Comments:

Lived in Phoenix, AZ after tenth grade. Following Arizona State University Graduation- moved to the live out in L.A.,California area. Not for me, returned to quieter, more suitable environment. Met was engaged and two years later returned to the Land of Enchantment to marry a Highland H.S.Albuquerque H.S. graduate, Jerry Goffe. I have been divorsed since 2007. Two wonderful daughter's, Michelle and Rachel. Michelle's life tragically ended when she was nineteen years old. Rachel, our younger daughter has three terrific children, making me a very happy grandmother who sees these family members at their Caldwell, ID home about three times a year. For the past fifteen years I have happily worked at a plant nursery and enjoy volunteering as a docent at the Botanic gardens. I also enjoy traveling- now more to visit family-Rachel & husband Adam and grandchildren, my sister Laurie in Walnut Creek, CA and my brother Barry in Scottsdale, AZ. I still have very fond memories of the many wonderful places all over the world that I once traveled.

School Story:

I was sort of uprooted from my Albuqerque home at a most difficult time, I was a sixteen year old. When moving to Phoenix, AZ, I often times would say to my new classmates, "This is how we did this at Highland H.S. in Albuquerque, NewMexico." A new and very honest acquaintence and later friend stared and then said, " Maybe you should either go back to Albuquerque H.S. or stop comparing us here at Central H.S. in Phoenix to this other place you seem to be still longing to return." That reality check helped me to integrate into this new environment and happily I returned to this special place I call home.

I went to grade school  at Whittier Elementary School with Russel, I remember him as a very kind, and caring person.  I wish you patience and fond memories as you go through this time in your life.  Sylvia Bernell Goffe
