Comments:

I moved to Massachusetts with my late husband in 1980 looking for a short term adventure. Here I am still! My husband (Bela Csikesz, class of 1971, Woodside Priory) died of a brain tumor in 2011. I worked in schools as a school psychologist or school counselor for 34 years. I retired in 2014. Now I do what I used to like to do more often. I ride a road bike, hike, read, travel, and take advantage of the cultural opportunities in Boston (Boston Ballet, Handel & Haydn, MFA, etc.).

I also have four grandchildren, all of whom are living in Massachusetts so I guess I am here for the duration, but I sure miss California.

School Story:

My family moved to Palo Alto from Santa Barbara at the beginning of my second semester of my junior year. It was not an easy time to move, but I met some really wonderful people and appreciate the experiences I had for the short time I was at Paly.

John Abrams was really friendly and supportive. My French background was not commensurate with what was needed in the French class at Paly and John tried to help me out. I persevered though and still love the language.

I remember AP English with Mr. Vittetoe the most. He seemed both world weary (or at least weary of teaching teenagers) but to be interested in getting us to think.

Happy Birthday! I am sure music will be a big part of your music celebration as well as contact with your wonderful children. Carpe Diem. It's a worthy milestone.

Well done, attending a protest. It's good to know at least some voters care about what is going on and are willing to speak up.

Congratulations on becoming a grandmother! The photo makes me laugh out loud. She is just adorable with that wreath on her head. What a great idea! I am sure you will enjoy every minute.

Hi Sarah, I just replied, I think, sending a private message. If you don't get it, let me know.

It must feel great to be able to get to the gym. I know how many health struggles you have had.

Roger, you are absolutely right about the lack of coverage of the IT outage and all its implications. The media and the voting public don't want to tackle information about difficult problems that we need to find solutions for such as climate change, rising health care costs, the IT system, water shortages, etc. etc. It's much easier to devote endless print to the political storms of the week rather than elevating the level of knowledge concerning what should be the real issues. That being said, I intend to watch today's stage of Tour de France, being held in the mountains. It should be as good as escapism gets. I love the photo of Mason as well as the other grandchildren's photos. They all put a smile on my face.
