1979 Anne Burton Hockett annehockett@me.com Stephen Pocock reports, “Well, I’m still in Oakland and am the salumiere
at Boccalone, making those tasty salted pig parts. I also have a little side deal going, Damn Fine Bacon, which makes, you guessed it, damn fine bacon. My kids, Henry and Charlotte, are finishing ninth grade. Charlotte is in the creative writing program at the School of the Arts in San Francisco, and Henry plays tennis at Balboa High School. My lovely wife Jill Cohen works as a senior programmer at Autodesk. We all went to New Zealand for an amazing trip last December. It was great to see all my cousins and their kids (who remembers that I was born there?). Let’s see, I just had my shoulder replaced, so that’s my second new joint. Not that kind of joint. Sheesh! I
love being connected with so many of you all on Facebook. I miss David Bowie, Merle Haggard and Prince.” Alison Ball says, “I am still dancing and performing professionally. I just graduated with an associate of science degree as a physical therapy assistant in order to get a steady job with benefits. I have my master’s, bachelor’s and now associate’s degree. Working backwards, I plan to start high school next year. Actually my amazing son Carl graduates from high school so we are on the college tour. We are busy and happy boogie dancing in the kitchen.” An update from Paul Stephenson: “Just a quick note about me. I’m a professor in the biology department at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla. My wife Helen and I just celebrated the graduation of our oldest son (we have three) from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!). I keep in touch with Alex McClung frequently, and we’ve been doing a lot of snorkeling and kayaking at local Florida Springs. Hope all is well. Best wishes.” James McDonald writes, “After 24 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, I closed my business and returned to the East Coast. I am now living in Richmond, Va., and working as the executive banquet chef at a small, off-premise catering company. After so many years away, I had forgotten the simple joys of hot sticky summer nights and shoveling three feet of snow at 6 a.m.! If you make it down South, stop and say hello.” Sharon Brown says, “I have been living in Minneapolis since 1987 and ended up marrying a Minnesotan with a 6-year-old daughter. Dave and I
