Corona del Vista’s Board of Directors Takes On a New Look Sandra Creech
Thursday, May 15, 2025 marked the changing of the guard at Corona del Vista.
President Sandra Creech, Vice-President Noel Peck, and Administrative Secretary Izzy Iyer completed their terms–a full two years–plus the remainder of a previous term when they stepped in to fill vacancies–so close to three years.
Truth be told, I jumped on board back then with the understanding that a management company was coming in and I figured how hard could it be to take on the presidency. I’d soon be able to take a back seat and fade into the background. HA! We know how well that worked out. Still, I love this park, my home, and was committed to doing the job., As is true of life in general, the job has had its ups and downs, and I’m sure the same would be said by my co-members. Fortunately and happily we worked well together. Through it all the Park thrives and it will continue to do so with Michele Werbeck and Doug Harvey whose experience will be a guide, coupled with the fresh eyes of Scott Brownlee, June Collins and Linda Greska. Welcome aboard!
The new Corona del Vista Board of Directors
President–Michele Werbeck Vice-President–June Collins Treasurer Doug Harvey
Secretary–Linda Greska
`Building and Grounds–Scott Brownlee
The event was attended by about 25 residents who enjoyed some pastries and coffee while they chatted and later listened to the PACE representative.
The Annual Meeting was led by outgoing President Sandra Creech with reports from Board members. Only two homes sold in 2024, a record low, Izzy pointed out. The election of the new officers was accomplished by acclimation since there were only as many candidates as open positions. The duties of the Administrative Secretary, as homes sell, will be overseen by the Vice-President along with Dick.
A bonus at the Thursday night meeting was the presentation of PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly). Connected with Medicare and Medicaid, it offers services for those who wish to stay in their homes but need assistance to do so. Representative Derek provided details and materials of the program which is connected with Family Health Centers of San Diego. A nearby clinic is available in Oceanside. Qualified PACE participants receive full medical care and support at no cost. Call 760-826-7223 for more information or a personal consultation.

Forty or more diners, a mixture of residents and guests enjoyed the free meal in the happy and colorful surround. Thanks to Tenaya Becker for decorating the clubhouse. Corona Club sponsored the dinner and supplied much of the food which consisted of salad with shrimp, both beef and pork street tacos, rice, beans and many toppings. And even before the meal, chips salsa and guacamole sparked appetites--or sated them! Thanks to Michele Werbeck for shopping! Primo (on Vista Way) was the source of the main meal. Carol Peck made the refried beans and Maria Rosales, well known in our Park, made the rice. Many thanks to both and to Scott, John and Michael who served; Leslee, Gladys, and Michele who cleaned up.

Game Day Brings a Respectable Number of Players and Good Fun
Harry Haubert took a chance and set up a Game Day on Wednesday,April 16 to accommodate a group from his North County Widows and Widowers Club as well as residents from Corona del Vista. His plan worked with 20 attendees enjoying the games and the snacks
As Harry reports, “I think we had a fairly successful Game Day today. We had 9 residents from the Park and 11 members of the NC Widows and Widowers. We had 3 tables in operation, 2 Mexican Train and 1 Rummy-Cube. We had many other games of lesser interest. We had a mix of players from both organizations at all 3 tables,
We all met or made new friends. Both organizations got pictures for their respective monthly newsletters/websites. There were plenty of fresh snacks from our Doug Elser who distributes food to charitable organizations for the hungry and frequently has enough to donate to us as well.
Although we had a few last minute cancellations due to doctor visits and other last minute interruptions, I believe we had enough fun to plan another similar event a few months from now. The week before Easter might not have been the best time to schedule the event.
I suggested that each person bring a friend next time. Twenty people had a lot more fun than half of that would have. In fact, there's hardly enough justification to plan such an event for only 10. I think 20 was worth more than 3 times what 10 would have been worth if that makes any sense.
There was a new Park resident, Theresa in # 37. She came by in the AM for some food goodies donated by Doug as I was prepping some things for the afternoon. I invited her and she surprisingly showed up and had a really good time.
All pitched in to clean up and I cannot believe how quickly it was exactly the way it was when we came in. I encouraged all to take some goodies home as we had so much with what the Widows and Widowers brought added to what Doug had left. Obviously there was no parking problem for so few, with several carpooling and most of the residents walked.

We lost a long time resident and a dear friend to many of us. Sara Kemp in #3 passed away on Sunday April 20, 2025. Her neighbor Mary (#2) writes, “Sara was a wonderful neighbor, very welcoming when we moved in.” Sara cared about our Park and offered both her opinions and assistance in past Park projects. We will miss her.
Tenaya #63 DOG OWNERS:
The dog park has a new addition–a sign stating the rules for using the park with your furry friend. It also carries a reminder to pick up your dog’ “deposits.” follow those rules. Some kind dog-owning residents are even providing plastic bags for others to use just in case you forget to bring one. Though it’s hard to imagine how a responsible dog owner can forget to bring one! If you have doggie bags to donate, please do! Enjoy the freshly cleaned and mulched area.

Part 5 of 6 Our Courtship
Jan Larsen
Can you remember all the details of your first meeting with your spouse or even a good friend? Lee and I have different stories to tell of our meeting. You have already heard some of my reaction when I first saw him. (The boy next door!)
I moved to Carlsbad, California in June of 1961. I worked as a temp at an office in Carlsbad with a lady named Joyce and a few others for just a month or so. Every day at lunchtime my folks would pick up and take me home to eat lunch. Sometimes Lee would come over to have lunch with Joyce and the others at the beach. He says that he saw me a few times as I walked to the car. He liked the way I walked. He said I had a bounce to my walk. He asked Joyce why I didn’t go to lunch with the others because he wanted to meet me. He was drafted shortly after that and didn’t see me again until about a year and a half later. When he came home on leave, he stayed with Joyce. He was surprised to see me living right next store and asked Joyce about me again. She told him I was seeing someone. I knew none of this and if I did I might not have been interested because he was in the Army and I wasn’t looking for a long distance relationship. Too Bad! But God was preparing us to get together in the near future.
I almost missed this!
Remember I told how I looked outside our kitchen window and saw him the first time? It was a Sunday and my Mom and sister and I were getting ready for church. When we got home Lee was sitting in our patio with my Dad and Eber, the neighbor next door. I had to get a better look so I went out in the patio to pick up beer cans. Lee teased me about that later. I can still remember the hat I wore that day and how excited I was to get to meet him. Lee was discharged in Kansas on September 27, 1963, and arrived in Vista on September 30th
Tuesday was Dad’s birthday and we invited Joyce and Eber over to celebrate. Keep in mind this was the first time in 2 years that we ever invited them over. I called Joyce and told her it would be nice if she would bring her brother. How obvious could I get? Everyone knew what was going on and tried their best to get us together. We went out to our den and sat and talked. Would you believe I thought he was boring because he didn’t talk much? I found out later that he had worked in the sun all day and had a beer on the way home and was half asleep. Not exactly a good start to a relationship.
A few weeks later my brother, Tom, was washing his car in the driveway. I saw Lee and his friend also there washing their cars. I decided to try again with this “boy next door” so I went out and helped Tom with his car. This was also a first for me. We then decided to go out for pizza. Norm started to get in the front seat but Lee said he wanted me to sit in the front with him. WOW, folks, things are getting promising. After pizza we all sat in Joyce’s house and watched TV. It was a scary movie so I sat with a newspaper over my face. Lee was sitting next to me to me on couch. Out of nowhere he bent over and KISSED ME!! That was the beginning of something REALLY GOOD! Tom and Norm left and Lee and I stayed on the couch. We kissed again and again. When he walked me home he asked, “When are you going to go out with me?” And I said, “When are you going to ask?” A month later we were engaged and three months later we were married.
On our first Christmas Lee gave me a beautiful sweater and skirt set. Years later I made myself a T-shirt quilt and was able to put a flower from that sweater on the quilt. It’s one of my favorite keepsakes.
On February 22, 1964, we were married at Carlsbad Union Church at 7:00 p.m.. That afternoon Lee came over to talk to my Dad. He finally asked, “May I marry your daughter?” Dad said, “It’s about time you asked. Yes, you have my blessing.” When Dad walked me down the aisle and went to hand me over to Lee, he was standing on my dress. I thought Dad, this isn’t the time to change your mind. He didn’t change his mind and the wedding was beautiful and I felt beautiful standing next to my handsome groom. For our honeymoon we drove up the coast of California. After sixty one years we are still in love . We thank God for seeing us through some good times and bad times.
I have one more story to tell. At our wedding ceremony the Pastor told Lee that he was to give me 2 roses every year on our anniversary; one for love and one for devotion. On our first anniversary I was so excited to get the 2 roses. That afternoon a florist truck drove in our driveway and handed me a PLANT!! Not exactly what I was wanting. That evening when Lee came home, he gave me a beautiful corsage with 2 roses. He did that every year for years. One year the gave me a rosebush. He thought that would last me a few years. What a guy!
Here’s our 1st and our 60th anniversary pictures Notice the roses and our weight and the hair color!
When we got married, Lee was a lather. He became a truck driver 2 years later. He drove truck with my Dad. He bought his own truck and was an owner-operator for 38 years in the construction industry. He retired in 2023. We lived on Maryland Drive for 35 years before moving to Corona Del Vista in 2025.
I had many jobs in the clerical field through the years but they were just jobs. My career was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Lee had the pleasure of restoring and driving our 1956 Ford pickup. I went with him to pickup shows for 15 years. We drove our little red pickup to Tennessee twice to big pickup shows. What great memories!
Halden A Larsen was born on October 27, 1964, at Oceanside Hospital. It was a Tuesday. We had gone to a picnic on Sunday and I woke up around midnight with what I thought was heartburn from too much to eat. On Monday he went to work at 7:00 and I remember feeling so lost and scared. Lee called my Mom and she came over to check on me. At 9:00 she called the doctor and told him I was in labor. LABOR! NO WAY! Finally after 36 hours they took me to surgery for a C-Section. Lee and my folks sat in the waiting room and cried. I suffered a lot pain, but it was so worth it. We thank God for the gift of the children He gave us.
Lee went home to rest and when he came back to the hospital he was so happy and he thanked me for giving him a son. He was so emotional I thought he would cry. I asked him what we were going to name him. He said, “Halden, isn’t that what we agreed on?” We found the name in a baby book. Halden means Half Dane. We thought we were so clever to give him the initials that people would call him in his later years. HAL What a delight he has always been to us.
I’ll never forget Halden’s first day of kindergarten. We lived in a small house that was on the land where Food 4 Less is today. I walked Halden to the bus at the end of our driveway and saw him get on the bus. I cried all the back to the house. At 12:00 I expected him home by then. What have you done with my son! I called the school and they said he was there. The principal drove him home so the bus driver would know where to drop him off from then on. I asked him if he cried and he said. “No Mom, but my heart was crying on the inside.”
This is one of our family’s favorite stories - Halden
Halden was very proud of being half-Dane. On my side of the family it is like Heinz 57, a little bit of a lot of things. When he was about 9 or 10, he did a report on Denmark. One night at dinner he was telling us about all he learned about the country. Then he said to Lee in all seriousness, “Dad, if I married a full-blooded Dane and we had kids and their kids married full-blooded Danes and it went on and on, how long would it take to breed out the impurities?” Of course I was annoyed but then laughed with everyone else.
Well folks , I can get pretty chatty when I talk about my kids so this month I have written 3 pages.
William Wayne Larsen was born at Oceanside Hospital on August 25, 1967. What a cute baby he was and Halden just loved him. The boys got along quite well. It was so much fun to watch them rolling around the floor and laughing and carrying on. They were best friends.
Bill had surgery for a hernia when he was 18 months old. Leaving him at the hospital that night before the surgery was hard. He was so happy to see us the next morning and the surgery went well. Years later he was back in the hospital when he had his tonsils out. When he got back to the room, he was so mad at Lee. He said, “You told me it wouldn't hurt but you were wrong.”
Bill had a blanket that he carried around constantly. It got pretty dirty so I washed it and hung it on the clothes line. It wasn’t long before he was sitting on the ground and holding on to it.
In high school he played football. He was very compassionate and one night during a game one of his fellow teammates was hurt. Bill stayed with the boy till the doctor came and got him.
Here’s Bill’s favorite family story: It was almost Christmas and we were going to see Santa. I served a nice meal to the family, only Bill didn’t think it was so nice. He said he wasn’t going to eat the green beans. He was being so stubborn when Lee said we were going anyway and he was to stay at the table and eat. Bill stayed. We were halfway down the road when I started crying and told Lee we had to go back. When we got back, Bill was still sitting at the table. He said, “I’m still not eating them.” We all went to see Santa. I talked to him just the other day about this and he said, “Mom, they were GREEN BEANS,” That said it all.”
A few weeks before I delivered my third child our Pastor visited me. I told him that I was sure I was going to have a girl. The boys were especially wild that day and I said to him, “God wouldn’t do that to me. I couldn’t handle another boy.” (Spoiler alert - when that little girl grew up, she had 3 boys.)
When Lee took me to the hospital the day before delivery, the nurse sent him down the hall. Why, who knows? Anyway when he came back to my room, he found me crying. I said, “I can’t do this it hurts too much.” He replied very softly, “Honey, it’s too late to back out now.” I didn’t back out obviously and our special baby girl Christina Louise Larsen was born on June 25, 1970.
When Lee went to pick up the boys he said, “Guys, we are in trouble, we are outnumbered.” The boys loved her and looked out for her. They still do.
One day I lost her in the Mall. Forty-five minutes later security found her in the parking lot and called me. When I got there she said, “Mommy, where were you? I was looking for you. I tried to find our car.” That wasn’t the last time I lost her. She wasn’t very shy and would wander off looking for a new friend. Tina loved to read and one summer she won the award at school for reading the most books. I could go on and on about what a great kid she was and how much fun we had. I actually tried to teach her how to knit but she couldn’t do it. She did learn to quilt later though. Between Tina and me, the guys were really outnumbered. Still are!
Tina’s favorite family story: We moved to El Centro for 7 long, horrible months. Tina loved her stuffed animal named Tigger. One day we went looking for her and she just showed up home and couldn’t understand why we were worried. She was only 4 year years old and she had walked. down the road to the fast food place for a donut. We asked her why she did that on her own and she said, “I wasn’t alone, I had Tigger with me.” She might have been OK with that but the rest of us weren’t.
Next month I’ll tell you about our kids’ later years and introduce you to our Grandkids and Great-grandkids. She loved this stuffed dog and had it for years.

Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don't see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.

More people can be greater leaders than they think they can, but they need a purpose greater than themselves.
William J. Clinton, 42nd president of the United States.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Frequently attributed to Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United State
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, from a sign on his desk.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.

Ronald Reagan
The Lighter Side
Rice Preference
The young woman really thought she'd been very patient through a protracted period of dating with no talk of marriage.
One night her steady boyfriend took her to a Chinese restaurant. As he perused the menu, he casually asked her, "So . . . how do you like your rice? Boiled? Steamed? Or fried?"
Without missing a beat, she looked over her menu at him and replied clearly, "Thrown."
Talking Clock
While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, one wag led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked.
"Why, that's the talking clock," the man replied. "Watch", the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering pound with a hammer.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "F'gosh sakes, you idiot, it's 2 a.m. in the morning!"
Apples
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
