Think of you today. A little over 40 years ago I met you at the Press Enterprise newspaper. You helped me decide which classes I should take at Riverside City College.
Take the history class with the teacher that has long hair, wears shorts and sandals all the time. Take the biology class Mylene mentioned. We had fun in both of classes. We lost contact after that.
