Karen Powers

… Probably won’t be able to attend this reunion; I have “widow business” scheduled in No Cal in October. My eMail is listed, and the eternal PO Box (9712, in Brea) still works. …BTW, re: Dad’s cataract surgery…if one is past the earliest Alzheimer’s stages, better to avoid—unless one has considerable resources for round-the-clock medical care. Rest of family is well; lost Aunt Nancy (mom of Indians Cindy and Randy Shaffer) this year, too.
Blessed be — … Summer ‘21.

-- CHRISTMAS UPDATE AT BOTTOM (for 2012) --

Ah, the Great Recession. (Depression II?!)
Can't attend this time; very recently joined the ranks of potential 99-weekers in our great state, so I'm adapting...
Job retraining. Hunt medical coverage. Spin one resume into five (EDD prefers this). Cut expenses to the bone. Make sure I don't fall and break something I really need.
I suspect others may be facing challenges... eh? After spending part of the '90s sleeping in my car on our fine Fullerton streets, rumor holds...they're no longer so friendly.
Even so, am glad to have a "fresh start"--more family time, advanced education...and, hey! I need to lose weight anyway!
May all of you have love, good health, and strength for the next decade. We'll have many tales to relate at the 40-year!

PS -- see the 1941 classic "Meet John Doe". Flawed ending, BUT-- !

UPDATE-- 12/22/12
Hello, fellow Indians! :)
For the record...am still unemployed.
Nonetheless, I am optimistic that I'll have better luck in 2013. (I've had a whopping 3 interviews since Fall 2011.)
For those who have met my dad, I should mention he's in the middle stages of Alzheimer's; I have burned a lot of hours (and mental concentration) looking after him, though some of this is by phone. (Unfortunately, his "Ladies' Man" tendencies backfired on him; his 3rd wife of 24+ years asked him to leave in July '08..so he rents rooms for now--a real challenge for a man in his condition.)
I will be busy nursing him through recovery from cataract surgery the latter half of January 2013. Come February, though...if anyone knows of any Valentine's related temp work, or something even better--feel free to call and tip me off! Can work North OC, or Western Riverside County as far east as San Jacinto/north of Murrieta.

Oh yes-- I can still type, though can't lift much. Also perfectly okay with standing on my feet through an 8-hour shift.

Shameless self-promotion, you say?! Weeelll...yes, I guess so. The job counselors DID tell us to ask "anyone you know", though...sorry I'm unable to clean houses or do much roofing or babysitting!

To all: have a Blessed Christmas (Solstice for the pagans, and Hanukkah...HI, PAUL!) and wonderful New Year.
Give all your family members (and pets) big hugs.
