 I was sad to recently find out that bology teacher Joe Zucca passed away last November. I know many of us considered him one of our favorite teachers. Some of you may have missed him but he did attend our reunion last Oct. 

" Joseph John Zucca January 15, 1923 to November 24, 2010. Passionate as father, husband, grandfather, friend and neighbor, hiker, explorer, scientist, naturalist, photographer, fisherman, reader, teacher. Active in Belmont , advocate for Twin Pines Park and the Belmont Library. Joe is survived by his daughter, Josette; wife, Ruth; son-in-law, Bill; grandsons, Jonny and Zac Serencsa; nieces Janine Nelson, Joni, and Jennifer Zucca."

Hello everybody,

In 2 days I turn 70 years young, and by now I guess most of you are just as young as me. I spend my most of my third age yachting, playing golf and skiing during winter time. Keeping fit and staying active is very important, and I like to be outdoors.

I was working as teacher for 40 years in primary and secondary school, and I loved it all the time.

I have 2 sons, and a 75 year old life companion. He doesn't ski or play golf, but I still love him.

I often think about my time at Carlmont High, and it was a great adventure for a Danish girl abroad. 3 years ago I was travelling around the western parts of the US, and visited San Fansisco, San Diego, Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Nevada desert. We travelled for 4 weeks and I truly enjoyed my second adventure in America.

I hope the best for all of you.

Kind regards

Lis Hjulmand
