Hi Classmates:
Can anyone remember when it was Friday and could not wait until the last bell rang? Now time is running away from us. Never enough hours in a day to do what we would like to achieve.

It has been over 100 degrees here mixed in with the LA County fires. They call it smoke and surf.

John and I reside in Claremont, CA. (outside of Los Angeles).
Tony and Shinobu have two children, Alec (9) and Annette (5) and reside in La Canada, CA
Chris and Debi have two children Brandon (11) and Maykala (7) and reside in Cherry Valley, CA
Heather and Francisco reside in Heidelberg, Germany.

I am currently employed as a medical transcriber and office manager for a local doctor. One of the perks with this job is that I can walk to work. In the past, I was an Administrative Assistant for the Developmentally Disabled.

I have been busy with the music company, my partner and I founded in 1991. The music consists of classical new age music. I also design semiprecious custom, one a kind jewelry pieces. I also have a license agreement to design jewelry for college sororities. The companies can be found be found on the web under Villa-Loba Music (www.mystrioriginals.com/villalobamusic/cds.htm)
Beautiful classical guitar, flute and guitar.

We are coming to Wisconsin on September 10th to attend the Wisconsin-Fresno game (I've included a picture of me & Bucky at last year's game). Activities I have been involved in are the Claremont Wildlands Conservancy as a Program and Outreach Chairman. Fun stuff includes needle felting, jewelry design, oil painting, working at music concerts, restoring our 1907 home and traveling (Africa, Europe, Central America, and Asia.) After meeting Heather in Heidelberg, we traveled to Rome, Capri, and Pompeii in April 2009. The "Now" picture is John and me in a pub in Heidelberg.

Have a wonderful reunion. Best, Jayne (Link) Robertson
