In 1970 Jim my twin brother and I moved to Hawaii . My dad was a Col in the Army and was much needed there as he was a social worker and back then lots of military people needed his help. My mom was also a social worker...and because of their jobs I think they kind of understood some of the crazy things we did back then !!! They moved back to Terra Linda in 1974 Jim and I graduated in 1972 and chose to stay in Paradise. Jim eventually moved back to Calif...but I stayed here in this lovely state. I married and moved to Maui which is a much nicer island than where we graduated which was Honolulu.I had 4 beautiful children 2 boys and 2 girls...and now I have 9 grandchildren all residing here on Maui.
My brother Jim struggled with alcohol and drugs till 2 years before he passed away. He died in 2001. Being clean and sober for 2 years and just starting to get on the liver list...but died before that happened. He loved life to the fullest. We had a very special twin bond . There is not a day in my life that I don't see his smile...shining down on me !!!!
I divorced in 1996...and have just remarried to a wonderful man name Dave on Dec. 17 2009.I kept my maiden name..Keeping it close to my heart and to my twin. My mother still lives in Calif and I visit her every year now...usually in the summer.She just moved to Sacramento from Terra Linda to be closer to my brother Bob.
Would love to hear from anyone that remembers us. Aloha for now...Barbara
