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?

No

Love a short history of life! I came away with an improved understanding of evolution.

Congratulations on the hike! What tour group did you go with? I feel like I have a few challenging undertakings left to this body of mine--Patagonia is on the list to consider.

Thank you for thinking of Fenway. I must not have shared that Fenway had to go to dog heaven almost two years ago. He developed a mass in his stomach, hemangiosarcoma. He tried so hard to pretend nothing was wrong and still wanted to go for walks. But then day came where he could barely stand up. He was great company, especially during a snow storm. I haven't gotten another dog.
I was wondering how you were doing in New Jersey because I saw a weather report stating you were getting lots of snow. Weather stations do report things dramatically. It sounds like you get some delicious soup out of the day. Sorrel? I have never cooked with sorrel or eaten sorrel to my knowledge.
I'm working on my late brother's taxes. Making soup sounds more attractive.

Hawaii is always a good idea. Enjoy those precious grandchildren.

How thrilling to be state champs!

I am impressed you play chess. I love games but never was able to get interested in chess.

My grandchildren occasionally play games with me but seem to prefer screen time type games. Younger toddler age siblings who knock over boards and pieces don’t help the cause.

Thanks for the laugh about no one gets vaccines where you live so there are plenty for those that do. As I have mentioned to you, my sister lives in Joseph, Oregon and it's the same there.

Let's have a shout-out for Revere Wear. I still use my Mom's plus some supplements I bought, well, I guess it would be 43 years ago. Such a big number.
