From Linda Hammarberg Prinn .  Brian and I were best friends in HS. He lived down the street from me and drove me to school.  After college we remet and were married in 1968. Brian was in the Navy so we moved to San Diego and then he went on a deployment to Vietnam for 9 months. After that the Navy moved us to Washington DC. A wonderful 2 year experience getting to know and understand the East coast. Then a Stanford MBA for Brian and I worked in tax accounting.
 We moved to Encino (LA area) for what was to be a 2 year adventure. As fate would have it we lived in Encino for 30 years and moved to Newport Beach in retirement to be close to our first grandchildren.
 Just after our 50 HS reunion Brian died from a heart attack. We had acquired my family home in Lafayette thinking we would split our time between Lafayette and Newport Beach. This back and forth has been my routine ever since I love both places and connecting with friends. I am looking forward to the reunion.
