Can we still call ourselves that without provoking the wrath of the politically correct gods?

Chuck Watkins and I married two years after graduation. He was attending USC and I was in nurses training. We were together eleven years and have four wonderful children together. Lucky for us we have remained friends and see each other at family events.

I met my future husband, Art, while working in Los Angeles. We moved to Avila Beach,Ca. in the late 60's.This month marked our 34th anniversary. We got involved with some sandal makers in Avila and eventually moved to the San Diego area.

Our factory in Tijuana, Mx. manufactured shoes, belts, bags,etc. Things went pretty well for a number of years, but competition from China forced us to "throw in the serape ."

We moved back to the central coast and have lived in Grover Beach for six years. Our lives are full. We have great kids and really great grandchildren.

I'm looking forward to the reunion and hope that the committee uses BIG PRINT on the name tags. Speaking of the committee---- hats off to Carolyn and her crew. What a job!
