Marilyn Ables Twamley and Jim Twamley
writes:
Bio: Jim has been in the military most of the time since we got married so we've moved a
lot. First he was a medic in the Army and we lived in Belgium for three years. Then
college took us to Costa Mesa and Fresno where he graduated from MBBS with a MDiv. After
that he was a navigator in the Air Force which took us to Sacramento, Travis AFB and
then to Omaha, Nebraska where he flew KC-135s(the "Looking Glass") out of Omaha,
Nebraska for four years. Now he is a Navy chaplain and we've lived in Novato, Stockton,
Manteca, and currently Visalia. During the time we lived in Stockton and Manteca he
attended law school and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1994. However, lest you
think we've settled here, we're headed for Ft. Worth, Texas in less than a month and plan
to be there three years till our youngest son graduates from high school. People often ask
if I mind moving - no, I don't. Jim says he's created a monster! He's ready to settle
down, but for now I'm content packing up and seeing someplace new every few years. I've
mostly been a stay-at-home mom since October 1980 when David was born. Then we adopted
three daughters in June of 1982 and had one more son in September of 1982, so that was
enough to keep me busy. Over the years I've worked part time for IBM, part time at my
kids' schools, have volunteered to run a food pantry, and currently I'm doing paralegal
work out of our home.
Kids: Lori and Ronda live in Washington. Michelle lives here in Visalia and just got
married July 11th. David graduated #1 in his high school class of 430 on June 5th. He
plays piano and pole-vaulted all four years. John just finished his freshman year. He's a
good student, plays trumpet, wrestles and pole vaults.
See Photos for a picture of Jim & Marilyn's
children at their daughter Michelle's wedding on 7/11/98. |

baseball and soccer. Brian holds the all-time record in Rancho Cordova Little League for
most home runs in a season. Both kid's soccer teams took 2nd in the State in 1997.
Comments: It has been fun being on the reunion committee and getting in touch with old
friends. Hopefully people will continue to get the word out about the reunion and help us
find the rest of the "lost" classmates so we will have a good turnout. |

"Six Women With Brain Death...Or Expiring Minds Want To Know" at The Studio
Theatre in Sacramento. The Sacramento Bee Theater Capsule review, which gives the play 4
(out of4) stars, reads "Deliciously clever comedy with unobtrusive overtones of
philosophy (feminist), politics (liberal), and religion (pragmatic), plus snappy music
delivered by a female sextet with good voices and razor-sharp timing." Shows are at 8
PM Thurs.-Sat. and 7 PM Sun., through August 23rd; 1028 R St.; $11-$15; 446-2668. Marie
doesn't "do reunions" anymore, but friends are welcome to contact her
one-on-one. See Class Directory. Thanks for the
free publicity!!! |
Kim Baker writes:
Together Kim and Sunny Baker are collectors in their own right. A typical
Baker purchase—on a good day—was a $225 art deco breakfront found in a
Vancounver, Canada junk shop later valued (and sold) for $4,500. It cleared
a profit of $4,225 without so much as a cleaning. On weekends they take
friends to auctions and browse the antique stores for amusement.
In the last ten years, the Bakers have authored twenty-four trade books on a
wide range of subjects with Alpha Books, Random House, McGraw-Hill, Avery
Publishing, Prentice-Hall, John Wiley & Sons, and other publishers. Their
first book was a restaurant review guide for suburban Seattle, titled
Eastside Eats (Homestead Books, 1987). Many of the Baker’s books have
translated and/or been picked up by major book clubs.
Kim and Sunny are also contributing editors for the Journal of Business
Strategy, and write articles for a variety of popular publications. Prior to
securing their writing careers, Sunny and Kim were executives in
high-technology companies including Microsoft and Intel. The Bakers reside
in Redlands, California where Sunny Baker is a professor of telecommunications
(Internet) at University of Redlands.

Grade_school: Grand Oaks Elementary and Rocklin Elementary
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Dederian. He taught Civics and it was my favorite
class because of the way he taught it. We were given an assignment to create
a foreign policy for a chosen country. It was so interesting to be able to
delve into the political aspects of the entire process. I have often thought
of him. I feel that he is partly responsible for my career choice. I am a
Paralegal, but my job is with a private lobbying firm. I deal with
legislators and legislation on a daily basis. It is an incredibly
interesting job.

Kim Benedetti Burnap writes:
Occupation: technical writer
Bio: I haven't climbed Mt. Everest, visited the African Jungles, or worked in the Peace
Corps. I'm just your average family Mom working to make ends meet. Our children play
baseball, basketball, tennis, do gymnastics, belong to scouts and are typical modern kids
wanting portable CD players. In addition I play softball, volleyball, golf, and go on
weekend golfing and softball get-aways with friends. As a family we ski, go the Seattle
Mariners' baseball games, and play frisbee, ping pong, and basketball. We're happy,
healthy, and like living in Oregon. It's been 20 years since I moved to Corvallis and I've
been married 18 of those same years to Ed Burnap, a network administrator.
Trivia: I'v done many things over the course of 25 years and maybe some of them are
interesting or special to me and/or my family for our environment but wouldn't necessarily
strike the same chord in everyone else.

Bio: I left Encina after my Junior year and finished High School at Aptos High in
Santa Cruz County. My parents bought a grocery store on the beach, and I worked there
until I could get away to college. I attended Cabrillo College, California Maritime
Academy, College of the Redwoods, and San Jose State. I obtained a BS in business from San
Jose State, and then attended law school at Hastings College of Law in San Francisco. I
spent three years as an insurance defense attorney in the San Francisco Financial
District, and I have practiced the last twelve years in Santa Clara and Santa Cruz
counties. My current practice focuses on business disputes and general civil litigation.
My wife's name is Maria Gaura; and we both moved to the same neighborhood in Aptos in
1972. She is now a staff reporter in the South Bay for the San Francisco Chronicle. We
permanently moved back to Santa Cruz from San Francisco around 1987. We live downtown, in
an old Victorian, with a large garden, a good number of books, and two cats. We have a bun
in the oven due about October.
I don't get to Sacramento very often, but I am going to try to get to
grad night for the reunion. I can't make the reunion itself. Hello everybody! |

Todd Brownell writes:
Bio: After Encina I attended CSU-Chico and graduated with a Business Degree in Accounting.
I worked in the main office of Tower Records for 6 years as the Cash Manager. After that I
figured they could manage without me and spent a number of years doing bookkeeping. I
attempted some import business antics during all of this and managed to squeeze in many
years of volleyball officiating at all kinds of levels. A few tours with the U.S. Olympic
Team for officiating offered many opportunities to meet some interesting people. One week
before the Olympics I even forwarned the Men's team that they were a bunch of hotheads and
it might cost them some day. Alas, they paid no heed, received a red card at the Olympic
games, lost the match to Japan, and the rest is history. I haven't taken the opportunity
to tell them "I told you so!" I decided it was time to get a real job, wife, and
family and went back to school to get a teaching credential. I also met my terrific wife,
Janet, and snuck in my first kid before my 40th birthday. I now have two kids ages 3 and
1. (Sorry - can't impress anyone with grandkids.) I'm now teaching 5th grade in the small
town of Maxwell. (It's so small the sign says 'Welcome to Maxwell' on both sides.) I chose
elementary school because. . well, those of you with teenage kids know why. I'm living in
Willows, CA on 1 acre with family, two dogs, a cat, and no goat. The dogs ate the goat.
Friends: At the reunion I would like to see anyone that doesn't try to impress me with how
much money they make. |

sheriff. During that time I created a program for keeping persons out of jail by educating
and reprograming, its called Whispering Encouragement, it's copywritten. I have received a
letter of support from Vice President Gore for my program. During the 1996 campaign I
worked special events for now Congressman Jim Gibbons. Since January of this year I have
been assigned to the Second Judicial District Court as a bailiff. (All Rise)...........In

year. A couple of years ago she had a modeling contract with Nevada Casting and during
that time did a commercial for the Boomtown Casino. Sarah is very social while her sister
is more reserved. The two of them are very close and as sisters go they fight and bicker
all the time. They keep busy with sports and other school activities and stay out of
trouble. |

Occupation: Vice President, Ward Associates Advertising Agency
Bio: As I write this entry, I find it hard to believe we've been out of high school for 25
years. I still feel eighteen, and try to prove it as often as I can!
I've stayed in Sacramento since graduation, a decision I have never regreted. It's
given me an opportunity to remain close to my family, which is very important to me. My
parents still live on Ellington Circle, their residence for over 41 years. Both are happy
and healthly and I cherish them everyday. My sister Lisa (Class of 75) is married to Bill
Wicks, a neighborhood "boy" who grew up on La Via Way. My brother Mark (Class of
78) and his wife Susan have two adorable kids, Jessa (age 10) and Connor (age 5). It's fun
to be an aunt!
I've been married for nine years to Dennis Colbert. We met at an advertising agency
in 1984, and both continue to work in the business today. Except for the fact that he
doesn't like the Stones or the Beatles...he's just about perfect.
I don't have any human children, but am the loving and devoted mother of a Moluccan
Cockatoo named Lexi, a Cocktiel named Rufie (originally named Rufus after my
grandfather...but "he" turned out to be a "she"), a dog named Koala,
and a cat named Emerald. They are my babies! Animals have always been my passion and I've
been fortunate to beable to work on their behalf through my agency. I wrote and produced a
public service announcement for the SPCA about animal overpopulation to raise awareness
about the importance of spaying and neutering. I'm also involved in projects for the
Sacramento Zoo and for the Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights. I'm one of the
lucky ones...I really love my job. It's ever changing, challenging and creative.
These days, my off-time addictions include music (no, I have no talent, but I
like to listen), boating and quality time with friends and family. Can't wait to see all
of you at the reunion!
A personal note: My thoughts are with the families of Glenn Vranas and Dale
Anderson...two childhood friends I've known since Cottage School days. I will miss them.

Occupation: Engineer/Sales Rep
Bio: BS Electrical and Electronic Engineering at CSUS 1979.
Worked at Texas Instruments in Lubbock Texas for 3 years as a design engineer, then as a
test equipment sales engineer for Hewlett Packard in Sacramento and San Mateo until 1992.
Backpacked around the world in 1993/94, through the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia,
Indonesia, Thailand (although I never found "The Beach"), China, Mongolia, and a
little bit of Europe until I found Ireland where I lived til 1996. Back to work for HP to
make a living again in Colorado til Jan 1999. Spent '99 hanging out in Boulder, and
travelling. Took the Trans-Siberian Railway in October for 2 weeks, spent a month at
Esalen in November studying Tai Chi, and just returned from 2 months in Ireland in the
Aran Islands where I plan to buy a house later this year.
Trivia: I've never been married.
Friends: Mark Garcia is still my best friend.
Kathleen Jordan ('71) is still one of my best friends.
Claire Mower: we'd gone our separaate ways although we stayed in contact through Rene
Hardre, who is still a friend of mine.
Richard Hill: I'm not in contact with him but I'm in contact still with his mom.
Jan Bergen, who moved to Colorado and one day in 1996 thru a friend there I happened to
meet her daughter (we figured out the connection because her daughter is 6'3", and I
mentioned that I'd had a very tall friend in high school in California in the early '70's,
etc!).
Jan Willis I lost contact with ages ago
Debbie Smith I lost contact with her after Encina
Garlanda Bryant: I lost contact with her until '94 when a friend told her about my travels
and he wanted us to meet!
Tom Schirle: I was friends with him in 9th grade...does anyone know where he is?
Hobbies: photography, hiking, cafe latte's anywhere, travelling.
Favorite_teachers: Mr. Huber: he gave me so much grief, and challenged me because I was a
slacker and I guess he knew I had more potential than I gave myself credit. I ran into him
in the early 80's at a little league game and I told him he had made a huge difference to
me, when I was studying engineering and there were times I didn't think I could get thru
the program, I always thought 'I'll show him!'.
Favorite_memory: I can't say this is my favorite memory (I have many), but this is
probably the most significant in many ways: walking in the rain with Claire without
umbrellas every day every winter, and splashing each other in the puddles, and coming home
from school soaking wet. I still don't own an umbrella.

Occupation: Realtor, Wife of a Realtor (Looking for Listings),
Fulltime Mom, and Aspiring Artist (Looking for Commissions) (is that
shameless?)
Bio: After enjoying a number of years goofing off in university and in
travel, I fell in love and had 2 brilliant children just prior to turning
40.
I spent several years partnered with my husband Jim at Coldwell Banker in
Roseville, but now am a fulltime mom and he's flying solo with 1st American
in Granite Bay. 797-6794
And now at the age of 47, I am still in love. With my husband.
We have a third child who is part golden retriever and part golden lab, a
retrieveadoor you might call him. He retrieves socks with holes in them and
branches from trees we have just planted.
Lucy and Phoebe and Cowboy Joe keep me busy these days, although I try to do
a new painting every week.
Plus, I still keep my Realtor's license for when I eventually will catch
cabin fever from being home with the kids.
Trivia: Until I married I liked to do cool and exciting things like
parachute and scuba dive, but life with kids changes a person. Trying to
explain why the kids have to wear bicycle helmets and I don't is not as easy
as when my parents would state, "Because I said so."
Hobbies: I paint. Landscapes, portraits. In acrylics and oils. And I like
them, a lot - but my kids enjoy picking on the details, "oh mom, the legs
need to be longer," or "ah, mother, you made the head tooo big," and, "is
it...supposed to be an abstract??" Everybody's a critic.
Kids: Lucy Marin Walker, aged 9, wishes she were named Hermione.
Phoebe Rose Walker, aged 7, almost named Phoebe Independence if she'd been
born one day earlier in July.
Lucy and Phoebe have been raised as individuals, both really bright, which
makes life challenging. every. single. day.
And my dog Cowboy Joe, who is almost 2 years old, he pretends to be one of
the girls. He, too, is quite the individual. The stories I could tell...
Favorite_memory: Driving to Mexico. Tasting HOT for the first time at the
border - it lasted for several hours afterwards. Wondering how we managed
to not crash when Denisa Smith's father would hand out advise such as: Never
let up the momentum on your driving speed especially if trying to pass on a
2-lane twisting country road. I learned well, I am still alive and love the
chilis muy pequeno! (:A grateful nod to Mr. Gonzalez, too:)
Story: Helene Bullat was our foreign exchange student from Switzerland who
stayed with my family during senior year. She is living and working in
Switzerland, has a great job, a really nice place with a fantastic view of a
lake, and sends a fond hello.

My husband, Al, and I recently celebrated our 24th anniversary.
We have two sons, Michael, 22, and Jeremy, 18. Our first grandson, Matthew,
was born in October. It's hard to believe we're grandparents! Michael and
Matthew live in Utah. Jeremy's the Lead Tech at CompUSA on Howe Ave. (in case you
need computer stuff).
I worked at McClellan AFB for 12 years. Last year I was hired by
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Sacto; not far from where I grew up (Country Club
Center). After 23 years, I graduated from A.R. College with a degree in Business
Management; still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!
Our lives changed drastically this past year. Al (44) was
diagnosed with Acute Lymphocyctic Leukemia (ALL) in November. He underwent
chemotherapy and didn't receive a remission. Without a bone marrow transplant, he
would die within months. Fortunately, his brother was a perfect match; the
transplant took place at Stanford in February. We've been living in an apartment
near the hospital and have just started to be able to visit home on weekends. It's
been an incredible experience! Al's 60-day biopsy results were excellent...he's currently
in remission. Life's short...play hard! |

I graduated from Encina and attended undergraduate school in Colorado at Colorado Springs.
I finished there in '77 with BA in Spanish language. After a year of teaching elementary
school in the Virgin Islands, I enrolled in a masters program in Hispanic Literature at UC
Berkeley. It took me two years to complete the degree and to decide that academia wasn't
for me. So I fled back to the Virgin Islands and built houses, ran boats, managed charter
companies and had adventures for about six years. Then I moved to Newport, Rhode Island
and began working for a sailing magazine as an editor. I did that for almost nine years
and then moved to Charleston, South Carolina to handle the public relations for a mid-size
real estate development company that is developing one of the coastal barrier islands
here--Kiawah Island. I've been doing that for almost two years now. When not working
I race sailboats, build furniture, do a fair bit of freelance writing, volunteer for a
couple o! f charities (Habitat for Humanity and the Charleston Film Society) and travel as
much as possible. Never married and no kids, so you'll have to leave those columns blank.
I still have family in California.I'm not sure I can get out to the reunion this summer,
but I'd like to. I attended the 20th a few years ago and really enjoyed seeing as many
people as I did. |

Occupation: Division Director, California Lottery
Bio: What have I been doing in the last 26 years?? Well, I went to Sac State and
graduated with a BA in English & a Criminal Justice minor. Then I went crazy for
a couple of years and had such a good time that I can't remember much from those days
(sound familiar?). As reality set in around 1980 or so, I decided that it
might be a good idea to get a "real job" and so I went to work for the State of
California.... I know, I know, I sold out. Oh well, it's a good living
and I'm still a liberal Democrat God Damn it!. I started with the Lottery one week
before we started selling tickets in 1985 and since then I've moved up the ranks and
I have become a bald and comfortable civil servant. If you ever get a winner, call
me, my division pays claims for prizes (assuming, of course, that you actually have a
winning ticket!)
Personal stuff-- I never married and no I'm not gay. I have loved and lost without
having to finance some scum bag lawyer's Mercedes (no offense to any
J.D. Alumni intended). Still looking for Miss Right. I know she's out ther
somewhere. Jesus, this sounds like a personal ad!!
For fun, I boat (got a slip in Miller Park Marina) and cook and try as many different
wines as I can untill I find the one I like most (which I hope never happens).
Trivia: Can't think of any interesting trivia.
Friends: Martha Koropp (sp?). You still out there Martha???
Hobbies: See above.
Kids: I can tell you about my nephews if you really want to know.
Grade_school_friends: Best friends from Encina are the Churches sisters, Dave Dellinger,
George Deaser, a nd Nancy Patton. We've never lost touch and I still love them to
this day!
Junior_high: That was in Connecticut
Memorable_teachers: Mr. Coke. He's the only one I really remember.
Unfortunately, given that he was 104 in 1973 I think it's safe to say that he's gone to
that big Chemistry classroom
in the sky by now (at least I hope he has!).

Heard_about_website_from: Found it at ARC lab. |
Patrick Dunn (from his
serengetiphotosafaris.com website):
Your
host and guide, Patrick Dunn was born in Sacramento, California in 1955. He
has been an active member of the American Federation of Aviculture (AFA)
since 1978. At the 1979 AFA convention in Las Vegas, Nevada he was fortunate
to have met Mr. Robert J. Berry, Curator of Ornithology from the Houston
Zoo. It was through this timely meeting that Patrick applied for and was
offered a position with the Zoological Gardens where he worked in the
Tropical Birdhouse for two years. He learned about ornithology in its purest
form from Mr. Berry. Today, they still remain close friends and Patrick
looks to him for the most elusive answers to avicultural questions.
Late 1981, Patrick was hired by the Miami Metrozoo to remove
and transport all the bird specimens at Crandon Park Zoo to the new
Metrozoo. This turned into a seven month tenure moving from a 30-acre zoo on
Dinner Key to a 650- acre zoo outside of Homestead, Florida.
Subsequently, Patrick was employed with CampTel Ventures, an outdoor
adventure company. He led birdwatching tours throughout southern Mexico,
Guatemala, and Costa Rica for six months until hurricane season began. After
all his travels, Costa Rica today remains his favorite birding destination.
With birds from Texas and Florida, Patrick moved to the island of Kauai in
late 1982, where he started a bird farm which eventually grew into the
largest avicultural facility in Hawaii, Parrot Jungle of Kauai.
Patrick imported everything that the state would allow. On numerous
occasions, he actively testified to allow the entry of many more species as
he believed Hawaii is blessed with an environment that could really be
beneficial to aviculture. Over the next ten years, he supplied hotels on
five islands with birds and animals in creative interactive exhibits with
very lush tropical themes for the tourist's enjoyment.
In 1987, Patrick was approached by a resort developer to design and direct
construction of a zoo, Kauai's first zoo, part of a $600,000,000 resort
complex. By the time it was finished, Patrick had stocked, staffed and
directed the zoo at a cost of more than $80,000,000. His task included
designing a quarantine facility for incoming hoof-stock, birds and primates
as well as two complete commissaries at opposite ends of a 50-acre lagoon.
More than 60 species of birds and animals were exhibited on seven naturally
landscaped islands with no bars or cages.
Additionally, he procured all the zoological specimens, and searched the
mainland for nearly a year buying and shipping animals to Kauai. It was an
all consuming task that was completed with animals on exhibit within two
years.
Kauai Zoological Gardens was in
operation for nearly eight years. During that time, Patrick managed to breed
every species that was paired including three species of endangered Hawaiian
birds to multiple generations. The zoo however, was destroyed by a large
hurricane in 1992. Under private direction, he reopened the zoo for three
additional years. Due to a fragile island economy, the Japanese property
owners decided against its continuance. After surviving two hurricanes in
nearly fifteen years, he decided it was time to move to the mainland where
he purchased three acres in northern California and moved all of his stock
out of Hawaii.
Since 1983, Patrick has been guiding
bird watching trips to various parts of the world, adding Africa to his
itinerary five years ago. He keeps a "life list" of birds which now totals
over 3,400 species. In addition, he has been collecting insects since he was
five years old and holds a collection of about 10,000 specimens. Patrick was
a member of the Kauai film commission for 10 years and supplied birds,
animals and other natural history props to the industry for use in videos,
television commercials and motion pictures such as "Outbreak" and "Jurassic
Park". He is a scuba diver with advanced open water, search and rescue,
underwater navigation and dive master certifications. He is also an
accomplished Taxidermist.
