[Date] What's happening in my life now
Election cycle is starting to heat up here in sunny AZ! Politics are one of my passions and I have accepted the position as Press Secretary for one of the candidates for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Hopefully I can remember Sal LaMagra’s lessons in vocal projection…Having a blast with my “real job” in criminal investigations.
Both of my sister Vicky’s kids graduate this June, Val from Coronado HS starts Cal Tech in September. And Max from UC Davis this June and will be starting grad school there.
