I was just recently contacted by the Reunion Committee, and so, I will attempt to put together aÝquick bio for you.Ý Just a short note before IÝbegin.....ÝI started this task by reading some of the latest bios posted on the web page.Ý Seems so many of our 76ers have had their share of struggles over the years.ÝÝWe all know that lifeÝcan be full of disappointments (career hardships, divorce, illness, the loss of loved ones, the loss of our own classmates).Ý However, when I "caught up" withÝall of youÝon the web, I realized that each and every one of you who have experienced theseÝtrying tinesÝhave had the courage to face each new day with renewed hope and determination.Ý My heart, admiration, respect, and prayers go out to all of you who have successfully accepted your challenges on a daily basisÝand have become a better, stronger person along the way! Ý Having said that, I know that I am truly blessed.Ý After attending Chabot College, I was employed by several companies for a period of approximately two years each (Transamerica Airlines in Oakland, ÝHumphrey Instruments in San Leandro, and TheÝSan Francisco Hilton and Towers).Ý Most recently, I spentÝ6 years selling commercial real estateÝat Harbor Bay Business Park (located in Alameda), then moved on to become the Marketing Director for the same Developer for 3 more years.Ý SinceÝthat job included both public relations and advertising, IÝleft to conduct someÝ independentÝconsulting with various advertising and print companies in San Francisco prior to joining forces with my husband's business efforts.Ý I married Ian Berney, my dateÝat our 15th Year Class Reunion, 12 years ago.ÝHe is, by degree, an aeronautical engineer, my best friend, and the love of my life.Ý We were not blessed with children, but weÝare blessed withÝ15 nieces and nephews from the "Cunha" side of the family and 3 more from my husband's side; so, actually, we have lots of children in our lives!ÝÝ Two years ago, Ian and I moved from our home in Contra Costa County to Donner Lake in the Tahoe area, and we love it!ÝÝSince winter up here can get pretty extreme, we also live part-time in Maui, Hawaii.Ý At the present time, we are both semi-retired, allowing us to enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, skiing and traveling.Ý Over the last few years, we have explored Greece, Turkey, France, Italy, Spain, the Caribbean, Eastern and Western Canada, Alaska (a two-month camping and fishing trip...fabulous), Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji, Costa Rica, and next October and November we will finally get to Australia!Ý Life is good, and I look forward to seeing all of you in November!Ý Thanks for finding me.
