I spent some time in the Army. I came back to town and worked several different jobs at one time to make ends meet. In 1990 began driving tow trucks around Carmichael, then went to work at another towing company mostly working for the Highway Patrol. IN 1997 I left and began my a career in Corrections in Nevada. I rose the rank of Senior Correctional Officer at the Ely Maximum Security Prison. I also spent a good part of my off time as a Volunteer Fire Fighter specializing in Wildland Firefighting. In 2009 I transferred to NNCC in Carson City and after 16 years, I'd had enough. My father-in-law is an Engineer with the Union Pacific RR in Salt Lake City, so I started applying with the other major class 1 railroads and was picked up by BNSF up here in Minot, ND. Yes, the hiring boom up here got me and although I don't work directly for the oil companies, I can thank them for creating the work that requires so many train crews. Trivia: Trivia? Typical life. Married, Divorced, now remarried and happier than I've ever been. BestFriends: Ward Fenley, Scott Crabbe, Dave Pannell, and others. Too many to list Hobbies: Geocaching, shooting, etc. I mostly enjoy mechanical work and am looking forward to building my kids, especially my little girl, their first vehicles. Kids: Garrett was born in 2007 and is my first born son. He's changed my life. He's been a real Daddy's boy since he was born. He isn't happy unless he's doing something with daddy. Sean was born in 2009 and has Down's Syndrome. But that doesn't stop him at all. It's a little different raising a child with Down's but we're very fortunate in that he is just developmentally delayed. No physical limitations and no other known afflictions that we have to deal with. He isn't so much of a Daddy's boy but when he wants attention, he'll go to either of us that's available, but I'm the preferred one. Rylee is my little Daddy's girl. Very independent. Gets that from her mother. Always wants, and gets, Daddy's approval in just about everything she does. Great little helper around the house (or so she thinks) and has become a shadow to Sean. Where Sean is, Rylee isn't far behind. All in all, I couldn't ask for a better family. GradeSchool: Sierra Oaks MiddleSchool: Jonas Salk MemorableTeachers: Mr. Dutton. He managed to get me to understand Algebra and never gave up on me. 6/20/14 |

| Leif Alexander Weightman Passed away June 10, 2008, in Orinda, Calif. Born on Oct. 10, 1966, in Sacramento, Calif., Leif attended Sacramento City schools, graduating from Encina High School in 1984. Being gifted in graphic arts, Leif "interned" with local graphic designers before finishing high school, working in several busy shops. In Sacramento he worked for Hal Hammond Graphics, Brian Thomas Design, and the design department of Sacramento Regional Transit. In 1991, Leif relocated to Peterborough, N.H., where he formed The Weightman Group serving as art director. Leif married his soul mate Tracy Poulin in 1997. Together they restored an historic house in Fitzwilliam, N.H. Leif worked for seven years with the great designer Gaylord Bennett at PC Connections, Inc. rising to senior graphic designer. A divorce occurred. Leif went into consulting for IRobot, UPromise and other small businesses and individuals. Moving to Newport RI to be close to his son, Leif became active in Boy Scouts of America and Landmark Education, and was a well-loved member of the community. He tried "to live a life of contribution to others in a way that leaves them inspired to love one another." In December 2007 Leif returned to Sacramento intending to fulfill two life-long dreams: a college degree and a pilot license. His intentions were cut short due to the effects of ADD and a profound depression. Leif is survived by son Spencer Gradley Weightman, Newport, R.I.; mother Sara Hallin-Lundstrom (John), Eureka, Calif.; father Ivan Weightman (Christine), Boise, Idaho; brother Jon Weightman (Lora), Red Bluff Calif.; sisters Lisa Weightman, San Francisco Calif., Katherine and Margaret Weightman Sonora, Calif.; and Uncle Jack Hallin (Marian), Monterey Park, Calif.; nieces, a nephew and many cousins. Leif is the grandson of recently-deceased Vern and Charlotte Hallin. A memorial service was held on June 13 at Walnut Creek, Calif., John Muir Hospital Chapel was led by Fa. Andrew Jacobs of St. Susanna Mission in Sonora, Calif., and Fa. Ian MacKinnon of Elevation of the Holy Cross Orthodox Church, Sacramento. The family thanks everyone for their condolences. Because Leif wished to be an organ donor, six recipients now live improved lives. Donations in Leif's memory may be made to California Transplant Donor Network, 1000 Broadway Ave., Suite 600, Oakland CA 94607. Published in the Sacramento Bee on 7/18/2008 |

classmates.com: Aloha Old Friends... Unfortunatly I fell off the face of the earth post graduation and I have missed many of you since. I remain as enigmatic as ever and I continue a private lifestyle. I choose not to use this site as a sounding board of my achievments because I feel it undermines the personal nature of reaquainting with old and in some cases very dear friends. I am in great health with a beautiful son who is six years old, his name is Story Gryphon Parker. I have had the privelidge of running into some of you over the years and that pleasure is always mine. After spending many years on the road I am glad to be somewhat grounded in Fair Oaks, my current place of residence. I share my life with my fiance', Mariarosa who imigrated here from Italy fourteen years ago along with her son Shaine. The Arts are a way of life at our home and are intertwined with our closest friends and family. I wish the best to all who take the time to read this passage. I hope this finds you happy, healthy and at peace. Remember...that Love, Compassion and Understanding is paramount in our journeys through life. Cheer's! 6/18/04 |

Brooke is my beauty with a will of iron. She, like her brother, is very smart and athletic, but she can be extremely competitive, headstrong and just a plain poor sport if she looses or doesn't do as well as she hoped(hmmmmm, where did she get that from?). Is it any wonder I have to have my color touched up every six weeks?

They provided me with typing, computer, accounting skills and a great deal of encouragement to put myself through college and beyond. Mr. Lawrence for teaching me how to communicate more effectively (who knew this stuff would be so important in the ninth grade?). Mr. Derderian for his commen sense approach to consumer economics and government which I still use today. Lastly but most importantly, Ms. Darlene Meiselman in the attendance office for keeping me in-line and letting me work in the office to make up all the time I owed back for cutting class freshman year. Without her help, I wouldn't have graduated on time. Favorite_memory: I was so anxious to get out and on with my life, it's all a blurr.

Kids: My wife and I have two boys, Austin 1 1/2 and Trumann 6mos. Kids have changed my life.

Grade_school: Greer Junior_high: Jonas Salk Junior_high_friends: Shawn Lindsey, Steve Pudelski (deceased), Brian Sherril, Memorable_teachers: Mrs. Kojima--firm yet loving. Favorite_memory: Laughing hysterically with Jon Walker "squint a pebble." I think only he and I would get that. Story: After clawing my way through 36 years of life, I have finally come to the conclusion that, after properly acknowledging the Creator, the purpose of man can be identified by asking and answering the following question: if I was incapacitated and yet had all my mental faculties, what would I need most? Love and companionship from others. Therefore, if that is true, then we have concluded that others' purpose would be to love and accompany us during our greatest need. It follows that our purpose in life should be the same. I.e., once we are able to conceive of ourselves as having only our mental faculties and awareness, we then perceive our greatest emotional need. Sibling_info: My sister is Catherine Smith. She has three beautiful daughters and one boy. 5/17/03 |

classmates.com: My Life Biography My life has taken many interesting turns. I moved around a bit after leaving Quincy and Portola--a long story that probably doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. My dream of being a singer never panned out--but I have no one to blame but myself. I had many fascinating opportunities that I watched pass me by. I have two beautiful children--both girls. Although I'm not sure how it happened, I work for a health insurance company as a field rep, which means that I value my "down time" so that I can spend more time with the girls. My greatest accomplishment (excepting my children) is that I am a published author. My first book has garnered some film interest. There are several more novels in the works, but I find that I have little time to put the necessary attention on them. Thus, they are warming themselves on the back burner until something changes in my schedule. Lastly, I have recently had the opportunity to work on a documentary set in Plumas County. I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time in Quincy again, and I realize now how much I miss it. I would love to get back in touch with folks that remember their grade school years. I have missed everyone so much and would like to get back in touch. It is my sincere hope that you have all found your dreams, or that you've at least discovered the path that will take you where you want to be. 12/13/02 |
| Scott Jones writes: Occupation: Plumber, Martial Arts Instructor Bio: As I never graduated High School, I will have to go all the way back to 1981. Over that summer break, I was approached by a neighbor who neede a helper for a couple of days. He was a self-employed plumber, and those couple of days lasted for almost 2 years. After he closed his shop, it was too late to continue school and graduate with my class, so I joined the Navy. While that was an interesting and educational experience, the military life was not for me. When my enlistment was over, I returned home to Sacramento,returned to my prior occupation as a plumber, and married in 1987 (hindsight reveals that at 21, I was still not mature enough to understand all the factors involved in this choice). My first daughter was born in January of 1988, and my second daughter in October of 1989.Shortly after the birth of our second child, we relocated to Reno, Nevada. I enjoyed our stay there, but I soon had the rug pulled out from under me. Not long after our move, My wife left us, and as we had not had time to establish uter p Trivia: I don't know what might interest you, however I have had many trivial events throughout my life Friends: I had many friends, however I was somewhat of an undesirable in school, and I do not wish to humiliate anyone by linking them to me. I am not in contact with anyone from my youth, and most would be shocked by how much my attitude and outlook has changed since school. Hobbies: I now teach Martial Arts, specializing in ADHD and other types of behaviorially challenged children. (yes, those of you who remember me, the biggest problem in school now makes a hobby of working with problem children. I guess it's my way of repenting, and paying for all the grief I caused my parents, teachers and classmates.) I also spend quite a bit of time volunteering at my daughters schools, I am an active member of the Las Vegas Astronomical Society, active in the church I attend, and have just assisted in forming a student based Astronomy club at the local college. (yes, space still fascinates me) Kids: I could go on forever here. I have 2 beautifull daughters, one in middle school, one in High School.. (man, I'm getting old) They are both active in the youth organization at church, my oldest is also an instructor at the Karate studio I work at, (her sister is just learning to teach), among various activities at school. Ashton is well on her way to mastering the violin, Tristan , the piano..(ya, the burned out metal head finally grew up, and has now learned to appreciate the fine arts, and insists on classical training for his kids) They are both cheerleaders, and active in student government.(another thing that still amazes me.... I raised a couple of "preppy's") Junior_high: howe avenue 11/9/02 |
