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.

Do you want to NEVER hear from a Paly Reunion again?

Thank you for sharing the photo of Dick on his hike. Pinnacles is such a fascinating place. He looks very happy.

That was very enterprising of you. A friend of mine mentioned to me recently that he located dry chorizo through Amazon when he couldn’t get it at local stores. Quality ingredients are essential. ??

Sherrye, I am so sorry Katie has to go through this and that all of you will also be going through it with her. The words brain and surgery just make your heart stop. I know of several people who went through similar situations and while scary, all was absolutely fine post-operation. They have made such strides in treatment.

Mary, that's great news about Dick. Thank goodness such effective treatments are available. Your family photo is lovely. Being with grandchildren is great, but being with all the grandchildren at the same time is even better.

Mary, I am sorry you need to have rotator cuff surgery but am shocked at your Portland doctor's negativity. I have three friends in our age range who recently have had rotator cuff surgery successfully, one at Stanford (maybe the same surgeon who will do yours) and two had it done in Boston. Yes, the convalescence is long and frustrating, but worth it. You and Dick have had a lot to contend with in the past year.

The view from your AirBnB looks wonderful. I hope it has a decent kitchen so you aren't too frustrated when cooking. I'm glad to hear you are taking the moving challenges in stride. It's a lot to deal with.
