    Computers are great!... Now we are able to get in touch and read about other South Gate High School friends… I attended San Gabriel Elementary, South Gate Jr and Sr High school… I went through school with the class of W’55 but graduated with S’54… I married Walt Lund of South Gate, May 1955 and we lived in South Gate a few years then one year in Lynwood then to Downey for 14 years then finally to Whittier in 1972...  Walt and I had 2 sons and a daughter who blessed us with 14 grandchildren who are now ages 4 to 19.
    Walt and I divorced in 1974 and I remarried in 1981 to Don Olejnik who has 2 daughters who blessed him with 5 grandchildren, ages 5 to 17… Our total together = 19… Were we blessed or what???
   Don was an engineer in the Aero Space Industry and retired in 1995… He is an active Amateur Radio Operator (ham) and a Disaster Communications Volunteer… I also have a amateur radio license… We bought a truck and camper and do a lot of traveling/camping… After traveling the U.S., we have decided So Cal (Whittier) is the place we plan to stay...
  Thanks to Dave Mandeville for doing a great job on this fine website… (a.o)
