Birthday:February 23 City:Marina del Rey State/Prov.:CA Country:US Occupation:Clinical Psychologist Website:drkentlifecoach.com Marital Status:Married No. of Children:3 Last Edited:2013-08-26 14:45:21

From Ellen:

The attached photo is of my husband, Bob, and me watching the Oscars on our wedding night in 2007. Being I did not know what to write about myself, please read the bio of me written by Bob on my art website: ellenkent.net. It sums up what I have done other than being a clinical psychologist.

As an update to the information on the website is the happenings of my three sons.

Damon (1975) is now retired! He and his girlfriend, Delia, live in Marina del Rey with no children YET! I am still optomistic.
Bryan (1979) is the executive chef at Milt's BBQ for the Perplexed in Chicago. The restaurant has been featured in American Ways Magazine and The New York Times. It was named #8 of the Top Ten Restaurants in Chicago. He and his wife, Sarah, live in Chicago with two daughters.
Max (1981) does "something." None of us really know what it is other than studying Torah. He never asks for money, so all is ok. He and his wife, Malky, live in Jerusalem, Israel with their four children (two boys and two girls, AND COUNTING. They seem to be on the two year plan. Go figure.
Bob has a son, Derek (1978), a children book author ("The Scary School" series) and a daughter, Jacqueline (1981). Jacqueline and her husand, Greg, have a son.

Suffice to say, the children are into major procreation. So far (between the two of us) there are seven grandchildren, ages six and under. I am aiming for eighteen, figuring Max will congtribute ten with the other four children contributing the rest.

From Richard:

"Don't know much about history.....don't know much biology.....don't know much"......so the 60's-70's-a basic blur in my book. Left HS - went to Viet Nam - came back - have had numerous careers across just about every working sector. Mostly, I have just been following the "shiny things on the beach" and going after whatever fascinates me at the moment. Still the eclectic I always was. I recognize some of the names here.........but, remember very little about specifics (so all your secrets are safe with me - CSR - Can't remember *&^% [stuff]). Looks like a lot of work went into the reunion. I am always amazed at such accomplishments. Glad to see folks are hanging in. Sorry to see that we have lost quite a few along the way as well. So, time to celebrate the best of times and the best of HS Graduating Classes....may I suggest the 1968 Chateau Mouton Rothschild? (at about $2000 a bottle) Only the best......for the best !!!!

From Robert:More fun than ever now ... :-) I went back to school when I was around 45. I took all the masters classes in multimedia, web coding, etc. The programming was easy for me since I was involved in that earlier ... Love it ... When I was in school, there were many calls coming in to hire all the students for web production. The web was just beginning. I worked for a number of the big high tech companies in the Bay Area and then started Neko Media Inc in 1999. The business is busier than ever now. With this type of business I can work from home, play guitar and NOT commute. woooo hoooo

From Joyce:

After graduating from Del Valle, I attended Brigham Young Univrersity. I later married and had 4 children-2 boys and 2 girls. I was able to stay home with the children while they were young. Later I went back to work part time and did insurance processing. The job was flexible and allowed me to travel frequently on business with my husband. We also enjoyed taking the children to see this beautiful country. We have some great memories. I no longer work and the only traveling I truly enjoy are the trips that include visiting children and grandchildren. We recently enjoyed being all together at Newport Beach. There were 19 of us!

This was written by Joyce for the 40th Reunion.

From Dave and Nancy:

We have worked at the same engineering consulting company for over 25 years and don’t plan to retire any time soon because we love our work and the people we work with. The year 2010 was a year of celebration (our 40^{th Anniversary and trip to Prague) as well as profound loss. Our daughter, Kristin, died at the age of 35 from congestive heart failure. Though we knew from birth that she had this challenge, she lived a full and happy life until her passing. She left behind her husband, Jake, and two precious grandsons who fill our lives with such fun, happiness and gratitude to her. Our daughter, Katie, continues to enjoy working as a Wine Marketing Manager and lives in the City while commuting to Napa. Dave still loves cars and working in our beautiful yard and I enjoy entertaining in our home and spending time with our grandsons whenever we can. We are so thankful to God for our blessings and his loving support during the hard times.}
