Hi Classmates – 50 years – whether you’re having fun or not… TIME FLIES! To get Brian Moyer off my back, here’s a brief bio:

I graduated from San Francisco State University in 1969. In 1967, I joined the Naval Reserves (the 2 x 6 program) and in October 1969, I was assigned to active duty in Sasebo, Japan - returning home in 1971 to finish my reserve duty in 1974 as a Yeoman 3^rd Class. During my college years, I worked in men’s clothing sales at Macy’s, Roos Atkins and Vaughn’s at Sather Gate. I started my full time career in men’s clothing at Vaughn’s in downtown Oakland. From there, I moved on to Macy’s San Francisco as an Associate Buyer and Group Sales Manager. Eventually, I went into partnership with the Peddler in San Francisco’s Embarcadero center. In 1983, I joined Pacific Bell directory as an Advertising Sales Rep and retired in 2008.

In 1973, I married by better half, Sherri Mangiapane (Holy Names High School Class of ’66). We celebrated our 40^th wedding anniversary last year. We have three wonderful children and one new daughter in law. We have been residents of Walnut Creek since 1985.

I have fond memories of both my classmates and teachers at St. Mary’s. The camaraderie and the La Sallian spirit have remained with me to this day. The school dances and sports events are the most memorable. Remember when the Oakland Raiders practiced at our school? In two days the football field was completely torn apart!

I’ve made every class reunion since our 20^th and I look forward to seeing my fellow classmates for this Golden Anniversary. I hope this finds you all doing well. GO PANTHERS!!!
