1962
Lee, here.. I graduated at 5’2” and grew 8” more to be 5’10”. I went to Pierce College and then on to Cal Poly, SLO. I got my draft notice then, so I joined the navy instead and did West Pac. duty on a repair ship built in 1944. I reconnected with Jonathan Pinne in Taiwan who was on conventional submarine duty. Came back home and went to motorcycle repair school. Met my wife, Robin, of 38 years, at “Under the Ice House” in Glendale.
We moved to Santa Barbara where I went to SBCC. I took business classes and majored in auto repair. We had a chance to move to northern California and we took it. We bought 20 acres of raw land with no power, no phones, no running water or conventional toilet. Ron Bonfiglio came up to help us build our first cabin. I had a small engine and auto repair business. Robin worked as a school nurse for the school district. We had bees for honey, chickens, fruit trees, and gardens. We raised 2 children. Jake, our son, was murdered 13 years ago and we miss him still. Lauren, our daughter, now married, gave us our first grandchild this year. We are both retired now and enjoy the country as always. We walk every evening and sit in our chairs, looking up at the night sky for falling stars. Send Quenton "Lee" a Message

Retired USDA (mostly Forest Service)
Married

1962
After graduation, I attended Occidental college where I majored in biology. I married a fellow Oxy student, Linda Stroop, just after graduation in June 1966. We both spent the first few years of our marriage in graduate school at UCLA. While Linda eventually completed both Masters and PhD degrees, I dropped out to work for the Forest Service on the Angeles National Forest. For twenty years, I worked at Chilao, and both of our children, Sarah and Lorianne, were born while we were living in a government residence in Chilao Campground. In 1991, I transferred to the Forest Service office in Washington DC, and we moved to Warrenton, where we now live. I worked at Forest Service headquarters for almost ten years, and then moved to USDA headquarters where I managed a staff office. I retired at the end of 2009, but Linda is still teaching math at the local community college where she has worked for many years. We are both looking forward to the reunion. Send Bruce a Message
