I married a Naval Officer in 1964. We were married for 15-1/2 years and traveled all over the United States and were in Hawaii for 3 years. We had 3 lovely daughters and divorced in 1980. In 1987 I married a classmate, Ronald Shinn. We were married for 15 years until he died of lung cancer in 2002. I am fortunate enough that his 4 daughters became a part of my family and I am still close to all of them. With 3 daughters and 4 stepdaughters, I have 16 grandchildren. My oldest grandson, Jeremy, is in Australia studying for 1 semester. He is a student at American University in Washington DC and hopes to become a journalist. My youngest grandson is 3 years old. The oldest grandchildren have all found their paths in life and I am proud of each and every one. Six years after Ron's death, I have found a companion. He works for the same company as I do and we both hope to retire soon. I have been with Flowserve for 27 years thus far. Although I traveled for 15 years while a Navy wife, I am ready to resume traveling for leisure.
For years, Harry Diavatis brought classmates together through his Monday Updates,
sharing photographs, memories, news, and stories from the Vallejo High School family.
His dedication helped classmates stay connected, rekindle friendships, and remember
the people and places that made our school years special.
This tribute honors Harry and his wonderful contribution to preserving our class history.

"Just discovered your product today while trying to locate classmates ahead of our 50th reunion in 2020. The fact that you did this in a noncommercial manner in a world where everything has a price tag deserves recognition and respect, in my view.
Thank you and good luck in all your endeavors."
