Comments:

After raising our twins in Alameda, CA and after Lynne's mom passed away in Oct., 2011, and after I retired in 2014, we decided to move to North Carolina in July, 2015 to be near our daughter's family. We had a brand new house built in Wilmington, NC. We chose Wilmington because it's located on the Atlantic Ocean, has a regional medical center, and the University of North Carolina Wilmington. It's population is about 176,000. The city has all of the bells and whistles of the Bay Area, except on a smaller scale. There are tons of activities for retired people like us. I am hoping to get a volunteer job at the hospital driving a golf cart to take patients to the hospital.

School Story:

I graduated with a B.A. in History (1969) and a Masters in Public Administration at CAL State Hayward (1977). Both of these degrees helped me in my career over the years and have also helped me to contribute to my Moose Lodge, and Elks Lodge. I soon hope to contribute to non-profit organizations using my writing, organizational, and language skills. I am fluent in Spanish which I learned to speak while in the Peace Corps in 1970 to 1971 in Puerto Rico and Nicaragua. My wife Lynne and I love to travel internationally as well as travel here in the US.

Maria,
Do you remember the days at Grover Cleveland Elementary School? That's where I first met you and my dearest friend John Owen when we were in the fifth grade. My parents bought a house in San Leandro in July, 1957 on Douglas Court around the corner from the drug store on Davis Street.
I use to get Facebook updates about the mini class of 1965 but I have not seen them for quiet some time.
I heard from David Bunday a few weeks ago. He seems to be all over the place with regard to the Pacific High School website. David lived on our street when we were kids.

Hey Marilyn,
I remember you having a boyfriend when we were at Pacific H.S. As I recall he was an upper classman. What was his name?
My wife and I have two grandson vis-a-vis my daughter. They are 1/4 Portugese with the last name of Vieira. My son is a life long sworn bachelor who lives with a Portugese girlfriend in San Luis Obispo. He doesn't want to carry on my Ashcraft name.

Hey Pat,
How are you and your family?
We got our Covid shots over a month ago. My wife Lynne made sure of that. We sold our home of 32 years in Alameda in May of 2015 and moved to Wilmington, NC to be near our daughter, Alison, age 41 and her family who live in Fayetteville. She is a grarphic artist and composes training manuals for the Army. My son Curtis, her twin brother, lives in San Luis Obispo and works for a fishing tackle company there.
My wife is retired from marketing and recycling manager. At the end of career she had her own business creating marketing tools for small businesses including web sites. My last job was managing a Section 8 senior housing in Hayward. My email address is cwashcraft@gmail.com.

Hey John, I see you have done well in life. We raised our twins, Curtis and Alison, in Alameda. After they were grown and moved out and Lynne's mother passing in 2011, we decided to move to North Carolina to be near Alison and her family. She lives in Fayetteville, NC and has two boys age 8 and 1.9 months. Our son Curtis lives in San Luis Obispo.
As I recall, you were close friends with Bruse Mosely in high school. I heard some years ago that he passed away. Do you know anything about that? He wasn't that old.
