In the Spotlight at Royal Oaks
Lori Rolovich By Joyce Forte, Roving Reporter
This month I was able to catch up with another Royal Oaks Trustee. We’ve gotten to know more about our HOA Officers and two other Trustees, who agreed to be “In the Spotlight”. Now here’s a chance to learn more about Lori Rolovich, a resident of Florence Way. Lori was born in San Francisco. In chatting with her about genealogy, I found out that Lori’s grandmother had lived in the City and survived the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake! She had shared some of these memories with her grandchild when Lori did a high school project. Wow! When you read Lori’s interview, you’ll see that family is very very important to her. Please continue reading to find out what sport she follows closely and why her favorite team changes, from time to time. JOYCE: Tell us a little about yourself. LORI: I came from a family of 6 children- 5 boys and 1 girl. I also have 32 first cousins and we would get together often. I have 3 children- 2 boys and 1 girl and I am blessed with 7 grandchildren, ages 4-19. JOYCE: Where did you grow up/attend high school? LORI: I was born in San Francisco and raised in Daly City, a suburb of SF. I lived there until I got married. I went to Mercy High School in SF which is a Catholic all-girl high school. JOYCE: How long have you been associated with/lived at Royal Oaks? LORI: I’ve lived in Royal Oaks since 2018. JOYCE: What do you think makes Royal Oaks a special place to live? LORI: Definitely the people around me and also the people who organize the fun events here. I feel like people look out for each other here. JOYCE: In your spare time, what do you like to do? LORI: Exercise, walk with friends, always spend time with family and my grandkids. They are #1. JOYCE: What is something unique people would never guess about you? LORI: Maybe not unique but I try not to kill any spiders in my house- that is bad luck! I get them to go outside. JOYCE: What kind of food(s) do you enjoy the most? LORI: Fresh fish is my favorite and most things Italian. Corned beef and cabbage tops the list!
JOYCE: Do you have any special sports teams that you cheer on? LORI: Being a Bay Area native, I like the 49ers and the Giants but I’m more of a fan of college football. I think it’s a more pure game. My oldest son is a college football coach, so my favorite team is whatever team he is coaching! JOYCE: Is there a certain place, near or far, that you have visited and still hold in your heart? LORI: Yes, that place is Ireland. The people are the kindest and most hospitable that I have ever met. Generous of heart. The natural landscape of the Island is stunning and so rich in history. JOYCE: Do you have a favorite movie that you never tire of seeing again and again? LORI: “The Boondock Saints”*. I love in the end of movies when the bad guys lose to the underdogs! (*Note: A 1999 action thriller directed by Troy Duffy, a fictional story of two brothers who set out to rid Boston of organized crime. There’s a sequel- “The Boondocks Saints II: All Saints Day.”) JOYCE: On a rainy day, what is your preferred thing to do? LORI: I enjoy getting into a good book or digging into my brother’s huge family history that he has built up for over 40 years. He’s an amazing researcher. JOYCE: What is your favorite holiday and why? LORI: St. Patrick’s Day because that was the one day that everyone came to my parents’ house to celebrate. There was no deciding on any other place- all the family was gathering there. JOYCE: If you could spend an hour or two with a famous person, from the past or present, who would it be and why? LORI: I would probably choose Princess Diana. She did so much good in the world and I’d love to hear her viewpoint on who she thought may have chased the car when she was killed. (In Paris, 1997.) JOYCE: Tell us one of your simple pleasures. LORI: Getting together with friends or family to play the card game of “Pedro”. Much fun! JOYCE: Is there anything else you’d like us to know about you? LORI: Yes. I’m an incredibly proud American. THANK YOU, LORI, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LET ROYAL OAKS RESIDENTS GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER! IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
