Alex & Kathy Monterrosa in AntarcticaHello to all of my classmates in the Trojan Class of 1964! I loved seeing you for our 40th and hope to see you at our 50th in 2014. We have a building project that is going on at our lake property about 65 miles outside of Anchorage. We're moving from a small, cozy cabin with no running water and a porta-potty to a lake house with all of the amenities. Hooray, no more porta-potty!! I can't leave the project right now so will be unable to attend our reunion. Sure would be nice to meet with some of you for lunch when I do come down to the Bay Area early next year.
I retired from teaching here in Anchorage in 1996. Since then, Alex and I have been educational consultants mainly teaching social skills. We work for Princess Cruises and Tours during the summer both on the train and at the terminal. In fact, I was delighted to see Kathy (O'Brien) Harais and her sister Delores and their husbands aboard one of the trains. We got a chance to "catch up." I am also involved with the Usher-in-the-Arts program at the Anchorage Performing Arts Center. We are finishing a run of The Lion King which has been a successful show here. So many people from the outlying villages have come to see it.
Alex (St. Ignatius '64) and I have lived in Alaska now for 34 years. We have one son, Antonio, who is a writer. He and his wife, Willow, have three children and are also living in Anchorage. Like many of you, we have grandparent duty.
Besides the cruising benefits from Princess, we've had a chance to see a lot of the U.S. in our Roadtrek camper van which we keep stored in San Jose. Visiting our national parks is a priority for us. We love San Francisco, though, and will always be Giants and 49er fans!
Please let me know if any of you are coming up this way for a visit. Our number is (907)333-0916. There is always room in the house for a fellow Trojan! God bless you all!
