Surprise, AZ

I have lived in Surprise, AZ, since 2012 when I took early retirement from San Jose and brought my mom with me so I could care for her full-time as she journeyed through Alzheimer's. My business career has been diverse, ending with 25 amazing years in the not-for-profit sector as a professional fundraiser and event planner for a variety of Bay Area organizations. I am active in my local community as a Rotarian, a Board member and a volunteer. I also write articles, as well as a blog, about being a caregiver to an Alzheimer's patient that hopefully helps other people going through the same challenge. I travel a bit and stay in touch with many of my '68 classmates thanks to Facebook. I do see a handful of them periodically when I visit the Bay Area or they visit Arizona. Have a great time at the reunion!! (updated 6/10/18)

(Updated 10/10/16) Here is some information on me. After high school? I had a number of troubling years. At the age of 19, I got married to my first husband. Big mistake. The only good thing that came out of that marriage was my daughter. We got a divorce when my daughter was just 3 months. After the divorce. I sold jewelry for a woman at craft fairs. Then I started my own jewelry business. I went bust when I attempted to make my business larger. After the jewelry bust I decided I wanted to become a nurse. First I worked as a nursing assistant. Then became an LVN. I really wanted my RN, so I worked full time, and took courses in the evening to get into RN school. In 1994I became an RN, and worked in all area's of the medical field. My last 16 years I worked with the severely mentally ill. I worked as a unit manager, with most of my time as the Assistant director of Nursing. I remarried in 1979 to Randy. We have been married since. Only one daughter, that I had when I was 19. We are very close. Have owned and lived in the same house since 1983. Now enjoying being retired.

Online Obituary

Vic, Scott Durnford and I were best friends through Kennedy Jr. High and Lynbrook H.S. Vic died an early death from a fast growing cancer, but he still managed to get married and have three beautiful daughters. After H.S. he worked a few years at Pacific Bell in business phone systems engineering. His parents still live "across the court" from my folks in Cupertino on Terrace Drive. We really missed Vic after his untimely passing. - Mark Hensian (6/17/08)

Living happily ever after in Eugene, Oregon with Roger my wonderfully fabulous husband of 18 years.  My step-sons have recently returned to the nest.  Dylan, 26, and his wife Tory (along with their dog and 3 cats) are recently out of the Army and now in school; and Drue, 22, and his girlfriend Andrea (along with their dog) are recently out of school and unexpectedly pregnant.  Our first grand-baby is due mid-October.  Fly away little children, fly away!  Did I mention my mother-in-law lives with us, too?  Ah, well, it's all good.

Kent was one of a group of students taking Bio-Ecology at the Summer School session at Cupertino High, just before Lynbrook was to start in the Fall. Kent, Ron Landrum, Don Wiggin, and others were the first future classmates I met outside of the Homestead group I was coming from. Kent always had a love for the natural world, and especially for tropical fish, something I shared with him and Ron (although my fish always ended up dying!). I remember talking to him at reunions about how he was still able to stay involved with fish. Reading his obituary, it's obvious it was a life-long love of his. I will miss talking to him at reunions. - Geoff Gould, 6/13/17
