Clint Woeltjen

Graduated from UCSD in 1972 with degree in Psychology. I worked for Fluor Corp as a Piping Designer until 1976. I built my own computer in 1975. Went to Cal State Fullerton and worked on my Masters in Computer Science from 1977 - 1981. I got married to Linda Winter (class of 1968 LHHS) in Dec 1979. Laura and Tobiah were Linda's children from a previous marriage. Went to work at Computer Automation from 1980 - 1982. We moved to Carmel in 1982 after my mother died. Victor was born in Monterey in 1982. I worked at Digital Research as a language programmer until 1985. Moved to Yorba Linda in 1985 and went to work at Interactive Systems as a Unix programmer in Santa Monica for about 6 months until the drive became intolerable. I worked for myself as an Amiga programmer for the next 9 months while Linda wrote fantasy novels. In the beginning of 1987 I went to work for Pick Systems as a systems programmer. Two years later I went to work for Scan Optics as a Pick systems programmer. At the end of 1989, my brother and I started Virtual Reality Laboratories, Inc. I moved to Santa Maria in 1990 to be nearer to my brother who lived in San Luis Obispo. VRLI started as an Amiga software company, but branched out to the Mac and Windows in 1991. I started my own small company, Chaocity in 1992 to handle the Amiga business as it had become too small to be worthwhile for VRLI. In 1997 my brother and I sold VRLI to RomTech for $10 million in RomTech stock. On paper I was briefly a millionaire. The stock tanked shortly thereafter and I returned to being my normal self again. Linda and I were divorced on Valentine's Day in 1998. Linda moved to Boise, Idaho, where she currently resides. I remained in Santa Maria until Victor graduated in 2000. Tobiah left home in 1998 to go to college in San Francisco at the San Francisco Art Institute where he got his BA in Fine Arts in 2002. Victor went to the University of California in San Diego (my alma mater) and earned his BA in Fine Arts in 2004, graduating with honors. They are both working in San Francisco at the moment. Laura went to live with Linda in Boise and currently resides in Maryland near her father. I moved to Chico in 2001 to pursue my teaching credential in Physics. I ended up working for Upward Bound, initially as a tutor, then as a teacher and finally as an academic coordinator, which is what I am now.    Reunion occurs right at the end of the summer program which involves 7 day weeks, often 16-20 hours a day, so driving from Chico to Brea immediately afterwards is not even remotely possible.
