Comments:

Went to RCC 1974 to 1976, UCR 1976 to 1978, graduated with a BA in Psychology. Proceeded to CSUSB from 1991 to 1993, graduated with an MS in Clinical Psychological. Got LMFT in 1995 and that same year got married in February and had our first child in November. Went into private practice in 1994 and have been doing that until now and have no plans to retire; love my work. Met my BFF to date in graduate school. Divorced in 1996, but stayed close friends. Exspouse deceased 2013, was with him along with both children, his brother and niece. Just became an abuelita in 2023; best thing ever. Townsend and his wife Jennifer live in Lakewood, CA so I was there for Sylvia Rene's birth and visit every weekend. Broke first bone ever (foot) in June of 2023 which didn't help, jogging and being active are essential to me. Dylan is about to get his degree in math (takes after his Grandma, my mother) and am very proud of both my kids, they have been and are incredibly awesome, never given me much trouble at all.

School Story:

Very best friends were Shirley Ebert (Norton now) and Aldo Hernandez. Remember riding around with Cheryl and Rene in Cheryl's VW bug. Great parties at Carlos Mejia's house. Working on the school paper with Fred Neil (who I am looking so forward to seeing) and adoring Mr. Tindall. Didn't hang out much with Lori Ebner at school, but we had lots of fun outside of school. Oddly enough, I have almost more friends from the class of 1975. Went to every dance possible even though I'm an introvert because I love doing it so much. Janice Allen was the first person who helped me get comfortable with dancing by myself; I have no idea what happened to her, have tried to find her, but no luck, she's a lovely person. Only funny memory can think of that I'm willing to share is when Fred and I were elected most likely to succeed and got our picture taken by Bob White in overalls with fishing poles.
