Life with Brenna was one hell of a ride, much more exciting than the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. We obliquely stuck by each other: it was dicey at times. Ultimately, she realized that there was a better way to do things and we formed an adamantine bond. She finished HS through the adult school program and enrolled in the local junior college. She is currently somewhere in that fog between junior and senior standing. She loves the challenge and her grades reflect it. She should finish within the next year and a half. Her advisors and instructors are pointing her toward grad school. She informs me that she thinks she wants to teach. Grade_school: I came to Encina by way of Arden School Memorable_teachers: Ms. Elise Woltz, who taught German, and steered me toward the University of California. Ms. Maryann Soinski, who taught senior English: she was tough as nails, but gave me a really good footing in what I would need in college. Mr. William Coke, who taught Chemistry: at the time I had a great interest in the subject, and I appreciated his humor. Favorite_memory: Running on the Gold-Medal-Winning 880 relay team at the 1963 league meet at San Juan High School. 10/20/07 |

| BROWN, Marilyn Banyai Aug 11, 1944-Dec 13, 2006 Born in Dickinson, N.D., Marilyn has sadly left us at 62 years young after a brief battle with lung cancer.

She leaves behind her loving husband of 22 years, Gordon Brown of Roseville, Calif., daughter Alicia Jefferies, son Thomas Wesley Crago, grandchildren Curtis, Christina, Cory and Christopher, brothers Raymond, Richard, and Tony Banyai, and sisters Evelyn Walters, Catherine Wageman, Loretta Robinson and Jeanette Hicks. Marilyn graduated from Encina High School and retired from McClellan AFB after 20-plus years handling contracts for the Dept. of Defense. She held many interests in bowling, cribbage, bingo, horseshoes, square dancing and racquet ball - leaving behind many friends made over the years and will be sadly missed by all. She will be laid to rest at a grave site burial on Dec. 19 at noon at Mt. Vernon Memorial Park, 8201 Greenback Ln., Fair Oaks, Calif. Viewing will be held on Monday, Dec. 18, from 4:00-8:00 PM at the same location.

Obituary: Ex-air base worker stayed active, encouraged savings By Lakiesha McGhee - Bee Staff Writer Last Updated 12:47 am PST Tuesday, December 19, 2006 Story appeared in METRO section, Page B4 Marilyn Brown wasn't the type of person to sit at home alone. She had many friends and many interests, including square dancing, bowling, racquetball, horseshoes, bingo and the card game cribbage. But she was most known for saving her money and thinking of others. Family members said her upbringing in a large family shaped her attitude about finances. "She would always say you should live frugally and have savings," said her daughter, Alicia Jefferies. "She always thought of others." Mrs. Brown died Dec. 13 after a brief battle with lung cancer. She was 62. The youngest daughter of Anton and Anna Banyai, she was born in Dickinson, N.D. With her parents, four sisters and three brothers, she moved to Sacramento when she was a teenager. She graduated from Encina High School in 1963, family members said. Shortly after high school she got a job at McClellan Air Force Base, where she met Thomas Crago. They married and had two children. Jefferies said her mother quit her job to raise her and her brother, Thomas, but returned to work in 1972. After a divorce, Mrs. Brown remarried in June 1985, to Gordon Brown. She spent 22 years at McClellan handling contracts for the Department of Defense, family members said. But Mrs. Brown didn't wait for retirement to start her hobbies. As soon as her children were grown and out of the house she picked up square dancing, Jefferies said. It was at a square-dance party that she met Brown. Other activities followed. She joined a bowling league in Citrus Heights and participated in cribbage tournaments. Mrs. Brown's most recent adventure was a train ride in July to Kansas, where her husband grew up, Jefferies said. "I would joke with her about never being at home and having more of a social life than me," Jefferies said. A few months ago, Mrs. Brown thought she had a case of laryngitis. She was diagnosed Nov. 4 with lung cancer. Family members said she had smoked cigarettes for several years. 12/26/06 |

writes: Occupation: Founder, President and Executive Director of Frank Bette Center for the Arts, Alameda, CA. We have a small gallery and workroom space and provide arts education programs and juried exhibits. Bio: Youngest graduate of American River College in 1965. I was 18. Graduated from San Francisco State with a BA in French. Didn't start reading all the good stuff in English until after college, but haven't stopped since. Married a Swiss citizen/Canadian resident who was in San Francisco on vacation and who I met hitchhiking from San Francisco to Stinson Beach in 1968. After he got an engineering degree from University of Toronto in 1972, (thank you so much, bye bye) I came back to California and began an incredible journey that didn't include him. I lived in South Lake Tahoe, where I called bingo for two years even though the novelty wore off in two weeks, tried living in Sacramento again for a year and then moved to San Francisco. I did all kinds of things, almost always hired by the owner of a small company who recognized I could do a lot. Have worked in real estate and property management, art sales, in bookkeeping/accounting. Moved to Alameda in the early 80's. Spent 10 years or so in the garment industry doing traffic, shipping, and production planning. Worked for an ex-Israeli air force fighter pilot who did mergers and acquisitions. In 1999 a friend died at the age of 96, leaving a handwritten will naming NO beneficiar But that's only the work stuff. Trivia: I won the lottery. Really! It was enough for a downpayment on a house. I am still an indentured slave, like everyone else. I am a believer and buy tickets every Wednesday and Saturday, sans treve. Friends: Bonnie MacFarland and Karen Cleland, and I know where they are. Am curious about Diane Pucci and Larry Allen and don't know where they are. Would love to compare notes with Chris Browning, Marilyn Holt and Barbara Haag. I wish Laurie Brown didn't fall off that mountain. Hobbies: I used to have time for sewing, gardening and cleaning house. Oh, yeah, also cooking. I have a wonderful amethyst necklace that was my mothers that I really would like to wear again, if I ever restring it. Now, when was my last vacation? I still have time for creative visualization and am working on my second lottery win. I keep the faith. I make the time to write. Have been working on a novel, my magnum opus, for so long I don't want to say. There's a lot to do for this: research and more research, taking classes so I know how to do it right the first time, doing past life regression workshops, getting readings from trance channels (but only the best ones) and writing and rewriting. Watch for it in a bookstore near you, in this incarnation or the next. Also working on a book of stories of synchronicity and manifestation. And a short story here and there. I had two articles published in Yoga Journal, but that was before I started doing yoga every morning. In the beginning the benefits may seem small, but as you continue, you will find they are truly great. I keep my only rejection slip magnetted to my refrigerator, as I reminder it MIGHT happen again, but I am not counting on it. Kids: Don't have any that I know of. I must have a mark on my door that cats find. Maxwell Smart & Vanessa Redcat liked living with me; they did it for 18 & 19 years. Now Bronwyn and Tyneside are settling in. When is someone going to invent a cat who can clean its own catbox? Who says they are independent? Grade_school: Arden Grade_school_friends: Bonnie MacFarland, Corry Brockett Junior_high: Hogwarts Memorable_teachers: Thank you, Leslie Saladen. If there was ever a day in your life when you thought your impact may have been lost on some students, believe me, I am not in that group. John Psihas for the famous line, "As a reward....." Miss Kornmeyer for teaching geometry and other important stuff. Leon Biren for giving me a passing grade in World History. Favorite_memory: Working as assistant director for a one-act play, Riders to the Sea, by a fine Irishman, John Millington Synge. I may have had a walk on part in it, too. The best thing was going to Sac State library with Marilyn Holt (she played Maura). We listened to an LP recording of the play about a hundred times, learning the Irish accent so we could teach the ones who had the lines. "Where is the bit of new rope, Cathleen, was bought in Connemara?" I bet Tim Cunningham still remembers that, too. Bittersweet: I cut school one day in Senior year to go shopping in San Francisco with my mother for a dress to wear to the Senior Ball, even though I didn't have a date to the dance. Story: Sure. Lots. Another time, perhaps. 4/29/03 |
