Wife Pat and I moved from Vista, Ca to Murrieta, Ca into a Senior Apt. Complex to be closer to our daughter, Tracy, her husband and our grandchildren, Rachel and Jack. This was our first time; in ourr 54 years of marriage; that we've lived in an apartment I always planned on owning our homes but "Dang" this apt. living is "great" 'No longer have to pay repair bills or repair anything, as we used to.' Hahaha {{ We're both loving being able to have full control of our retirement time }} We have enjoyed many road trips { mainly in Ca. } even made a few to Las Vegas to catch some shows and drop a few coins in those money sucking machines. hahaha. Today is Feb-22nd and Pat and I have been in Covid Lockdown since Jan.5th. We're both well now and ready to break out. We're ready for hugs once again..( Thank you Lord )

Wow, let's see now...Okay, when i graduated from Tempe High I attended ASU for a couple of years then my family moved back to our hometown, New Orleans where I attended Loyola University for a while then USL in Lafayette, La. Left there. I worked for Boeing, at Michoud, in purchasing, as a Buyer of gears for the Saturn 5 Booster which was being built there. My wife, Pat, worked at the facility as an executive secretary and we first met there. We dated one time only. I joined Army Nat'l. Guard; went to Army basic training in Ft. Polk, La. for 6 months and upon returning asked Pat out and our dating wound up with us at the Altar.Our daughter ,Tracy was born in N.O. Worked at my Dad's furniture store for a few years. Pat, Tracy and I sold our home. Took a month long road trip and in late Dec. we wound up in Vista, Ca. {Pat 5 mos. pregnant} Steve born Apr. '75
I worked as a draftsman/digitizer for San Diego Gas @ Electric in San Diego till retirement at age 62 ...

Commercial Artist; but advised that best places to pursue that particular career would Dallas and New York. Now I know why I said-"Hell No", haha Somehow I must have known Texas would hit "single" digit Temperatures
and here in California still trying to get signatures to get Newsom Impeached or Recalled. Never wanted to even see New York let alone reside in a state whose Governor is even worst than California's. We're prepared to make the move to Mars if and when they find it's habitable.
Hahaha :-)

Friends, fellow students and weekend dances

Then - tunes to be able to dance to and understand words.

Now - old tunes on/from YouTube

{{ Prefer music that you can understand the words. }}

Not a big Movie Goer but do recall movie everyone went to in Scottsdale after Graduation; "Gone With The Wind". Imagine that one was chosen to keep students occupied for most of the remaining evening. Attended the
Graduation movie with fellow schoolmate, Brenda Gordon who I'd been dating at that time. The Gordon's moved to Tucson and when we left Tempe for New Orleans stopped to tell Brenda and her family goodbye.
Wow... This "vintaging" old mind is actually remembering things from bygone days...Kudos Al

Cannot remember his name; but one male teacher I had would walk around the classroom as he talked and you could see the top 2" of his "Flask" sticking out one of his back pockets..Wish he would have shared because his class was really boring. hahahaha

Life is what you make it, but not without bumps along the way. Try hard to always think positive and never stop smiling till you croak.

Fell backwards and hit the floor as I was leaving a slot machine at Harrah's. {Fell back into the aisle between the slots and the poker tables At least 25 to 30 people surrounded me, pulling up my shirt and t-shirt checking out my blood pressure, check breathing, applying pressure to areas asking if this or that hurt. The whole time all this was going on some gentleman had slipped his hand under my head and held it just off floor. After trying to convince everyone I was okay I was finally allowed to get up { seemed like I was there for 7 hours but Pat said it was only about 5 to 10 minutes. hahaha So after thanking everyone around me I sat at a slot out of everyone's view and just look directly into the slot screen. Grrrrr :-(
