E-mail: BruceLAnderson@Hotmail.com
Marrital status: Single. I have NOT found anyone who can put up with me!
Children: None that I know of. (yes, I know that is a bad joke).
Lives in: Newark, CA (no, I did NOT stray far from the nest!) 40 Years!
What I've Been Up To: Recently laid off from Cortext Mind Matters Education Seminars (in Palo Alto, CA). While I was there, they definitely took care of us (i.e. every two weeks, the company paid for us to have a massage... on company time)! Worked for several other companies over the years such as: Jinwoong, Inc. (they manufacture 80% of the tents used in this country). I (literally) had a job changing light bulbs for a living! I changed them in traffic signals! I would NOT have done that job if I had to climb a ladder. I drove a "bucket truck." That is like a pick up truck with a hydraulic lift in the back. I worked alone. The only part of the job I did NOT like was when I was in the air and the controls mal-functioned. I could NOT get down! That was alright since I was paid by the hour! I was stuck in the air one day, and, there was a police officer at the light (in his car). I yelled: hey, I am stuck up here! Can you help me get down? He said: sure. Just let me turn around. He drove off, and, NEVER came back! Is it my breath?
I managed five McDonald's restaurants in this area when I was a kid (Age: 25)! I have been sales Manager for A.L.Williams during the eighties. I have also been a district manager for the Argus newspaper. In short my occupational career has been quite diversified! I imagine I do NOT need to mention the fact that during the time of the last reunion, I taught "Comedy Traffic School" for a living!
Graduate of USF (University of Southern Fremont, a.k.a. Ohlone College) in 1980. I have a highly specialized degree (Liberal Arts)! That will NOT even get me on the bus!
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the twenty-five year reunion. It only seems as if we have been out of school for about ten years. YOU must be OLD! I am sure glad I am NOT!

Occupation: Regional Network Sales Engineer
Marital Status: Married - 20 years
Spouse/Partner's name: Cindy
Lives in: Newark
Children: Twin Girls - 17 - Sheena and Stephanie
What You've been up to: After Newark High I moved to Hayward/Union City for about 4 years while I went to Ohlone, Chabot and CSUH and worked for a title company as a statistical supervisor???????? Went to work at Pac Bell/AT in 1981, got married and bought our current house in Newark (was suppose to be temporary - ha ha). The twins arrived 2 months early in 1984. I then went on a 2 week business trip, 4 days after they were born (while they were in ICU/mothers day hit on the middle weekend) - still, rightfully, have not lived that trip down. In 1987 I left AT for First Interstate Bank (office was in the Fremont building with the helicopter on top) as an IT director. In 96 I became a member of the school district's technology committee. It has been fun to see the district evolve. Then I left the bank about a year after the Wells take over (1997) and came over to Lucent/Avaya. Finally completed my BS degree in business management THIS month - took about a class a year.
The last 25 years has been a blast. My career has allowed me to treat myself and family to some pretty cool travel destinations, often subsidized by corporate money. I have also become a baseball stadium fanatic, we've been to all but 5 stadiums, some that are gone too and all of the spring training facilities - I'm a little obsessed. Even check out some minor league ball too, went to a SJ Giant game with Bruce A. and "Wild" Bill Schord last spring. In addition, the family is hooked on collecting Hard Rock (been to 42) pins. I still play B-ball whenever I get the chance, golf, dive (warm water only), ski, backpack, etc. Still have hair and no gray to speak of - life is good.
I see many Newark grads around town (4 on my street alone) and at Newark Memorial events. I always thought that I would make the 25th reunion (have not made the others), but we will still be on vacation that weekend - hope everyone has a great time.

life. My wife Lauren works for Butte County as a

Location: I live in Grover Beach (Pismo Beach is actually in Grover),

What I've been up to: I'm still working on the premise that playing is the most important thing in life and work is somewhere down the list a way. I went
to school at Chabot and Cal Poly, then was lucky enough to land a job with
the school district here and start my business. Living on the Central
Coast is a little bit of heaven. Summer vacations often find me with my
passport in hand standing in a foreign airport where I don't speak the
language. I've crewed on a sailboat that went around the world, gotten my
private pilot's license, taken up surfing and cross-country skiing, and
been open for just about every adventure inbetween. I finally figured out
that if I take classes while I travel, I can write it off on my taxes. So
I've been to Spain the past two summers, and I plan to study in Buenos
Aires this June and July. More recently, I spent Thanksgiving and
Christmas surfing in Sayulita. Looking forward to catching-up with
everyone this summer!

Occupation: Telecommunications Installer
Marital status: Married 20 yrs
Spouse: Paul Parkinson (Irvington / 75)
Lives in: Elizabeth, Colorado
Children: 2 girls
What I've been up to: I now live in Colorado with my husband of 20 years, Paul, and my two daughters, Mollie and Taylor. We migrated in 1995, after the new airport opened here in Denver and Paul was able to secure a transfer with his
employer, United Airlines. We share about 3 1/2 acres with 3 horses, 2
dogs, 1 cat and a bunny. O.K., ANCIENT HISTORY time. After an incomplete run
at college, I went to work as an installer for Western Electric. That's where
I met my husband. I bounced around the Bell system for about 10 years before
opting for an early retirement after Taylor was born. I spent the next 12
years developing my Interior Design business. It was great fun and a good
flexible job while the kids were small, but a change in family dynamics made
it necessary for me to "get a real job" about 4 years ago, and of course, I
landed right back in communications. In fact, the very same Western Electric,
now answering to Lucent Technologies. And yes, I'm a little nervous! But so
far, I still have a job. I enjoy my work, especially the part where I get to
wear jeans and tennis shoes! Dressing up occasionally is fun, but not as a
steady diet. My life revolves around my kids, like most parents. Mollie will
be 17 in Sept. and will be a senior in 2001-2002. She is a most interesting
young woman. The face of an angel with a sharp and analytical mind. Don't
enter the waters of politics, history or literature with my little girl
unless you know what your talking about! She'll eat you alive! Then there's
miss social butterfly, Taylor. Just 13, but already turning heads, to her
fathers dismay! Compact and athletic, she's crazy for horses and plays
catcher on her softball team. Paul is still with United, and after 14 years
as a maintenance mechanic, fixing, recalibrating, modifying and band aiding
everything from air conditioners to fire cannons, he's pretty darn handy to
have around the house. Still pretty good scenery too! But the most recent
history is the reunion. It was the best party I've been to in years,
including my own! I really didn't want to go, and wouldn't have, if it hadn't
been for my wonderful freinds,Melissa Foster, Patti Pomerlee, and Robin
Chapman. They bribed me with a no husband, no kids weekend. Thanks guys. For
some reason we think that time has stood still for our classmates, while it
continues, unrelenting, for us. Guess what, we're all 25 years older! So if
you didn't come because your 300 lbs or bald or have been married 13 times,
we missed you, we love you, and we want to see you at the 30th. And Denise,
you better email me girl!

What I've been up to: After graduation, I kept working for Thrifty Drugs in their management program while living in Fremont. Moved to Sacramento in the early 80s where I met my wife. In 1991, we decided it was time for change so I quit Thrifty and took a year off. During that year I went back to school at Sacramento City College. No degree, but learned medical transcription and found a job at a medical office in Sacramento. We sold our house in Sacramento and moved to Oklahoma City in the Fall of 1993. Lived in OKC for year and a half and hated it (not too pretty). We now live in the small town of Blanchard, population around 2500. It is definitely a slower lifestyle, which suits my wife and I perfectly. I started working for my current employer as a medical transcription supervisor in the medical records department, then made the switch to Information Technology in 1995 and have been doing that ever since. Much more enjoyable than working in retail. All in all, my life has turned out very well. I have a wife that I love, kids that I love, and a lifestyle that I love. What more can a person ask for?

tour then. Spent some time at Ohlone and checking out universities. Settled
in Berkeley area. Worked various sales jobs from cars to antique rugs to real
estate. Got involved in investigating my roots which in my case took me on
several trips to Hong Kong. Married a Brazilian woman(before Pugh. Sorry Mike
but I want the record straight, lol). Started a screen process printing
business (Basically a T-shirt business) that did pretty well. Bought some
rental property along the way. Sold the business in '92 and moved to
Brazil(also before Mike, lol. It is quite a coincidence.). Opened and ran
(with my wife's invaluable help) the best little English school in a beach
city called Santos. Taught four hours of eighth grade English a day at Escola
Americana de Santos, coordinated the English department and believe it or not
was voted favorite teacher by the graduating class, lol. Traded dollars,
traded in the markets and traveled throughout Brazil. Moved back to the
states in the late '96. Toured the USA(we love Manhattan, anyone else?). Set
up home base in the Berkeley area. Go back to Brazil for about 4-6 weeks
about once a year. Speak terrible Portuguese (Mike's is infinitely better).
Very involved in the market and yea I got killed last year, lol. Still
working on a book I started in Brazil and am published under a nom de plume
on some financial websites. Instead of having a mid-life crisis I'm having a
baby boy in September. And that's all you're getting out of me! Lol.
I'd kinda like to go to the reunion but it's been soooo long and you all are
sooo old.Lol. Anyone know what I mean? If I do go I'll have this printed up
as a hand out. Please have your's ready. Lol
Either way, peace and tranquility to the survivors gathered here, we've all
made it through plenty and Modeana, sorry about slave day, I should have
given you more notice. Ah, the best and worst of times...well sorta, lol.
Gotta go now.

Living in Renton, WA since '85.
What I've been up to: Went to Chabot for 1/2 year, worked and played in Tahoe then moved to Seattle in '78 and never made it back. Went to a CC in Seattle, then to Univ. of Idaho for a year (1.6 gpa, they asked that I not come back) then up to Spokane where I settled down sort of and was finally able to graduate in 1985 from Whitworth College. Nothing like having to pay for yourself to motivate and finish. Worked for Boeing in purchasing for a couple of years then switched sides and sold the same stuff back. Started up on my own in '92 and seem to get fewer days off every year. Love to hear about those who have traveled overseas and stayed but am very happy up in the wet. We live 4 miles from a Boeing factory but still have 5 acres and a barn, with deer and coyotes crossing through daily so even though winter can seem to go on and on, the green in the summer makes up for it.
